Introduction
The fast-paced context of Somalia and the Country's multiple and interlinked challenges require the flexibility pooled funding mechanisms can provide. The Somalia Joint Fund (SJF) plays this role by accommodating flexible and innovative programmatic approaches that support the UN's response to Somalia's National Development Plan, as outlined in the UN Cooperation Framework 2021-2025 (UNCF). The Fund supports the operationalization of the humanitarian-development-peace nexus across its portfolio to create synergies, leverage complementary expertise, and maximize collective impact through joint programmes and strategic partnerships. Currently, the SJF has a capitalization of USD 479 million and an active portfolio of 10 joint programmes and the PBFs current portfolio comprises eight projects with over a total of about USD 16.8 million. The two funds work collaboratively to coordinate on investment in nexus programming of jointly funded programmes under the Integrated Office of the Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary General, Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator for Somalia (UN IO). Despite the establishment of the Federal Government in 2012, the UN still primarily implements its programmes through different contractual instruments with state and non-state actors in varied programming contexts. Some sections of the Country remain highly volatile thus, UN staff movement is highly restricted in some areas which impedes the ability of UN staff to provide adequate oversight, monitoring and verification of its programmes’ delivery, to evaluate the impact of UN Programmes or, to independently verify the situational analysis as reported by partners, local authorities or media.
Within this context, UNDP on behalf of the UN IO hereby invites qualified and experienced organisations to submit a Proposal to this Request for Proposal (RFP) for the award of a Long-Term Agreement for provision of third-party monitoring (TPM) services for programmes funded by the SJF and PBF as described in these Terms of Reference (ToRs).
