International Consultant to develop the Curricula on the Community Disaster Risk Reduction and conduct the Training of TrainersVacancy Number: Pr14/00687
Contacts: Ms. Ecaterina Chistruga. Background
Moldova’s economy, population, and environment are highly exposed and vulnerable to climate variability and change and different kinds of natural hazards, including drought, floods, severe weather, earthquakes, and landslides. Average annual losses from hydrometeorological hazards comprise around three percent of GDP (if the 2007 drought is factored into the annual average). They have a severe impact upon the rural population of Moldova, which makes up around 60% of the total and depends largely upon agriculture for their livelihood. Overall annual losses from geophysical hazards account for 0.9% of GDP. These primarily threaten infrastructure, homes, and public buildings.
The Moldova Disaster and Climate Risk Reduction Project, Phase II, is a 3 year project (October 2013 – September 2016), funded and implemented by UNDP. During the first phase of the project a gradual shift of focus from traditional disaster response towards a more comprehensive approach to Disaster and Climate Risk Management oriented at prevention and preparedness could be observed. Building on this, the second phase will put emphasis on developing disaster risk management capacities, raising awareness of the general population and policy- and decision makers and increasing the level of knowledge of practitioners. The main objective of the 2nd phase of the project is to reduce disaster and climate risks in Moldova through the development of national and local risk management capacities. Outputs in support of this objective are as follows: 1. Coordination, planning, and monitoring capacities enhanced to execute the National Disaster Risk Management Strategy 2. Key stakeholders and society have improved DRR awareness and knowledge, as well as strengthened ability to develop own capacity 3. Regional and Local level risk management replicated and upscaled in Moldova The main implementing partners are the Civil Protection and Emergency Situations Service of the Ministry of Interior and its affiliated training centers, Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Health, Crisis Medicine Training Center, Ministry of Education, LPAs, NGOs and CBOs. To strengthen capacities in the Disaster Risk Reduction of the Civil Protection and Emergency Situations Service (CPESS) of the Ministry of Interior the Project seeks for a qualified candidate to support the main partner in the process of reform and developing the Institutional Development Plan.
