Country: Uganda Organization: Tiko Closing date: 2 Dec 2024 Background and context Established in 2014, Tiko is a non-profit organisation that leverages technology and behavioural insights to design, implement, and scale access to sexual reproductive health (SRH) services among adolescents and young people (AYP) aged 15-24 years. Using the Tiko platform, Tiko Uganda connects low-income adolescents and young people with non-judgmental, quality-assured SRH services that meet their specific needs. We envision a world where all AYP have the power to choose where, when, and how they meet their SRH needs. Further, Tiko connects partners and actors across demand and supply to give young people access to quality SRH products and services, thereby enabling young people to: postpone or prevent unplanned pregnancies, know their HIV status, use Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) to reduce their risk of HIV acquisition, adhere to Antiretroviral Therapy (ART), screen for and obtain support to address mental health challenges and acquire the necessary skills to secure income or entrepreneurship opportunities. In Uganda, Tiko has successfully established an ecosystem of partners, including private clinics, community pharmacies and public facilities, as well as Community-Based Organizations (CBOs). Our work in Kampala is dedicated to empowering adolescents and young people (aged 15-24 years) to access essential services, such as contraceptives, HIV testing, ART, PrEP and mental health. We achieve this through a multi-faceted approach: Empowering AYP to have a voice and hold providers to account to ensure that SRH, HIV and mental health services are responsive to their needs Leveraging the private sector (clinics, pharmacies and direct-to-consumer service providers) to provide SRH, HIV and mental health services for AYP, enabling them to make choices of where to access these services and complementing the public sector Enabling availability and visibility of near real-time service delivery data including; individuals enrolled and referred for services, services provided, active clinics and service integration, among others Service integration and availability of SRH and HIV services - HIV testing, PrEP, ART, as well as mental health, enable AYP to choose where, when, and how they meet their health needs. The need to optimise the functionality of the Youth and Adolescent Peers (YAPs) programme to ensure that it fully achieves its stated mandate to contribute to the reduction of HIV-related morbidity and mortality among adolescents and young people living with HIV Through these interventions, we aim to improve the agency of young people aged 15-24 years to take up and sustain the use of contraceptives, mental health services and HIV prevention and treatment services. Purpose of the Evaluation The programme has been implemented in Kampala since August 2023. This endline evaluation focuses on the entire implementation period. This evaluation aims to capture lessons learned while providing insights into the effectiveness, impact, and sustainability of the Tiko programme in meeting its objectives. The evaluation will critically examine the design, scope, and implementation status of the Tiko programme, assessing its capacity to enhance access to services and empowerment for young people (AYP) and adolescent peer supporters (YAPS). Through a detailed analysis of achievements, challenges, and best practices encountered during implementation, this evaluation will offer guidance for the programme’s strategic direction in the next phase. Specifically, the evaluation will focus on four primary objectives: Determine the extent to which the Tiko app improves the satisfaction, performance and retention of Young People and Adolescent Peer Supporter (YAPS) on the platform. Determine the extent to which Tiko’s call centre approach improves AYP’s access to information and HIV services on the Tiko platform. Determine the extent to which Tiko’s KP Navigators increase the ability of hard-to-reach AYP to access HIV testing, HIV self-testing, ART and PrEP services.

Country: Jordan Organization: IMPACT Initiatives Closing date: 11 Dec 2024 BACKGROUND ON IMPACT AND REACH REACH was born in 2010 as a joint initiative of two International NGOs (IMPACT Initiatives and ACTED) and the United Nations Operational Satellite Applications Programme (UNOSAT). REACH’s purpose is to promote and facilitate the development of information products that enhance the humanitarian community’s decision making and planning capacity for emergency, reconstruction and development contexts. REACH facilitates information management for aid actors through three complementary services: (a) need and situation assessments facilitated by REACH teams; (b) situation analysis using satellite imagery; (c) provision of related database and (web)-mapping facilities and expertise. IMPACT Initiatives is a humanitarian NGO, based in Geneva, Switzerland. The organisation manages several initiatives, including the REACH Initiative. The IMPACT team comprises specialists in data collection, management and analysis and GIS. IMPACT was launched at the initiative of ACTED, an international NGO whose headquarter is based in Paris and is present in thirty countries. The two organizations have a strong complementarity formalized in a global partnership, enabling IMPACT to benefit from ACTED’s operational support on its fields of intervention. We are currently looking for a REACH Assessment Officer to support our REACH Yemen team. Department:REACH Position: Assessment Officer – Multiplier Effect of Cash Study Contract duration: 6 months Location: Amman, Jordan Starting Date: 1st of December 2024 COUNTRY PROFILE Nine years since the escalation of the current conflict, high humanitarian needs are reported in Yemen with 18.2 million people in need of humanitarian assistance. Severe deterioration of economic conditions, extensive damaged civilian infrastructure and the collapse of basic services are key drivers of large-scale vulnerabilities and needs countrywide. Approximately 17.6 million people in Yemen are likely to be severely food insecure in 2024, not necessarily because food is unavailable, but because they cannot afford to purchase it. 15% of Yemen's population are displaced, most of whom have been displaced multiple times over a number of years, with about 1.5 Mil IDPs living across 2,400+ IDP sites. Overall, 80% of the population live below the poverty line. The loss of livelihoods, when combined with the depreciation and general volatility of the Yemeni currency, has made the purchase of basic everyday necessities difficult for most Yemenis. The use of Multipurpose Cash Assistance (MPCA) has gained significant traction in the humanitarian and development fields. Since 2018, the MPCA has been widely implemented in Yemen as an efficient response modality to multisectoral needs. Beyond its direct benefits to the targeted populations, the MPCA is having an impact on the local economic activities. To deepen the understanding of the economic effect of cash assistance in Yemen, and to refine intervention strategies, the Cash Consortium of Yemen, in collaboration and REACH Yemen conducted a pilot study examining the multiplier effect of cash assistance (MEoC). This seven-month project, spanning between October 2023 to April 2024, revealed that the MPCA successfully increased local economic activities at different rates, across various locations in Yemen. These findings underscore the significant economic impact of MPCA on local economies, highlighting cash assistance as a powerful tool for shaping humanitarian and development programming across Yemen. In order to widen our understanding on the ways in which MPCA programming contributes to the wider economic resilience, and drawing upon the lessons learned from the previous project, a new iteration of this MEoC assessment will analyze how the multiplier effect of the cash assistance changes across time and locations. Mission POSITION PROFILE REACH Yemen is seeking for an Assessment Officer (AO) to led the second iteration of the Multiplier Effect of Cash study.

We strive to create workplaces where teams of people with diverse backgrounds, characteristics, perspectives, ideas and experiences work together to advance MSF's social mission and create better outcomes for our patients and the communities we work with. We understand that some people may hesitate to apply for employment if they don't meet all listed job requirements. Research shows that this is especially true for women. If you believe your profile is a good match for this position, we invite you to apply even if you don’t fulfill every listed qualification. We encourage applications from individuals of all genders, ages, sexual orientations, ethnicities, background, religions, beliefs, ability status, and all other diversity characteristics. MSF does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of discrimination or harassment, including sexual harassment. All selected candidates will undergo reference checks. Context & mission Médecins Sans Frontières is an independent, international medical and humanitarian organization that provides care to people in need, people affected by natural or man-made disasters, and victims of armed conflict, without discrimination and without regard to race, religion, creed or political affiliation (MSF Charter). The MSF movement is built around 5 operational centers supported by 24 sections and offices worldwide. MSF Operational Center Geneva (MSF OCG) is one of these centers. The Emergency Preparedness and Support Unit (EU) is a continuation of the different mechanisms put in place by OCG since 2017 to better support our ambitions in terms of Emergency Reponse (ER). ER is a critical pillar in the OCG Strategic Plan, necessitating collaboration across various departments. The goal is to ensure a truly transversal, multidisciplinary approach, reinforcing ER within the Operations Departments and ensuring its integration into the planning of all departments and teams at all levels of the organization. The Head of the EU will be responsible to directly lead a team of 5 persons, to steer the 4 workstreams defined for our Emergency Preparedness and Support; (1) Surveillance & Scanning (2) Preparedness, (3) Response and (4) Strategic Learning & Adpatation. The Head of Unit will be responsible to maintain an overview of all workstreams, developing the necessary mechanisms and supports for Surveillance, EPREP and Learning, and coordinating and providing the necessary support for Response. Since the creation of the first ER support unit in 2017 there have been several evaluations of our Emergency Response and most recently of the E Unit that was created in 2021. This latter review, completed by the Vienna Evaluation Unit in May 2024 has led to several changes, in the setup, but also in the way that we want to better integrate ER at all levels ensuring that it remains at the very core of the OCG action today and for the future. The main change in terms of setup is to separate the Emergency Preparedness and Support Unit from the management of the Emergency Cell that will remain focused on response. The management of all emergency operations as well as programme decisions remain under the direct responsibility of the Programme Managers and the Director of Operations. Tasks & Responsibilities Under the supervision of the Director of Operations, the Head of Emergency Preparedness and Support Unit (EU) plays a pivotal role in supporting the delivery of effective emergency response within OCG.

To update the guidance necessary for mission teams to develop their EPREP strategies. The Head of the EU must have an overview of global and mission level EPREPs, ensuring coherence between at local, regional, and global levels, and that this overview is updated in real time, and accessible to key stakeholders.
