Title of Assignment | Support coordination of 2-3 high value regional partnerships to help steward them for longer term engagement | |
Hiring Section | Public Private Partnerships (PPP), ESAR | |
Location | Remote with travel to CO’s for support in donor missions when needed | |
Duration | 11 months | |
One such partnership that PPP team has secured is with Latter-Day Saints Charities (LDSC) which supports programmes in over 13 countries and in 2024 is expected to be of over $10 million in value. The partner usually confirms their contribution year on year and supports funding for programme sections and PPP to help us steward the relationship and coordinate better.
To ensure we can renew the partnership on time and maintain this level of contribution, the ESARO PPP Team is looking for an expert to support keeping an oversight on timelines of implementation, ensure coordination with country offices and regional team on partner visibility, support informal updates to the partner and ensure better quality of reporting and alignment of reports to the proposals.
This consultancy will also support strengthening of new proposals to the donor through the course of the year.
The recently secured partnership with LDSC is their first largest commitment from an area office. The donor is decentralizing the processes and wants a stronger oversight on the partnership. Both for us and the partner this is a new way of working. The consultant will help standardize some of these with the country offices and support the Partnerships Specialist through in effectively managing the partnership. We have built budgets for support with partnership management and for support to country offices in the proposals.
Scope of Work
Goal and objective: Under the supervision of the Partnerships Specialist in the PPP section in ESARO, the consultant will manage an oversight on proposals, grant implementation, donor visibility and reports for LDSC and potentially one more donor to:
RO & CO staff have the tools and skills necessary to engage both public & private sector actors to secure high-impact financial & non-financial partnerships to further regional priorities.
Most of private sector incomes for RO and CO’s in the region are through NatComs and global donors. We are seeing a trend in some donors localizing their engagement with UNICEF. LDSC is one such donor where we work with 2 area offices and have multiple grants. We have recently secured a $6 million commitment for 2024-2025 with a potential to extend for 2 more years. Stressing on the need for us to have a strong donor stewardship. The consultant will work closely with partnerships specialist and the 13 country offices being supported in 2024 to help create processes and build coordination tools to help us manage the donor well.
