Consultant, Somalia (CARE)

Consultant
CARE
CARE has been working in Somalia since 1981, implementing a varied portfolio of projects across all the regions of Somalia. Our work has since evolved from the emergency response to the needs of persons displaced by the Ogaden war between Somalia and Ethiopia, through reconstruction to the current diverse portfolio of emergency relief and development projects. Current projects are in education, emergency, pastoralism and civil society development. CARE is now actively working in Puntland and Somaliland.
Closing date: 28 Feb 2010
Location: Somalia - Hargeisa

The Underlying Causes of Poverty and Vulnerability Analysis aims at identifying and understanding the root causes of poverty and vulnerability among the selected impact groups in Somaliland. CARE has been working with a number of groups and has some knowledge on their poverty and vulnerability but needs to deepen our understanding in order to design programs that will go beyond symptoms and will address deeper causes of poverty and social injustice. In this context, an in depth, holistic and comprehensive analysis is necessary to provide information on the major underlying causes of poverty, vulnerability and marginalization of the selected impact groups in Somaliland.

The analysis will also help CARE Somalia refine the impact groups by helping us to understand who the different sub-sets of population groups within the groups are and identifying the most vulnerable ones.

Expected deliverables/outcomes
