SoCha LLC Monitoring - Evaluation and Learning Specialists Jobs in Kenya

Background

USAID Kenya and East Africa (KEA) recently received approval for its 2020-2025 Country
Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS). Within three months of CDCS approval the KEA mission
must develop a performance management plan (PMP) to accompany the strategy.

The USAID/KEA Strategic Planning and Analysis Office is charged with developing said PMP and has requested the Mission Support for the Journey to Self-Reliance Pivot (MSP) activity to support PMP development with short-term technical assistance (STTA).

USAID/KEA aims to develop a comprehensive and utilization focused PMP. The purpose of this work order is to provide support for the development of that PMP, AND to improve the PMP product and the process of its development so that it will be utilized throughout the life of the strategy.

Scope

Support for PMP development provided by MSP will include STTA and MSP staff. MSP will work with a USAID/KEA Mission PMP core group and various internal development objective (DO) or project working groups.

MSP will be guided by a point of contact from the SPA office and liaise with the Mission Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) working group and CLA champions group
throughout the process.

MSP support will include advisory services, coordination, group facilitation, knowledge capture, ideation, writing, editing, and document production.

Although MSP may provide guidance and suggestions, all proposed monitoring, evaluation, and learning approaches and activities will be approved by USAID.

Extensive participation, ideation, content creation, information sharing, and program guidance must come from USAID.

This PMP support activity is expected to last up to three months.

Public health situation note:

Because of the current public health situation which restricts safe movement and interaction with stakeholders, all meetings will be conducted remotely.

respective DO team assignments and the overall PMP are completed on time with quality and accuracy.

Further, MEL Specialists should ensure ideas and content created for and adopted in the PMP reflect the decisions of their respective teams, relevant technical and support offices, and the mission leadership.

MEL Specialists will look to the MEL Advisor for guidance on USAID automated directives and policy but will also work with the USAID/KEA SPA office, MEL working group, and MSP to ensure coherence and alignment to the strategic choices in the 2020-2025 CDCS.
