Team Leader at Social Impact (SI) Tanzania

💥Social
Impact (SI) Tanzania Jobs, 2023

Project Description:
On January 19, 2023, USAID/Tanzania
awarded International Business Initiatives (IBI) and SI a four-year
contract for the Tanzania Monitoring, Evaluation, Learning and
Adaptation (T-MELA) Activity. This activity is to assist the
USAID/Tanzania Mission with strategy- and activity-level performance
monitoring, evaluation, and learning. This activity will also provide
data gathering and verification, data visualization (including
Geographic Information Systems), data quality assessments, impact and
performance evaluations, assessments, organizational learning, and
collaboration among USAID’s implementing partners and DO teams. The MEL
Support Platform will also implement a capacity building agenda for the
mission, developing a baseline of M&E knowledge within the mission
and tailoring a curriculum to provide skills development to mission
staff.

The Tanzania Vector Control Activity (TVCA) project is a
5-year USAID funded project focused on improving the health status of
women and youth by reducing the burden of malaria through increased
access to quality integrated services and improving their government
delivery through sustainable funding and capacity building of government
staff in vector control and prevention. The purpose of the TVCA is to
identify and implement proven, evidence-based vector control approaches
in Tanzania aimed at reducing the burden of malaria and moving towards
the long-term goal of malaria elimination.

TVCA focuses on
improving population level access to insecticide treated bed nets (ITNs)
in the fourteen PMI regions and in Zanzibar. This is done through
annual quantification of gaps in coverage and procurement and
distribution of the ITNs. The TVCA provides the Government of Tanzania
(GOT) and malaria partners with state-of-the-art reviews and advice
concerning new developments in vector control, and as appropriate,
develops plans for implementation of modified or new vector control
approaches in Tanzania. TVCA envisions a Tanzania where government
institutions and programs are empowered to use evidence in designing and
implementing efficient and effective vector control interventions – so
that every Tanzanian is protected from malaria. TVCA approach is
grounded in National Malaria Control Program’s (NMCP) and Zanzibar
Malaria Elimination Program’s (ZAMEP) National Strategic Plans.

Purpose and use of Lishe Endelevu Endline:
The Activity is centered around 5 main objectives:
1) OBJECTIVE 1: Determine the ITN population access among targeted
populations and the quantity of ITN needed in the coming year to
maintain population access to ITN.

2) OBJECTIVE 2: Deliver
Insecticide Treated Nets to targeted populations with Ministry of Health
(MOH), the President’s Office Regional Administration and Local
Government (PO-RALG), NMCP, ZAMEP, and progressively build Medical Store
Department (MSD) and Central Medical Stores (CMS) self-reliance

3) OBJECTIVE 3: Undertake activities to create an enabling environment to revive the commercial market for ITN

4) OBJECTIVE 4: Provide annual guidance on effectiveness of vector control interventions used in Tanzania

5) OBJECTIVE 5: Provide guidance on new evidence-based vector
control approaches that show potential for successful outcomes in
Tanzania and, when appropriate, assist with implementation of proven
approaches

This Mid-term evaluation of the TVCA Activity will be
used to improve the effectiveness of the activity during the remaining
performance period and inform the design of the follow-on mechanism. The
evaluation will document progress and changes, strengths, and
weaknesses, intended and unintended results and inform USAID Tanzania
and the national Malaria Control Program on future planning of vector
control interventions. The key audience for this evaluation is
USAID/Tanzania, NMCP, ZAMEP, PMI and TVCA and the Office of the
President of the Regional Administration and Local Government (PO-RALG).
