Expression of Interest : Consulting Service for Procurement Specialist Somalia Urban Resilience Project Phase Two (SURP II or the Project ) aims to enhance the resilience of select cities, with a particular focus on supporting physical infrastructure by financing investments in priority urban infrastructure. The Project will also strengthen the municipal government’s capacity and foster confidence in local structures, while supporting cooperation between the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS), Federal Member States (FMS), and municipal governments. Furthermore, the Project aims to help strengthen social resilience by fostering social cohesion and supporting infrastructure that benefits both host communities and internally displaced persons, ensuring investments are prioritized through a participatory, evidence based and inclusive decision-making process. Government-citizen trust will be at the core of the Project, with communities engaged at all stages of project design, implementation, and monitoring. The Project was approved in December 2019 and is expected to close on 31st December 2024. The immediate project beneficiaries will be the residents in close proximity to the selected community and urban roads in the cities of Mogadishu, Baidoa, Garowe and Kismayo, including those affected by forced displacement (i.e. Internally Displaced Persons [IDPs] and returnees) where secondary road rehabilitation and construction is to be carried out. In addition, community members, including IDP and females will benefit from short-term income generation opportunities, resulting from the civil works of these secondary roads. Municipal, State, and Federal Governments will benefit from institutional strengthening through managing implementation and capacity building initiatives. Preparatory activities, such as establishment of Project Implementation Units (PIUs), training and feasibility studies of priority infrastructure, will begin in Beledweyne (Hirshabelle) and Dhusamareeb (Galmudug) in due course. The Hirshabelle Ministry of Public Works, Reconstruction and Housing is seeking to use a portion of the SURP-II funds to finance the recruitment of a Procurement Specialist for Beledweyne PIU.
