Background: Over last few years, Sudan has witnessed proliferation of small arms in the communities and these small arms have become an integral part of the second tier conflicts all over the country. Competition over resources coupled with political connotations of the civil war has resulted in persistent localized conflicts rendering the communities insecure. The war also resulted in lapse of traditional systems of conflict resolution and socio-economic infrastructure of the communities and hence rendering the communities instable and unsuitable for undertaking effective reintegration of ex-combatants. UNDDR plans to support the initiatives of the government in this field to create an enabling atmosphere for sustainable reintegration of ex-combatants. Community Security and Arms Control (CSAC) interventions are closely linked with DDR. Any focus on the longer term reintegration of ex-combatants must be accompanied by the improvement of community security that focus on both the families of ex-combatants and their respective communities of return, without which sustainable reintegration cannot succeed. Community Security project therefore is designed to aim at addressing the root causes of conflicts occurring at the community level. The CSAC interventions consist of development/construction component (hard component) and capacity development and reconciliation component (soft component), focusing on sustainability of peace in the long-term at community level. As part of the CSAC hard component activities, UNDP Sudan requires the services of a qualified Civil Engineer to develop design specifications, Bill of Quantities (BOQ), Scope of Work, etc. and monitor construction/development work at target sites in North Sudan.
