- 7-10 years- Panagora Group is a U.S. small business that provides technical and advisory services related to monitoring, evaluating, and learning USAID/Colombia's strategy and activities. The Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning Short-Term Activity (MELSA) provides monitoring support services: designing and implementing performance and impact evaluations, as well as other studies and assessments, supporting their use and dissemination, and developing collaboration, learning, and adapting initiatives.
- MELSA is conducting the performance evaluation of USAID/Colombia’s Private Sector Engagement (PSE). This evaluation aims to gather evidence about the results and lessons of USAID/Colombia's Private Sector Engagement (PSE) and the sustainability of its interventions during the current Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS) timeframe. In addition, this evaluation should outline the Mission's PSE approach and provide evidence of good practices, opportunities for improvement, and course correction actions that can inform USAID interventions with a PSE component and the next CDCS (2025- 2030).
Since 2018, the Agency's PSE Policy was launched, USAID/Colombia has prioritized and recognized the importance of aligning with the policy's four principles: 1. Engage early and often; 2. Incentivize and value PSE throughout planning and programming; 3. Expand the use of USAID approaches and tools that unlock the potential of the private sector; and 4. Build and act on the evidence of what works and what does not in PSE. The proposed evaluation would cover USAID/Colombia's alignment with the PSE policy and provide new evidence on the conditions, drivers, results, and sustainability of this approach.
As part of the evaluation team, MELSA seeks an agricultural economist (or related fields) with expertise in the milk and cassava value chains. The following are some of the key responsibilities and requirements for the position.
**Responsibilities**:
- Lead the case study of USAID Global Development Alliance (GDA) Bitter Cassava for a Sweet Milk (BCSM) implemented by Colanta for answering questions 3 and 6, following the scope of work guidelines.
- Review primary and secondary information sources related to the milk and cassava value chains, production, processing, commercialization, market systems development, market-based solutions, organic fertilizers for agriculture, promotion of inclusive markets, and related issues.
- Participate in the qualitative instruments coding process and contribute with a thematic revision of the process in creating the codebook.
- Support the qualitative and quantitative data analysis for the reports and presentations mentioned in the deliverables. This covers the data triangulation process and its corresponding qualitative and quantitative analysis to answer each evaluation question as requested by the team leader.
- Support the Team Leader in preparing reports and presentations for USAID and the Implementing Partner. This includes any required participation in the final presentation and report
