ReDSS Durable Solutions Framework case study Employment Opportunities in Ethiopia

Consultancy Objectives

Building on the work started at the end of 2016, ReDSS seeks to commission a consultant to conduct a detailed Solutions study using the ReDSS Solutions framework4 which will work as an analytical basis for a broad variety of stakeholders to see in detail and in concrete terms to what extent local integration for refugees in Ethiopia has been achieved – at the national level and to identify progress, key opportunities, gaps and challenges.

Specific objectives

Provide Solutions analysis using the ReDSS framework on refugees in Ethiopia (both those residing in refugee camps and in urban contexts) to inform multi-sectorial rights and needs based programing

Support a common understanding of ‘what is a durable solution’ illustrated in detail via an indicator set that will show the situation/stage of physical, legal and material safety and

Provide specific recommendations on how/ where the Government of Ethiopia, the UN, humanitarian, development and other key actors can contribute their expertise to monitor an agreed set of indicators of durable solutions and support a positive move along the lines of these indicators

Provide specific recommendations on how to improve local integration and self-reliance programing and policies (programing gaps and priorities based on the solutions indicators’ rating, key actors, good practices, lessons learnt, funding opportunities…) in refugee camps and in urban context

Methodolgy

The data gathered will be based on the ReDSS Solutions framework 31 indicators, looking at the physical, material and legal safety of refugees, in comparison to the host communities.

The ReDSS Solutions framework is a rapid analytical tool that offers a snapshot in time to assess to what extent durable solutions for displaced populations have been achieved in a particular context.

It can also be used as a joint monitoring

and evaluation tool to support coordination and identify gaps and needs of displacement affected communities5. It provides common overall outcomes and detailed activities based on the result that is developed and adapted to the local context.

The objective is to improve and standardize the generation and availability of relevant data and analysis to better and more consistently operationalize joint response plans based on evidence in the search of durable solutions in East Africa.
