The Opportunity
LCA is a late-stage startup, now in its adolescent phase as an organization. It has made a transformative impact in Migori County, Kenya through its innovative community-based programs. The new Executive Director has the opportunity to build on a solid foundation of impact and lead LCA into the next season of growth and maturity. The organization has a robust strategic plan with actionable goals and measurable results. Reporting to the board of directors, the new ED will assume overall strategic and operational responsibility for LCA’s staff, programs, and finances and serve as a steadfast steward of the mission. The ED will ensure current strategy execution, future strategy development, and be the public face of the organization.

The organization’s place-based community model offers lessons with importance well beyond its rural location. LCA documents evidence of impact and purposefully shares these lessons with peer organizations to foster transferability to other similar settings. The new ED has the opportunity to further this work, positioning the organization as a center of excellence for community-based change in a rural setting with acute development needs.

Key Priorities & Responsibilities
1. Strategic Action
In partnership with our Kenya-based Managing Director and other senior staff, the ED will lead execution of our recently approved 2020 Strategy, including formulating annual work plans, driving program results through improved monitoring and evaluation systems, and evaluating new program ideas. The ED will also look ahead to 2030, envisioning the future state of the organization and planning organizational initiatives that align with that vision.

2. Staff Leadership and Management
The ED will champion an organizational culture that promotes “wholeness of life” in the staff and encourage excellent performance throughout LCA. He/she will ensure organizational structure and staffing levels support operational efficiency. The ED plays a key role in inspiring the staff in Kenya and the U.S. to embody the values of the organization and driving consistency, high performance, and constancy around the mission. He/she will also create the framework and tools for professional development, retention, and recruiting future staff while working to build meaningful relationships with U.S. and Kenya-based staff.

3. Build Financial Resources
With the support of the Partnerships and Communications Manager, the ED will cultivate strategic relationships with current and future partners and fundraise to meet the annual budget of $2M. The ED will lead the development and execution of a fundraising strategy to raise restricted and unrestricted institutional and individual funding at the $50k+ level. With active participation from the LCA board and development staff, the ED will ensure organizational financial health while implementing tactical and creative approaches to fundraising and visibility.

4. Champion the Mission and Lead by Example
As the external and internal ambassador of the community, the ED will tell the compelling story of LCA’s pursuit of holistic, comprehensive community support with health, education, and economic empowerment programs. The ED will ensure strong measurement and evaluation to capture impact and lessons learned that will be shared with the broader international development community. The ED will build LCA’s thought leadership through networking, writing, and speaking, as well as PR opportunities to gain exposure through external media.

5. Engage and Partner With the Board
Thoughtfully and meaningfully engage and partner with the board in strategic and fundraising activities. The ED will work in partnership with the Board Chair and committee chairs to recruit new board members, liaise with board committees, and facilitate quarterly board meetings. The ED should proactively engage board members as a sounding board, leveraging their capacity to support the organization and their functional expertise in fundraising, international development, business, and public health.

6. Ensure Financial Stability
Lead the annual budget approval process with the board of directors and ensure that all areas of the organization operate within the approved budget. In conjunction with the Board Treasurer, ensure revenues and expenses (actuals and projections) are updated in a timely manner. Implement metrics to link program outcomes to financial investment. In partnership with Board Treasurer and outside auditors, ensure annual audits are completed in the U.S. and Kenya.

Knowledge Management Volunteer – Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) Community of Practice

August 5th, 2015 in Practicums/Internships

Knowledge Management Volunteer – Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) Community of Practice

Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) was founded in 2002 with a transformational goal: help save the lives of millions of people living with HIV/AIDS in the developing world by dramatically scaling up antiretroviral treatment. Since then, CHAI has pursued several similarly ambitious goals, from scaling up pediatric AIDS treatment in order to achieve equity with adults in a timeframe few thought possible, to rapidly accelerating the rollout of new vaccines. Fundamental to CHAI’s approach is the use of data to define needs, identify actionable solutions and catalyze decision-making.

Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) is the practice of designing and executing systems for data collection, analysis and dissemination in order to inform programmatic and policy decision-making. M&E at CHAI has evolved as CHAI’s scope, scale, and areas of work have expanded. The Monitoring and Evaluation Community of Practice (MECoP), founded in July 2014, emerged as a grassroots initiative from M&E practitioners across CHAI who wanted to share experiences and best practices. Specifically, MECoP aims to create a platform for CHAI M&E practitioners to:

1. Share the diverse M&E expertise and experience across CHAI
2. Engage in collective problem-solving around specific questions regarding M&E
3. Discuss current and evolving trends in and approaches to M&E
4. Move towards a shared understanding of M&E best practices, with specific application to CHAI’s programs

These objectives are pursued through two primary means: (1) an online discussion forum, and (2) monthly calls dedicated to a specific M&E topic. Organizational interest in M&E has grown at CHAI, with MECoP membership exceeding 70, and MECoP is looking to strengthen its knowledge management systems. MECoP is seeking a Knowledge Management Volunteer to propose targeted strategies to strengthen knowledge sharing within MECoP, including designing and implementing a resource sharing system.

The ideal candidate is a self-starting individual with demonstrated organizational skills and a shared passion for M&E. The volunteer will be responsible for assessing MECoP’s current practices and identifying opportunities to strengthen knowledge sharing. In addition, the Volunteer will conduct literature reviews of topics in M&E, provide support in organizing monthly calls, and assemble and organize critical M&E resources into an appropriate file-sharing system.

Among the benefits to the candidate will be the opportunity to immerse her/his self in the current M&E literature, allowing the candidate to become well-versed in the most up-to-date best practices in the field. Additionally, the position offers the candidate an opportunity to interact with a diverse group of CHAI M&E staff from many topical program teams and country offices. Participation in the monthly calls will afford the Volunteer exposure to the wider range of M&E strategies across CHAI programs.

Specific responsibilities of the Volunteer include:

• Assess MECoP’s current practices and propose strategies to strengthen the capacity of MECoP to reach its stated objectives
• Identify an appropriate file-sharing system for MECoP
• Organize existing M&E literature and resources
• Conduct a literature review of M&E resources and update the file system as necessary
• Coordinate MECoP’s monthly calls
• This volunteer position would require around no more than 8 hours per week
• This position is unpaid
• Projected duration: ASAP for 3-4 months. Would consider a project start in Sept 2015.

Specific qualities sought in candidates include:

• Bachelor’s degree, preferably in a science-related field
• 2+ years experience working in a results-oriented environment
• Meticulous work ethic and strong attention to detail
• Tendency to overachieve or go above and beyond the required expectations
• Excellent organizational and problem solving skills
• Strong communication and writing skills
• Ability to work independently

Pluses:

• Experience working in M&E or another data-driven field
• Knowledge management experience
• Familiarity with issues in global health
