CALL FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST

Establishing a Regional Mechanism (or Institute) to Provide Sustainable and Ongoing Training in the Pacific on Education Policy and Planning

Introduction: The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Office for the Pacific States in Samoa is seeking expressions of interest from qualified and experienced individuals, teams or organisations to undertake a study regarding the establishment of a regional mechanism (or Institute) to provide sustainable and ongoing training in the Pacific on education policy and planning. The regional mechanism (or Institute) will aim to support Pacific Island countries as they seek to develop sustainable capacity for policy and planning in order to improve the status of education in their countries.

Each Pacific Island country has made commitments towards achieving quality education for all, envisioned in the Pacific Education Development Framework 2009-2015, as well as other international goals such as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the Education for All (EFA) goals by 2015. One of the areas that has long been an obstacle to each country’s effort and a concern to most if not all of the countries in the Pacific is the lack of sustainable capacity on education policies and planning within countries which is exacerbated by the lack of valid and reliable information that is the basis for educational decision making.

The Pacific Islands Forum Education Ministers’ Meeting (October 2010, Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea) endorsed the proposal to carry out a feasibility study in order to address this issue by identifying the best possible options available for developing and sustaining capacity in the region for Education Policy and Planning through the provision of sustainable and ongoing training for relevant education officials from each country.

The objective of this study is in finding a cost effective way of providing sustainable and ongoing training on Education Policy and Planning. The envisaged regional mechanism (or Institute) will address this issue.

UNESCO
ESD Climate change education framework
Expressions of interest are sought to undertake the following:

1. Within the context of UNESCO’s initiative on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) a framework this activity will develop a framework for key educational concepts/learning objectives on climate change and map this to existing curricula in Kiribati.
2. Using the publication “International Technical Guidance on Sexuality Education – Volume II” as a model, UNESCO Apia has developed a modified matrix to be used as the basis of the framework development (available from contact person).
3. The first component of this project is to prepare the framework of concepts/key learning objectives by age group covering main aspects of climate change. Each key concept will be broken down into sub-components which will have a learning objective and key ideas for four age groups, viz. 5-8 years; 9-12 years; 12-15 years and 15-18 years.
4. The second component of this project is to apply the framework to the Kiribati school curriculum years 1-13 and identify subjects and learning strands where each learning objective could be inserted. An integrated approach to climate change is being utilised, so although science subjects are expected to incorporate most of the proposed climate change education initiative, other subjects will also include aspects of climate change. These should be prioritised to guide UNESCO’s future work program for developing education and teaching resources on climate change in Kiribati.
5. In addition to its application in Kiribati for this contract, the Framework will be utilised by teachers and Ministry of Education staff across the Pacific and should be developed specifically for this audience.
6. The materials should be developed in close consultation with the UNESCO Apia Office and the Ministry of Education in Kiribati.
7. The deliverables will be in the form of two Microsoft Word documents, one for each of the components, viz. a framework of concepts/key learning objectives on climate change in the Pacific; and a report on curriculum entry points for climate change education in Kiribati. The draft materials must be submitted to UNESCO no later than 31 May 2011. UNESCO will provide feedback within 10 working days.
8.The final deliverable must be submitted no later than 30 June 2011.
9. This contract expires on 31 July 2011.

Expressions of interest containing a CV, timeline and cost estimate should be received no later than 15 February 2011.

SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC COMMUNITY – SPC:
CONSULTANCY: FISHERIES MANAGEMENT GUIDANCE FOR COMMUNITY
WORKERS
INVITATION FOR PROPOSALS
SPC's Coastal Fisheries Programme (CFP) helps to develop the capacities of member Pacific Island countries and territories to assess, harvest, develop, manage and conserve their marine resources through advice and training by skilled fishers, post-harvest specialists, scientists, managers, aquaculture specialists and planners. CFP supports the sustainable development of the region's fisheries at the artisanal and
small- and medium-scale commercial levels through the provision of assessment, development and management advice, technical assistance, and vocational and scientific training at national and regional levels, as well as the dissemination of relevant information.

CFP in collaboration with NGOs and the LMMA network are producing a series of information sheets to assist community workers when advising communities of appropriate fisheries management options. This guidance is intended to be used in the support and promotion of community-based resource management approaches that are now becoming widespread in the Pacific Islands region. The initial series of information sheets will cover eight finfish families and eight invertebrate families or species (see table below) that are important for both food security and livelihoods and are common across the region.

Finfish families Invertebrate families/species
Serranidae (groupers and rock cods) Holothurians (sea cucumbers)
Siganidae (rabbitfish) Tridacnid clams
Lethrinidae (emperors) Trochus
Scaridae (parrotfish) Mangrove crab
Lutjanidae (reef snappers) Lobsters
Carangidae (trevallies) Coconut crab
Mugilidae (mullet) Octopus
Acanthuridae (surgeonfish) Green snail

CFP will be responsible for the formatting and layout of each information sheet including the provision of fish photos and the production of line diagrams. Each information sheet will be a double sided A4 sheet covering the basic information and advice needed by community workers, which should be explained in plain language and easily understood by persons using English as a second or third language. SPC will also undertake the final editing of the materials before formatting and layout takes place, and will hold the copyright.

Consultancy
This consultancy will be a desk study to provide the text covering the five points below for each of the eight finfish families and eight invertebrate families/species. The text for each sheet should be around
1.5 pages in 11 point Times New Roman font. In addition, sketches of lifecycles will be needed so that SPC can draw these for inclusion in the final sheet.

The basic information needed for each of the 16 families or species will
cover:
a) Basic biology including the number of species in the family and
any substantial differences among them that may affect management advice.
b) Main habitats or locations where they are found or which may be
important in different life cycle stages.
c) Main fishing methods for harvest.
d) The lifecycle of the family/species highlighting any time in the
cycle that they become vulnerable to fishing, or other behaviors that makes them vulnerable to fishing or predisposed to particular management tools.
e) Practical management options that communities can implement to
achieve sustainability - this should also provide warning of any commonly applied management tools that are NOT appropriate.
The consultant(s) will be contracted for around 20 days to complete this work and the ceiling for bids is Euro 10,000.
Submission of proposals:
Interested consultant(s) should submit their proposals as follows:
(i) A statement of methodology (not more than 2 pages) outlining the
competence of the consultant to carry out this work.
(ii) Provide a sample of similar fisheries awareness materials
produced or a 1-2 page template with sketch graphics for one of the above fish families
(iii) A CV of no more than 6 pages for the consultant, or each
consultant.
(iv) A quotation for the cost of the consultancy. This may include a
proposed payment schedule, noting that SPC will not pay more than 50% of fees before acceptance of the final information sheets.

JOB DESCRIPTION
DEPUTY DIRECTOR ? WATER & SANITATION PROGRAMME
APPLIED GEOSCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DIVISION (SOPAC)
Throughout the past nearly 40 years, the SOPAC work programme has attained and demonstrated a reputation for excellence in placing an emphasis on applying scientific and technical knowledge to improving the livelihoods of Pacific people. Initially, the focus was on mineral and hydrocarbon resources assessment in offshore areas. With over 90% of the region being ocean, the economic potential of these resources was, and remains, very large. Today, despite the global economic crisis, there is a well-established, renewed interest in the assessment of seabed mineral resources of many Pacific Islands countries and territories (PICTs). Guidance to PICTS, not only on the scientific and technical aspects of these potential resources but also on establishing sound national policy and regulatory frameworks, is crucial. Furthermore, in this context the surveying and subsequent legal work to complete the establishment and declaration of sovereign maritime boundaries for all PICTS is most
urgent.
The contribution of SOPAC to the scientific and technical, particularly geoscientific and geotechnical, understanding of the underlying root causes of environmental vulnerability remains critical. As vulnerability increases, in particular to climate change and other natural hazards, sound knowledge-based adaptation strategies are needed in the context of coastal and nearshore environments, water and sanitation, and disaster risk reduction. In the generally small communities of PICTs, awareness raising, capacity building, especially at the technical level, and capacity supplementation, particularly at the professional level, will remain important across all the SOPAC work programmes.
The Applied Geoscience and Technology Division is based at SPC?s Suva Regional Office, Fiji Islands, and has approximately 100 staff.

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Leadership, management and technical oversight of the Water & Sanitation Programme (WSP)
? Undertake strategic planning to ensure that the work of WSP meets the needs of member countries and other stakeholders.
? Lead the implementation of the work programme in compliance with the SOPAC Division Strategic Plan 2011?2015, its annual business plans, and the long-term Pacific regional water sector strategies, namely, the Pacific Wastewater Policy Statement and Framework for Action and the Pacific Regional Action Plan on Sustainable Water Management.
? Manage the overall financial resources of WSP and take responsibility for the development and management of its budgets.
? Oversee the recruitment and management of WSP staff.

2. Funding and donor liaison
? Coordinate the development and formulation of significant projects to help deliver strategic plan results and objectives.
? Assist the Director to plan programme funding allocations within the Division and specifically to WSP.
? Ensure that financial and activity reporting is carried out according to agreements.
? Facilitate external monitoring and evaluation of projects as required by donor agencies.

3. Policy/Technical advice and advocacy
? Provide policy and technical advice on water-related issues to member countries.
? Advocate the use of the Pacific regional water sector strategies to guide the preparation of national water sector strategic plans or water and sanitation interventions based on the sustainable development and efficient utilisation of water resources.
? Provide training for and act as resource person in the field of water and sanitation.

4. Regional coordination, partnership and networking
? Maintain awareness of member countries? needs in water and sanitation, and participate in or contribute to the development of Joint Country Strategies.
? Develop and maintain the Pacific Partnership Initiative on Sustainable Water Management and associated Coordination Unit, and ensure the exchange of information on the Initiative to participating partners.
? Foster co-operation and collaboration with national, regional and international organisations, donors and agencies active in the water sector, using the agreed Pacific regional action plans and strategies and their associated implementation mechanisms.

5. Communication of WSP work
? Oversee communication of WSP work to member countries, partner organisations and the general public, including the media.
? Coordinate WSP inputs to divisional publications, such as the SOPAC Division newsletter, annual reports and Pacific Plan reports.
SELECTION CRITERIA
Essential
? Relevant qualification(s) in water resources management, hydro(geo)logy, water supply and sanitation or related fields at university postgraduate (MSc) level.

? Ability to work well in a multi-cultural and gender-sensitive environment.
? Demonstrated ability to take the initiative and work without supervision.

Desirable
? Knowledge and experience in project management training.
? An understanding of water issues in the Pacific region, including the development of stakeholder partner agencies both in-country and within the region, and an understanding of water sector policies, how they fit in with broader country development challenges, and trends in the sector?s environment.
? The ability to integrate inputs from different disciplines to formulate strategies and viable implementation sequences.
