Background: Announced at the Sirte talks in October 2007 the Darfur Community Peace and Stability Fund (DCPSF) is a pooled funding mechanism that seeks to restore trust and confidence among diverse communities that have historically disputed the sharing of scarce assets and resources. Delivered through national and international NGOs and UN agencies, the DCPSF seeks to support activities and processes that draw communities closer together and enable them to resolve the range of issues that have hitherto divided them. To ensure community engagement in often protracted processes of dialogue and consultation, the DCPSF will respond to the material needs of communities be they educational, health, livelihoods or watsan etc. The Darfur Development Strategy (DDS), which emerged from the Doha Document for Peace in Darfur (DDPD) was collectively endorsed by participants at the International Donor Conference for Darfur in April 2013. It lays the foundation for long-term recovery, development, peace and stability in Darfur. The DCPSF will align its programmes to contribute to the DDS and thus support the implementation of the DDPD. The DCPSF is planning to commission discrete pieces of work that complement programming approaches, whilst serving to deepen contextual understanding of what drives conflict in Darfur. In this the DCPSF will work in partnership with civil society, UNAMID, UN agencies, INGOs and specialist for a as the Darfur Dialogue and Consultation process. Through civil society, UN and INGO partners the DCPSF continues to reach across communities (Arab/non Arab, nomadic, farming and IDP, rural/urban), exploring community dispute resolution and processes of reconciliation. A Small Grants Mechanism has been established to systematically strengthen the capacity of CSOs/NGOs and improve operational service delivery. The DCPSF is overseen by a Steering Committee (SC), chaired by the Resident Coordinator. A Technical Secretariat (TS) has been established to facilitate the workings of the DCPSF and shape policy and programming approaches. Scope of the DCPSF Based on empirical evidence the DCPSF is keen to support a wide range of innovative, community-oriented approaches to peace building that may include the following:
The Technical Secretariat of the Darfur Community Peace and Stability Fund is responsible for 1) preparing key policy, planning and prioritization documents for use by the Steering Committee, working groups and end-users; 2) manage programme and project appraisals and providing recommendations for funding allocations to the Steering Committee; 3) undertaking monitoring reviews, 4) providing regular narrative reporting of progress of DCPSF-funded programmes and projects, and 5) fulfilling the secretariat function to the Steering Committee. In line with the Steering Committee decision in February 2012, the Technical Secretariat is housed by UNDP. The Technical Secretariat falls under the supervision of UNDP’s Crisis Prevention and Recovery Unit and will be supported by relevant UNDP programme management support and operation units. Under this overall context, the incumbent will be based in Nyala,El Fasher, and El Geneina and be responsible for monitoring and support to the DCPSF implementing partners projects in South and East Darfur. S/he will be matrix managed: report directly to the M&E officer under the overall guidance of the Head of the Technical Secretariat. |
