Consultancy opportunity with The Freedom Fund

Technical Assistance under the PEMS funded Ethiopia Hotspot

The Freedom Fund Ethiopia Hotspot seeks an innovative consultant (or team) to provide on-the-ground coaching and technical expertise in aspects of data collection and analysis to strengthen partners' capacity to understand and use their data for improved programming. The ideal consultant will be able to inform how partners assess and interpret the data they collect against the proposed outcomes from their work, and firmly ground that understanding in the skillset of the partner staff.

 

This technical assistance opportunity will work towards the following objectives:

1. Ensure partners have a strong understanding of their data collection tools and how these correspond to reporting outcomes from their projects and the hotspot outcome indicators.
2. Enable partners to articulate their achievements based upon quantitative and qualitative data indicators.
3. Develop supplementary guidance documents and tools that will support the above objectives.

Areas of work include:

Harnessing Tools for Data Collection and Analysis through iterative processes

• Review of the existing data collection tools, providing support to adjust tools to ensure confidence and usefulness for program reporting (against TIP Logframe and Freedom Fund reporting)
• Develop strong understanding of the linkage of activities – outputs – outcomes and how this is utilised in reporting
• Instilling a common practice amongst all partners on interpretation, use and analysis of the data collected and how they articulate this consistently in their reporting
• Developing some additional tools for remaining gaps in data collection, for example to track and measure policy & advocacy contributions to change

 Providing tool refinement and tailored coaching to partners on specific tools that have been created for the program, to ensure applicability and consistency according to the needs of partners. These tools include:

• An impact assessment tool for the sustainability of reintegration of survivors of exploitation and trafficking
• A measurement of behaviour change over time tool for employers of child domestic workers and child domestic workers themselves
• A measurement of recruitment actors compliance tool based on key practices for safer international labour migration
• A risk assessment tool and protocol with compilation of data to support analysis and referral
• Establishing coordination mechanisms between partners to harness and manage these tools

 Designing a dashboard for partners to reflect on their impact (based on partner quarterly report data)

• To support partners to make sense of their data, see trends emerging, and inform broader programming decisions

 Understanding and Using Data (utilising examples from PEMS program data)

• Grounding partners’ understanding of the value of the data they collect and how it relates to the way they report about the achievements of their projects.
• Explaining the purpose of data collection at the individual level for its contribution to validating change at the collective level (the Hotspot MEL System)
• Agreeing a ‘checklist’ of best practices when using data to explain the changes and impact of their work (Analysis)

If you have a strong ability to explain concepts of data collection, interpretation and reporting, and have experience providing mentorship and coaching to ensure adoption of new practices across civil society organisations in Ethiopia, please read the attached Terms of Reference to learn how to apply.

Dear Colleagues,

Here is the link to the vacancy -  https://jobs.undp.org/cj_view_job.cfm?cur_job_id=115272. We have extended the vacancy to 1 March 2024. I would request you to please circulate this in your networks.

The Building Back Equal (BBE) project aims to enhance the resilience of women's livelihoods, particularly those who are most marginalized, such as survivors of violence against women (VAW) and elderly women, across Dominica, Grenada, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The project focuses on bolstering access to comprehensive social protection packages tailored to reduce unpaid care work burdens, alongside establishing reliable referral pathways inclusive of sexual and reproductive health services. Strengthening healthcare systems to ensure quality sexual and reproductive health services for women and youth is also a pivotal aspect of the project's strategy.

The project's theory of change hinges on the premise that by expanding access to subsidized childcare, reliable sexual and reproductive health services, climate and shock-responsive social protection, and opportunities for innovative financing and environmentally-friendly business practices, women, particularly the most marginalized, will achieve economic resilience. This resilience, in turn, is anticipated to enhance productivity and contribute to national development, thereby fostering a more equitable society. Under the auspices of UN Women, the project is structured to address critical areas such as childcare, eldercare, and care for persons with disabilities, while also examining gender dynamics within taxation policies to promote equality.

The Gender and Development Economist, operating under the supervision of UN Women, will spearhead two crucial studies: the Care Economy Study and the Gender, Taxation, and Equality Study. These studies aim to elucidate the nuances of care work, both paid and unpaid, and its economic impact, while also scrutinizing tax policies for their gender implications. By conducting comprehensive research and delivering actionable recommendations, these studies endeavor to inform policy decisions and foster dialogue among stakeholders, including policymakers, parliamentarians, civil society organizations, and private sector entities, to drive meaningful change towards gender equality and inclusive economic development in the target countries.
