Terms of Reference Operational Context Afghanistan is experiencing a humanitarian crisis of unprecedented scale, exacerbated by the critical economic crisis, high levels of poverty, natural disasters (earthquakes, drought, and floods). Some 23.7 million people – more than half of Afghanistan's 44 million population require humanitarian assistance, of which 15.8 million people are likely facing acute food insecurity, and at least one million children at risk of severe acute malnutrition. Human rights have deteriorated in Afghanistan, particularly against women and girls, following the December 2022 and April 2023 bans against women and girls. In 2024, it is projected that economic instability and growing humanitarian needs, compounded by secondary displacement, natural disasters, abuses of human rights, sporadic attacks, and armed clashes may continue to displace Afghans. Internal displacement is also likely to persist. On 3 October 2023, the Government of Pakistan announced plans to repatriate 'illegal foreigners'. In view of the ongoing humanitarian and human rights concerns for Afghans, particularly for women and girls, UNHCR and IOM issued a joint statement urging Pakistan to maintain the protection space for Afghans in need of safety. This was followed by a joint statement by UNHCR. IOM and UNICEF which appealed for the protection of children and families seeking safety in Pakistan. On 10 November, UNHCR declared an internal Level 2 emergency for Pakistan and Afghanistan for six months to scale up the humanitarian response in light of the rapidly evolving situation.. As of March 2024, over 500,000 Afghans have returned from Pakistan as a result of phase one of the Illegal Foreigners Repatriation Plan (IFRP) of which 83,000 were Proof of Registration (PoR) cardholders, or UNHCR slipholder/asylum seekers. The majority of those returning cite the use of police force and harassment as one of the drivers to return. Arrivals back to Afghanistan are also adding to the worsening humanitarian crisis, to a country with over 3.2 Million internally displaced persons due to conflict. As the Government of Pakistan prepares for Phase 2 of the IFRP, primarily focused on the estimated 803,000 ACC card holders, it is important to note that there are 1.35M registered Afghan Refugees who might be directly or indirectly impacted as was seen at Phase 1 of the IFRP. . According to UNHCR and IOM projections, approximately 908,000 Afghans are expected to require support at the border points between now and December 2024. Of this number, 197,000 are PoR Cardholders and Asylum seekers, 450,000 are ACC cardholders, and the remaining 261,000 are undocumented Afghans.. The sudden surge in returns is expected to put pressure on already strained resources, including shelter and basic services. Additional support is urgently required. UNHCR and partners in Pakistan and Afghanistan are currently working together to ensure a harmonized and coordinated cross-border response to this new emergency. To support these efforts an update to the interagency Border Consortium Appeal from 8 November 2023, is in the works, and will be launched in Mid April 2024. In addition, UNHCR and partners are also stepping up their presence in and around Torkham and Chaman border crossing points and accelerating efforts to ensure protection-sensitive mechanisms are in place via regular border monitoring visits and protection screenings to identify and assist people with heightened vulnerabilities and needs.

WHAT IS STRATEGIC FORESIGHT? The violence of climate risks, the crisis of debt post COVID-19, an uneven embrace of technology infrastructure, concerning rise in digital risks, uncertain political unrest – point to development futures that are increasingly uncertain. How can we ensure that the authority in which we make decisions today consider its impact on a future that doesn't yet exist, and yet its impact will resonate in that future. To grapple with this uncertainty requires taking both a long-term perspective and being anticipatory in the face of emerging realities. This goes beyond just reliance on one tool or method, but a much more intentional approach to grapple with liminality, push past traditional shackles of short-term programming and planning and challenge our assumptions, mental models and values that have shaped our governance approaches to date. UNDP is embracing and embedding both the practice of anticipation and foresight into our internal policies and strategic pathways, as well as how we support our partners. We do this to 'hedge our bets' on the future – that we cannot any longer rely on static ideas of governance but rather a much more holistic, adaptive, wider metropolis that proactively identifies emerging risks, opportunities and changing tides is the only way in which we can ensure our policies are fit not just for today, but for tomorrow. UNDP is taking an applied systems approach of foresight to build the processes, knowledge, capabilities, and culture to be anticipatory, in our internal ways of working, and in what we offer externally. The ability to be anticipatoryto act in preparation of 'what could happen'is the learned skill and application of foresight. To achieve this, a roster of Strategic Foresight consultants will help provide advisory on design and implementation to UNDP's offices and governments on anticipatory governance and applied foresight. SCOPE OF WORK, RESPONSIBILITIES AND DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED WORK To support, test and apply foresight methodologies in line with the UNDP Strategic Foresight vision to inform better anticipatory decision making and risk management.

At UNDP (United Nations Development Programme), we are on a mission to end poverty, build democratic governance, rule of law, and inclusive institutions around the world. UNDP is the United Nations' global sustainable development organization working across 170 countries. The UNDP Global Policy Network (GPN) draws on expertise globally to provide more effective responses to the complex development challenges countries face in achieving the SDGs and responding to crisis in an integrated and coherent manner. Anchored in the Crisis Bureau (CB) and the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS), the GPN has the responsibility for developing all relevant policy and guidance to support the results of UNDP's Strategic Plan, which is aligned with the 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Inclusive, ethical and sustainable data collection, management, use and analysis is fundamental for UNDP's work on the ground eradicating poverty while protecting the planet. UNDP's reach and multidisciplinary expertise makes it well placed as an integrator, but without proper use and understanding of data across all our offices globally, we will always fall short of being fully and confidently evidence-based in our decision making, implementation and support to governments and the people we serve.
