Team Leader, Final Performance Evaluation of the USAID Graduation with Resilience to Achieve Sustainable Development (GRAD) Activity, Ethiopia

Social Impact (SI) is a Washington, DC-area international development management consulting firm. SI’s mission is to improve the effectiveness of international development programs in improving people’s lives. We provide a full range of management consulting, technical assistance, and training services to strengthen international development programs, organizations, and policies. We provide services globally in the areas of monitoring and evaluation, strategic planning, project and program design, organizational capacity building, and gender and social analysis. SI services cross-cut all development sectors including democracy and governance, health and education, the environment, and economic growth. SI’s clients include US government agencies such as USAID, the Millennium Challenge Corporation, the US Department of State, bilateral donors, multilateral development banks, foundations, and non-profits.

Project Objective:

Social Impact, Inc., through Ethiopia Performance Monitoring and Evaluation Services (EPMES) activity, will conduct the final performance evaluation of the Graduation with Resilience to Achieve Sustainable Development (GRAD) activity to assess program results and document lessons learned. The evaluation will focus on assessing the activity’s five year performance in achieving its program goal, objectives, and results.

GRAD was designed to support and enhance livelihood options of the chronically food insecure households by promoting and supporting on-and off-farm income generating activities, facilitating output and input market linkages, and increasing access to microfinance services. The activity is meant to support the Government of Ethiopia’s safety net and food security programming. GRAD complements Ethiopia’s Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP) to accelerate the graduation of targeted beneficiaries from PSNP by supporting selected commodity value chains. The activity promotes alternative livelihood options through greater access to inputs and credit and saving services, while reducing transaction costs and strengthening market linkages in chronically food insecure areas.

The main purpose of this final performance evaluation of GRAD is to examine its development outcomes or results at higher and intermediate levels and the extent to which GRAD has met its goals, and determine the overall effectiveness of the partnerships, and any strengths and challenges in the courses of implementation.

Specifically, the evaluation will assess or identify:

i. The key components of GRAD with regard to achieving the objectives and targets, including the cross-cutting gender objective;

ii. The effectiveness of the livelihood diversification (on and off-farms), nutrition, climate change adaptation and gender related activities promoted by GRAD

iii. The major types and values of assets developed by the GRAD beneficiaries and their level of access to financial services and markets.

iv. The strengths and weaknesses in project management (planning, implementation and monitoring) and effectiveness in delivery of the desired services and inputs to the targeted beneficiaries and communities.

The ultimate purpose of this evaluation is to make use of the evaluation results to demonstrate the effectiveness of the program, disseminate results and lessons learned to similar type of programs and share with a broader development community. The recommendations from this evaluation would help to improve the USAID’s programming of livelihoods and food security oriented programs.

The proposed timeframe for the evaluation is September 25-November 30, 2016, however, the exact dates and LOE are subject to finalization by USAID and Social Impact.

Compensation for this short-term assignment will be determined by a candidate’s past employment history and USAID contract regulations.

Overview:

Founded in 2002 by President William J. Clinton, the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to strengthening integrated health systems around the world and expanding access to care and treatment for HIV/AIDS, malaria and other illnesses. Based on the premise that business-oriented strategy can facilitate solutions to global health challenges, CHAI acts as a catalyst to mobilize new resources and optimize the impact of these resources to save lives, via improved organization of commodity markets and more effective local management. CHAI does not operate stand-alone programs, nor does it build parallel health systems. Rather, CHAI works at the invitation and in support of governments. CHAI's teams are working side-by-side with more than 30 governments to tackle many of the largest barriers to effective health care.

CHAI is currently operating in Ethiopia carrying out a wide range of programs to support the Ministry of Health in improving access to and increasing the quality of health services. As one of CHAI's largest field offices with more than 150 staff, the Ethiopia office operates programs across hospital management; maternal, newborn and child health; HIV/AIDS; nutrition; vaccines; and health financing. The health financing program aims to transform how the health system is financed to substantially and sustainably increase access to services, beginning with essential services for those most in need.

Description:

The Government of Ethiopia has supported significant improvements in health over the past decade and now aims to accelerate progress to deliver quality essential health services to its growing population of close to 100 Million people. To achieve this goal, Ethiopia is rolling out health insurance schemes with the goal of reaching most of the population by 2020. If successful, Ethiopia will set an example for all other countries working towards the goal of universal health coverage on the continent.

To successfully roll out this ambitious reform, the newly-staffed Ethiopian Health Insurance Agency will need to overcome technical, operational and management challenges of insurance scale-up across a large and diverse country. This includes making evidence-based decisions in key areas such as the initial design of the benefits package and premium rates, as well as setting up processes to continuously revise these decisions. There will also be a need to strengthen core operations for successful enrollment, provider payment, and financial management. As experience from other countries has shown, the early stages of launch will determine the success of the reform.

CHAI has been supporting the Government of Ethiopia in health financing over the past few years and has been asked by senior leadership to provide more comprehensive support to all of these areas in order to ensure this reform has the intended outcomes in increasing access to quality care for all in need. Ethiopia will be a flagship program for CHAI's health financing work; shaping our engagements in health insurance in other contexts.

Job Requirements

CHAI is seeking a highly motivated individual with outstanding technical capabilities to serve as Senior Analyst, to support the Ethiopian Health Insurance Agency as the Agency oversees the launch of social health insurance and the expansion of community based health insurance.

The Senior Analyst will spend the majority of his or her time working from within the Insurance Agency at the headquarters and branch office level. He or she will provide direct support to key directorates of the Agency such as Providers Affairs, Membership, Finance, Research and Information Technology. The Senior Analyst will be part of a small, but growing CHAI team.

Key responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Work with supervisor to support the Health Insurance Agency's headquarters and branch offices in key analyses and research to respond to strategic questions, development of standard operating procedures and tools for the roll-out of business processes and other deliverables. Deliverables could span the following areas: Provider management and payment, member management, pooling and finance, management information systems, and/or other information technology.
• Support monitoring and early identification of problem areas during the roll-out and scale-up of insurance and work with supervisor and Agency management to address these problems as they arise.
• Build process management and technical capacity within the Insurance Agency at headquarters and branch offices. This includes providing day to day support to Agency staff.
• Serve as a liaison between directorates at headquarters and sub-national branch offices to ensure that insurance is rolled out in a standardized manner.
• Other responsibilities as requested by supervisor.

CHAI works in a fast-paced, results-driven environment and this health insurance reform is a top priority for the government. We are seeking a highly motivated individual who is a fast learner and who is both detail oriented and has the ability to ask the key questions or see the “big picture.” CHAI places great value on resourcefulness, responsibility, tenacity, flexibility, independence, energy, work ethic and humility.

Qualifications include the following:

• Bachelor's degree in a related field such as economics, public health, financial management, public policy; An advanced degree is an advantage;
• Three or more years of professional experience in demanding, results-oriented environments in the public sector and/or private sector (e.g., management consulting); Experience in the health sector or health insurance is an advantage;

Nuru International is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

Overview:

Founded in 2002 by President William J. Clinton, the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to strengthening integrated health systems around the world and expanding access to care and treatment for HIV/AIDS, malaria and other illnesses. Based on the premise that business-oriented strategy can facilitate solutions to global health challenges, CHAI acts as a catalyst to mobilize new resources and optimize the impact of these resources to save lives, via improved organization of commodity markets and more effective local management. CHAI does not operate stand-alone programs, nor does it build parallel health systems. Rather, CHAI works at the invitation and in support of governments. CHAI's teams are working side-by-side with more than 30 governments to tackle many of the largest barriers to effective health care.

CHAI is currently operating in Ethiopia carrying out a wide range of programs to support the Ministry of Health in improving access to and increasing the quality of health services. As one of CHAI's largest field offices with more than 150 staff, the Ethiopia office operates programs across hospital management; maternal, newborn and child health; HIV/AIDS; nutrition; vaccines; and health financing. The health financing program aims to transform how the health system is financed to substantially and sustainably increase access to services, beginning with essential services for those most in need.

Description:

The Government of Ethiopia has supported significant improvements in health over the past decade and now aims to accelerate progress to deliver quality essential health services to its growing population of close to 100 Million people. To achieve this goal, Ethiopia is rolling out health insurance schemes with the goal of reaching most of the population by 2020. If successful, Ethiopia will set an example for all other countries working towards the goal of universal health coverage on the continent.

To successfully roll out this ambitious reform, the newly-staffed Ethiopian Health Insurance Agency will need to overcome technical, operational and management challenges of insurance scale-up across a large and diverse country. This includes making evidence-based decisions in key areas such as the initial design of the benefits package and premium rates, as well as setting up processes to continuously revise these decisions. There will also be a need to strengthen core operations for successful enrollment, provider payment, and financial management. As experience from other countries has shown, the early stages of launch will determine the success of the reform.

CHAI has been supporting the Government of Ethiopia in health financing over the past few years and has been asked by senior leadership to provide more comprehensive support to all of these areas in order to ensure this reform has the intended outcomes in increasing access to quality care for all in need. Ethiopia will be a flagship program for CHAI's health financing work; shaping our engagements in health insurance in other contexts.

CHAI is seeking a highly motivated individual with outstanding technical capabilities to serve as Senior Analyst, to support the Ethiopian Health Insurance Agency as the Agency oversees the launch of social health insurance and the expansion of community based health insurance.

The Senior Analyst will spend the majority of his or her time working from within the Insurance Agency at the headquarters and branch office level. He or she will provide direct support to key directorates of the Agency such as Providers Affairs, Membership, Finance, Research and Information Technology. The Senior Analyst will be part of a small, but growing CHAI team.

Key responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Work with supervisor to support the Health Insurance Agency's headquarters and branch offices in key analyses and research to respond to strategic questions, development of standard operating procedures and tools for the roll-out of business processes and other deliverables. Deliverables could span the following areas: Provider management and payment, member management, pooling and finance, management information systems, and/or other information technology.
• Support monitoring and early identification of problem areas during the roll-out and scale-up of insurance and work with supervisor and Agency management to address these problems as they arise.
• Build process management and technical capacity within the Insurance Agency at headquarters and branch offices. This includes providing day to day support to Agency staff.
• Serve as a liaison between directorates at headquarters and sub-national branch offices to ensure that insurance is rolled out in a standardized manner.
• Other responsibilities as requested by supervisor.

CHAI works in a fast-paced, results-driven environment and this health insurance reform is a top priority for the government. We are seeking a highly motivated individual who is a fast learner and who is both detail oriented and has the ability to ask the key questions or see the “big picture.” CHAI places great value on resourcefulness, responsibility, tenacity, flexibility, independence, energy, work ethic and humility.

Qualifications include the following:

• Bachelor's degree in a related field such as economics, public health, financial management, public policy; An advanced degree is an advantage;
• Three or more years of professional experience in demanding, results-oriented environments in the public sector and/or private sector (e.g., management consulting); Experience in the health sector or health insurance is an advantage;
• Excellent problem solving, analytical and quantitative skills, including attention to detail and fluency in Microsoft Excel;

In support of the US Agency for International Development (USAID) in Ethiopia, the US Forest Service Office of International Programs (USFS) may seek one full-time disaster management advisor to work with Ethiopia’s National Disaster Risk Management Commission (NDRMC) to implement specific aspects of the Ethiopian National Incident Management System (NIMS). This document outlines activities and objectives for one full-time Disaster Management Advisor to NDRMC.

Background:

The Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia is one of the world’s oldest continuous civilizations and viewed by many as the cradle of humanity. The landscape and topography that has nurtured this civilization are incredibly diverse—from high Afro-alpine vegetation to desert and semi-desert scrublands to four large river systems. The Great Rift Valley bisects the country and provides habitat to hundreds of endemic plant and animal species. Ethiopia is one of the world’s fastest growing countries, home to almost 97 million people. Ethiopia also hosts the African Union headquarters and many other international organizations, elevating its importance globally. It’s location in the western escarpment of the Great Rift Valley and the Horn of Africa increases its vulnerability to disasters, including earthquakes, floods, drought, and terrorism.

Drought, soil erosion, deforestation, overgrazing, population pressures, and climate change are all threats to Ethiopia’s natural resources and the rural people who rely on them. Ethiopia’s climate, geography, and geopolitical location also leave the country vulnerable to emergencies, including drought, flooding, seismic events, and refugees seeking protection and assistance.

Since 2008, the US Forest Service (USFS) has been collaborating with the Ministry of Agriculture’s Disaster Risk Management and Food Security Sector (most recently re-established as the National Disaster Risk Management Commission) and the Fire and Emergency Prevention and Rescue Authority (FEPRA) to enhance disaster management and build capacity in disaster preparedness and response. The program aims to integrate components of the US National Incident Management System including multi-agency coordination systems, emergency operations centers, the incident command system, and comprehensive emergency planning. Since its inception, the program, with the support of the US Agency for International Development (USAID) in Ethiopia, has trained over 900 emergency managers in Ethiopia and functions in six regions around the country. USFS programs address a range of complex emergencies in Ethiopia including urban disasters, flooding and drought. Urban technical assistance focuses on firefighter training, capacity building in search and rescue capabilities, and all-hazard operations planning for the City of Addis Ababa.

Position Description:

To evaluate and implement appropriate disaster management methodologies and tools, NDRMC is seeking a Disaster Management Advisor for a one-year secondement. At the end of the year, it is anticipated that NDRMC (and associated regional bureaus) will deploy aspects of NIMS in multiple regions and be able to enhance and further professionalize emergency response in the country.

Duties and Responsibilities

Responsibilities of the Disaster Management Advisor will include but are not limited to:

• Establish and mentor emergency operations centers (EOCs) and coordination platforms such as MACs in interested regions and federal level. Revise and update EOC, MAC, and ICS operations manuals, adapted to the unique needs of target regions. Assess the needs of EOCs and provide mentoring as needed. Get deployed to the regions to activate EOCs in case of the emergencies.

• Initiate training and capacity building activities for NDRMC regional staff and maintain a mentorship role with active regional "Master Trainers" and ensure their skills are refreshed and up to date. Brief the senior officials of the region in order to advocate for the NIMS operationalization.

• Maintain effective relationship with senior leadership of NDRMC and FEPRA to motivate them and advocate for the NIMS coordination structures to ensure their buy-in. Advocate for the decentralized authority for NIMS component activation, disaster declaration, response planning and resource mobilization.

• Provide technical assistance to FEPRA during the Emergency Operation Plan (EOP), and to address their other capacity building and mentoring needs.

• Assist NDRMC to improve timely and effective two way flow of information between woredas to the central level that informs decision making around early warning, disaster preparedness and response.

• Prepare quarterly and annual reports for USAID and USFS; Provide thorough program analysis and disaster management recommendations to the USFS/IP program manager and USAID;

• Initiate and maintain contacts with other organizations in Ethiopia including UNOCHA and other coordination bodies and clusters to improve their knowledge about NIMS and coordination structures for the disaster and emergency management.

• Maintain a strong knowledge and awareness of disaster management and emergency coordination in Ethiopia, including relevant stakeholders and national policies to ensure the relevance and complementarity of the advisory role;

Qualifications:

· Minimum 10 years’ experience working in disaster management;

· Minimum of a Bachelor’s degree in disaster management or related field;

· Professional written and spoken proficiency in English required;

· Prior experience implementing NIMS (Incident Command System, Emergency Operations Centers, Multi-Agency Coordination groups, etc) and conducting NIMS training;

· Prior experience serving on an Incident Management Team or staffing an Incident Command Post;

· Proven ability to work well with multi-level stakeholders; strong interpersonal skills; and ability to work in a multi-cultural environment;

· Familiarity with disaster management and development issues in Ethiopia preferred;

· Strong writing, organizational, and communication skills;

· Ability to represent the US government at meetings and in interactions with international donors, local governments, international NGOs, and civil society;

· Strong ability to work independently in difficult conditions while maintaining productivity;

· USAID or other donor experience strongly preferred.

Communications and Reporting

Quarterly update notes containing highlights of work and progress are expected, as well as more detailed reports on specific training events the Disaster Management Advisor participates in and/or organizes. The Advisor will also produce quarterly and annual work plans, as well as a final report. The Advisor will engage in timely performance reporting, which will describe achievements in terms of progress toward meeting the indicators, as well as the goals and objectives of this initiative. The Advisor will report to the USFS/IP Ethiopia Program Coordinator in coordination with USAID/Ethiopia. At NDRMC, the Advisor will work in close coordination with designated counterparts to be determined and report to the Director of Early Warning and Response Directorate. The reporting structure within NDRMC will be commensurate with the incumbent’s experience.

Position Location: Based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia with potential for local travel in support of project activities. This is a 1-year consultancy with potential for an additional year.

Recruitment Process

· If USFS is able to secure a candidate with the desired skillset, the successful applicant will be hired through a contractor.

· NDRMC will provide office space and logistical support (IT connections, modest staff assistance) to the Advisor.

Note: The USFS, with USAID funding, will provide the Advisor with a laptop for work purposes. It is incumbent upon the Government of Ethiopia to provide a suitable work environment for the Advisor, including the necessary work tools within NDRMC, in order to both maximize the potential of this investment and ensure sustainability of the effort.
