| Overview : The United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) guides the work of UN agencies in the country. The current UNDAF (2010-2016) is due to end in June 2016. The UNDAF is being developed through an inclusive and participatory process jointly with the Government and other stakeholders. In April this year, as part of the process of formulating the next UNDAF, the United Nations agencies, programmes and funds, together with the Government of Ethiopia, conducted a Strategic Prioritization Retreat to determine the key areas of intervention for the next UNDAF which will run from July 2016 to June 2020. The strategic prioritization retreat was well attended by government, the UN, Civil society, private sector and donors. At the end of the workshop the participants have come up with draft outcomes and indicative outputs. In line with the pillars agreed during the workshop, pillar working groups have been established to refine the suggested results areas and to draft the results and resources matrix. Therefore, these pillar groups are relentlessly working to complete the results framework by the end of May 2015. In addition to this, under the leadership of the RCO, a draft country analysis has been prepared to help constitute the narrative part of the UNDAF. Hence the RCO is seeking to hire an individual consultant to polish the results matrix and, based on already-existing work, to prepare the first draft of the narrative part of the UNDAF document which includes the introduction; development context in line with the national development agenda and internationally-agreed development goals; and resources requirements. Hence, UNDP seeks the services of an international individual consultant with the required expertise to provide the captioned consultancy services as per the TOR. |
