Poste 3 : Rule of Law Officer IPSA 10 Mopti, Mali

Background

UNDP is committed to achieving workforce diversity in terms of gender, nationality and culture. Individuals from minority groups, indigenous groups and persons with disabilities are equally encouraged to apply. All applications will be treated with the strictest confidence.

UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks.

Job Purpose and Organizational Context

Six years after the signing of the Peace and Reconciliation Agreement in 2015, Mali continues to face many security challenges with the emergence of new threats to peace and stability. Insecurity, due to the jihadist invasion that began in the northern regions, has spread to the center of the country with the rise of violent extremism and the radicalization of young people. In addition, the deterioration of the security situation is exacerbated today by inter-community tensions. Insecurity and insurgency subsequently reduced the weak presence of the state in the affected regions leading to a deterioration of the rule of law and negative consequences for the coping capacities and livelihoods of the local population, especially women and young people.

Governance weaknesses are also present in several key state administrations limiting access to public services. Corruption and the accumulation of illicit wealth persist as security and justice gaps have affected public confidence in the justice system as well as the deterioration of the rule of law, which has a negative impact on human rights. Access to justice services by vulnerable people, especially women, remains a challenge. The prisons are overcrowded, the conditions of detention in the prisons do not comply with international standards and the number of detainees in pre-trial detention remains very high.

The Program to Support the Stabilization of Mali by Strengthening the Rule of Law (PROSMED) is part of the implementation of axis 1 of the Strategic Framework for economic recovery and sustainable development of Mali (CREDD 2019-23) relating to the “Consolidation of democracy and improvement of governance” and the Outcomes of axes 1 and 2 of the United Nations Cooperation Framework for Sustainable Development in Mali (UNSDCF 2020- 24). “By 2024, people live in a rule of law, an environment of peace and accountability thanks to strong public institutions, the media and civil society fulfilling their roles and responsibilities for effective and inclusive governance” and “By 2024, populations are resilient in the face of conflict, live reconciled and in harmony in an environment of peace, security and respect for Human Rights and positive cultural traditions”. It directly contributes to achieving outputs 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 of the UNDP Country Program Document (CPD) for the period 2020-24 to outputs 1.1, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 5.1 of the UN Women Strategic Note for the period 2020-24.

It is within this framework that UNDP, UN Women and MINUSMA, in partnership with other agencies of the United Nations system and the key international actors, plan to provide support to the Malian populations to improve their resilience for conflict dynamics and enable them to live in a secure environment that respects the rule of law. This support provides in particular for strengthening peace infrastructures in order to enable the populations to prevent and manage their conflicts while awaiting the return of security and justice services. At the same time, the program will support the effective redeployment of security and justice actors in the locations covered by the program. It will also contribute to restoring people’s confidence in these public authorities by improving their efficiency and accountability. Finally, the program plans to strengthen the efforts of state authorities and civil society in the prevention and fight against corruption and violent extremism.

The objective of PROSMED is to help making “populations less vulnerable to conflict dynamics and live in an environment more conducive to sustainable peace and inclusive development” through the achievement of four (4) outcomes. The issue of gender-based inequalities is dealt in a crosscutting manner and is an integral part of each outcome:

1. The populations benefit from peace infrastructures and mechanisms for the prevention and management of conflicts that are effective, inclusive and accessible to all;
2. Populations, especially women and girls survivors of GBV, regain confidence and have effective access to more representative, effective, accountable and transparent security, justice and human rights services;
3. Corruption within public agencies, and in particular those of security and justice, is reduced thanks to prevention and repression efforts and the strengthening of citizen oversight;
4. Communities are more resilient in the face of rhetoric related to radicalization and violent extremism.

The operational management for the execution of the activities of the joint program will be carried out by a joint program team which will work in close collaboration with the Steering Committee (SC).

The program team will be made up of staff from UNDP, UN Women and MINUSMA. To this end, the various sections of MINUSMA involved in the implementation of this program will appoint focal points who will work jointly with the staff of UNDP and UN Women. The Mopti RoL Officer is responsible for the implementation of the activities of the program in the Central and Northern regions of Mali.

Scope of Work

Under the direct supervision of the PROSMED Project Manager and the secondary supervision of the RoL advisor, the Mopti RoL officer will be responsible for:

• Ensuring the implementation of activities related to the rule of law (security, justice, prevention of violent extremism, fight against corruption) in the central-northern regions of Mali.

Poste 4 : Head of Stabilisation

BACKGROUND

UNDP is committed to achieving workforce diversity in terms of gender, nationality and culture. Individuals from minority groups, indigenous groups and persons with disabilities are equally encouraged to apply. All applications will be treated with the strictest confidence.

UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks.

The year 2020 marked 11thanniversary of the extra-judicial killing of Mohamed Yusuf in police custody in Borno State, Nigeria, and the advent of a new and deadly phase in the evolution of Boko Haram. Since 2015, the Nigerian military has been successfully prosecuting Operation Lafiya Dole, with concerted and coordinated support from the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF), resulting in the gradual opening up and easing of access to previously occupied areas. By March 2018, two main insurgent factions were still active, and continued to wage an insurgency campaign against the government: Jama’atuAhlis Sunna Lidda’awati Wal-Jihad (JAS), a Non-State Armed Group (NSAG), labelled by the media and commonly referred to as “Boko Haram”, operating mainly out of southern Borno State; Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), which split from Boko Haram in 2016, and which is based largely close to Lake Chad itself, and along Nigeria’s northern border with Niger.

Since 2016, ISWAP has differentiated itself from JAS through the development of strategy and tactics that mark it as potentially a more sophisticated and formidable opponent. Unlike JAS, ISWAP seeks to avoid unnecessary violence and exploitation against civilian populations, and has introduced a level of governance, including administration of justice, control of commodities and provision of social welfare An April 2019 Global Initiative for Civil Stabilisation (GICS) report identifies the main success of ISWAP as its ability to effectively appeal to and co-opt local networks, while blending a globalist caliphate messaging with local grievances, competently using it to establish legitimacy in the eyes of local communities.

ISWAP launched a major offensive in January 2019 that has resulted in the overrunning of a number of military bases, large-scale displacement of local populations and an expansion of the territory under ISWAP’s nominal control where the Nigerian government and military are not present. In addition, it is likely that the attacks have increased the insurgents’ capability still further, given the amount of Nigeria Armed Forces (NAF) weapons, ammunition, vehicles and other equipment that are reported to have been lost.

In another reverse, the JAS faction overran and destroyed the refugee town of Rann near the border to Cameroon in January 2019, displacing its inhabitants yet again. Thousands of the Nigerian refugees were forcibly returned by the Cameroonian authorities. In total, Militant attacks in northeastern Nigeria have forced almost 60,000 people to flee since November, the largest number for more than two years, more than half of them as a result of the Rann incident.

Changes in ISWAP tactics, growing concerns of coordination between the ISWAP and JAS factions, and external support from Islamic State and Al Qaeda, and the increased number of violent incidences since the last quarter of 2018, is raising fears that the security situation is once again deteriorating, and that urgent action is required to prevent a significant resurgence of the crisis.

At least 35,000 people have been killed since the inception of the conflict, and UN OCHA ranks the humanitarian emergency as one of the four worst humanitarian crises globally, with 2.4 million people displaced, 5 million food insecure people at crisis and emergency levels, and millions of civilians subjected to extreme hardship. In the four Lake Chad countries, 17.4 million people live in areas affected by the crisis and 10.7 million are in need.

Recent figures indicate 226,000 Nigerian refugees in neighbouring Lake Chad countries, and nearly 2 million people (440,000 women, 364,000 men, 614,000 girls and 516,000 boys) currently internally displaced, 80 per cent of them in Borno State. New waves of displacement occurred in 2018, affecting a weekly average of 4,500 individuals. More than 40 IDP sites across 12 Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Borno State are currently in ‘high congestion’ status resulting in many individuals having no access to shelter and forced to sleep in overcrowded spaces or outside.

Physical insecurity remains a significant challenge in many places. With the absence of effective safety and security at the community level, vigilante groups have until now provided the link between the security agencies and communities, their numbers increasing and roles widening in response to the insurgency, operating without a clear legal framework while providing intelligence, checking civilians, screening internally displaced persons (IDPs) and in some cases resolving local-level disputes

The conflict has also resulted in massive destruction of basic infrastructure, health and educational facilities, commercial buildings, private houses and agricultural assets. In Nigeria, in the three Boko Haram-affected States of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe, the total damage is estimated at USD 8.93 billion with the bulk of the losses (79%) attributed to agriculture (USD 3.7 billion) and private housing (USD 3.32 billion). Damage to private enterprises is also significant at USD 0.9 billion or 10 percent of total damages. Two thirds of health facilities have been damaged. The conflict has also affected access to education with an estimated 1,200 school facilities destroyed, 1500 schools closed for over two years and 952,029 school-age children with no access to education.

The situation facing women and children is particularly dire. Violence against women and girls, including sexual violence, and exposure to trafficking and abduction is widespread but underreported. At least 49,500 girls and boys have been exposed to recruitment by armed groups and other grave child rights violations. Of the women and girls abducted by non-State Armed Groups many are raped, forced into marriage and labour, abused physically, sexually and/or emotionally, exposed to sexually transmitted diseases, and often impregnated by their captors. Anecdotal reports point to women and girls forced into survival sex in order to sustain themselves and their families. A 2016 UNDP livelihoods assessment of 3,500 households in the three states revealed that 23 percent are headed by a woman, highlighting the importance of targeted support to this highly vulnerable population group.

The Nigerian Government launched the Buhari Plan in 2016 as a means to provide a framework for engagement in the Northeast of the country. This framework was followed by the establishment of Operation Safe Corridor to provide rehabilitation and reintegration support to low-risk Boko Haram-associated persons, and, very recently, the May 2019 inauguration of the North-East Development Commission (NEDC) to tackle the root causes of the crisis.

With the support of the African Union and UNDP, the Lake Chad Basin Commission (LCBC) prepared a Regional Strategy for the Stabilization, Recovery and Resilience of the Boko Haram-affected Areas of the Lake Chad Basin, approved by the Member States in August 2018 and endorsed by the AU Peace & Security Council on in December 2018. It seeks to establish a common approach and an inclusive framework for all stakeholders to support a timely, coordinated, and effective transition from stabilization to medium and longer-term recovery, peacebuilding and development processes.

LCBC presented the Strategy at the High-Level Conference on the Lake Chad Region hosted by Germany, Nigeria, Norway, and the UN (OCHA and UNDP) in Berlin, September 2018. The conference marked a new chapter in the new way of working as humanitarian, peacebuilding and development needs were all part of the conference, departing from the strictly humanitarian approach of the previous Oslo conference on Lake Chad. The combined approach was well-received and resulted in an increase in funding for both humanitarian and development interventions.
