Les projets précédents mis en œuvre par les agences du Système des Nations Unies et les Organisations de la Société Civile ont générées des acquis non négligeables, notamment sur l'engagement des jeunes dans le processus de prévention des conflits et de consolidation de la paix. Malgré ces acquis, le contexte du pays reste assez fragile et le spiral des crises cycliques continue à menacer la stabilité qui s'est instaurée depuis ces dernières années.Quoique Madagascar ne connaisse pas des conflits ouverts, il fait face à des tensions sociales palpables exacerbées par le contexte de crise mondiale (impact de la pandémie de la Covid 19, l'augmentation du prix de l'énergie...) et des phénomènes de vulnérabilité au niveau national (événements météorologiques violents, inflation...). Ces facteurs fragilisent davantage une frange de la population déjà marginalisée, constituée principalement des enfants, des jeunes et des femmes. Ces foyers de tensions résultant de la pauvreté multidimensionnelle associée à une situation d'inégalité sociale de plus en plus flagrante ont besoin d'une attention particulière afin de ne pas se transformer en confrontations ouvertes, notamment lors des situations socio-politiques tendues souvent observées à la veille des échéances électorales. En effet, des facteurs sociaux latents combinés à des éléments déclencheurs ponctuels (comme des manifestations de rue et affrontements avec les forces de l'ordre) peuvent très vite mettre en branle une situation de crise pouvant paralyser l'ensemble du pays.A l'image des crises socio-politiques récurrentes des cinq (5) dernières décennies, les sentiments de frustration et de marginalisation des jeunes constituent un facteur moteur des événements qui ont déstabilisé le pays. Souvent mal préparés et non encadrés par des structures appropriées, les jeunes sont à chaque fois instrumentalisés et piégés par des enjeux politiques qui ne répondent pas forcément à leurs réelles préoccupations. Un certain nombre de paramètres socio-économiques et politiques laissent à craindre que ce risque soit de plus en plus avéré dans le contexte actuel à la veille des prochaines échéances électorales de 2023/2024.Pour faire face à ces défis, le projet « Jeunes femmes et hommes, acteurs du changement social engagés dans la prévention des conflits et la consolidation de la paix à Madagascar » mis en œuvre conjointement par PNUD, UNFPA et UNICEF vise à (i) Appuyer la structuration et le renforcement de capacités des jeunes leur permettant d'agir en faveur de la consolidation de la paix ; (ii) Accompagner leur inclusion dans les prises de décision concernant les processus de la vie publique et sur leur interaction avec les institutions, (iii) Promotion les initiatives innovantes de consolidation de la paix portées par ces jeunes femmes et hommes.   Position PurposeSous du Représentant Résident et la supervision du Team leader gouvernance du PNUD, le specialiste de projet de projet a pour missions de coordonner toutes les composantes du projet mises en œuvre par les trois agences (PNUD, UNFPA, UNICEF) pour l'atteinte des résultats de consolidation de la paix préalablement fixés.Sa responsabilité première sera la consolidation de la planification opérationnelle, la supervision et le suivi-évaluation de la mise en œuvre du projet.
