Contribution Analyst – Evaluation of Transition Initiatives for Stabilization Plus
Position Description
As part of SPSS, IBTCI seeks candidates for the position of Contribution Analyst for an evaluation of the Transition Initiatives for Stabilization Plus (TIS+) program. TIS+ seeks to promote stabilization in Somalia through good governance, economic growth and countering violent extremism. The purpose of the activity is to foster participatory processes that promote good governance and community cohesion. TIS+ activities will contribute to improvements in government service delivery, leading to strengthened governance and community cohesion. Communities will be supported with access to livelihoods, income generation, and basic community infrastructure.
The TIS+ task order will run from November 2016 to July 2019. This position will run from December 2016 – August 2017, with the possibility of extending for the remaining two years, and the estimated total LOE for the first year is 126 days.
