To help build a stronger understanding of and national consensus on federalism in Somalia, CDI and FOF intend to develop a series of “Discussion Papers” (currently planned to be in a Q&A format). These are to be developed with inputs from federal governance subject matter experts but with the principal focus to be on the actual debates, issues, concerns and aspirations of Somalis. To ensure that the papers are grounded in the realities of Somalia, and to maximize their potential impact on political discourse and future negotiations, the consultation dimension of this work is as important as the subject matter content. Working with the project team, the role of the Consultant is to lead the design of a consultations plan and support its implementation. This aims to ensure proper application of the most appropriate, state-of-the-art methods for consultations with important stakeholders involved in federal governance debates in Somalia.  This assignment does not entail travel to Somalia and is expected to be conducted remotely (ie, using email, Google Docs, Zoom, etc.).

Please submit by 25 May, 2020 to Consult.Somalia@gmail.com [deadline extended]
