AGI’s Mission

Over a billion people in Africa need their governments to provide basic public services such as hospitals, schools, sanitation, employment opportunities and much more. When governments fail to deliver, it’s the poor that suffer most. That’s why AGI’s mission is to support effective government in Africa - to make government work for the world’s poorest people.

To achieve this vision, we provide practical advice and support to help African Leaders bridge the gap between their vision for a better future and the capacity of their governments to achieve it. In the last year, this has included helping to end Ebola in West Africa, supporting the set-up of the Development Bank of Nigeria, and reforms in Rwanda that will increase farmers’ incomes and exports.

Our model combines the experience of AGI’s founder and Patron, Tony Blair, with on-the-ground teams of professionals working shoulder-to-shoulder with counterparts in the heart of partner governments to develop capacity and put in place the skills, systems and structures needed to drive delivery on the ground. Currently, AGI is working to support the governments of Sierra Leone, Liberia, Rwanda, Guinea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique and Nigeria.

AGI’s People

AGI teams understand that politics is as important as technical knowhow when it comes to getting things done. They are excellent at building and maintaining relationships, possess strong leadership skills, and skilled in helping our partner governments solve some of the continent’s most complex delivery challenges. We are bound by a unique set of shared values; we’re bold in our approach, relentless in pursuit of impact, led by our government partners not by our own agenda, passionate about Africa’s potential and independent in our advice and analyses. Our work has the potential to help change millions of lives for the better.

Upcoming Opportunities - 2016/2017

Leadership Positions

AGI Country Heads have full responsibility of all programme activities, including managing a team of 4-10 people, project budget oversight, strategic programme design and the delivery and evaluation of project goals. This includes managing relations with senior government stakeholders, including, in some countries, the President. For these challenging and demanding roles we are looking for exceptional performance in the AGI competencies and proven experience of building senior relationships and managing high performing teams.

Governance Advisor roles

Background

The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) has been providing relief and development services in the Horn of Africa since 1997. Using a protection of human rights framework, DRC has mainly focused on Somalis who are displaced by conflict but this has now broadened to include South Sudanese displaced in Ethiopia, Ethiopians, Somalis and Yemenis in Djibouti. Programmes include protection, livelihoods, NFI distribution, shelter, WASH, migration and advocacy amongst others. DRC Ethiopia supports field offices in several locations: three in Djibouti (Djibouti Ville, Ali Sabieh and Obock) and five in Ethiopia (Dolo Ado, Jijiga, Shire, Gambella town and Dimma).

DRC’s operation in Gambella regional state currently makes up the largest portion of the Ethiopia/Djibouti program’s activities in both programmatic and monetary terms. DRC’s work in Gambella is focused on responding to the mass refugee influx from South Sudan. Ethiopia is the largest recipient of South Sudanese refugees, which now numbers over 260,000 persons in Gambella, a significant majority of which are women and children.

Background
Save the Children (SC) is the world’s leading independent organization for children. Our vision is a world in which every child attains the right to survival, protection, development and participation. With a mission of inspiring breakthroughs in the way the world treats children, and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives, Save the Children works both in development and humanitarian contexts. In Ethiopia, under the child protection program, Save the Children is responding to ensuring the wellbeing of children by prioritizing four areas of intervention: Appropriate care (including Children on the Move), Protection of children against violence, children and harmful work and child protection systems.

Our “Children on the Move” program is operational at Amhara, Oromia, and SNNP Regions, and Addis Ababa city Administration. The major interventions are prevention and response along with capacity building of stakeholders. As part of systematizing the children on the move program, Save the Children has planned to adopt a mechanism that support effectiveness and ensure quality and accountability on the continuum of service provision including the search for quality alternative care or permanency of child care including family reunification of a migrant or trafficked child. As part of ensuring adequate services to children who involved in unsafe migration, and those trafficked, Save the Children and its partners are working on strengthening a comprehensive case management mechanism. With this respect, activities are being implemented to strengthen referral mechanism and other capacity building activities on case management.

It is mandatory that an assessment is vital before taking actions that affect migrated and trafficked children; and it is an essential component of case management. Some organizations refer such assessment as need assessment, child protection assessment, intake assessment, best interest assessment, etc. The need assessment referred as Best Interest Assessment (BIA) for this consultancy work, should be conducted as soon as a child has been identified to be at risk and/or the moment the case worker identified a migrant or trafficked child. Any individual casework with migrant and trafficked children must be based on an assessment of protection needs with recommendations for interventions and referrals. This provides an opportunity that the child’s views and wishes are obtained. Partner organizations are moving forward in considering the views and needs of children before providing services to migrated and trafficked children through different kinds of assessment or interview. However, such an assessment of protection needs with recommendations for interventions and referral process needs to be strengthened and consistently applied. For instance, the application of a standard BIA tool throughout the continuum of services including care is lacking.

The other important aspect of case management is Best interests determination (BID).BID describes the formal process with strict procedural safeguards designed to determine the child’s best interests for particularly important decisions that affect him or her.

It needs to facilitate adequate child participation and involve decision-makers with relevant areas of expertise, who can identify and balance all relevant factors in order to assess the best option. BID provides a formal process with safeguards for making decisions which are likely to have a fundamental impact on the lives of children; it ensures that children’s views and opinions are given due weight according to their age, maturity and evolving capacities; it provides a more comprehensive assessment of children at risk that addresses the full spectrum of the child’s situation, needs, and vulnerabilities and considers both short- and longer-term impacts; it facilitates case management through the development of a care plan with better monitoring of children at risk; it facilitates better quality care for children at risk as it involves persons with different expertise in child protection. In addition to the prevention services, our children on the move program have response services like temporary care arrangements, family reunification and reintegrating children to the place where they migrated. Such response services require strong procedural safeguards that uphold the interests of the child. Currently, partners and stakeholders working on such response services have limitation which is, for instance, manifested while reunified children are being migrating back, being exposed to exploitation and others.

To address such gaps in providing services as well as deciding on the care arrangement of a child, Save the Children wants to commission a competent consultant to strengthen the case management mechanism mainly the BIA and BID processes. The terms of reference, thus, prepared to outline the objective, scope and methodology to undertake the task.

Background of the Project

The ILO Country Office for Ethiopia, Djibouti, Somalia, Sudan and South Sudan, and for the Special Representative to the AU and the ECA, based in Addis Ababa, implements its programmes and activities in close partnership with the Government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, in particular with its technical line, the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (MOLSA), the employers’ and workers’ organizations. The implementation of its activities and programmes are in support of the Decent Work Country Programme (DWCP), agreed by the tripartite partners. DWCP is fully aligned with the Country’s development goals, articulated in its five-year Growth and Transformation Plan and the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) of Ethiopia.

The Government of Ethiopia (GoE) and international organizations including the ILO have expressed their concern about the increasing incidence of irregular migration, which is often associated with violence and inhuman treatment. They have underscored the importance of addressing the root causes of migration in general and irregular migration in particular. In this regard, among other things lack of decent livelihood and employment opportunities is identified as one of the main driving forces for migration in Ethiopia both by the government and stakeholders a like. To this effect, the ILO, together with UNIDO and other key partners in Government and non-state actors, will implement a four-year technical cooperation project funded by the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation under the EU trust fund entitled, “*Addressing the Root Causes of Migration in Ethiopia*”. The project aims contributing to the reduction of irregular migration through creating decent livelihood and employment opportunities for the youth through increasing the knowledge base on the root causes of migration, and its nexus with, the lack of decent livelihood and employment opportunities for potential migrants in the most migration prone areas of the country. This comprehensive analysis will inform the design, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of subsequent projects that will be funded by the Stemming Irregular Migration in Northern & Central Ethiopia (SINCE) programme.

This project is part of a broader programme titled “Stemming Irregular Migration In Northern & Central Ethiopia – SINCE” with the overall objective to contribute to reducing irregular migration from Northern and Central Ethiopia by improving the living conditions of the most vulnerable population, including potential migrants and returnees with specific focus on youth and women. The specific objective is to create greater economic and employment opportunities: by establishing inclusive economic programmes that create employment opportunities, especially for young people and women with a focus on rural towns and urban areas, particularly Addis Ababa, in the most migration-prone regions (Amhara, Tigray, Oromia, SNNPR) of Ethiopia, including vocational training, creation of micro and small enterprises and start-up of small livelihood activities. It will also provide support for returnees after their return to their places of origin. SINCE is based on the first objective within the EU Trust Fund, namely to create greater economic and employment opportunities, especially for young people and women, with a focus on vocational trainings and the creation of micro and small enterprises.

Project on "Addressing the Root Causes of Migration in Ethiopia"

Background of the Project

The ILO Country Office for Ethiopia, Djibouti, Somalia, Sudan and South Sudan, and for the Special Representative to the AU and the ECA, based in Addis Ababa, implements its programmes and activities in close partnership with the Government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, in particular with its technical line, the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (MOLSA), the employers’ and workers’ organizations. The implementation of its activities and programmes are in support of the Decent Work Country Programme (DWCP), agreed by the tripartite partners. DWCP is fully aligned with the Country’s development goals, articulated in its five-year Growth and Transformation Plan and the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) of Ethiopia.

The Government of Ethiopia (GoE) and international organizations including the ILO have expressed their concern about the increasing incidence of irregular migration, which is often associated with violence and inhuman treatment. They have underscored the importance of addressing the root causes of migration in general and irregular migration in particular. In this regard, among other things lack of decent livelihood and employment opportunities is identified as one of the main driving forces for migration in Ethiopia both by the government and stakeholders a like. To this effect, the ILO, together with UNIDO and other key partners in Government and non-state actors, will implement a four-year technical cooperation project funded by the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation under the EU trust fund entitled, “*Addressing the Root Causes of Migration in Ethiopia*”. The project aims at contributing to the reduction of irregular migration through creating decent livelihood and employment opportunities for the youth through increasing the knowledge base on the root causes of migration, and its nexus with, the lack of decent livelihood and employment opportunities for potential migrants in the most migration prone areas of the country. This comprehensive analysis will inform the design, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of subsequent projects that will be funded by the Stemming Irregular Migration in Northern & Central Ethiopia (SINCE) programme.

This project is part of a broader programme titled “Stemming Irregular Migration In Northern & Central Ethiopia – SINCE” with the overall objective to contribute to reducing irregular migration from Northern and Central Ethiopia by improving the living conditions of the most vulnerable population, including potential migrants and returnees with specific focus on youth and women. The specific objective is to create greater economic and employment opportunities: by establishing inclusive economic programmes that create employment opportunities, especially for young people and women with a focus on rural towns and urban areas, particularly Addis Ababa, in the most migration-prone regions (Amhara, Tigray, Oromia, SNNPR) of Ethiopia, including vocational training, creation of micro and small enterprises and start-up of small livelihood activities. It will also provide support for returnees after their return to their places of origin. SINCE is based on the first objective within the EU Trust Fund, namely to create greater economic and employment opportunities, especially for young people and women, with a focus on vocational trainings and the creation of micro and small enterprises.

The ILO Country Office requires the services of a Senior Finance and Administrative Assistant to help in the implementation of the above project.
