Background and context
The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) has been providing relief and development services in the Horn of Africa since 1997 using a protection of human rights framework, DRC supports refugees, migrants, internally displaced populations and other persons affected by crises in both urban and rural settings.
In Somalia, DRC/DDG is among the INGOs with the largest presence, with country-wide programmes implemented through six main sub offices in Somaliland, Puntland, Hirran Region, Gedo Region, Bay Region and Banadir Region. Because we are there, DRC/DDG is able to respond rapidly and flexibly to recurrent crises and the needs of Somalis who are affected by humanitarian crises. Activities implemented range from WASH, Shelter and Non Food Items (NFIs), Protection, Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL), Mine Action and Armed Violence Reduction (AVR).
In Protection, the key program components include Gender Based Violence (GBV) prevention and response; child protection, mixed migration programming, legal aid including housing, land and property issues, as well as return and (re)integration. Support targets provided to internally displaced persons, refugees, returnees, host communities and capacity building for local authorities.

Purpose
DRC has identified critical gaps in the provision of evidence based, systematic, reliable and verifiable data and information on protection concerns in Somalia to inform decision making as well as planning of appropriate interventions. Many humanitarian and development actors in Somalia rely on limited information on Protection needs often obtained on had hoc basis and from a few actors, more so, collected from a few locations. Further, the information is not always sourced directly from the community or with full participation of the displacement affected communities.
DRC plans to bridge these critical gaps by providing evidence based information on Protection Concerns in Somalia/Somaliland to humanitarian and development actors. DRC will work with the displacement affected communities to schematically monitor and document the protection concerns across all locations. The information collected will be analysed and shared on need basis with relevant response and prevention mechanisms.

On the basis of the above, DRC is looking for a consultant to develop a web based Protection Information Management system that will allow DRC to collect, verify, analyze and visualize Protection related information over a long period of time.

THE CHALLENGE

ECW is seeking proposals for bold ideas to help address the billion-dollar finance gap for education in emergencies and protracted crises. Ideas should be substantive and have the potential to raise at least US$50 million per year continually (or US$100 million total once, if a onetime effort). Sources should allow the provision of grant funding as ECW is committed to providing equal and free education.

GOAL AND DELIVERABLE

The goal of the Challenge is to surface new and actionable ideas for large scale resource mobilization efforts with a real potential for implementation. Deliverable of the Challenge will be a unique idea and a business plan for implementation.

THE PRIZE

ECW will award up to three prizes of up to US$25,000 to those who can offer the best, most innovative and credible idea and a business plan for resource mobilization. In addition to the cash prize, ECW may consider supporting the implementation of winning proposals with seed funding.

TIMELINE

• Learn more during a webinar in July, 2018
• Submit your idea by July 31, midnight in New York.
• Present your idea to our Grand Jury, potentially in person, at the margins of the UN General Assembly in the
  third week of September 2018.
• Turn your top three award-winning idea into a business plan for implementation by January 31, 2019.
• Continue to work with us and bring education to children and youth in emergencies.

IDEAS WE ARE LOOKING FOR

1. Bold and large-scale: Ideas should be substantive and have the potential to raise at least US$50 million per year if they are for a continual resource mobilization effort or US$100 million total once, if they for a onetime resource mobilization effort)
2. Grant funding: Education in emergencies and protracted crisis requires grant funding as ECW supports children and youth with free education. The proposed idea should mobilize resources that lend themselves to finance free education.
3. Funding for education in emergencies and protracted crisis: Resources mobilized should be without restrictions to finance education in emergencies and protracted crisis in countries affected by conflict and war, natural disasters, pandemics, or refugee crisis and internal displacement.
4. New sources of finance: ECW is seeking to identify and tap non-traditional sources of financing beyond bilateral donor contributions and mainstream philanthropy. Proposed ideas should not compete with or crowd out existing funding for education in emergencies.
5. ECW mission and humanitarian principles: Resources mobilized should not conflict with the ECW vision to create a world where all children and youth affected by crisis can learn free of cost, in safety and without fear in order to grow and reach the full potential. They also should not conflict with the humanitarian principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality, and independence
