L’objectif de la consultation est d’évaluer quantitativement et qualitativement le degré de localisation des réponses humanitaires, d’en suivre l’évolution dans le temps et d’identifier les succès et les défis au Mali pour

• assurer un système d’échange de bonnes pratiques et de leçons apprises
• mener des actions de plaidoyer basées sur des preuves
• améliorer le programme de localisation des pays avec des propositions concrètes.

Cela fait partie d’un projet qui couvre l’Afrique de l’Ouest et centrale, en utilisant un cadre méthodologique de base de localisation.

Le consultant national Mali devra dérouler la méthodologie et les outils développés au niveau régional au sein du pays. Un consultant régional (Regional Information Management Advisor) sera là pour l’accompagnement, le support et l’orientation sur les aspects techniques du projet (outils, méthodologie, etc.).

Date limite de candidature 15 avril 2024.
