Livelihoods & Local Economic Recovery International Consultant to Develop Project Document, Juba, South Sudan
Closing date: 2015-12-01
Location :Juba, SOUTH SUDAN
Application Deadline :01-Dec-15
Additional Category:Poverty Reduction
Type of Contract :Individual Contract
Post Level :International Consultant
Languages Required :English
Starting Date :(date when the selected candidate is expected to start)
Duration of Initial Contract :30 days
Expected Duration of Assignment :30 days
The armed conflict that erupted in South Sudan on 15 December 2013 was a culmination of months of tensions, mistrust and division in the ruling SPLM party and public disagreement amongst party leadership on the implementation of party rules and regulations and the party constitution reform process prior to the National Elections envisaged for 2015. Within days of armed violence erupting, large-scale defections spread across the security sector. Nation building and civil administration were seriously compromised by mobilization of armed groups, local militias as well as deep ethnic cleavages opened up in some communities leading to large scale movement of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).
After several weeks of violence, an Agreement on Cessation of Hostilities was signed on 23 January 2014 following negotiations brokered by the Inter-governmental Authority on Development (IGAD), which however was quickly violated, resulting in further massive displacement. On 9 May, an Agreement to Resolve the Crisis in South Sudan was signed between the parties. Since then, fighting has started to decrease significantly. As of October 2014, 469,000 refugees have fled the country and 1.4 million individuals remain internally displaced and most are seeking shelter in remote rural areas across the country. Displacement patterns remain fluid due to violence. There are currently over 100,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) sheltering in nine UN bases across South Sudan. Living conditions in some PoC sites are inadequate and very harsh as these facilities were never designed to host populations not least in such a large numbers. Approximately 203,200 people, displaced in the early stages of the conflict, have since returned to their homes, and in many cases have lost all of their belongings and livelihoods.
The UN's response to the crisis has been swift. A response plan focusing on saving lives, protecting conflict-affected communities, resumption of livelihoods and logistical support was developed. However, critical elements of stability such as economic alternatives, community cohesion, rule of law, governance and peace and reconciliation to potentially high-risk groups, both in the settlements and in communities of origin, need to be introduced explicitly for a more integrated response.
UNDP's response was defined within a 90-day Action Plan , guided by three interrelated objectives, notably: to promote peace and stabilization through national reconciliation and healing, stabilization and community security; to build resilient communities through early economic recovery and extension of responsive local government; and to deepen democracy to assist consolidation of a political settlement within the framework of constitutionalism, credible transitional justice processes and promote the rule of law. On the basis of the 90-day Plan, an Integrated Crisis Prevention and Recovery Programme was developed and received US$ 3,250,000 in seed funding from UNDP's former Bureau for Crisis Prevention and Recovery (BCPR). The Pilot Programme is currently being implemented and is yielding positive results. The pilot programme with special reference to the livelihood and local economic recovery component needs to be developed into a full-fledged project document with a view to replication and scaling up in the country. It is within this context of strengthening UNDP South Sudan's response that the consultant on livelihoods and local economic recovery is being recruited.

The Tampa Bay Rays needed to return to the Rays way – pitching and defense – as they attempted to draw even at a game apiece in their best of five American League Division Series against the Boston Red Sox. Instead they delivered another late season dose of frustration in falling to the Boston Red Sox by a final score of 7-4.
On Monday the Rays return to Tropicana Field for the first time since defeating the Baltimore Orioles on September 20th. The Rays will send Alex Cobb [1] to the mound in a must win elimination game and he will be matched up against Clay Buchholz [2].
[3]The Rays needed a quality innings from David Price [4] a day after they only received 4.1 innings from Matt Moore [5]. They needed their defense to turn balls in play into outs unlike yesterday when fly balls landed for doubles, groundballs turned into infield hits, and strikeouts turned into a man on base and a prolonged inning.
After scoring two early runs yesterday the Rays offense was held scoreless over the final four frames. They needed to pressure Red Sox pitching and take advantage of their opportunities.
The Rays received innings from David Price [4] but the quality wasn't present. He worked 7+ innings giving up 7R/ER on 9 hits striking out 5 walking 2 and allowing two solo home runs to David Ortiz [6].
The offense began a disturbing trend in the top of the first inning. David DeJesus [7] led off the game with a walk and advanced to 2nd on a James Loney [8] 1-out single but the rally was thwarted as Evan Longoria [9] bounced into a double play to end the inning. It would be just the first of three double plays the Rays would hit into.
The Rays defense once again uncharacteristically gave up an extra base to allow the Red Sox to score their first run. Jacoby Ellsbury [10] singled to lead off the game and attempted to steal second. Jose Molina [11]'s throw sailed into center field and Ellsbury moved to 3rd base. Ellsbury had to hold as Shane Victorino [12] was retired on a ground out to Evan Longoria [9] but came in to score on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Dustin Pedroia [13]. David Oritz put an exclamation mark on the inning with a solo home run to put the Red Sox up 2-0.
The Rays came back to put up a single run in the top of the 2nd. Ben Zobrist [14] walked to lead off the inning, moved to 3rd on a Desmond Jennings [15] single, and came in to score on a sacrifice fly by Delmon Young [16]. With two out in the inning Desmond Jennings [15] stole 2nd base but was stranded as Jose Molina [11] struck out.
David Price [4] was unable to settle into a groove and the Red Sox plated two more runs in the bottom of the third and a single run in the bottom of the fourth.
The Rays offense mounted a rally of John Lackey [17] in the top of the fifth inning to cut the Red Sox lead to 5-3. With 2-out James Loney [8] delivered a 2-RBI double plating David DeJesus [7] and Yunel Escobar [18].
John Lackey [17] walked Evan Longoria [9] and Ben Zobrist [14] worked the count full before taking a called third strike to end the rally.
David Price couldn't keep the Red Sox off the board in the bottom of the fifth as he allowed the Red Sox to add a run to push their lead to 6-3.
The Rays cut the lead to 6-4 in the top of the 6th on a 1-out Yunel Escobar [18] RBI single. With Jose Molina [11] due up Joe Maddon [19] went to his bench and called upon Matt Joyce to pinch hit for Jose Molina. John Farrell [20] responded by calling on left hander Craig Breslow [21] to replace John Lackey [17].
The move worked in the Red Sox favor as Breslow retired Joyce on a fly ball to center. Sean Rodriguez [22] came in to pinch hit for David DeJesus [7] and Farrell stuck with his lefty who retired Rodriguez on a ground out to short.
Breslow remained in the game to work the 7th inning and the Rays mounted against him. After retiring Wil Myers [23] to lead off the inning he hit James Loney [8] with a pitch and walked Evan Longoria but the inning came to an end as Ben Zobrist [14] grounded into a double play.
The frustration of the double play ball struck the Rays again in the top of the 8th off Red Sox reliever Junichi Tazawa [24] who allowed a 1-out single to Delmon Young [16] but Yunel Escobar [18] followed by hitting into an inning ending double play.
David Price came out to face David Ortiz [6] to begin the bottom of the 8th inning and Ortiz sent his second home run of the evening to the seats in right to give the Sox a 7-4 lead.
Koji Uehara [25] worked a 1-2-3 ninth striking out Matt Joyce and Jose Lobaton [26] and retiring Wil Myers [23] on a ground out to first base.
The Rays will be facing elimination back at Tropicana Field Monday evening. They will send Alex Cobb [1] to the mound versus Clay Buchholz [2].

Blue Tree Frog
April Wietrecki Green
Photograph - Photograph
As far as I can tell, this is a blue tree frog (not a trick of color enhancement, just a genetic anomaly). We found this cute little frog while hiking at a park in Fl. Other than poison dart frogs in cages, I had never seen a blue frog before! You just never know what you will get with nature :-)

This is a different taste for chicken but very good! I think I would like it better with a little bit of spice. We used a cut up chicken, skinned, and just grilled longer. It came out tender and sweet. Thanks!

Way too fun to be single
I'm looking for someone that can be a partner in my life. Someone that likes some of the same things I do but is different enough to keep us from getting bored. I can be a bit sarcastic and a little rough around the edges sometimes but I like that about myself and take pride in who I am. These traits are part of what has made me successful in my career and also keep my coworkers and friends laughing. I'm also a loving and caring person and have had enough life experience to know how people should be treated. I have a few hobbies like pool and Crossfit, and I'd like to meet someone that can enjoy those hobbies with me. I also want to meet someone that wants to explore and can introduce me to some new things. I've traveled the world a bit and plan to continue doing so. I've been to Russia, Spain, and Holland to name a few countries. I also have family now living in Key West so am going to learn to scuba dive and an looking forward to spear fishing for the first time. I come from a very loving family and know that I've been blessed to have them when so many others don't. They are the kind of family that no matter who you are, they will make you feel welcome and comfortable in minutes. Those are just a few things about me, there is much more to explore. If you are reading this, you know how it works. If you are interested in talking contact me and we will see what happens.

I like Dogs, Fish
I have a cat that I've had for almost two years and he is very entertaining. I'm generally an animal lover so am okay with any pets. I volunteered at numerous humane societies so understand animals pretty well.
Some other viewpoint
No favorite hot spots at the moment but I'm open to all types of experiences. I'd enjoy visiting the top resturants in D.C and other states and countires with someone special.
The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD
French and Italian food, my chef's knives, giving the perfect gift, going to the box, seeing my best friends, sexy shoes, nice jeans, and watching a cue ball do exactly what I told it to
I'm a thrill seeker that can enjoy an evening at home as much as a great adventure. I've already talked about pool for fun but I also love riding roller coasters. I jumped out of the first plane I ever got into - that should say something.
I don't think my reading says that much about me except that I don't spend a lot of time with my face in a book. I just read the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo on a recent plane ride.

For The Love Of Pooches
It's the year of the animal motif! Officially. We've seen woodland creatures, we've seen birds, and now the latest craze is dogs! As a nation of animal lovers, it doesn't really come as a surprise.
Whether it's a t-shirt print with a bulldog wearing a snap-back, or a darling dachshund mug, these cute designs don't get boring! Not to mention that the patterns don't have to look silly or informal – just take a look at the Radley brand, for instance!
We kinda hope the trend is here to stay as well! We're big fans of Paul O'Grady's For the Love of Dogs – a heart-wrenching documentary detailing the uplifting and heart-breaking stories that homeless pups face at Battersea dogs.
We're happy to adorn anything with a little sausage dog, terrier, or Labrador peeping up at us. Dogs are for life after all!

Avril Somerville's first book of nonfiction in essays and verse, A Journey Of Life On Purpose: Creativity, Love, Womanhood, Community, Race, and Identity launches on Independence Day, July 4th, 2015 everywhere as a paperback and e-book, but is now available for Pre-Order at Amazon.
For a limited time, you can also order an Autographed By the Author copy here (while supplies last).
Writer and speaker AVRIL SOMERVILLE is also the author of the upcoming, highly anticipated novel, How Dare You Say Goodbye? Her poem "Massive Cover-Up" was selected for a performance at the Art Sanctuary of Philadelphia's 31st Annual Celebration of Black Writing Festival, an event renowned for featuring some of the region's most talented authors and artists.
Note: Symbol on front cover is a combination of two separate Adinkra symbols from West African tradition –the "Morning Star" which can mean a new start to a new day, and the wheel which represents rotation or independent movement. In essence, it is a symbol that represents transformation; after all, it is the reason we are here, to leave better than when we came, that is to be transformed. Namasté.

The show was poorly done. However, the presenter was charming and inviting and the dancers were good. I am sure that there was more talent within the artists than what I experienced last night.

This event lacked talent. The queens did not know the music nor how to dance or entertain a crowd. The best part was the comic relief guy who showed up between the drag acts and the play. They used the same Christmas song three times!!! Very...continued

Would someone be able to try out the Arriva M-Ticket app on their San Deigo please (stock Orange ICS if poss)
Since the update to Version 3 of the app I'm unable to get it to load.
When launching from the Play Store you get an error about it wanting to reboot. Arriva suggest running it from the android app list instead, but this doesn't load. The phone waits a couple of seconds then continues as normal without loading the app.
I'm wondering if it's not x86 compatible. Arriva say it should work on 'all Android phones' however I've a feeling they mean 'all ARM based phones'. It'd be useful if someone else could try this out so I can advise them further.

Dear Experian,
I was under the impression that if you sought after a specific type of loan, such as an auto loan, within a 10 day time frame that it would only post on your report once. However, one car dealer hit my credit three different times for the same auto loan application. Why are all three on my report?
