Overview of CTG Global CTG Global is a Personnel Management Service Company specialised in Recruitment, Management Consultancy, and Human Resources in countries experiencing or emerging from armed conflict, natural disasters , or acute social and economic crisis worldwide. CTG Global provides tailored personnel management support enabling a growing number of public and private sector agencies and individuals to achieve their objectives in complex and challenging environments. CTG Global clients currently comprise UN agencies, non-government organizations (NGOs), and different corporate organisations such as security companies.

Overview of the Position

Organizational Context/Background The impacts of climate change are already being felt across Horn of Africa. It is predicted that the region will be facing more extreme and frequent droughts and floods. These climatic disasters are also one of the main hazards in Somalia. Being a high risk country exposed to frequent climatic disasters, it is therefore critical that the country has a well-conceived National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA). The 2011 UN Secretary General Report (UN SG Report 2011) on the "Protection of Somali Natural Resources and Waters" highlights that some 30% of the land (catchments, range areas and agriculture lands) is considered degraded. Increases in the duration and frequency of drought cycles triggered by the global climatic changes has made these impacts more obvious with severity levels crossing a critical threshold and creating famine situations that are a clear evidence of lack of resilience of Somalia's population to face the consequences of prolonged drought and other natural calamities
