- Description
- Solicitation for U.S. Personal Services Contractor (PSC), A. BACKGROUND In 2014, the U.S. Agency for International Development's Office of Food for Peace (FFP) awarded more than $1 billion to private voluntary organizations (PVOs) and the UN World Food Program (WFP) for food assistance in East and Central Africa. This included awards for both emergency food assistance (which aims to address life-saving needs arising from natural disasters, such as floods or droughts, and complex emergencies characterized by insecurity and population displacement) and development food assistance (which addresses the underlying causes of chronic food insecurity). A 2009 U.S. General Accountability Office (GAO) report on International Food Assistance noted that effective monitoring and evaluation of food assistance are critical to ensure that FFP meets its strategic objective and recommended that FFP strengthen its monitoring and evaluation activities. The report particularly noted the need to strengthen evaluation activities by providing skilled evaluators to support the Mission FFP staff and implementing partners to monitor program activities and carry out program evaluations. USAID/Ethiopia requires a FFP Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Specialist hired through a Personal Services Contract to support the capacity of USAID Missions and FFP/W to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the assistance provided by the programs it funds, primarily in East and Central Africa, and in other regions when needed. The position is based in Addis Ababa. The Specialist is expected to spend approximately sixty (60) percent of his/her time supporting the Ethiopia Mission and the majority of the remaining time supporting other Missions in the East and Central Africa Region. B. BASIC FUNCTIONS: The FFP M&E Specialist will support the effective management of FFP resources by providing regional partners technical assistance as they develop and implement M&E systems for FFP-funded emergency and development activities; providing tools, capacity building, advice and other support to FFP Officers as they monitor FFP activities; and assisting the development and review of scopes of work and work plans for evaluations of FFP projects. As a member of the Global FFP M&E team, the Specialist is also expected to contribute to the development and improvement of FFP M&E policies and guidance for partners and FFP officers globally.
