African Population and Health Research Center Jobs in Kenya

APHRC is seeking a specialist in knowledge management and learning to drive a review and evaluation of our tools for policy engagement and communications, to work with the team in order to create a more substantial toolkit for

Whether its researchers, civil society, or government stakeholders, we want audiences at every level to learn something from these tools that improves their ability to drive change and be more effective in their advocacy, engagement and strategic communications work.

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 culminate with the development of an overarching knowledge sharing strategy to ensure that the policy and communications tools are user-friendly and accessible, so that no matter who delivers them, they will add a layer of depth and comprehension to the target audience’s efforts to carry out strategic communications and policy engagement activities. This strategy will be aligned with the APHRC Strategic Plan for 2017-2021 and identify where these tools can be used in helping APHRC articulate its position on our signature policy issues.
