Работа но Тонга от всемирного банка для IT-шников:
World Bank Tonga-Fiji Connectivity Project (Phase 1)
Ministry of Information & Communications,
Nuku'alofa, Tonga
Terms of Reference (TOR)
Marketing and Promotional Specialist (Telecommunications and ICT)
A.Background.
1. Tonga’s relative isolation and other constraints to economic development may be mitigated in part by improved access to and more affordable telecommunications, especially high-speed (broadband) Internet which has become essential for the functioning of modern economies worldwide. Broadband Internet offers new economic opportunities domestically, as well as connections to larger markets, and new avenues for delivery of services, nationally and internationally.
2. The principal constraint to further telecommunications development—including new private investment and market entry—has been identified by all stakeholders as the limited capacity and high cost of international bandwidth. This is due to Tonga’s dependence on satellite connectivity which is inadequate to meet growing demand for bandwidth and also very costly by international standards. Total demand for bandwidth is projected to increase from the current level of about 22 Mbps up to 1.243 Gbps by 2032, driven primarily by increased demand for fixed and mobile broadband.[1]
3.The Government and telecommunications industry in Tonga considered several options to improve access and to reduce the cost of international connectivity. The option to invest in a new submarine fibre-optic cable to the Southern Cross Cable Network (SCCN) in Fiji was selected. This project will not only increase the available bandwidth for Tonga, but is also expected to reduce international bandwidth costs by at least 60 percent. The Tonga-Fiji cable is expected to provide substantially higher capacity than through existing satellite links, and to reduce international bandwidth costs from their present level of about $3,500 per megabit per month to US$350-400 per megabit per month, based on current bandwidth prices in Fiji, and possibly lower. Given the Government’s keen interest to realize the benefits of ICT for the country’s development, the Tonga-Fiji Connectivity Project (Project), jointly funded by the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank, is the first phase in the Pacific Regional Connectivity Program (PRCP).

Project Objectives
4.The Project will support the construction of a submarine fibre-optic cable connection from Tonga to Fiji, thereby connecting Tonga to the global telecommunications network. The Project will meet Tonga’s immediate and medium-term demand for connectivity (bandwidth), and facilitate communications, trade and services with its neighbors and larger regional markets.
5.Specifically, the proposed Project will aim to improve the enabling environment for telecommunications and ICT in Tonga—including greater competition and increased access to infrastructure and services by reducing the costs of international connectivity and strengthening the telecommunications regulatory framework. Access to the capacity on this infrastructure will be available on an open-access basis. Expected sector-specific outcomes are: (a) increased volume of international, regional, and national traffic and, (b) decreases in the average price of international, regional, and national communications.
Project Components
6. There are three (3) components under the Project. These include:
Component 1. Submarine Cable System. This component is financing the construction of an 827 km repeater cable linking Nuku’alofa (Tonga) with Suva (Fiji) plus a landing station in Tonga. The cost includes cable materials, marine survey and laying costs, and cable equipment. In Fiji, the cable will be connected to the existing SCCN landing station in Suva. The Southern Cross Cable connects Fiji with Australia and the US (Hawaii), and is owned by a consortium of operators. The cable is currently being manufactured and cable-laying is expected to commence in the first quarter of 2013.
Component 2. Enabling environment. This component is financing technical assistance for (i) telecommunications policy, legal and regulatory development, and on the legal and regulatory environment for Internet and e-transactions; and (ii) regulatory capacity building.
Component 3. Project administration. This component is providing technical assistance in the form of administrative support to Tonga Cable Ltd(TCL) and to the Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC) in the areas of project management, procurement, financial management, communications and audit.
Scope of work
7*Through the support of the World Bank, the Ministry of Information and Communications in collaboration with the ICT industry, would like to undertake a robust public relations campaign to enhance the visibility of the Project to consumers (individuals and institutions), potential investors (within Tonga and abroad), Internet service providers (ISPs) and other relevant key stakeholders. A Marketing Specialist is being sought to assist in preparing a Marketing Strategy for Tonga as an ICT destination, a consumer awareness campaign and to ensure the project has the full impact on the direct beneficiaries in Tonga highlighted and promoted.
8*The position is planned to commence in mid-end February 2013. The position’s tasks will include:
Developing comprehensive 2 year outreach and marketing strategy and plan
Developing campaign and promotional materials to market broadband internet to consumers in Tonga (including slogan and branding)
Market and promote Tonga to external audiences in other countries as a technological destination (for example, for IT enabled businesses such as call-centres)
Organize an ICT day in Tonga
Source advertising opportunities and placing adverts in the press, radio, billboards, mobile phones
Manage the production of marketing materials, including leaflets, posters, flyers

Manage the production of multimedia products (short films) as part of ad campaign;
Liaising with designers and printers;
Arrange for the effective distribution of marketing materials;
Manage budgets;
Evaluate marketing campaign and recommend improvements/adjustments as needed.
Outputs
9*It is envisioned that the Marketing Specialist will support the increased take-up of high-speed internet across Tonga, with an initial focus onTongatapu. Specific activities to achieve this goal will include developing an effective, comprehensive strategy for outreach alongside international marketing plans, with anticipated completion of these plans in the first four weeks.
10*It is envisaged that by early April 2013 the campaign will be in full swing, with media outreach and publicity across Tongatapu – reaching all major local and national newspapers, radio outlets and TV stations. Prior to the cable landing in Tonga in July 2013, ICT outreach events will be organized across Tongatapu reaching most of the community, including one national ICT day supported by the full range of marketing and promotional materials (posters, fliers etc) developed and disseminated, with adverts placed for promotion to Tongan overseas.
11*In July, the Marketing Specialist will promote the physical laying of the cable and use this as an opportunity to promote Tonga as a digital destination, reaching national and international media.

Request for Expression of Interest EOI: 13/22
Consultancy for the Preparation of a Climate Change and Climate Risk Communications Plan for the Government of Kiribati
The Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) seeks to engage a communications consultant to: consult with key stakeholders and prepare a Kiribati Climate Change and Climate Risk Communications Plan. The consultancy is expected to prepare a framework that will eventually result in enhanced understanding of climate change and climate disaster risk reduction and the impacts amongst all stakeholders; enhance relationships among faith based organizations, schools, bon-governmental organisations ( NGOs), and communities to support their climate change awareness initiatives; maintain a high profile of government’s climate change initiatives; and strengthen communication capacity and procedures across government departments regarding disclosure and access of climate change related information. It is anticipated that this 38-day consultancy will deliver core deliverables over the two month period April to June 2013.
Expressions of interest are invited from interested parties by 4pm Fiji time on 31st March 2013. Details for submission of your expression of interest can be downloaded at http://www.spc.int/en/on-going-tenders.html - Consultancy for the Preparation of a Climate Change and Climate Risk Communications Plan for the Government of Kiribati (EOI: 13/22).
Background
Kiribati is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world to the effects of climate change including sea level rise and must act effectively to minimise the impacts to its people. With its high population density (especially in South Tarawa), accelerated development and increasing environmental degradation, Kiribati is especially at risk from the added effects of climate change and climate variability. The islands of Kiribati are exposed to periodic storm surges and droughts, particularly during La Niña years, although they lie outside the cyclone path.
Whilst Kiribati has been actively engaged in addressing climate change for several years, there is no endorsed framework for climate change communication. There is however a Kiribati Government Communications and Access to Information Strategy (CATIS) which provides the framework for this present consultancy. The objective of CATIS is to improve the transparency and responsiveness of the Government of Kiribati and it is implemented by the Office of the President through its Communications Unit. CATIS provides the framework for the preparation of communications plans for specific issues such as climate change. During discussions between the government of Kiribati and the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) and non-governmental organizations in 2012, the need for a climate change communication plan became an immediate issue. A formal request for assistance with the preparation of a Climate Change and Climate Risk Communications Plan was submitted to the Secretariat of the Pacific Community Global Climate Change Alliance: Pacific Small Island States (GCCA: PSIS) project in February 2013.
SPC is assisting with the development of a Climate Change and Climate Risk Communications Plan for Kiribati, through the GCCA: PSIS project funded by European Union (EU) and implemented by the SPC through the organisation’s one-team approach. The overall objective of the SPC GCCA: PSIS is to support the governments of nine smaller Pacific Island states, namely Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Tonga and Tuvalu, in their efforts to tackle the adverse effects of climate change. The purpose of the project is to promote long-term strategies and approaches to adaptation planning and pave the way for more effective and coordinated aid delivery to address climate change at the national and regional level.
The preparation of a Climate Change and Climate Risk Communications Plan for Kiribati will build climate change resilience by improving the understanding of climate change impacts and climate disaster risk reduction measures by all I-Kiribati, thereby helping them make informed decisions and change their behaviour as part of a national climate change process.
Specific Activities of the Consultant

For more information, visit www.spc.int.
In applying, candidates should be guided by SPC's vision, mission and corporate values, the role and profile of the position and the key result areas and selection criteria.
SPC's vision for the region is a secure and prosperous Pacific Community, whose people are educated and healthy and manage their resources in an economically, environmentally and socially sustainable way.
Our mission is to help Pacific Island people position themselves to respond effectively to the challenges they face and make informed decisions about their future and the future they leave for the generations that follow.
Our corporate values are underpinned by the principle of 'making a positive difference in the lives of Pacific Island people - putting people first'. They include accountability, integrity, respect, transparency, sustainability, people-centredness, gender equality and cultural sensitivity.
The Applied Geoscience and Technology Division was established when the former Pacific Islands Applied Geoscience Commission (SOPAC) was integrated with SPC in January 2011. It has three technical work programmes: Ocean and Islands, Water and Sanitation and Disaster Reduction. Its services to SPC's members include assessments of the potential of ocean and onshore mineral resources, maritime boundary data collection, coastal protection and management, geo-hazard assessment, water, wastewater, sanitation, disaster risk management, mapping and surveying (including GIS and remote sensing) and natural resources economics. The division's work provides guidance on scientific and technical aspects of the region's seabed mineral resources; supports development of national policy and regulatory frameworks; and contributes to geoscientific and geotechnical understanding of the underlying causes of environmental vulnerability in the region. Its work also focuses on developing knowledge-based adaptation strategies for coastal and nearshore environments, water and sanitation, and disaster risk reduction and awareness raising, technical capacity building and capacity supplementation. The division seeks to maintain a reputation for excellence as the region's principal provider of geoscientific services. It has a team of around 100 staff of which 38 are recruited internationally and 32 are technical staff.
The Ocean and Islands Programme offers a range of specialist technical capacities, skills and tools to support the needs and environments of Pacific Island countries and territories to improve decision-making and policy development regarding marine, coastal and island resource use and applied science issues. It delivers services through: (i) direct capacity supplementation; (ii) partnerships with Pacific Island governments and agencies; and (iii) multidisciplinary approaches to deliver end-to-end services or to fulfill a portion of a broader programme or project of work. Its technical work involves: collection of baseline, oceanographic, geophysical and geodetic data; geological and geomorphologic assessment; environmental baselines, i.e. marine ecosystem habitat mapping; modelling hydrodynamic processes; and sea level and shoreline monitoring. It also contributes substantially to data collection, support and technical assessment in the area of vulnerability reduction and climate change adaptation.

THE WORLD BANK
Implementation Support Specialist
Timor-Leste, Papua New Guinea, and Pacific Islands Department
The World Bank, Sydney is currently looking for an experienced development professional to provide support to implementation agencies in executing World Bank-financed projects. S/he will facilitate the design and establishment of implementation arrangements and assist implementing agencies in overall project management, compliance with Bank requirements and preparation of project documentation.
This is a one-year extended term consultant (ETC) position with a possibility of renewal for one more year subject to performance and work requirements. The successful applicant is expected to travel to any of the countries covered by the Pacific Department with 2/3 of the time spent in the field. This includes 3 to 4 months in countries with larger, more complex operations and where the Bank has more limited implementation support presence such as in Solomon Islands, Kiribati, Samoa and Tonga.
Background/General description
The World Bank’s Pacific department (EACNF) covers twelve countries (Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Timor-Leste, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu) and is home to more fragile and conflict-affected states than any other region outside of Africa. Over the past few years, the Bank has substantially scaled-up its program and field presence in the Pacific, with a focus on initiatives that address the challenges of fragility, isolation, size and limited capacity, and create a foothold for wider development engagement with emphasis on country-specific strategies along three axes: (i) encouraging regional/global integration; (ii) building resilience against external shocks; and (iii) promoting economic reform and private sector development.
Total new Bank commitments to the Pacific in FY12 (including both IDA and trust funds) amounted to slightly over $116m, the highest annual level ever, and commitments of over $200m over the past 4 years are more than total cumulative commitments prior to the beginning of IDA15.
This large and rapid increase in size of the Pacific Department’s portfolio in a fragile and capacity-constrained environment means that managing the portfolio requires additional support to client countries. With support from the Korean Economic and Peace Building Transitions Trust Fund, the Bank is piloting and documenting innovative approaches that address development projects implementation challenges in Fragile and Small States. The Pacific department aims to capture and disseminate the outcomes and lessons of these initiatives to promote a more comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of fragility, remoteness and size, and develop effective strategic and operational approaches to help build national capacity. Therefore, the Department is seeking to hire an Extended-Term Consultant to work closely with client countries to support them in implementing Bank projects.
The Specialist will report to the Pacific Department Portfolio and Operations Manager who, jointly with the Department’s Operations team such as Procurement, Financial Management and Legal, will design quarterly work programs.

Duties and Accountabilities
• Facilitate the design and establishment of implementation arrangements (including, as necessary, the initial set-up of Project Implementation Units).
• In close consultation with the Task Team Leader and appropriate team members of each project:
o Assist implementing agencies on overall project management and implementation.
o Assist implementing agencies in the preparation of procurement plans, bidding documents and providing overall advice on compliance with World Bank procurement policies including the development of contract management and project filing procedures.
o Advise implementation agencies on compliance with Bank Financial Management requirements including the preparation of Interim Financial Reports and the contracting and submission of project audits.
o Assist the implementing agency in the preparation of documentation required to support project restructuring / completion / evaluation / additional financing.
o Monitor and report on remedial actions which task teams have developed to address project problems and on risk mitigation measures incorporated into the project.
• Pilot innovative approaches to implementation and link implementing units to broader Bank knowledge in procurement and financial management.
• Document periodically, in writing, key lessons learned during project implementation in the Pacific and innovative approaches which the Bank can extend to other low capacity countries.
Selection criteria
• Master’s degree in engineering, economics, business administration, finance or other field related to the management of large development projects;
• At least five years of combined experience in the World Bank, other international institutions/ /or government in the implementation of donor-funded development projects;
• Solid track record in developing and nurturing close working relationships with development projects implementation units;
• Drive for results, curiosity, creativity and ability to think innovatively;
• High level of energy, initiative and flexibility in quickly adjusting to changing work program requirements; and
• Excellent oral and written communication skills, in particular ability to effectively dialogue with and relate to clients and stakeholders

TERMS OF REFERENCE

International Consultant on Media Self-regulation Mechanisms

Country: Fiji
Project name: International Consultant on Media Self-regulation Mechanisms
Period of assignment/services: 20days between October and November 2013
Duty Station: Home Based

1. BACKGOUND
Media in Pacific Island countries face varying degrees of enabling policy and legislative environments. Common across the Pacific region are concerns over the quality of media reporting and the absence of common media standards and enforcement mechanisms with regards to journalism ethics and standards. These concerns are largely shared by media representatives themselves. Simultaneously, there is an increasing number of voices in the region that call for tighter regulation of the media. There is thus a risk that without functioning self-regulation mechanisms and adherence to journalism standards, Pacific media will be facing an increasingly restrictive legislative environment.

National self-regulation mechanisms to enforce media standards are non-existent currently, although efforts by development partners are underway and are likely to gain a foothold in some Pacific Island countries. At the same time, a number of media outlets across the Pacific have expressed their support for a regional media self-regulation mechanism to establish and enhance the adherence to media standards across the Pacific region. The establishment of such a regional mechanism has been promoted by the Pacific Freedom Forum.

In the context of UNESCO's efforts to increase the freedom of the media, access to information and to use communication as a means of achieving sustainable development in the Pacific, and UNDP's programs promoting human rights and freedom of expression, the two organizations, in partnership with the Pacific Freedom Forum, have decided to undertake a feasibility study on establishing a regional media self-regulation mechanism for the Pacific.

2. OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE OF WORKS
• The overall aim of the feasibility study is to enable an informed discussion among media stakeholders about possible self-regulation mechanisms at the regional level with a view of exploring viable options to establish such a mechanism in the Pacific

• The objective of the feasibility study is to present and discuss the various models of self-regulation mechanisms; their advantages and disadvantages based on lessons learnt from existing mechanisms; based on consultations with media and development partners in the Pacific; and taking to account a possible need to adapt these to the Pacific region.

• The discussion on feasibility shall include at the minimum sections on: financing and sustainability of a regional mechanism; membership and appointments; relationship vis-à-vis national self-regulation mechanisms; as well as regional standard setting and enforcement processes.

• The feasibility study shall include a clear presentation of at least two different possible media self-regulation models for the Pacific region including an outline of the process towards their establishment, and a recommendation with regards to the most appropriate model for the Pacific.

A team of two consultants (1 international, 1 national/regional consultant) will be hired to develop the feasibility study in close consultation with media stakeholders and development partners across the Pacific region. UNDP, UNESCO and PFF staff will provide additional support, quality control, and advise to the consultancy team.

The international consultant on media self-regulation mechanisms will act as the team leader and will be responsible for the following:
 Take responsibility for the overall leadership in coordinating the schedule and workload of the consultant team for the timely and high quality delivery of the feasibility study.

Inter-linking the two observations indicates an opportunity for subsistence farmers to gain some cash through entering in some way, the market economy.
Description of assignment: A team of consultants is required to prepare and present four days of Professional Development Training to Agriculture Extension and related science or technology agents for state agencies, college outreach and Non-Governmental organizations. The four days will be repeated in each of the four states of the Federated States of Micronesia beginning in Kosrae and continuing to Pohnpei, Chuuk and Yap.

1. Farm Business Management – Economics and Planning
2. Best Management Practices - to provide quality marketable produce
3. Food Safety and Hygiene – from field to table
Individual consultants must be willing to work as a team
