Type: Regular Full-Time

Background

The DRC is a strategic priority for the U.S. Government (USG) due to its large size and regional importance. Despiteits tremendous economic potential, it is among the world's least developed countries. Since problematic nationalelections in 2011, the DRC has been mired in political turmoil, characterized by a perception of state illegitimacy. Thepresence of numerous insurgent groups across eastern DRC gives rise to large human displacements. These eventshave destabilized the Great Lakes region, which is a major priority of the United Nations (UN) and the United States.Staff are required to focus on monitoring partner security and program effectiveness in active conflict zones. TheNovember 2013 defeat of the M23 rebels, by the Armed Forces of the DRC and UN forces, and the subsequent easingof the USG travel ban to North Kivu in March 2014, resulted in more opportunities to complete limited site visits andto meet implementing partners in their Goma offices. Despite this easing of restrictions, travel throughout theCongoremains difficult due to poor or non-existent roads and airlines with the world's worst air safety records. Majorsecurity concerns, for implementing partners and Congolese counterparts, in parts of the country make achievingprogram results particularly challenging.

USAID/DRC is a rapidly growing Mission and projected to grow further. USAID/DRC’s Fiscal Year (FY)
2015 Foreign Assistance Budget request is $246 million (including all of USAID managed President’s
Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief funding), with an anticipated additional $100 million in humanitarian assistanceprogrammed in FY 2015 (FY 2014 humanitarian assistance was $123 million). The Mission's complex bilateral programincludes major activities in eight different areas: education; stabilization and conflict mitigation; democracy, humanrights, and governance; health; social protection; economic growth; and food security and humanitarian assistance.

USAID/DRC is dedicated to advancing the broader Agency organizational learning and development policy effort calledCollaborating, Learning, and Adapting (CLA), whereby the causal pathways to desired outcomes are continuouslyassessed so that activities can be adjusted as necessary to yield the most effective course of action. Achievement of thedevelopment goal, and related development and transition objectives, will require rigorous implementation ofmonitoring, evaluation, learning and adaptation tools, methods and processes at each step in the program cycle. Thiswill be accomplished through participatory processes, partially supported by this contract, that engage a broad set ofstakeholders and sources of information. This learning will then be fed back, in appropriate forms, to USAID technicalstaff and other partners as appropriate. The goal of CLA is to increase the effectiveness and relevance of programs; tocatalyze learning and capacity building among local actors to support country-led development; and tosustain anoptimal fit between programs and the broader context even as country conditions change. The CLA process willenable USAID/DRC to become a more adaptive, modern and effective development enterprise – CLA is a centralcomponent of the Mission’s strategy and thus an integral element of theMonitoring, Evaluation, and CoordinationContract (MECC).
