(Offre en anglais) Danish Refugee Council (DRC) Lance un appel à consultation pour le développement d’un Manual for Conflict Management Training عودة إلى الفرص

​We are looking for a highly qualified, independent consultant to prepare a manual for trainings on conflict analysis, conflict management, and dialogue aimed at civil society, traders, youth, civil authorities, and security providers in southeast Tunisia. 

​

Who are we? 

Danish Refugee Council (DRC) is an international non-governmental organization, which promotes and supports durable solutions to the problems faced by vulnerable people affected by conflict and instability all over the world.  Danish Demining Group (DDG) is a specialized business unit within DRC that focuses on human security programming.  DDG strives to identify safety and security needs from the perspective of those living with conflict and to help them find non-violent solutions.  These go beyond traditional mine action activities to include Armed Violence Reduction (AVR).  AVR programming seeks to engage communities in developing durable solutions to local safety and security challenges with a holistic grassroots approach.   

DRC/DDG has been working in the region in Libya and Tunisia since 2011.  In 2014, DDG initiated an intervention in border towns in southeast Tunisia to address community security and resilience through violence prevention programming aimed at improving relationships between communities and security providers and mitigating the risks facing local youth.  In 2016, DDG secured funding from the European Commission and the Canadian Government to continue these initiatives.  DDG currently has teams of local staff permanently based in Ben Guerdane and Dhehiba.   

About the job 

The overall purpose of this consultancy will be to produce a manual for trainings on conflict management between local communities and security providers on issues of cross-border trade, border safety, and smuggling of illicit goods.  Specifically, the trainings will seek to develop participants’ awareness of frameworks for understanding and analyzing local-level conflict; and develop participants’ skills of communication, dialogue, and conflict sensitivity. 

Target groups will include:

• communities (civil society, traders, youth)

• civil authorities

• security providers (police and National Guard)

These trainings will serve as the foundation for the trainees to subsequently apply their skills in the context of other DDG activities, such as monthly dialogue forums on issues of community security; and as potential participants in a joint community-security provider committee to conduct conflict analysis and design preventive actions to deescalate violent conflict.

• Produce annexes, where relevant, on adapting the training modules to particular target groups
