Background
Guinea’s defense and security forces have been a source of instability for the country due to their lack of professionalism, ethnic and generational divergences, as well as records of human rights abuses on civilians. The joint ECOWAS/AU/UN (composed of UNOWA, UNDP and DPKO) Security Sector Assessment (SSA) mission requested by the international community during the transitional period (December 2008–December 2010) resulted in a comprehensive report released on 4 May 2010 to the national transitional authorities. This report constitutes a guideline for the implementation of the security sector reform in Guinea.
The swearing-in of newly elected President Alpha Condé on 21 December 2010 marked the completion of the country’s return to constitutional order. Mindful of the importance of reforming the national security and defense forces, President Condé kept the portfolio of national defense under his direct authority.  In an official letter to the SRSG for West Africa dated 6 January 2011, President Alpha Condé requested the United Nations’ assistance in implementing the security sector reform process in Guinea. In addition, on 24 January 2011, the Government of Guinea formally requested the Peacebuilding Commission (PBC) to support Guinea in three priority areas: 1) Youth and Women Employment Policy; 2) The promotion of national reconciliation and unity, particularly in relation to electoral tensions; 3) the Security and Defense Sector Reform. As a result, Guinea was officially placed on the agenda of the PBC on 23 February 2011 following the PBC Organizational Committee’s meeting with Ambassador Sylvie Lucas of Luxembourg as Chair of the Country-specific Configuration for Guinea.
Following the UN Policy Committee meeting on Guinea on 8 February 2011, the Secretary-General decided that “UNOWA and UNDP, with the support of DPKO and other members of the Inter-Agency Task Force on Security Sector Reform, will support and mobilize resources for the immediate implementation of SSR based on the recommendations of the joint ECOWAS AU/UN assessment report, and in close coordination with Guinea’s partners.”
In this context, a national seminar on SSR was organized from 28 to 31 March 2011, with the financial and technical support of UNDP, PBF, UNOWA and DPKO, to review the recommendations from the Joint ECOWAS/AU/UN SSA report and develop an inclusive roadmap for the implementation of the SSR programme. Guinea’s National SSR Steering Committee (Comité national de pilotage de la réforme du secteur de la sécurité en Guinée (CNP-RSS)) was officially launched on 21 June 2011 by presidential decree. The CNP-RSS is comprised of two Commissions (the Strategic Orientation Commission and the Technical Monitoring Commission) and five sectoral technical committees (Defence, Justice, Police and Civilian Protection, Customs, Water and Forestry).
On 5 October 2011, the President of Guinea, in an official letter to the Secretary-General, requested the UN to provide high level political support and strategic advice for the implementation of the SSR process. In response, the Secretary-General instructed the UN Secretariat to deploy a permanent UN SSR advisory team for Guinea.
A Senior SSR Advisor was deployed to Conakry in May 2012 to lead the setting-up of a strategic advisory political team on SSR in-country to (i) provide advice and assistance to national authorities in advocating globally for the SSR reform process as well as support resource mobilization exercise for the national SSR programme and priority action plans for 2012-2015; and (ii) coordinate efforts with UNDP SSR technical team, other UN partners and the international community in Conakry. The project was established for an initial six months. Start-up activities, in this first phase of the project have therefore focused, amongst others on1) building an environment of trust and positive collaboration with the national authorities; 2) reenergizing the work of the CNP-RSS; 3) refocus the work at the strategic level to provide the necessary framework for the technical work; 4) establishing a network with both international and national partners; and 5) building a coherent strategy for the UNCT on security sector reform.  In light of the delayed start of the project, much work still remains to be completed under OUPTPUT 1: Providing necessary policy and strategic advice to the national stakeholders to effectively implement the national SSR strategy; and OUTPUT 3: Supporting the resource mobilization strategy.
The Project Manager Specialist will be responsible for the management and implementation of the Strategic Advisor SSR Project.

Background

Le projet aborde le problème de l’érosion continue de la biodiversité en Haïti et celui de l’efficacité limitée des aires protégées (APs) dans leur fonction de conservation de la biodiversité (BD), due au fait de leur accès limité à des fonds de financement fiables. Il tente de répondre à cette double problématique en promouvant les investissements de l’Etat dans les APs, en vertu de leur importance dans le développement national et dans la réduction de la vulnérabilité ; en augmentant l’efficacité et le rendement des fonds disponibles; en diversifiant les sources de revenus des APs.
Le projet veut provoquer ainsi un changement qualitatif et significatif dans la fonctionnalité et la durabilité du système des APs en permettant que la BD, de grande importance et cependant menacée, soit l’objet d’une conservation efficace dans le pays, et en créant les conditions nécessaires à une future expansion du système des APs de manière à couvrir des sites actuellement sous-représentés.
Ce projet se concentre sur l’établissement de bases institutionnelles permettant au Système National d’Aires Protégées (SNAP) d’être financièrement durable, en stimulant les investissements destinés à la gestion des APs, en augmentant l’efficacité de l’emploi des ressources disponibles, et en réduisant les coûts de la gestion des APs pour le Gouvernement.
Le projet est particulièrement opportun car il fait suite à la déclaration de 2006 relative au SNAP et à la création de l’Agence Nationale d’Aires Protégées (ANAP), les deux étant mentionnées dans le Décret Cadre sur l’Environnement. Le projet SNAP qui est dans sa phase d’implémentation à partir du mois de janvier 2011, vise d’ici juin 2014 la conception et l’initiation effective de la mise en œuvre d’un cadre opérationnel et financier intégré pour assurer sur le long terme la durabilité du Système National des Aires Protégées dans le pays.
L’objectif principal du projet est qu’en juin 2014, Haïti aura mis en œuvre un Système National d’Aires Protégées. Les résultats escomptés à la fin du projet sont :
  • Amélioration du système de gouvernance des APs, soutenue par des politiques, lois et institutions compétentes permettant un meilleur rapport coût-utilisation efficace des fonds disponibles pour la gestion des APs.
  • Promotion de partenariats pour augmenter la durabilité sociale, écologique et financière des APs.
  • Diversification des sources de revenus des APs afin d’augmenter les revenus et réduire la vulnérabilité aux fluctuations de financement.
L’Agence Nationale des Aires Protégées  The ANAP has not been implemented yet and is not able to manage the NPAS appropriately. Given the country's PA reality and the financial constraints of the Government, the expansion of PAs is not a valid short term option.  Instead the Government is seeking to implement a financially and technically viable NPAS first, based on operational standards and long term strategic plans, increased partnerships and involvement of local communitities and private sector whenever possible, and diversification of income sources for the PA units, their buffer zones and the entire NPAS.(ANAP), entité créée par le décret cadre de 2005 sur la gestion de l’Environnement et rendue opérationnelle cette année (2012) est la structure de gestion des Aires Protégées haïtiennes. Elle est l’organe exécutif du Système National des Aires Protégées (SNAP) et coordonne le Projet « Établissement d’un Système National d’Aires Protégées financièrement soutenable » (Projet  SNAP).
Haïti est confrontée à de graves problèmes environnementaux suscitant un intérêt dans de nombreux secteurs. La dégradation continue de l'environnement conduit, dans de nombreux cas, à des situations quasi irréversibles, ce qui limite les possibilités pour le pays à faire face aux catastrophes naturelles et d'assurer son développement économique et social. Afin de mieux répondre à ce problème, le gouvernement haïtien cherche à mobiliser des ressources pour le développement et la mise en œuvre des projets / programmes pour la réhabilitation de l'environnement et de la conservation des ressources naturelles.
Comme de nombreux pays du Sud, Haïti n'échappe pas au problème de l'absence de mécanismes crédibles financiers consacrés au secteur de l'environnement - ce qui constitue un obstacle majeur à la mobilisation des ressources et la coordination de leur utilisation afin de compenser l'effondrement de l'intégrité écologique des systèmes.
Les aires protégées en Haïti sont actuellement sous-financées.Thus, financial barriers constrain efforts to ensure biodiversity conservation in the existing PA estate as well as the long-term goal of expanding the PA estate to cover ecosystem gaps.  The project will design and implement legal and policy changes so that PA management institutions and individual PA Units are better able to generate, manage, and allocate financial resources, and will demonstrate pilot activities in the three most important PAs in the country to test the potential, determine standards and build capacities for revenue generating activities.  By the end of the project, the gap between funding levels for NPAS PAs and the budget required for effective management of these PAs will have decreased to 25% through mechanisms applicable in the short term (increased revenues from visitor fees, tourism concessions, payment of water provision and allocation from the Environmental Rehabilitation Fund) and will be further reduced through consolidated management savings. Il s’avère donc indispensable de mettre en œuvre un SNAP viable sur le plan financier et technique, basé sur les normes opérationnelles et les plans stratégiques à long terme, la multiplication des partenariats et la participation des communautés locales et du secteur privé, autant que possible, et la diversification des sources de revenu pour les unités des APs, leurs zones tampons et le SNAP entier. All the different PA management systems will be consolidated in a NPAS that will manage PAs under different ownerships but under the same national standards and objectives.  The NPAS is intended to build on existing institutions, but will institute an overarching political and strategic framework to coordinate the establishment, administration, management and financing of public and private PAs in both the terrestrial and marine environments.
L’une des activités identifiées consiste à élaborer une stratégie nationale de gestion du SNAP. En effet, l’élaboration d’une stratégie nationale de gestion des aires protégées répond à un besoin pour le Système National d’Aires Protégées (SNAP) d’orienter et de réglementer la gestion stratégique des aires protégées (APs) du pays selon des critères et des méthodes uniformes de planification. En outre, les plans de gestion fournissent des documents techniques et politiques qui formulent des directives
générales de conservation, de gestion et de développement des APs.
C’est un outil essentiel pour la planification et la gestion des APs qui :
  • définit et contribue à la gestion et à la conservation des APs;
  • contient des lignes directrices, des directives et des politiques relatives à l'administration de la zone;
  • établit des stratégies de gestion, l'affectation des usages et des activités
    permises;
  • contient des instructions relatives à la protection et au développement de l'AP.
Comme le SNAP est appelé à en mettre en place un cadre général politique et stratégique pour coordonner les créations, l'administration, la gestion et le financement des aires protégées publiques et privées, dans les environnements terrestres et marins et dans le but de doter le SNAP d’outils de gestion rentable, le projet désire recruter deux  experts en financement des aires protégées afin d’élaborer une stratégie de gestion financière du SNAP.

  • Étape 1. Première évaluation du potentiel économique des 3 Aires protégées prioritaires
