The primary purpose of this assignment is to accomplish key objectives that align with organizational goals and strategic initiatives. These objectives are designed to drive measurable outcomes, enhance operational efficiency, and support long-term growth. The role requires a thorough understanding of the assigned responsibilities to ensure tasks are completed accurately and in a timely manner. Additionally, the position demands adherence to established policies and procedures while fostering collaboration across teams to achieve shared targets.
To develop quantitative baseline values for the identified Partnership Harmonized Indicators (Phis), the role involves gathering and examining primary data using mutually agreed qualitative collection methods, and subsequently producing qualitative insights regarding the operational dynamics of the RA-PURE ecosystem in Kenya.
Review, validate, and refine preliminary PHI values derived from the initial desk review by cross-referencing them with field-collected evidence obtained through Key Informant Interviews (Kids) and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs). Where discrepancies arise, update the values to ensure they accurately represent Kenya’s broader ago-energy ecosystem.
Conduct a detailed narrative assessment of each indicator, elucidating its importance, context, and alignment with program goals. For instance, when an indicator pertains to the quantity of knowledge products, the assessment must identify the nature of these products, the identities of their authors, and incorporate references or copies sourced from collaborating organizations. Additionally, where relevant, include links to publicly accessible or formally published materials.
The Partnership Harmonized Indicators are quantitative measures derived from the Partnership’s system signals, which serve as qualitative indicators to assess whether progress is being made and changes within the system are beginning to emerge.
