Consultant, LMG jobs opportunity in Uganda at Management Sciences for Health
Job Title Consultant, LMG
Organization Management Sciences for Health
City Kampala
Country Uganda
A: Main Objective:
To independently review JCRC’s information and communication technology (ICT) management needs and solutions which have been recently recommended to the organization. The SOW will include review of existing capacity, latest systemic gaps, and proposed solution specifications.
B: Context and Background:
The Joint Clinical Research Center (JCRC) is a non-profit organization that was founded in 1991 to address the challenges of HIV/AIDS in Uganda. JCRC is one of the largest antiretroviral therapy (ART) centers in Uganda, and currently the most advanced reference laboratory for other HIV/AIDS partners in the country with capacity to do sophisticated tests required for ART monitoring and detection of resistance to antiretroviral (ARV) drugs. JCRC pioneered the use of antiretroviral therapy in Sub Saharan Africa as early as 1992 when it conducted the first ARV therapy trial in Africa aimed at determining the safe and effective use of Zidovudine, a new drug by at the time.
Over the years, JCRC has demonstrated significant technical capacity in the provision of high quality and advanced HIV/AIDS services to Ugandans. At the same time, the organization has seen significant expansions in its scope and mandate in the provision of advance laboratory services. Currently, JCRC runs more than 40 research projects in addition to the USAID funded THALAS project and a multi-donor funded HIV/AIDS care and prevention project funded through the Civil Society Fund.
However, the quick growth of JCRC HIV/AIDS service delivery and clinical research programs were not adequately matched by parallel growth in the area of financial management, leadership and governance, and overall information system management. Therefore, in March 2013, USAID requested MSH Leadership, Management and Governance project to provide capacity building support to JCRC. One of the key goals of the support is to assist JCRC to comprehensively review the overall information management system (MIS) with the ultimate goal to help strengthen finance information management system (FIMIS) as well as lab and clinical information management systems.
In order to accomplish this goal MSH/LMG, through the services of an independent consultant, seeks to review present overall information management systems (including data back up and improvement in other areas of ICT) and recommend the long term system improvements which will allow JCRC to become more effective and efficient organization.
In summary, MSH/LMG plans to:
Conduct a comprehensive overall Information Management system review (including institutional information and communication technology (ICT) needs for the organization, as well as improvements needed in financial, lab and data management systems).
Prepare a report identifying key MIS related needs for the organization to function effectively, and recommend how these gaps could be filled. For example, the assessment should consider the integration of accounting systems with other areas such as budget, procurement, inventory, human resources, laboratory and clinical systems. But at the same time, data backup system need to be observed, and guidance for lab and clinical data management is also necessary.
Specific Activities:
Review key relevant background documents (established user requirements, relevant policies and procedures, previous independent assessments and recommendations).
Observe and assess capacity of the existing information management systems in place at JCRC.
Define the key relevant characteristics of the organization affecting or susceptible of affecting the specifications of the ICT system.
Clarify as needed JCRC’s leadership expectations vis-à-vis the services to be rendered by the ICT system and its performance.
Assess technical capacity of JCRC personnel using or expected to use the organization’s financial information, Lab information and Clinic data management systems.
Based on the organization’s needs and capacity of staff revise as appropriate the specifications of the financial management, Lab information and Clinic data management systems which would be helpful at JCRC.
Prepare a report with specific recommendations how to meet JCRC’s ICT needs and the timeline for procurement and implementation.
Present the draft review report to JCRC and MSH for comments and or inputs.
Incorporate JCRC and MSH inputs as appropriate and develop the final review report.
C: Methodology
The consultant will work hand in hand with the LMG/MSH team and actively engage JCRC’s relevant personnel and other stakeholders. More specifically, the consultant will review the previously completed ICT assessment reports, recommendations for system procurements, JCRC’s organizational set up and other supporting documents. This individual will also use as necessary site visits, interviews, and other type of meetings like focus sessions to collect necessary information to complete this assessment.

Expected Duration of Assignment : 4 weeks
Background:
The Government of Uganda is signatory to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). The Government of Uganda reported to the CEDAW Committee in August 2010 in relation to the Convention. Following the Concluding Observations of the CEDAW Committee issued in October 2010, the Government of Uganda has to report to a mid-term review on two specific recommendations of the Committee, namely recommendation n. 12 and n. 32 (b). The recommendation 32 (b) touches upon access to education for the girl child; in particular, it states that 'the Committee urges the State party to (…) take necessary steps to ensure safe transportation to and from schools and safe educational environments free from discrimination and violence, strengthen awareness-raising and training of school officials and students, sensitization of children through media as well as the establishment of reporting and accountability mechanisms to ensure that perpetrators of all sexual offences against school girls are prosecuted'. For this purpose, the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development (MGLSD) and the Ministry of Education and Sports (MoES) with the support of the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) and Plan Uganda, under the UN Joint Programme on Gender Equality, would like to hire the services of a professional film maker for documenting the interviews on the area of education for girls in the districts of Kampala and Tororo Rationale: Under the UN Joint Programme on Gender Equality, OHCHR supports MGLSD to domesticate international, regional and national treaties on women's rights and comply with its commitments in reporting to international and regional mechanisms on gender and human rights. The Government of Uganda was called to report on the Mid-Term Review of CEDAW in October 2012; therefore, in 2012, the MGLSD and MoES hired a consultant with the support of OHCHR and Plan Uganda to carry out interviews and document good practices around girls' education in 5 districts in Uganda.

The documentary will complement the report and provide a better understanding to the CEDAW Committee and other targets on the real situation and challenges faced by women in access to school in the two districts of Kampala and Tororo. The final documentary will be forwarded to the CEDAW Committee with the CEDAW mid-term review report. The film documentation should include interviews with girls students, school representatives, local government in those districts and good practices on girls' education. The documentary should also include interviews to representatives of MGLSD and MoES on existing national programmes and policies in place to enhance girls' education in Uganda, with specific focus on how they respond to challenges faced by girls in accessing schools in the districts. These interviews should also highlight the main challenges faced in the implementation of these programmes, especially in those areas where statistics and report register a higher drop-out rate of girls to school. The script will therefore have to be aligned to the report produced by a team of independent consultants on girls' education in 5 districts in Uganda, commissioned in 2012 by MoES, MGLSD, OHCHR and Plan Uganda, in relation to CEDAW recommendation n. 32(b).

Financial Services Consultant Job Opportunity in Uganda at Mercy Corps
Job Title Financial Services Consultant Uganda (218740-927)
Organisation Mercy Corps
Country Uganda
City Kampala
Category Consulting
Closing date: 27 Oct 2013
Project Description:
Mercy Corps Uganda in partnership with TechnoServe is implementing a three-year U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) funded market development program in Lamwo district of Acholi sub- region in northern Uganda. RAIN stimulates economic prosperity and food security in by improving the performance of the agriculture sector. Program strategic objectives include: (1) enhancing smallholder farmer production and profitability; (2) improving agribusiness and trade performance of key input and output markets; and (3) expanding access to rural financial services. RAIN uses a market facilitation approach with a focus on key service markets including inputs, tillage, information, financial services, postharvest handling, and output markets. RAIN seeks to achieve systemic change that results in increased access to and use of financial products and services in underserved Lamwo district. RAIN focuses on market change at the financial institution level (supply) and farmer/agribusiness level (demand) RAIN encourages choice and plurality in financial markets. To address underlying financial market performance constraints (quality, access, skills and training) RAIN will encourage diversity and competition among financial providers as well as delivery methods for financial services. This includes partnering with providers focused on the poor but also in parallel with larger, formal financial institutions and direct actors in the targeted supply chains.
Focusing on several business models provides RAIN the basis for larger-scale and sustainable financial services and products in Lamwo.
Facilitate the physical expansion and increased technical capacity of formal and informal financial institutions, including the use of mobile payments systems.
Introduce new financing mechanisms to expand the range of products and delivery mechanisms available to farmers and agribusinesses (a range of agriculture credit products, VSLA, formal savings and credit products, micro leasing and micro insurance, and e-wallets/mobile payments up and down the supply chain).
Support farmer- and business-level financial understanding and access to new products and technologies (embedded financial and digital literacy services, build credit history).
Support and expand new financing mechanisms between actors within the agricultural market chain (increase financial relationships between buyers and sellers).
The RAIN Financial Access Sector Strategy was finalized in June 2013. Follow up to this, the program is seeking the services of an international consultant to help in the implementation of the key recommendations.
Objectives:
The general purpose of this consultancy work is to assist the program in the implementation of key recommendations by the HQ technical support unit. In the process the consultant is expected to build technical capacity of staff under the department.

Conduct SACCOs’ capacity building activities that are informed by the assessments. These may include technical assistance and training, and suggest recommendations for consideration by the program beyond this assignment period.
Work closely with partner financial institutions to improve existing agricultural products and terms, development of new products and services, and delivery models. This will include working with at least one national bank and potentially an MFI.
Develop Segment profiles of market actors. Utilize existing data to develop market segmentation profiles (actor profiles) as a marketing tool for financial institutions to understand the range of current and potential clients. This is also a tool for RAIN to understand which interventions are/are not appropriate or applicable to different segments. Profiles should be created for farmers as well as agro-processors, equipment agents, input/output agents, and input suppliers.
Work closely with financial institutions and mobile network operators (MNO) to develop their strategy and application of technologies in their products and services including mobile technologies for payment services.

Project Description:
Mercy Corps Uganda in partnership with TechnoServe is implementing a three-year U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) funded market development program in Lamwo district of Acholi sub- region in northern Uganda. RAIN stimulates economic prosperity and food security in by improving the performance of the agriculture sector. Program strategic objectives include: (1) enhancing smallholder farmer production and profitability; (2) improving agribusiness and trade performance of key input and output markets; and (3) expanding access to rural financial services. RAIN uses a market facilitation approach with a focus on key service markets including inputs, tillage, information, financial services, postharvest handling, and output markets. RAIN seeks to achieve systemic change that results in increased access to and use of financial products and services in underserved Lamwo district. RAIN focuses on market change at the financial institution level (supply) and farmer/agribusiness level (demand) RAIN encourages choice and plurality in financial markets. To address underlying financial market performance constraints (quality, access, skills and training) RAIN will encourage diversity and competition among financial providers as well as delivery methods for financial services. This includes partnering with providers focused on the poor but also in parallel with larger, formal financial institutions and direct actors in the targeted supply chains.
Focusing on several business models provides RAIN the basis for larger-scale and sustainable financial services and products in Lamwo.
Facilitate the physical expansion and increased technical capacity of formal and informal financial institutions, including the use of mobile payments systems.
Introduce new financing mechanisms to expand the range of products and delivery mechanisms available to farmers and agribusinesses (a range of agriculture credit products, VSLA, formal savings and credit products, micro leasing and micro insurance, and e-wallets/mobile payments up and down the supply chain).
Support farmer- and business-level financial understanding and access to new products and technologies (embedded financial and digital literacy services, build credit history).
Support and expand new financing mechanisms between actors within the agricultural market chain (increase financial relationships between buyers and sellers).
The RAIN Financial Access Sector Strategy was finalized in June 2013. Follow up to this, the program is seeking the services of an international consultant to help in the implementation of the key recommendations.
Objectives:
The general purpose of this consultancy work is to assist the program in the implementation of key recommendations by the HQ technical support unit. In the process the consultant is expected to build technical capacity of staff under the department.
Activities:
Specific tasks of the consultancy work include the following.
Conduct rapid operational capacity and product development assessment of RAIN partner Savings and Credit Cooperatives (SACCO) to inform interventions to improve operational efficiency and financial products and services responsive to demand of Saving Group members.
Conduct SACCOs’ capacity building activities that are informed by the assessments. These may include technical assistance and training, and suggest recommendations for consideration by the program beyond this assignment period.
Work closely with partner financial institutions to improve existing agricultural products and terms, development of new products and services, and delivery models. This will include working with at least one national bank and potentially an MFI.
Develop Segment profiles of market actors. Utilize existing data to develop market segmentation profiles (actor profiles) as a marketing tool for financial institutions to understand the range of current and potential clients. This is also a tool for RAIN to understand which interventions are/are not appropriate or applicable to different segments. Profiles should be created for farmers as well as agro-processors, equipment agents, input/output agents, and input suppliers.
Work closely with financial institutions and mobile network operators (MNO) to develop their strategy and application of technologies in their products and services including mobile technologies for payment services.
Develop M&E tools for capturing outputs, outcomes and impacts of interventions and develop reporting templates for partnering institutions.
Review the existing financial and digital literacy training curricula and the trainings offered by or planned by RAIN financial institutions, market chain actors, and MNOs and work closely for improvement of curricula and delivery methodologies based on based practices/impact research.

About RI: Relief International (RI) is a leading global change organization and home to teams of humanitarian activist-professionals committed to transforming adversity into renewal for the world's most vulnerable populations. By partnering with beneficiaries and communities on the front-lines, RI innovatively bridges the gap between immediate relief and long-term community development.
Summary of
Responsibilities:
The EnterpriseWorks Division of Relief International has been implementing a commercial pilot project in Uganda to promote a low cost water storage product to enable the collection of high quality water at the household level.
The product was the culmination of the findings from desk and field studies conducted during the initial stages of this project to better understand the constraints facing households wishing to harvest rainwater from their rooftops.
The studies found that after a hard roof surface for collection, the biggest impediment to collecting substantial quantities of water at the household level was the cost of storage.
This project sought to address this constraint as a means to opening up a globally under-exploited source of water that is delivered without cost to the household.
Seeking two consultants for the final evaluation:
Enterprise Specialist
Specific Tasks:
Evaluate the supply chain that has been established for bob® and particularly the sustainability of the chain post-project. Provide suggestions for improvements;
Evaluate the competitiveness of bob® in the marketplace;
Determine if bob® meets a latent need in Uganda;
Determine if the promotional activities were effective in creating awareness and then generating sales, If not what can be improved;
