Company background:
SoCha (a portmanteau of Social and Change) is an independent Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (ME&L) firm that provides bespoke solutions to social challenges. We are a US-registered, veteran-owned small business, headquartered in Mauritius. SoCha supports foreign assistance interventions across Africa and Asia and specializes in advancing innovative methodologies and changing the way donors find solutions to social problems.
Activity background:
USAID Kenya and East Africa (USAID/KEA) contracted SoCha LLC to implement the five-year USAID Localization, Inclusion, and Sustainability Activity (LISA). The activity aims to support USAID/KEA staff and stakeholders to be more efficient, effective, transparent, inclusive, and skilled in achieving development outcomes. To achieve this, the activity will enhance USAID/KEA’s organizational project design; programming; Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) practices; diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) objectives, and mission-wide localization efforts. LISA will support USAID/KEA to elevate local voices and co-develop and co-create USAID/KEA programs with local partners, including marginalized populations, girls and women, and youth.
The activity has the following core objectives:
1. MEL: Strengthen monitoring, evaluation, verification, and data utilization to improve
development results.
2. Organizational Development: Improve systems, coordination, collaboration, and organizational
development to enhance institutional learning and program effectiveness.
3. Capacity Building: Provide capacity building services to empower and enfranchise local actors.
4. Strategy: Support strategy development, implementation, and process management to enable
continuous planning, delivering, assessing, and adapting of development programs.
5. Logistics: Provide logistical support to ensure productive and efficient operations.
Position background:
The Localization, Inclusion and Sustainability Activity (LISA), implemented by SoCha LLC, seeks a highly motivated Capacity Building Advisor (CBA) that will liaise with USAID/KEA to identify and empower local actors to pursue USAID funding, strengthen their ability to implement awards, promote learning and adaptive management, and bolster their fiduciary capacity as stewards of public funds. The CBA will support the CB process using organizational capacity assessment tools and will identify and scope local organizations’ needs for additional CB services. The CBA will engage local CB expertise to optimize the ability of Kenyan organizations to receive, track, and judiciously utilize USAID funds. The CBA will also monitor the progress of CB activities within USAID/KEA’s local partners.
