I. ACTED

ACTED est une ONG créée en 1993 dont l’objet est la mise en œuvre de programmes d’urgence, de reconstruction et de développement dans les pays en crise et en voie de développement.. ACTED intervient aujourd’hui, dans 30 pays sur 5 zones (Asie, Afrique, Amérique, Europe et Moyen-Orient) et emploie environ 200 expatriés et près de 4000 nationaux avec un budget en 2011 de 100M€ pour 350 projets dans le monde. Suivant une approche de développement intégré répondant à la fois aux besoins économiques, sociaux, éducatifs et culturels depuis plusieurs années, ACTED a étendu son action au champ culturel, en se spécialisant notamment dans la sauvegarde du patrimoine et l’éducation.

Plus récemment, ACTED a mis en place un réseau comprenant notamment une branche micro finance, Oxus Development Network, et une branche culturelle, la Fondation Bactria, dans laquelle s’inscrivent les activités du Centre Culturel Bactria.

II. Profil pays

Depuis décembre 2010, la Côte d’Ivoire traverse une crise grave. A l’origine un affrontement électoral, la situation a dégénéré avec des violences ayant entraîné, à ce jour, 462 morts selon l’ONUCI, et des violations des droits de l’Homme. L’accès aux services de base est mis à mal par une crise qui dure et qui affecte la santé, l’éducation, l’agriculture et l’économie, avec des conséquences humanitaires importantes sur les populations. Abidjan, la capitale économique du pays, a été le théâtre d’affrontements violents entre partisans politiques, mais le calme revient doucement, en particulier depuis le 11 avril, date de la chute du président sortant. Après des semaines de crise et de violences, les populations d’Abidjan doivent encore composer avec des pénuries persistantes aggravées par le mouvement de retours de ceux qui avaient fui les combats. L’augmentation exponentielle des prix limite l’accès des familles aux denrées alimentaires de base, certains biens de première nécessité et notamment les médicaments manquent, les banques viennent juste de rouvrir, et l’insécurité contribue à freiner le retour à la normale. Ce sont les familles restées dans ou à proximité d’Abidjan qui sont aujourd’hui les principales victimes de l’insécurité alimentaire selon les résultats d’enquêtes menées par l’Agence des Nations Unies pour l’alimentation et l’agriculture (FAO) courant avril. Depuis le début de la crise, ACTED suit attentivement l’évolution de la situation, des déplacements et les besoins des populations confrontées à des semaines de violence. Une équipe d’urgence ACTED est présente dans le pays et notamment à Abidjan depuis le début du mois d’avril. Elle a notamment pu se rendre compte de la situation sur place et identifier les priorités humanitaires dans les quartiers de communes de la capitale ayant connu des affrontements et donc des déplacements importants, ainsi que dans les lieux d’accueil des populations déplacées. Dans ces quartiers, ce sont près de 65% des habitants qui ont fui leurs habitations. Celles-ci ont pour la plupart été saccagées ou détruites. Les populations qui reviennent se retrouvent sans toit, sans moyens de subsistance et ont du mal à trouver les aliments de base comme le manioc ou la farine sur les marchés, même si les petits commerces ont redémarré leur activité depuis quelques jours. Sans ressources, ces familles sont contraintes de faire appel à la solidarité familiale, de revendre leurs moyens de production ou d’emprunter de quoi se nourrir. Forte de sa capacité de réponse d’urgence sur des situations similaires, au niveau régional mais aussi global, ACTED est mobilisée afin d’apporter une aide aux populations touchées par la crise, et de contribuer au retour à une situation normale dans la ville d’Abidjan. L’objectif est d’éviter que la situation de vulnérabilité extrême des plus fragiles ne se transforme en isolement et en appauvrissement définitif, et d’aider les communautés à se reconstruire. Les équipes d’ACTED suivent l’évolution de la problématique d’insécurité alimentaire afin de proposer des interventions adaptées aux besoins des populations victimes des violences en Côte d’Ivoire, et leur permettre de retrouver des conditions de vie et de subsistance minimum. ACTED est aujourd’hui présente dans la zone d’Abidjan, mais nos équipes sont également mobilisées dans d’autres régions impactées par la crise en région, notamment dans le Moyen Cavally, afin d’envisager une réponse humanitaire multisectorielle, multi-zone et durable

RWI Index Research Consultants

2012-01-27T18:45:00.000+03:00

RWI seeks individual research consultants to support the data gathering for the 2012 Revenue Watch Index. Researchers associated with research or advocacy institutions in resource rich countries are also encouraged to apply. Researchers will be responsible for answering a detailed questionnaire for each country under their responsibility, providing information on the government's reporting and disclosure practices and information about the country's legal framework for the extractive sector.

Institutions in resource rich countries interested in supporting the Revenue Watch Index would also be eligible to receive funding for dissemination projects related to the Index after its completion.

RESEARCH FOCUS: The Revenue Watch Index

The Revenue Watch Index is a tool for measuring transparency across a diverse range of countries with considerable oil, gas and/or mineral reserves. The Index aims to provide useful information to help civil society demand higher standards of transparency and accountability in the extractive sector as well as to guide policymakers with specific recommendations for responding to such demands.

The Revenue Watch Index 2010 provided information about crucial elements of resource revenue transparency in 41 countries. Since its publication in early October 2010, the Revenue Watch Index has got more than 3,000 hits in the RWI website and the report has been one of the top downloads. As an example of its impact, the government of Trinidad and Tobago mentioned the Index when it announced its decision to resume implementation of the EITI in early December 2010. For more information about the RWI index go to: www.revenuewatch.org/rwindex2010.

In its second implementation the Index will cover up to 55 countries in six global regions: Africa, Asia-Pacific, Caucasus & Russia, Latin America, the Middle East & North Africa and OECD countries. RWI will determine the set of countries in each region, as well as the specific resource (oil, gas or mineral) that will be the target of research in each country.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Researchers will cover between one and three countries, depending on their country expertise. For each of the assigned countries, researchers will complete a detailed questionnaire. In order to complete the questionnaires, researchers will consult publicly available official documents and conduct interviews with relevant government officials, civil society activists and local industry experts. Researchers will provide evidence (including but not limited to official web site links, governmental reports, academic references and interviews) for their responses. Answers to the questionnaire should be consistent with the guidelines provided in the Guide to the Revenue Watch Index Questionnaire, which will be provided to all researchers at the beginning of the research process. A project management tool will be available for the entire research process. This tool will provide online access to all the documents necessary for the research and it will include instructions for researchers. The entire data gathering work, including answers to the questionnaire, will be conducted using this online platform. RWI will provide assistance to researchers during the entire process to answer questions about the methodology and ensure high quality, consistent research.

Once the researchers have completed the questionnaires, RWI will review them for accuracy and consistency. After this initial vetting process, the questionnaires will be submitted to anonymous peer reviewers with country expertise, who will cross-check all the answers and communicate any concerns to RWI and the researcher. Researchers may be asked to provide further evidence or clarifications in response to concerns raised by peer reviewers. RWI will act as referee when conflicting answers are suggested to ensure consistency of assumptions across countries.

DELIVERABLES

For each of their assigned countries, researchers are expected to return a completed questionnaire. In order to support each answer, researchers will be expected to supply one or more of the following:

i. a reference or citation to an official document that supports or provides foundation for the researcher's answer choice;

ii. a reference or citation to an interview with a government official, civil society activist and local industry expert;

iii. a comment explaining or providing evidence or support for the answer chosen; or

iv. a reference to relevant newspaper articles, academic papers, books or reports by international institutions.

Researchers will also be expected to supply electronic (PDF) versions and/or websites of publicly available "key documents" used in answering the questionnaire. These include, but are not limited to:

Contracts
Environmental and social impact reports
Petroleum, gas and mining statistical reports or databases
Annual and in-year Reports
EITI reports
Auditor's reports
Other documents such as interview notes or transcripts of responses
All documentary evidence and references will be provided using an online project management tool defined by RWI.

Finally, researchers will provide a brief summary (approx. 500 words) of their main findings in every country.

QUALIFICATIONS

All researchers will possess the following qualifications:

Graduate degree in international affairs, political science or similar disciplines.
Demonstrated desk-based research skills.
Strong interviewing skills and familiarity with survey and research methodologies.
Detailed knowledge of extractive industries operating in the given region as well as of the political context of the region.

Research for the Revenue Watch Index 2012 is expected to start in November 2011 and finish by April 2012. Based on a test of the methodology and past experience, it is estimated that research on each country can be completed in approximately 60 hours. Actual dates of implementation for each country will depend on the date when work is started and researchers will receive deadlines for deliverables based on the date they sign their contracts.

The peer review process will be completed between January and May 2012 and researchers are expected to be available for consultation during this period. Revision and consultation time per country is estimated at about 20 hours. However, researchers will not bill at an hourly rate, but instead are compensated for the completed project.

FEE

RWI will compensate each researcher for satisfactory performance of the work, assignments and tasks outlined in this Terms of Reference at a rate of $2,000 for every assigned questionnaire. A first installment of 20% the total rate will be paid up front when researchers sign their contract and the remainder 80% will be paid upon successful completion of the project, defined by final approval of results after the peer review process.
