Message from UNDP Vietnam Procurement Unit

Dear colleagues and friends,

The United Nations in Viet Nam seeks one international early recovery consultant from May to September 2010 to improve the capacity and performance of the Early Recover Cluster in the country.

Vietnam is a country prone to natural disasters. The country is regularly hit by dozen powerful typhoons every year, causing great loss of assets and human lives. Typhoon Ketsana hit the Central region of Viet Nam on September 29th 2009, and caused significant damage to infrastructure, crops and livelihoods.

In dealing with the aftermath of this and other subsequent disasters, the government distributed food and emergency support to the affected regions. NGOs and UN agencies have also supported the national efforts through the provision of medications, food, non-food items and shelter material.

However, lessons learnt from this particular event show that there is a clear need for proper early recovery assessment in planning in order to ensure that affected individuals are able to recover completely and to link emergency relief to longer-term sustainable development plans already in place in the country. The early recovery (ER) cluster - consisting of the United Nations agencies, international NGOs, the Red Cross and other national partners was activated along with health, WASH, education, nutrition and livelihood clusters.

In order to improve the capacity of the clusters to provide support to early recovery activities to enable people to recover from such disasters, an international consultant, with extensive knowledge and experience in early recovery is urgently needed.

Full solicitation documents can be obtained by visiting UN website at:
