Livelihoods Specialist at United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)
Location: Nairobi
Description:
Livelihoods Specialist at UNDP / GOK in Nairobi – Kenya Jobs, Careers and Vacancies
LIVELIHOODS SPECIALIST
Background
Kenya faced severe drought in 2011 whose impacts are still being felt, following successive rain failures. The drought described as one of the worst in 60 years affected three quarters of the country especially in the North Eastern, Rift Valley, Eastern and Coast provinces. 3.75million people mainly the pastoralists, farmers in marginal agricultural areas as well as the urban poor were affected. The drought caused crop failure, depleted pasture, water and led to loss of livestock contributing to a sharp deterioration of household food security. Turkana and Garissa districts are often exposed and are among the worst affected districts. They suffer from repeated natural disasters, conflict and are among the poorest regions in Kenya. Additional pressure from the burden of refugees on existing natural resources such as water and pasture, fire-wood which are at the bare minimum due to drought and mainly overburdens women’s lives, often increase tension and could lead to conflict between refugees and communities hosting them.
To address this, UNDP together with GOK have developed a project as a medium term measure to support recovery as well as build resilience of communities especially youth and women’s groups affected by the drought and to strengthen institutions responsible for recovery and disaster risk reduction work. The intervention will address short term livelihoods economic recovery needs of youth and women while establishing in the process the capacities and building blocks of sustainable local long-term development. The project will combine temporary employment (labor intensive community infrastructure development or rehabilitation), business counseling (mentoring and coaching) and skills training aimed at income generation activities which are in high demand in local markets, access to start-up capital for business oriented production or service provision. Importantly, a saving component will be introduced during the temporary employment and will be accompanied by financial literacy training.
The project takes a dual approach of building capacities from the bottom up through the empowerment of communities in particular women’s groups to initiate and manage their own recovery while at the same time building the capacities of local governments to interact, partner with and support these community efforts and their longer term development goals.
Job Profile
