Type: STTA Consultant

Classification: Consultancy

Overview:

The Transition Initiatives for Stabilization Plus (TIS+) activity is a five-year USAID-funded project that will run from May 2015 to April 2020. The intent of the TIS+ activity is to support achievement of USAID/Somalia’s goal by fostering participatory processes that promote good governance and community cohesion.

Given the fragile nature of the Somali government and the existence of an insurgency in parts of South Central Somalia, USAID is maintaining a continued focus through TIS+ on quick impact stabilization activities at the district and community levels.

This task order focuses on a midline assessment, and it is anticipated that Contribution Analyst (CA) will contribute to all assessment phases and deliverable tasks until the completion of this midline assessment in July 2019. The CA will provide detailed district level analysis of other programs and interventions that may influence the outcomes of the TIS+ activity.

This will be largely determined through the analysis of qualitative and quantitative data collected and through donor and host country analysis of policies and programs likely to influence TIS+ activities and the CVE context in Somalia.

In partnership with the Team Leader , the TIS+ Assessment Team and particularly the Subject Mater Specialist (SME), write reports, prepare CA inputs for

presentations, and establish causal linkages, along with key assumptions and causal mechanisms underpinning the Theory of Change as outlined by TIS+; and

Other duties as assigned by the Team Leader and/or Project Director.
