ICT Expert- National Urban Poverty Reduction Programme (NUPRP).
(only Bangladeshi nationals are eligible to apply)
Background National Urban Poverty Reduction Programme (NUPRP) will provide support towards contributing to balanced, sustainable growth and reduction of urban poverty in Bangladesh. NUPRP will work nationwide and cover poor people living in slums and informal settlements in cities and towns in Bangladesh. Selected NUPRP cities/towns will either be City Corporations and Class A Pourashavas. NUPRP will initially focus on 12 cities/ towns in Phase 1.
NUPRP intends to contribute to more effective inclusive urbanization in Bangladesh. Recognising the complexity of inclusive and climate smart urban development, the expected outcomes of the programme relate to different levels of intervention: national, municipal and the community.
At the national level outcome, the programme aims to ensure that the Government of Bangladesh and actors working in the urban space are more coordinated and strategic in their approach to inclusive and climate smart urban development;
At the municipal level outcome, the programme aims to help municipal authorities more effectively manage inclusive and climate smart urban development. In order to achieve this, the programme will work towards a number of intermediate outcomes:
  • Increased resources available at the municipal level for inclusive, climate smart urban development;
  • More effective deployment of these resources;
  • Greater accountability of municipal authorities to the urban poor.
At the community level outcome, the programme will aim to ensure that urban poor communities are more resilient and empowered to articulate and demand their needs. In order to achieve this, the programme will work towards a number of intermediate outcomes:
  • Urban poor are mobilized and better able to hold municipal authorities to account;
  • Improved security of housing and infrastructure in urban settlements;
  • Improved well-being, security and safety of the urban poor.
This programme will contribute to ensuring a sustainable improvement in the livelihoods and living conditions of poor people living in urban slums/informal settlements in the following five Outputs.
  • Strengthened municipal and national government capacity to deliver pro-poor, climate sensitive, urban development;
  • Strengthened community organization in informal settlements;
  • Improved livelihoods and well-being;
  • Piloting options to improve land tenure and developing low cost housing initiatives; and
  • Climate smart rehabilitation of small scale infrastructure supported.
The ultimate intended beneficiaries of this intervention are the poor and vulnerable urban people, now and in future years. Based on evidence outlined in the previous UPPR reviews and similar types of urban interventions in Bangladesh, the NUPRP reasonably expects a wide range of benefits to result from the interventions at community, municipal and national levels. Given the ever expanding size of the urban centres and the populations that will be linked to employment opportunities, interventions targeting urban poor people should affect overall economic growth, income inequality, employment and the poverty situation.
NUPRP will commence with an Inception Phase (March 2016 – October 2016). It will set the foundations of the launching of the National Urban Poverty Reduction Programme, particularly Phase 1 (months 9-32).12 Cities/Towns will be included in NUPRP Phase 1. NUPRP will run for 6 years from 2016-2022.

Bureau: Africa
Contract Duration: 1 year
Background (i) L'Equipe d'Experts
Le 30 Septembre 2009, le Conseil de Sécurité des Nations Unies a adopté à l'unanimité la résolution 1888, qui se fonde sur les principes et les obligations contenues dans les précédentes résolutions 1325 (2000) et 1820 (2008) du Conseil de sécurité sur Femmes, Paix et Sécurité. La résolution 1888 (2009) reconnaît la nécessité pour les autorités civiles et militaires de faire preuve d'engagement et de volonté politique pour prévenir et répondre aux violences sexuelles liées aux conflits notamment par la lutte contre l'impunité. Elle reconnaît également que le fait de ne pas enquêter et poursuivre les crimes de violences sexuelles peut laisser l'impression que de tels crimes sont tolérés, créant un environnement qui favorise leur risque de répétition. En vertu du paragraphe 8 de la résolution, le Secrétaire-Général a appelé à «définir et prendre les mesures nécessaires pour dépêcher rapidement sur les théâtres d'opérations particulièrement préoccupants en rapport aux violences sexuelles commises en période de conflit, travaillant par le biais des Nations Unies sur le terrain et avec le consentement du gouvernement du pays hôte, une Equipe d'Experts chargée d'aider les autorités nationales à renforcer l'état de droit». L'équipe d'experts sur l'état de droit et les violences sexuelles dans les conflits (TOE / ou « Team ») travaille en étroite collaboration avec les la justice civile et militaire pour appuyer leurs efforts dans la lutte contre l'impunité, notamment en renforçant les capacités nationales, tout en attirant l'attention sur tous les mécanismes de justice à considérer.
(ii) Engagement de l'Equipe en Côte d'Ivoire
Suite à une invitation du Gouvernement de la Côte d'Ivoire, l'Equipe a effectué une mission technique en Côte d'Ivoire du19 au 23 Octobre 2014. Le but de la mission était de discuter et de convenir, avec les entités gouvernementales concernées, en particulier le secteur de la sécurité, des modalités de soutien de leurs efforts dans la lutte contre l'impunité des violences sexuelles liées aux conflits.
Sur la base des résultats de la mission de 2014, il était clair que le gouvernement avait donné la priorité à la question de la lutte contre les violences sexuelles dans le secteur de la sécurité, y compris les FRCI, la police nationale et la gendarmerie. Il est particulièrement intéressant de noter qu'en Juillet 2014, le gouvernement a créé un « Comité d'experts nationaux sur les violences sexuelles liées aux conflits » qui a mis au point un plan d'action. Le Comité est composé des diverses entités clés dans la lutte contre les violences sexuelles, dont ; le ministère de la Défense, le bureau du chef de l'Etat -Major Général des FRCI, la Gendarmerie, la police, etc.
Cependant, il reste un besoin important d'assistance technique pour la police et la gendarmerie afin de répondre aux défis de violence sexuelle, y inclut d'apporter des réponses adéquates aux victimes de violences sexuelles. Pour apporter une assistance au Gouvernement de concert avec les efforts continus de l'ONU dans le pays, l'Equipe d'Experts va déployer un expert, administré par le PNUD. L'expert conseillera et encadrera la police et la gendarmerie, afin de leur permettre de remplir leurs fonctions de manière de réponse aux violences sexuelles. L'Expert accompagnera également le Ministère de la Justice, les Forces Républicaines de la Cote d'Ivoire, etc, dans leurs efforts de lutte contre les violences sexuelles.
Cet appui s'inscrit dans le cadre du soutien continu apporté par l'ONU, en particulier en matière de renforcement de la capacité des institutions du secteur de la justice et l'état de droit en Côte d'Ivoire, afin de répondre efficacement aux violences sexuelles. Il est en ligne droite avec les efforts actuels vers la mise en œuvre de la Stratégie nationale de lutte contre les violences basées sur le genre qui a été officiellement adoptée le 5 Septembre 2014.
Portée du travail: L'expert juridique assistera l'Expert Technique dans la fourniture des conseils aux différentes entités du gouvernement concernées par la question de la lutte contre l'impunité pour les violences sexuelles. Celles-ci comprennent la police et la gendarmerie, le Ministère de la Justice sur les questions des réformes législatives, la Cellule spéciale d'enquête et d'instruction, le Comité d'experts nationaux sur les violences sexuelles concernant leurs efforts de prévention et d'intervention, l'Institut de Formation Judiciaire sur comment inclure la violence sexuelle dans les programmes, etc.
Basé au Bureau: du PNUD en Côte d'Ivoire, l'expert travaillera sous la supervision du Directeur Pays du PNUD, et en étroite collaboration avec le Conseiller pour la protection des femmes de l'ONUCI. L'expert maintiendra un lien avec L'équipe d'Experts sur l'état de droit et les violences sexuelles dans les conflits en ce qui concerne les questions techniques.
