Overview of positionNature of the consultancy:
Deliverable Based Consultancy (output-based)
Research, data, consultation and in-person facilitation support to the International Consultant for the gender-sensitive Climate Mobility Needs Assessment and Country Diagnostic for Somalia and for the co-creation and validation of the Climate Mobility Programme for integration into the NDC 3.0 Investment and Implementation Plan, where feasible.
Project Context and Scope:
Background
Recurrent droughts, floods and environmental degradation, combined with fragility and conflict, drive large-scale human mobility and displacement in Somalia. The National Adaptation Plan (NAP 2.0, 2026–2030) and the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC 3.0) both recognise human mobility in the context of climate change as a priority. However, limited consolidated data and institutional capacity make it difficult to turn these commitments into investment-ready interventions, and human mobility is not yet well reflected in the NDC 3.0 Investment Plan 2025–2030 launched by the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MoECC) at COP 30. The MoECC has asked the client to help address this.
This consultancy is part of the client’s Development Fund project “Strengthening Climate Mobility Investment Readiness in Somalia: Advancing NAP and NDC Implementation”, under Output 1.1 (Climate Mobility Needs Assessment and Country Diagnostic) and Output 1.2 (Climate Mobility Programme).
Role objectivesWorking arrangement
The assignment is delivered by two consultants working as one team. The International Consultant (home-based) leads the technical work and presents online at all workshops (unless travel is confirmed). The National Consultant (Somalia-based) starts one month earlier to compile data and map stakeholders, supports the data collection and consultations and organizes and facilitates all workshops and events in person, with logistical support from the client’s project team. All work is carried out with the MoECC and its Inter-Ministerial NDC Taskforce. The client’s Climate Action Department and Regional Climate Action Unit (Nairobi) provide technical support and quality assurance.
Main tasks
Under the supervision of the client and the day-to-day technical guidance of the International Consultant, the National Consultant will:
Data and evidence: compile a literature review and secondary data (climate, socio-economic, displacement and human mobility) from national and international sources, and complete a stakeholder mapping.
Consultations: adapt and translate (English/Somali) the KII/FGD guides developed by the International Consultant, and conduct consultations with government, technical agencies and communities, including women and girls and other vulnerable groups.
Workshops and events: organize and facilitate in person, with logistical support from the client’s project team and the International Consultant presenting online: (i) the inception workshop; (ii) a combined workshop to validate the Country Diagnostic and co-create the Climate Mobility Programme; and (iii) the Programme validation workshop. Provide interpretation, minutes and a consolidated summary of feedback for each.
Coordination with the MoECC: support a climate mobility working group under the existing Inter-Ministerial NDC Taskforce, and liaise with the MoECC to obtain and compile relevant information on the NDC 3.0 Investment and Implementation Plan, where feasible.
