Project Overview:
DT Global is implementing the Somalia Transition Initiatives for Stabilization Plus (TIS+) Program, which is a $66.9 million, USAID-funded program that promotes good governance and community cohesion. TIS+ is implemented in Mogadishu, Lower Shabelle, and Puntland, with possible expansion to other communities across Somalia.
The primary objective of this contract is to 1) Increase confidence in governance based on equitable participation in decision making and management of community assets. Additional crosscutting objectives are to: 2) Empower community and government representatives to engage with private sector and development actors in a collaborative process for community growth; 3) Increase Somali engagement in creating a more stable future; and 4) Support inclusive, sustainable development by reducing gender gaps in stabilization and development.
The TIS+ Program requires sound leadership, strong program organizational management and excellent communication skills, as well as political and security analysis and monitoring and evaluation abilities. The Deputy Chief of Party (DCOP) will develop technical strategies for effective programming that promote stabilization efforts and oversee the research and analysis of the local political context. In this capacity, the DCOP will enhance the program’s understanding of the pressures and prospects for moving Somalia along the foundational governance spectrum from stabilization to community restoration. Furthermore, the DCOP will identify opportunities for and design programming interventions that will allow Somali communities and citizens to become change agents in the government. The DCOP will work closely with the Chief of Party, Program Implementation Director (PID), and USAID to create quick-impact program interventions that complement and lead to the development of appropriate in-kind and grant activities.
