The Programme
Security represents a significant challenge for Kenya. Poor and marginalised Kenyans suffer from a multiplicity of violent attacks. Almost 500 Kenyans were killed and over 55,000 displaced due to inter-communal violence and resource conflicts during 2013 . Women and children were most affected by the brunt of sexual violence, killings, injuries, and loss of property and displacement that occurred. Kenya ranks at 12/124 in the Global Terrorism Index . A nationwide perception survey reported that approximately 20% of respondents had been victims of crime or violence during the preceding year . Countrywide, 39% of Kenyan women aged 15-49 have experienced sexual or physical violence, according to the latest Kenya Democratic Health survey .
In order to address these high levels of violence DFID Kenya established the Jamii Thabiti Programme, also known as the Kenya Improving Community Security Programme (ICS). Jamii Thabiti is a £13.5 million, 3.5 year DFID funded problem driven programme that aims to increase security and safety for men, women and children in Kenya through increasing the capacity of key institutions (such as the police and county government) to prevent and respond to violence. In doing so, the programme will address three types of violence: criminal violence, inter-communal violence and violence against women and girls (VAWG) initially in eight counties: Kisumu, Bungoma, Wajir, Mandera Nakuru, Baringo, Kwale and Kilifi. This will be achieved through partnership agreements with at least 20 partners at the National and county level.
The outputs are:
- Output 1: Strengthened national frameworks for effective, oversight, governance and coordination to safety and security interventions at the county level.
- Output 2: Enhanced effectiveness, coordination, oversight and accountability of safety and security actors at the county level.
- Output 3: Improved community knowledge of rights, responsibilities, and partnership with safety and security service providers in resolving violence at the local level.
- Output 4: Effective partnerships, and lessons learning at the national and county level
The Position
The primary purpose of the organisation capacity assessment is to identify the specific capacity-building areas of Jamii Thabiti partners and draw up recommendations for a two year capacity development that will highlight areas of improvements and the training needs and structural support required.
The results of this activity will feed into Output 4 of the logical framework which requires strengthening the capacities of partner organisations to enable them to effectively implement activities and ensure adaptive and iterative programming on police reform, peacebuilding and violence against women and girls.
In consultation with Jamii Thabiti, the consultant/organisation will develop capacity development plans that accurately capture priority areas and activities, timeframes for such activities, costings and expected outcomes/results.
To this end, Jamii Thabiti seeks to engage the services of a qualified local consultant/s or firm with demonstrated expertise in facilitating organisational capacity assessments, capacity development plans and the implementation of development plans.
