Value for Money Expert - Uganda Learning Activity Job Locations UG   Category Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning Type Regular Full-Time Close Date 10/31/2019 Overview QED is a global consulting firm with more than 20 years of experience providing data-driven and insightful solutions in close to 100 countries. We are passionate about transforming lives through knowledge-based solutions. Leveraging deep expertise in monitoring, evaluation, global health, and learning, we help our clients collect, analyze, visualize, and ultimately use data in more effective ways. Our work maximizes results through the use of cutting-edge technologies and innovation, organizational development, and evidence-based decision-making. Project Background   The purpose of the USAID Learning Activity (ULA) is to further strengthen USAID/Uganda performance and improve the performance of its Implementing Partners, with a focus on collaborating, learning and adapting, in order to enhance the impact and sustainability of USAID-supported contributions to Uganda’s development. The ULA will achieve this through three objectives: Collaboration:  Strengthened collaboration, both internally and with external stakeholders, enables USAID to better leverage expertise, learning and resources; and deepens local ownership Learning:  Systematic learning, through applied research, monitoring and evaluation, informs and improves the relevance, quality and cost- effectiveness of programs and operations Performing:  Adaptive management of program implementation and meta-level interventions to improve the quality of USAID program outcomes Scope for value for money (VfM) economist The evaluation will examine those implementation approaches and adaptations that drove GAPP’s success and/or failure. USAID and DFID are interested in examining the effectiveness, efficiency, equity and economy (4Es) of the GAPP activity. Using the DFID Value for Money (VfM) approach the evaluation will examine the 4Es to determine the appropriateness of DFID support. Value for Money Assessment The Value for Money Assessment (VfMA) will be carried out as part of the evaluation and VfM evidence incorporated into the inception and final reports. The VfM piece will focus on value of the programme cost-benefit analysis highlighting how economical, efficient, effective and equitable the programme has been throughout the years - both from an organizational and programmatic point of view. This VfMA assessment builds on DFID’s Approach to VfM.  And while the VfM is measured by examining the “4Es” of economy, efficiency, effectiveness, equity, and sustainability, the most important measure for this VfMA relates to cost-effectiveness i.e. – the level of impact, relative to the size of the programme investment using the DFID approach to VfM and OECD-DAC evaluation criteria as a broad guide but recognizing the limitations of the data available. Value for money analysis assesses whether the program has bought inputs of the right quality and price (economy), how well inputs are converted into outputs (efficiency), what impact the outputs are having (effectiveness), and how much impact the project has had relative to the cost of the inputs (cost effectiveness). Responsibilities S/he will support the evaluation team in providing concrete evidence on value for money. The consultant will focus primarily on providing value for money assessment for three identified approaches and interventions for the GAPP activity. S/he will contribute to the design of relevant tools, collect data, prepare and participate in the writing the report. S/he will take a lead role on the team to conduct a value for money assessment covering the three identified activity approaches, and interventions. Qualifications Master’s degree in economics, finance, public policy or related disciplines from recognized university. Minimum 5 years of working experience in undertaking cost-benefit/effective/utility analysis and/or value for money studies with international development projects. Previous experience of providing management advisory services on value for money at international organizations or development agencies.
