SoCha LLC Capacity Building Experts Jobs in Kenya
Background
SoCha is contracted to deliver the USAID/Kenya and East Africa (KEA) Localization, Inclusion, and Sustainability Activity (LISA) with the aim of assisting USAID staff and stakeholders to be more efficient, effective, transparent, inclusive, and skilled in achieving development outcomes. LISA will be supporting the USAID Democratic Governance, Peace, and Security (DGPS) Office, which supports Kenya’s drive towards entrenchment of democracy, inclusive and effective governance, peace, and security. The DGPS programming is through two mechanisms, namely the Kenya Inclusive Governance, Accountability, Performance, and Participation (K-IGAPP) and the Local Development Organization (LDO) Initiative. The ten activities under DGPS aim to strengthen Kenya’s electoral system, counter corruption, improve decentralized governance, protect the rights of women and persons with disabilities, and counter violent extremism.
Scope of Work
The DGPS Office intends to engender and foster learning and integration of evidence into programming across all its activities. A core part of this effort will be to strengthen the MEL and adaptive management capacity of local organizations and partners implementing DGPS activities.
This includes assessing the MEL capacity of DGPS partner organizations and developing a tailored plan to support these organizations to more effectively collect and report on relevant monitoring data, implement learning agendas, conduct specific learning and reflection activities, and to utilize findings of relevant analyses (e.g., PEA, context analysis, etc.).

Develop tailored training and support materials to address MEL capacity gaps, including issues such as learning agendas, data quality, and adaptive management.
Conduct interviews and surveys with DGPS partners in addition to a desk review of MEL documentation.
Deliver presentations to DGPS and partners on progress.
Participate in quarterly MEL meetings, as well as debriefs with the Mission and LISA staff.
Other activities as agreed upon with LISA staff.
Required Skills
Master’s degree or doctoral degree in international development, social science, or related fields from a recognized university.
Experience conducting organizational capacity assessments and developing capacity building plans.
Demonstrated knowledge of monitoring and evaluation topics, including data collection, learning agendas, data quality, analysis, and reporting.

Experience working on or implementing programs in Kenya, preferably related to democracy and governance.
Ability to diplomatically communicate and work effectively with a wide range of USAID implementing partners and stakeholders.
