African Population and Health Research Center Knowledge Management and Learning Specialist Jobs

The African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC) is a leading Africa-based, African-led, international research institution headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, and engaged in multidisciplinary, evidence-informed policy research.

Our researchers are contributing to the body of evidence about the critical issues in population health and wellbeing impeding Africa’s development in order to provide strong direction and recommendations to policy- and decision-makers at all levels.

We are pursuing three objectives to achieve our goal of demonstrating where research evidence can contribute to the decision-making process:

To promote a culture of evidence at all levels of government, improving usage of evidence through innovative sharing of research findings

To nurture strategic relationships and partnerships predicated on evidence

To cultivate greater recognition and visibility of APHRC in the implementation of regional and global development agendas

Scope of Work

APHRC is seeking a specialist in knowledge management and learning to first review and evaluate existing tools for policy engagement and communications. This review will lead to the development, in collaboration with the team, of a customized and substantive APHRC-branded toolkit for use by APHRC and its partners.

These tools will be used to support dialogue and skills-transfer both internally and externally, across a variety of platforms that align with our research objectives and desired outcomes.

They will be standardized for ease of adaptation to specific contexts and audiences, and will incorporate signature elements of the APHRC model of policy engagement and knowledge translation.

Each of the tools will incorporate an M&E function to help with lessons learned, to monitor uptake, and to assess impact such as a feedback mechanism for users.

The toolkit will be available on an open source platform.

The consultant’s deliverables will incorporate an overarching knowledge sharing strategy to ensure that the policy and communications tools are user-friendly and accessible, to ensure that anyone will be comfortable using them with their

target audience to conduct strategic communications and policy engagement activities.

Skills and Qualifications

The right candidate will have most of the following:

6+ years demonstrated experience in knowledge management, learning, communications and/or monitoring and evaluation

Master’s in communications, knowledge management, or public health preferred

Previous international experience with capacity-strengthening of civil society and/or research

Demonstrated experience in strategy development for complex projects

Up-to-date knowledge of KML technologies and standards, and an understanding of the constraints and benefits of different approaches and technologies

Familiarity with the international public health sphere

Impeccable interpersonal and management skills to support team development and promote cross-team collaboration in highly complex structures involving multiple teams, stakeholders, and client groups

Excellent attention to detail and track record of producing high quality documents

Strong planning, management, facilitation, interpersonal, and communications skills
