Description:
Social Impact is a global development management consulting firm. We provide monitoring, evaluation, strategic planning, and capacity building services to advance development effectiveness. We work across all development sectors including democracy and governance, health and education, the environment, and economic growth. Since 1997 we have worked in over 100 countries for clients such as US government agencies, bilateral donors, multilateral development banks, foundations, and nonprofits.
Project Objective:
Social Impact has been commissioned to conduct a developmental evaluation (DE) of USAID's Powered by the People (PxP) initiative for USAID's DRG Center. The purpose of the evaluation is to (1) strengthen their theory of change, (2) improve implementation, (3) ensure accountability and service towards front line activists, and (4) increase the likelihood of achieving PxP's objectives. The study will be conducted in phases, with the first phase focused on conducting kick-off meetings, an evidence review, workshop, and a draft design for the developmental evaluation.
Position Description:
Social Impact is seeking a developmental evaluator who will be responsible for designing and carrying out the developmental evaluation, including data collection, analysis, and facilitation of learning and adaptation based on evidence. This individual will serve as the main point of contact with USAID/DRG and DE stakeholders. S/he will be embedded within the PxP consortium and participate regularly in PxP leadership activities and decision-making to track overall strategic direction and progress of PxP.
The estimated period of performance for the first phase is January 2024 through June 2024. The second and third phases of the developmental evaluation may be awarded under follow-on taskings; if awarded, Phase 2 will continue through a 12-month period from the point of kick-off, and Phase 3 will continue for the remainder of the activity. SI is looking for candidates that can offer as close to 100% time for the duration of the evaluation as possible (for Phase 1 only this is closer to 35% time over six months) and would work with the developmental evaluation administrator from SI.
