About the Position
USAID's Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (USAID/BHA) seeks to conduct the third Food Aid and Food Security Assessment (FAFSA-3) review of the qualitative and quantitative information available from a variety of resilience food security activity (RFSA) stakeholders and in documentation and evaluations of RFSA activities during the period from 2016 to 2021. The aim of the FAFSA-3 review is to document the overall achievements of USAID's RFSA activities to identify what has been successful, what has been less successful, and what might need to be changed to make them more effective and better fit to context and aligned with BHA's Mission and ER4 Strategic framework. This includes assessing the approaches adopted and results achieved in the principal technical sectors and thematic areas identified by the FFP 2016-2025 Food Assistance and Food Security Strategy as central to responding to the challenge posed by hunger and identifying promising practices, innovations, lessons learned, strengths, weaknesses, and constraints to achieving results. While technical review is emphasized, FAFSA-3 will also assess the extent to which the objectives, approaches, planning, and management changes proposed in the Second Food Aid and Food Security Assessment (FAFSA-2) and the FFP 2016-2025 Food Assistance and Food Security Strategy were adopted and how these changes influenced the program. The review will include recommendations for future program directions in light of assessment findings and changes in the legislative, organizational, policy, and development environment. In-country assessment will take place in up to five RFSA priority regions and countries where RFSA programs have been implemented.
Dexis is seeking a Strategy and Process Evaluation Specialist consultant to provide support under the Technical Assistance Project for Economic Growth (TAP-EG). Under TAP-EG, Dexis is supporting the third Food Aid and Food Security Assessment (FAFSA-3) review of the qualitative and quantitative information available from a variety of resilience food security activity (RFSA) stakeholders and in documentation and evaluations of RFSA activities during the period from 2016 to 2021. The Consultant will review "sequencing, layering and integrating" aspects of RFSA programs being under the FAFSA-3 review. This includes assessing how BHA programming has leveraged with other USAID interventions, how sustainability planning was included (or not included) into programming, programmatic approaches undertaken in different scenarios, how different USAID programs including BHA programs were co-located and capitalized on each other in resilience focus zones, among others.
