Consultancy for design and delivery of online PIM Training – Libyanjobs

Job Overview

Consultancy for design and delivery of online PIM Training
1. BACKGROUND

Danish Refugee Council (DRC) & Danish Demining Group (DDG) have been operational in Libya since 2011, providing basic assistance and protection services to safeguard dignity, safety and wellbeing of the most vulnerable and at risk (migrants, refugees, IDPs, returnees, host communities.) DRC programming currently includes protection, cash transfer programming, and small-scale shelter, site management and wash response. Since 2015, DRC has been working collaboratively in an inter-agency working group with UNHCR on a protection information management (PIM) initiative. The PIM initiatives seeks to enhance collaboration for quality data and information on displaced individuals and groups of persons in a safe, reliable, and meaningful way for quality protection outcomes. The PIM initiative is based on the rationale that a shared understanding of PIM within the humanitarian community will facilitate the targeted use of protection resources, coordinated protection response, and life-saving protection interventions to a degree otherwise not possible.

In Libya, DRC is currently co-leading the Protection Sector with UNHCR. DRC aims to improve the Protection Sector’s response and coordination by offering a training on Protection Information Management (PIM) to NGOs and UN agencies who are active in the protection sector. PIM allows for an enhanced capacity of partners to collaboratively and systematically collect, process, and share protection data and information. The result is the establishment of joint analyses that helps in identifying key issues, trends and protection risks affecting conflict-affected populations. Ultimately, these analyses serve to inform a more effective, needs-based and coordinated humanitarian response across the Protection Sector. Due to gaps identified in the protection sector, DRC, via support from ECHO is funded to provide PIM training to protection sector and protection sub-sector participants. Given the covid-19 pandemic, the PIM training is being proposed to be carried out remotely.
