Consultant (Forced Evictions), Home Based Kenya

The objective of this consultancy is to prepare a relevant and current publication that informs policy makers and stakeholders around the world about different types of forced evictions and proven alternatives, using specific case studies, and drawing heavily from six years' of AGFE's missions and reports. The final report will be published in hard copy and electronic format, and is intended to be launched at the 23rd session of the Governing Council of UN-HABIATT (11-15 April 2011). The report is expected to create awareness regarding the causes, scale, repercussions of forced evictions, and how sustainable alternatives can be developed.
In carrying out this work, the consultant will review the body of work produced to date by AGFE, and consult additional expert sources (material available on the internet, previous HABITAT publications, etc.) in order to update some of the cases examined by AGFE, and present original analyses and recommendations supported by thorough research and literature review. In the course of this work, the consultant will select 10 case studies that together illustrate the diversity of issues and factors involved in forced evictions, and present relevant and proven sustainable alternatives. Cases will be selected according to how well they illustrate different contexts, with an aim to achieve the broadest representation possible according to the following characteristics:
Geographical Impetus for eviction (e.g., due to: legal conflict; removal of informal/illegal settlements; infrastructure/commercial development; environmental/health issues; re-zoning; natural disasters/potential for flooding; ethnic tensions)
Effected population (indigenous, minority, income level)
Scale of eviction
Political / legal context
The final report will provide useful information for practitioners and development partners, including: processes and resources for monitoring evictions globally; relevant national and international legal frameworks; insights and tools for managing evictions in a socially sustainable manner; and identification of priorities for further research.
