Ethiopia: Expert for Enhancing Governance System for MFIs - PEPE

Organization: DAI Global
Country: Ethiopia
Closing date: 30 Jul 2019

Enhancing Governance System for MFIs

LOE: Up to 32 days

Responsible Person: Kenno Itana

Period of assignment: July to Oct, 2019

BACKGROUND

Enterprise Partners (EP) is a 7-year (2013-2020) wealth creation programme which, inclusive of women and the environment, aims to support the private sector and Ethiopia’s economic growth. By applying the Making Markets Work for the Poor (M4P) approach for sustainable results, it aims to facilitate market development in order to spur innovation and investment that creates jobs and increases incomes for the poor. It does so with a combination of technical assistance and market facilitation in resolving market failures. EP is being implemented by a consortium led by DAI Europe, and includes First Consult, Enclude and ITAD.

Background specific to this assignment

The Government of Ethiopia (GoE), in cooperation with the World Bank Group, the European Investment Bank and the DFID-funded Enterprise Partners, is implementing the SME Finance Project aimed at enhancing access to finance opportunities for SMEs in Ethiopia. The Development Bank of Ethiopia (DBE) is the implementing agency for the $269 million credit facility aimed at supporting SMEs through lease financing and working capital financing through DBE, commercial banks, microfinance institutions and lease finance companies.

The Ethiopia SME Finance Study (2014) represents the analytical background for the project. The study, conducted by the World Bank at the request of the GoE, looked at (the lack of) SME finance as one of the possible obstacles to job creation. The study has demonstrated the existence of a so-called “missing middle” phenomenon in Ethiopia, whereby small enterprises are more credit constrained than either micro or medium/large enterprises. The study also highlighted the inadequacies of Ethiopia’s financial sector to address the financing needs of SMEs, and the existence of severe limitations in the overall enabling environment for SME lending (e.g. the lack of a collateral registry). Moreover, it also highlighted the importance of lease finance as a complementary source of funding for boosting the Ethiopian economy by providing long-term finance to SMEs, which need funds to expand, but often do not have the credit history or collateral sufficient for credit from conventional financing sources.

The project has four components:

  1. Financial services to SMEs
  2. Enabling environment for SME Finance
  3. Business Development Services to SMEs
  4. Project’s management, communication and impact evaluation

Under component 1, the project provides participating financial intermediaries with a line of credit facility for the provision of leasing and working capital to eligible SMEs. This liquidity support is complemented with technical assistance (TA) aimed at supporting participating financial institutions in designing, piloting, and rolling out financial products, utilizing innovative lending methodologies (i.e. cash flow based lending) to successfully expand their outreach to target SMEs.

DBE provides direct financing to SMEs, and wholesale finance to other financial intermediaries for on-lending to SMEs through two windows: a lease finance window and a lending/working capital window.

A TA facility is established to complement and reinforce the credit facility. The capacity building will aim to develop the staff of participating financing institutions to serve SMEs adequately – training them in assessing SME business proposals and developing suitable financial products and lending methodologies for the target group. Participating financial institutions will assume full credit risk of lending to SMEs and are free to set pricing and loan conditions, including relevant policies and procedures, commensurate with their cost structure, capital base and risk profile.

OBJECTIVES

Organization: International Organization for Migration
Country: Mozambique
Closing date: 05 Aug 2019

Position Title : Migration Health and Protection Officer

Duty Station : Pemba, Mozambique

Classification : Professional Staff, Grade UG

Type of Appointment : Special short-term ungraded, Six Months with possibility of extension

Estimated Start Date : As soon as possible

Closing Date : 05 August 2019

Established in 1951, IOM is a Related Organization of the United Nations, and as the leadingUN agency in the field of migration, works closely with governmental, intergovernmental andnon-governmental partners. IOM is dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does so by providing services and advice to governments and migrants.

Internal and external candidates will be considered for this vacancy. For the purposes of this vacancy, internal candidates are defined as staff members holding a regular, fixed-term or short-term graded or ungraded contract, including Junior Professional Officers (JPOs), staff on Special Leave Without Pay (SLWOP), and staff members on secondment/loan released by the Organization, unless otherwise specified in their contract. Staff members holding a regular, fixed-term or short-term graded contract will not retain their contract type if appointed to an ungraded position.

Context:

The International Organization for Migration (IOM), the UN Migration Agency is a dynamic and growing inter-governmental organization, with 172 member states. IOM is committed to the principle that “humane and orderly migration benefits migrants and society”. Established in 1951 and now active in over 440 field locations worldwide, IOM works with partners, government and civil society to promote international cooperation to address operational challenges of migration and mobility, assist in the search for practical solutions to migration problems, and to provide humanitarian assistance to migrants in need, including refugees and internally displaced people. IOM addresses the migratory phenomenon from an integral and holistic perspective, including links to development, in order to maximize its benefits and minimize its negative effects.

Emergency Response

Tropical Cyclone (TC) Kenneth made landfall on April 25th, 2019 in the district of Macomia, Cabo Delgado province, becoming the second Cyclone to hit Mozambique in six weeks, after TC Idai hit Beira on March 14. IOM DTM (Displacement Tracking Matrix) site assessment reports indicate significant gaps in service delivery inclusive of site management, and primary identified needs range from food, shelter, and health services to a generalized lack of water and sanitation facilities. Shelter materials are identified as a major need to ensure families can rebuild their homes. Shelter needs continue to increase, with more than 239,000 households partially or destroyed as well as proceeding relocation and resettlement planning.

From past research and experience, a gap has persisted in governments and humanitarian actors’ capacity to incorporate the HIV/AIDS considerations into humanitarian responses to disasters, within Mozambique, as well as globally (Tomm-Bonde, 2017). Emergencies have the

greatest impact on vulnerable groups, including women, adolescents, and children . In addition to the breakdown of health infrastructure that is critical for these vulnerable groups (e.g. for vaccinations, child birth, antenatal and postpartum care), women and girls are at heightened risk of sexual violence that puts them at greater risk of HIV infection; estimates show that as many as one in five refugees or displaced women in complex humanitarian settings have experienced sexual violence . Populations destabilized or displaced by natural disaster may also suffer a greater risk of exposure to HIV infection as the result of resorting to commercial sex as a coping strategy .

IOM through it’s response to Cyclone Kenneth has committed to build the capacity of National Institute of Disaster Management (INGC), and relevant partners, within the emergency response to incorporate measures that reduce the disaster’s impact on persons living with HIV and HIV vulnerable populations. To this end, IOM with the World Food Programme will work together to deliver an HIV programme with technical support from UNFPA, UNICEF, UNAIDS and other relevant Government and NGO partners, such as the National AIDS Council (CNCS), Ministry of Health, Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Action (MGCAS), to coordinate and implement key activities to respond to the needs of people living with HIV (PLHIV) and those who are affected and at risk of infection. The project approach will be guided by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Guidelines for Addressing HIV in Humanitarian Settings (2010). IOM will also draw from its recent work in Mozambique with INGC, MISAU, and MGCAS on preparedness planning for HIV in Emergencies that has been ongoing since 2017 with the support from key UN agencies.

Under the overall guidance of the IOM Mozambique Chief of Mission, and direct supervision by the Programme Managers for Migration Health, and Migration Protection and Assistance, the successful candidate will be responsible for the overall management, coordination and implementation of the IOM HIV in Emergencies, Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) and Protection projects in Cabo Delgado.

  2. Work with World Food Programme (WFP) counterparts to provide sensitization and treatment literacy within accommodation centers and communities of resettlement and return, including dissemination of key messaging related to prevention and treatment needs and do this with the solicitation of partner technical UN agencies and relevant ministries.

Trainings will be offered to government and non-government entities involved in the response (INGC, provincial government, NGOs, CBOs) in partnership with MISAU, Provincial Directorates of Health, and MGCAS – do this with the soliciting of technical support from relevant UN agencies and ministries.
