Description

Project Context and Scope The Philippines is especially prone to sudden onset hazards such as cyclones, which oftentimes trigger floods and landslides. It is ranked the fourth most affected country in the world by disasters in the last decade, according to Global Climate Risk Index 2021. With over 7,000 islands and over 36,000 kilometers of coastline, approximately 74 per cent of the population and 60 per cent of the land area is exposed to numerous hazards including cyclones, earthquakes, floods, landslides and tsunamis, among others. Disasters can cause unexpected loss of land and lives, and a reduction or complete destruction of means of livelihoods, putting those without safety nets into situations of poverty. They can result in households having to reduce food intake, borrow money, spend savings and move abroad for work, or they can result in more immediate displacement as people search for safety and/or a means of income to help restore their lives. This can lead to increased cases of human trafficking in regions already affected by this issue or lead to the creation of new “hotspots” for trafficking. Indeed, the 2020 US State Department Trafficking in Persons highlights traffickers exploiting women and children in “disaster-affected areas.” This contributes to an already concerning trafficking picture in the Philippines, a country estimated to be among the top ten countries in the world for absolute numbers of people in situations of trafficking or modern slavery. Region V (Bicol) is most prone to sudden onset events particularly disruptive typhoons, heavy rainfalls and floods, with Typhoon Rolly (Goni) in 2020 as the most recent, affecting thousands of families and damaging more than Php 16.2 million worth of agri-infrastructure. Bicol has high dependence on climate-sensitive resources and livelihoods (such as fishing and agriculture) and with a population of 6,082,165 based on the 2020 census, it also hosts a large number of Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) returnees. The objective of the second phase of the CREATE Project is to further contribute to reducing risks of human trafficking and re-trafficking by supporting climate-resilient and trafficking-aware communities in hotspots in the Philippines. The project will continue to build awareness and understanding of the climate change - human trafficking nexus and enhance the impacts of interventions aimed at addressing it. One particular output in which this consultancy will contribute is the development of a safe migration pocketbook containing information on services, with migrants and community members as the target audience. Organizational Department / Unit to which the Consultant is contributing The consultancy will be managed by the Climate Unit (CU) of the Legazpi Sub-Office.
