1. Overview:

War Child was established more than twenty years ago to fight for the rights of children affected by armed conflict. We are a specialist agency focussing on child protection, psycho-social support, education and family support in acute and protracted crises. Our operations range from psycho-social support to traumatised children in Syria and Iraq, to education for displaced and refugee children in Jordan and South Sudan, to youth justice in Afghanistan and DRC. We have developed our programmes, and our vision, with a strong focus on innovation in response, creativity in fundraising and communications, and a commitment to evidence based solutions and advocacy.

War Child Holland and War Child UK are separate organisations, but have committed to a future of closer collaboration. In an age of escalating conflict and its unprecedented impact on children around the world we believe that an approach which shares resources and expertise will result in better outcomes for the children we work with and allow us to operate at greater scale. This vision is in line with sector trends as NGO families combine their operations for reasons of efficiency, quality and brand consistency.

War Child UK and War Child Holland have agreed a road map that will result in the programme operations of the two organisations being combined under a single line management. There are clear milestones on the way to this destination which will see us develop common standards and policies, establish the mechanisms for sharing resources and technical expertise, developing global branding strategy, and build the systems and governance structures that will manage the merged programme operations. By 2019 we expect to establish an independent entity that will manage programmes for War Child in the region of Euro 50 million per year across 14 of the world’s most conflict affected countries. This role will help us to realise our ambitious vision of a common programmes platform delivering programmes on behalf of an increasing number of War Chid members, under the umbrella of War Child Global.

2. Purpose of Post:

We are seeking a world class manager with the vision and experience to lead War Child Holland and UK on our journey to combined programme operations and the establishment of War Child Global. With the emphasis on integration and collaboration we are defining this role as our Integration Manager. You will have substantial experience of change processes within the INGO sector and be able to drive the transformation at both the strategic and detailed operational level. The role of the Integration Manager involves a high degree of consultation, and the ability to bring a large number of dispersed and diverse colleagues along with the process, so skills in participation, transparency and communication are paramount. It’s a complex and many layered process, so you will need to be able to progress multiple projects and priorities, chart progress against the agreed milestones, and help War Child to judge when we are ready to move on through the various phases of journey. Your success will unlock enormous potential to bring much needed support for children affected by armed conflict.

You will manage the Change Communication Officer, currently envisaged as a 50% role.

Reporting to the two CEOs, the role will require broadly equal amounts of time to be spent in our London and Amsterdam offices, as well as continual consultation with the country teams, and occasional travel to country programmes. You will build the architecture that will transform the organisation: establishing the shared theory of change and standards that will underpin our programmes; designing the planning and reporting systems that will allow the rationale and transparent sharing of resources; developing global branding strategy; ensuring that we have strong finance, HR and grant management systems behind the shared programme delivery; building the governance and organisational structures for the new entity.

Our Integration Manager will be central to the transformation of the organisation. The role presents a unique opportunity for the right candidate to achieve lasting and sustainable change in an institution that is open to doing things differently and to learning lessons from the experience of “family consolidation” elsewhere in the development and humanitarian sector.

3.Job Specification

Over a two-year period, the Integration Manager will lead War Child through three change phases. These phases have been described as the stage camps on a mountain climb. At the end of each phase we need to check that we have achieved the objectives and passed the agreed milestones, and agree together to progress on to the next stage. These need to be presented to the boards of both organisations.

Phase One: Initiation

During Phase One the Integration Manager will be responsible for ensuring that we progress the development of shared standards and ways of working. This will be done through the convening of a virtual “collaboration hub” which will bring together colleagues from across the organisation to establish these common approaches, including:

· A shared Theory of Change

· Common planning and reporting processes, including the way in which we present reach and results and invest unrestricted funding in our country programmes

· Shared operational standards, including a common approach to security management

· Shared technical standards for our core interventions

· A common framework for Research and Development, and for Knowledge Management

· A global branding strategy

· A joined-up approach to Global Advocacy

· A strategy for IT convergence

Phase Two: Integrating Systems

During Phase Two the Integration Manager will be responsible for ensuring that the systems that will underpin the shared programmes platform are established. These will include HR and Finance systems, as well as a shared IT system. Crucial during this phase will be the development of a grants management system that will meet the requirements of both the members and the programmes delivery platform. The Integration Manager will also ensure that we have a coherent approach to brand management throughout the change process and as we establish the new entity. And crucial during this phase will be the development of a common MEAL system that ensures a consistent approach to data management, project monitoring and accountability.

During this phase the Integration Manager will also ensure that we develop a set of policies that will back up the systems that are developed for the new organisations.

The Integration Manager will work with the part time Strategy Manager to ensure the development of a Global Strategy for War Child Global.

Phase Three: Shared Programme

During this final phase, we establish and launch the independent entity of the shared programme platform. The Integration Manager will ensure that the structure of the new entity is fit for purpose, and that it relates effectively to the functions and systems of the members. S/he will oversee the process by which positions within the existing War Child members are mapped and migrated over the War Child Global structure. The smooth transition of contracts and of award (grant) management is a crucial responsibility during this phase.

The Integration Manager will ensure that the legal and compliance requirements of the new entity are in place, and this includes the legal status and registration of the War Child country offices as they migrate to the management of War Child Global.

This phase will also establish the working and communications protocols that will ensure the effective functioning of the virtual management model on which the shared programmes platform will be based

4.Person Specification

1.Contexte

La problématique des enfants soldats est particulièrement importante en RDC pour plusieurs raisons.

Historiquement, le régime de Joseph Mobutu a été déchu et remplacé en 1997 par Laurent Désiré Kabila et son Alliance des Forces Démocratiques pour la Libération du Congo (AFDL), qui recourait intensivement et ouvertement aux enfants soldats, appelés « kadogos ». Cette présence importante d’enfants dans les forces et groupes armés de la RDC a continuée pendant la guerre de 1198 ou certains groupes armés avaient jusqu’à 40% d’enfants dans leurs troupes ; en 2000, les Nations-Unies estimaient ainsi que plus de 80,000 enfants soldats étaient actifs en RDC –soit plus d’un quart des 300,000 enfants à travers le monde, et que près de 15% des rangs FARDC étaient composés de mineurs.

Après la signature de l’accord de paix de Sun City, un mouvement d’intégration d’anciens rebelles dans les FARDC a commencé, avec pour but de remettre ces chefs de guerre dans le circuit et la chaine de commandement officielle de l’armée, et apporter les bases d’une stabilité durable. Ceci, parfois au détriment de la lutte contre l’impunité, notamment de chefs rebelles accusés d’avoir recruté des enfants soldats sans que cela n’ait d’incidence sur leur processus d’intégration au sein des FARDC.

Si ce processus politique d’intégration ne tenait pas compte des éventuelles responsabilités en matière de recrutement, la problématique des enfants soldats a rapidement été abordée sous l’angle de la réintégration, avec des travaux de définition de standards de désarmement, démobilisation et réintégration (DDR) lancés par l’Inter Agency Working Group (IAWG) entre 2004 et 2006[1]. Ces activités de DDR, menées dès 2004 par la Commission Nationale de Désarmement, Démobilisation et Réinsertion (CONADER), furent progressivement reprises par UNICEF dès 2007. Cet angle de la réintégration ne tenait cependant que peu compte de l’aspect prévention des recrutements.

En 2012, le gouvernement congolais a signé avec la MONUSCO et UNICEF un plan d’action pour lutter contre les recrutements d’enfants dans les forces armées. Ce plan prévoit, entre autres, une procédure de « screening » au moment de l’enregistrement de nouvelles recrues dans la base de données FARDC et de la prise de leurs empreintes biométriques. Ce plan d’action a permis de considérablement réduire la prévalence d’enfants au sein des FARDC, puisqu’aucun nouveau recrutement n’a été enregistré en 2015.

Cependant, les groupes armés encore actifs à l’Est, tels que les FDLR, Raias Mutombokis et Nyatura, continuent à avoir recours aux enfants dans des fonctions combattantes et non combattantes de manière massive. Le manque d’actions de prévention menées au niveau des communautés ne permet donc pas de réduire la prévalence des recrutements, tandis que des montants importants sont en parallèle investis dans le DDR, donnant l’impression d’un circuit clos s’autoalimentant.

Le procès historique de Thomas Lubanga devant la Cour Pénale Internationale, en faisant le premier individu à être condamné par une juridiction internationale pour le crime de recrutement d’enfants, est un symbole isolé dans un océan d’impunité qui ne saurait en l’état jouer un réel rôle déterrent.

Il faut enfin noter que les programmes DDR mis en œuvre par UNICEF ont eu un impact limité sur la vie des anciens combattants, et ne sont pas toujours parvenus à leur offrir des perspectives durables[2] dans la société civile leur permettant de définitivement tourner la page des groupes armés.

Ces éléments, ainsi que le caractère rebelle, et donc en marge des lois et règlements nationaux, des groupes armés encore responsables de recrutement, exposent les limites de l’approche réactive basée sur l’assistance à la réintégration des anciens enfants soldats après identification par screening adoptée actuellement. Ils renforcent en même temps la nécessité d’aborder la question des recrutements sous l’angle sous-exploité de la prévention.

2.Objectifs et portée

War Child UK et War Child Holland travaillent en étroite collaboration avec les communautés locales du Nord et du Sud Kivu, deux provinces particulièrement touchés par la problématique des recrutements d’enfants. Pour tenir compte des défis posés par ces recrutements par les groupes armés rebelles, ces organisations souhaitent œuvrer dans la prévention communautaire et sociale, en réduisant les causes poussant les enfants dans les bras des recruteurs ou retenant les enfants permettant d’élaborer une stratégie de prévention.

La question primaire de la recherche est la suivante :

Existent – il chez l’enfant et dans son environnement social, des facteurs qui poussent les enfants et adolescents à joindre volontairement des groupes armées ou des facteurs qui les retiennent de les joindre et qui sont susceptible à être influencé à travers des campagnes de sensibilisation ciblées, un appui ciblé de protection, psycho-social où par toute autre action permettant la prévention communautaire efficace de leur recrutement.

Autre possibilité de formulation plus large : quelles sont les principales causes de recrutement volontaire chez les enfants et jeunes des communautés rurales ? Lesquelles de ces causes ont été les deux (ou trois) plus déterminantes dans la prise de décision des enfants ?

Les enfants qui ont été recrutés de force par les groupes armés ne sont pas ciblé par cet enquête. Néanmoins une comparaison entre ces deux groupes d’enfants permettra d’identifier l’impact des facteurs spécifiques qui influencent la participation spontanées des enfants aux groupes armées.

L’étude pourra également clarifier l’ampleur de la participation volontaire par rapport au recrutement forcé.

Dans la littérature déjà reçu par le siège, j’ai pu comprendre que la distinction entre recrutement forcé et volontaire est parfois plus une question d’interprétation du contexte. Selon certains textes le recrutement volontaire n’est qu’illusion.

Il me semble important ainsi dans cet étude, d’avoir une réponse là-dessus, pour ne pas rester avec comme conclusion que le recrutement volontaire n’existe pas. Puis, j’en suis sûr, qu’il y aura des déterminants à isoler qui se clarifie lorsqu’on isole le variable pour certains aspects lié au recrutement forcé. Mais, à vrai dire, ceci est plus une matière à trancher par un expert expérimenté.

3.Méthodologie

Les candidats à la consultance devront préciser la méthodologie utilisée pour l’étude dans leur soumission de proposition.

Néanmoins les standards minimales et étapes suivantes sont proposés :

a.Revue documentaire

On effet, on doit appliquer une procédure d’achat de service. Je propose d’appliquer une procédure négociée avec publication. Ceci permet à une stade ultérieur de négocier pour autant que cela ne change pas l’essentiel du marché.

Ceci permet aux experts du siège de nos deux WCH à négocier la technicité de l’étude et de peaufiner les TOR après la réception des offres et d’entamer la négociation uniquement avec deux ou trois consultants qui ont introduits les offres les plus intéressants (prix qualité de méthodologie proposé).

Proposer de fournir le transport et le logement local a l’avantage de ne pas perdre le temps dans l’interprétation des prix proposés par les consultants pour ces couts qui peuvent être dans les offres exorbitant ou même sous-estimés. Puis on pourra les imputer également sur certains budgets existants, diminuant ainsi le prix de la consultance. Sinon, on devrait demander un prix forfaitaire qu’on négociera (mais je le trouve une perte de temps et difficile à faire également avec tous les imprévus de la RDC sur le plan log).

War Child is striving for a world where children’s lives are no longer torn apart by war.

We are the only specialist charity for children in conflict, working with partners to deliver high-impact programmes that are rebuilding lives across Afghanistan, Iraq, Jordan, Yemen, Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Central African Republic. We understand children’s needs, respect their rights, and put them at the centre of the solution - from supporting Syrian children to access education, to reintegrating child soldiers in the Central African Republic and working on juvenile justice in Afghanistan.

Overview

The Policy & Advocacy team at War Child is part of the rapidly growing Advocacy and Communications team. The Policy & Advocacy team is responsible for developing and implementing strategies designed to ensure that:

• the rights and needs of children who have been forced to flee are properly upheld and met;

• international humanitarian law is upheld, children are not deliberately targeted in warzones, and that such conflicts are brought to an end. At present this involves a particular focus on the conflicts in Syria and Yemen.

We are recruiting for two roles (Policy & Advocacy Adviser – Child Rights & Protection and Policy & Advocacy Adviser – Conflict and Humanitarian) to focus on each of these two areas, who will also provide support to each other at times of workload surges. Both roles will have the opportunity to lead and shape their own strategies with the Head of Policy & Advocacy, as well as provide support to the other.

Purpose of the roles

Both roles are critical in ensuring that War Child is successful in delivering against one of its major strategic priorities – advocating for change on behalf of children whose lives have been torn apart by war. They will involve significant external engagement, developing extensive relationships with decision-makers, high-level influencers, and individuals across the sector. The roles will act as a major external ‘face’ for the organisation, helping to develop War Child’s reputation as a bold organisation with the expertise and clout to influence political and policy change to benefit the millions of children caught up in conflict worldwide.

Person Specification

War Child’s office is a lively and fast-paced environment made up of a team of extremely dedicated staff. We’re looking for two people who can fit in well and bring their personality, creativity and professionalism to our policy and advocacy work and the wider charity.

Successful candidates will have significant experience of working on both policy research and analysis, as well as advocating for the implementation of these policies by decision-makers. The Policy & Advocacy Adviser – Child Rights & Protection will have experience working on issues relating to child rights and protection, ideally in the humanitarian and international development area. The Policy & Advocacy Adviser – Conflict and Humanitarian will have experience relating to conflict, humanitarian intervention and international development, and a demonstrable understanding of, and detailed expertise in, the conflicts taking place across the Middle East.

You are proactive, building relationships with key decision-makers and influencers who have the capacity to affect change, as well as developing a strong network of contacts across the humanitarian and development sector

You are inquisitive, keeping up-to-date with the news agenda and ensuring that our policy priorities are constantly up-to-date and informed by evidence, and capable of responding to the rapidly changing international and national environment.

You are passionate, concerned at the fate of children who are targeted and caught up in violent conflicts. Respect for their rights, and recognition of their particular needs, will lie at the heart of all that you do. And your work will always consider the rights of children to have a say in the decisions that affect their lives, ensuring that the voices of children inform the policies that we develop, and are heard in the advocacy tactics that we deploy.

You are a critical thinker, mining down into the complexities of an issue to develop robust and well-considered policy recommendations.

You are a great communicator, confident in speaking to a range of audiences, unintimidated by advocating towards those in positions of power, and capable of tailoring your style accordingly.

You are great under pressure, able to juggle multiple tasks and manage heavy workloads whilst simultaneously maintaining a positive attitude, and contributing to a positive working environment.

We aim to reach children early in the conflict cycle and stay to support them through their recovery, providing education and protection services and building longer-term livelihood opportunities. We support children to deal with the traumas of armed conflict, equipping them with the skills and knowledge to go back to school, and providing training to young people so they can support themselves

We believe that children and young people know what matters to them and that their voices and demands should be heard – we work with them to build their confidence as advocates and to mobilise others to take action in support of them. Through standing by these principles War Child plays a unique role in helping children and young people to overcome the devastating impact of conflict.

Overview:

The Policy & Advocacy team at War Child is part of the rapidly growing Advocacy and Communications team. The Policy & Advocacy team is responsible for developing and implementing strategies designed to ensure that:

· the rights and needs of children who have been forced to flee are properly upheld and met;

· international humanitarian law is upheld, children are not deliberately targeted in warzones, and that such conflicts are brought to an end. At present this involves a particular focus on the conflicts in Syria and Yemen.

We are recruiting for two roles to focus on each of these two areas, who will also provide support to each other at times of workload surges. However, it will take time to recruit to these roles, leaving a capacity gap that needs to be filled to ensure that progress is made on our two priority advocacy areas. We are therefore looking to recruit a short-term Policy & Advocacy Adviser to cover this gap. Both roles will have the opportunity to lead and shape their own strategies with the Head of Policy & Advocacy, as well as provide support to the other.

Purpose of Post:

Working with the support of the Head of Policy & Advocacy, this role will lead War Child’s work to finalise its strategies to deliver change against our two priority areas of focus: ensuring that the rights and needs of children who have been forced to flee are met, and to ensure that IHL is upheld in warzones, that children are not deliberately targeted, and that such conflicts are brought to an end. This will involve a particular focus on Yemen and Syria.

This role is critical in ensuring that War Child is well placed to deliver against the advocacy objectives that it has identified as organisational priorities, and establish the organisation as a well-respected and impactful force for change. It will involve significant external engagement, developing extensive relationships with decision-makers, high-level influencers, and individuals across the sector. The role will act as a major external ‘face’ for the organisation, helping to develop War Child’s reputation as a bold organisation with the expertise and clout to influence political and policy change to benefit the millions of children caught up in conflict worldwide.

Job Specification -Tasks and Responsibilities:

· Developing an in-depth understanding of international humanitarian law, the dynamics of conflicts in areas where War Child is operating, and the extent and means by which IHL is being broken

· Developing an in-depth understanding of the rights and needs of children who have been forced to flee by conflict, the scale of the challenge, and what needs to be done by whom to address these needs

· Commissioning and conducting high quality and research and policy analysis to support and evidence War Child’s advocacy priorities and enhance our credibility and impact

· Developing advocacy strategies that identify those with the power to implement our policy recommendations - and those who can influence decision-makers – and deploy tactics that have the best chance of influencing them to support our advocacy objectives

· Liaising with our in-country teams and Programmes Department, develop policy recommendations that build on War Child’s understanding of particular conflicts and draw on our field expertise

• Working closely with the Press and PR team to ensure that media strategies are developed that best further our policy and advocacy objectives, with occasional opportunities to speak directly to the media

· Working closely with the digital communications and campaigns team to develop digital campaign strategies that leverage the voice of War Child supporters to further our policy and advocacy objectives

· Building relationships at multiple levels with decision-makers and influencers in government, parliament, the UN and the media to convey our priority advocacy messages and establish War Child’s reputation as a major player – both as an expert on policy, and as an impactful advocate for change on behalf of children in conflict

· Representing War Child at a high level as required, at meetings, events, roundtables etc – with Ministers, parliamentarians, senior UN leaders and high profile journalists – and building our reputation in the sector through developing an extensive network of contacts.

· Ensuring that our policy and advocacy is informed by and profiles the voices of the children and young people that we work with

Person Specification:

War Child’s office is a lively and fast-paced environment made up of a team of extremely dedicated staff. We’re looking for someone who can fit in well and bring their personality, creativity and professionalism to our policy and advocacy work and the wider charity.

You will have significant experience of working on both policy research and analysis, as well as advocating for the implementation of these policies by decision-makers.

And your work will always consider the rights of children to have a say in the decisions that affect their lives, ensuring that the voices of children inform the policies that we develop, and are heard in the advocacy tactics that we deploy.

Background

War Child works with children who, as a result of conflict, live with a combination of poverty, exclusion and insecurity.

Our mission is to support and improve the care and protection of children and young people who live with a combination of insecurity, poverty and exclusion in some of the worse conflict-affected places. We look forward to a world in which the lives of children are no longer torn apart by war. This is a vision that can only be realised through the collective actions of children themselves, communities and their leaders, organisations like War Child, governments and key decision makers.

In Jordan, War Child has been working to provide child protection, education and psychosocial support programmes for Syrian and Jordanian children and families since early 2013. We are present in Za’atari Camp, Mafraq, Zarqa and Amman, with a view to further expansion into other geographical areas, as well as thematic areas such as livelihoods.
