CRS will be submitting a proposal in response to the 2019 USAID Food for Peace (FFP) Development Food Security Activities (DFSA) Request for Applications (RFA). CRS Kenya will serve as the prime on the application and will develop the proposal in consortium with other international non-governmental organizations, local implementing partners and international/national research institutions. The overarching goal of this multi-sectoral activity is to sustainably reduce levels of acute malnutrition in Kenya’s arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs), focusing on Isiolo, Marsabit, Samburu and Turkana counties. The estimated timeframe for this program is October 1, 2019 — September 30, 2024. The activity will be implemented in two phases:
The Strategic Learning Lead (SLL) will work closely with the Research & Design Lead and M&E Lead to promote a culture of coordination, collaboration, and continuous learning across all activities in the selected counties of implementation, including USG investments, county government initiatives, multilateral organizational efforts, and private sector investments. The SLL will work closely with the Research & Design Lead and M&E Lead to include active, intentional, and adaptive learning exercises within and across its multi-sectoral activities.
The SLL, in collaboration with the Research & Design Lead, will play a critical role in translating formative and implementation research findings (Phase 1) into and evidence-based activity design for Phase 2 implementation. To achieve this, s/he will organize and implement an appropriate system that captures, analyzes, utilizes, and disseminates learning elements useful for the DFSA program. Additionally, the SLL will improve peer-to-peer learning, knowledge sharing and application, activity-based capacity strengthening, evidence and data utilization, and CLA. Further, s/he will lead in collecting best practices and lessons learned on CRS’ achievements and organize relevant reviews of program activities on the team level. S/he will promote an evidence-based results approach to disseminating best practices. The SLL should have demonstrated experience in nutrition, food security, knowledge management, organizational learning, and capacity strengthening.
