The Centre for European Studies looks for database expert within “Climate and conflicts: Redress and prevention” project. It is a two-year project supported by the Global Campus of Human Rights and Right Livelihood partnership project implemented by two Campuses – Global Campus Caucasus (Yerevan State University) and Global Campus Central Asia (OSCE Academy, Bishkek). It addresses the human rights challenges posed by war, conflicts, poor governance, and environmental degradation in three key regions: Nagorno Karabakh, Transnistria, and the Fergana Valley.
The key responsibilities of the Database expert are:
- Review, contribute and adopt to the national context the draft methodology for identifying and analyzing the resources in the Fergana Valley (Batken region) and Armenia (Nagorno Karabakh and bordering communities in Armenia). This includes defining the approach, tools, techniques, ethical considerations, and participatory research methods.
- Participate and contribute to the methodological workshop for the experts in charge of the mapping to review digital services and platforms for accessing information, including opportunities for registration and participation in decision-making processes.
- Participate to the preliminarily arranged bilateral and multilateral meetings (mostly online) among experts and the project staff.
- Conduct research using the developed methodology to identify the current civil society landscape in the countries, including civil society organizations (CSOs), communities, and other relevant actors. This may also include local ground travel to the regions.
- Create an analytical report based on the collected data, including profiles of actors in the countries. The report should analyze NGOs, mahallas, community organizations (such as youth, women’s, and children’s initiatives, and ethnic associations), and reflect the types of interactions between these organizations, their roles and functions in issues related to climate change and peacebuilding, as well as their involvement and role in conflicts and resource distribution.
- Develop a database and an analytical report that summarizes the synergies, efforts, gaps, and connections between the stakeholders identified in the Fergana Valley and Armenia, focusing on both the Nagorno-Karabakh case and emerging risks due to climate-induced conflicts in the Fergana Valley. The report will be designed and send for the revision by the database experts.
