Consultant - SWOLL Assessment of the Forest & Biodiversity Support Activity (FABS)
Short Term Technical Assignment
Democratic Republic of Congo
Company Profile:
SoCha (meaning “Social Change”) is an independent Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) firm that provides bespoke solutions to social challenges. We are a US-registered, veteran-owned small business and staff support offices in Nairobi, Bangkok and Mauritius. SoCha currently supports assistance interventions across Asia and Africa.
Background:
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) launched the Forest and Biodiversity Support Activity (FABS) in 2020 to contribute to maintaining the ecological integrity of Central Africa's humid forest ecosystem. With the current contract ending in August 2025, USAID seeks to design the next phase, FABS II, which will run to July 2029. To inform the new design, USAID requires a rapid Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Lessons Learned (SWOLL) assessment of FABS's final year. The assessment will rely on a desk review and key informant interviews (KIIs) to generate recommendations for improving future activities. MSSP will provide support and guidance during the assignment, while the Consultant will lead and execute the entire process on the ground.
Scope of work:
The Consultant will be responsible for leading, coordinating, and executing the SWOLL assessment process. This will involve reviewing project documents, conducting interviews with key stakeholders, and developing a report and presentation to inform USAID’s planning for FABS II. The consultant will work independently but will receive technical and logistical support from MSSP throughout the process.
