Description

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is seeking proposals for the Development of a Displacement-Sensitive Urban Plan in Somalia. This procurement opportunity is crucial for addressing the complex challenges associated with urban displacement, aiming to create more resilient and inclusive urban environments. The scope of work typically involves conducting thorough assessments of current urban conditions, understanding the dynamics of displacement, and developing strategic plans that integrate the needs of displaced populations into broader urban development frameworks. Key deliverables are expected to include comprehensive research, data analysis, stakeholder consultations (involving local authorities, community representatives, and displaced persons), and the formulation of actionable urban planning strategies. These strategies should encompass land use planning, housing solutions, access to basic services (water, sanitation, health, education), livelihood opportunities, and social integration. Bidders with demonstrable expertise in urban planning, humanitarian response, post-conflict reconstruction, and community engagement in fragile contexts are encouraged to apply. A strong understanding of Somali socio-economic and political contexts would be advantageous. The selected consultant will be responsible for guiding the planning process and ensuring its sensitivity to the specific vulnerabilities and needs arising from displacement.
