Overview

The United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) is present in Ethiopia since 1998, date from which it has implemented a series of projects.In 2013 a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed between UN-Habitat and the Ministry of Urban Development, Housing and Construction (MUDHCo) to support the implementation of the Ethiopian Cities Prosperity Initiative (ECPI). UN-Habitat recently prepared a discussion paper on the ECPI and is now aiming to develop a City Prosperity Index which will allow monitoring the implementation of this initiative. Moreover, UN-Habitat has been requested to assist the process of translating the ECPI to fundable projects for supporting the urbanization process in the country and to define an Implementation Framework of this Government-led initiative through the Ministry of Urban Development, Housing and Construction (MUDHCo). The ECPI is the Ministry’s contribution to the Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP) II and III. The objective of this assignment is to assist MUDHCo in designing an Implementation Framework of the ECPI (who does what, where and with what resource), to formulate at least four fundable projects (which will possibly include UN-Habitat involvement) under the different pillars of the ECPI, according to defined priorities as agreed between the Ministry and UN-Habitat, and approach the donor community to seek for funding of key components of the ECPI. In addition, the assignment includes the support to the preparation of the State of Addis which provides a critical analysis of the socio-economic implications of the fast-development observed in the capital city. Hence, a National Individual Consultant is required to carryout the above assignment as per the TOR attached herewith.
