International Business & Technical Consultants, Inc. Contribution Analyst Jobs in Kenya


International Business & Technical Consultants, Inc. (IBTCI), a U.S. based international development consulting company established in 1987, has worked in over one hundred countries and implemented over three hundred projects.

IBTCI serves government agencies, private sector companies and several donor agencies.

IBTCI specializes in Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) across many sectors including, but not limited to, conflict and crisis, democracy and governance, economic growth, education, environment, and global health.

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.
