PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has contracted Creative Associates International to implement the Nigeria Lake Chad Basin (NLCB) Program, a quick-response mechanism supporting activities that support efforts to strengthen and extend stability and deny and undermine extremist or other groups, such as Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa (BH & ISIS-WA), and other relevant issue sets that arise from violent extremist organization (VEO) activity, in Lake Chad Basin (LCB) countries.
The USAID/OTI NLCB Program is a successor to the successful Nigeria Regional Transition Initiative (NRTI) launched in 2014 as the flagship program to address the Boko Haram insurgency. As a regional issue, the complexity of a peacebuilding response to the conflict requires a highly contextualized, localized response at individual, community and national levels in each of the countries of the Lake Chad Basin. As such, USAID/OTI is currently operating in all of the Lake Chad Basin countries where communication and coordination among all programs is critical.
The initial objectives of the NLCB program are to 1) Offer alternatives to extremist action for vulnerable individuals; 2) Increase community resilience to extremist action; 3) Strengthen the ability of moderate actors to engage in key communities prioritized for stabilization; and 4) Inform USG and non-USG stakeholders by providing analytical data on local, national and regional instability and/or violent extremist trends.
The program is implemented primarily through small grants at the community level, designed to address specific problems or requests. Activity processes are as important as activity outputs in contributing to the program’s strategic goal. Program objectives are not met solely by performing tasks under an activity, but rather through an inclusive locally-led process that brings the community (including GoN) together to realize goals and foster positive engagement.
POSITION SUMMARY
The Program Analyst processes the high volume of information generated by program activities, including learning activities, as well as open-source, third-party reporting and data collected by field staff to formulate program strategy recommendations to the senior management team. Reporting to the Deputy Chief of Party – Programs, the Program Analyst closely collaborates with the program’s Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Specialist as well as Reporting Officer to lead learning and communication efforts.
REPORTING & SUPERVISION
The Program Analyst reports to the Deputy Chief of Party – Programs, and works in close collaboration with the Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Specialist, the Reporting Officer, as well as the USAID/OTI Deputy Country Representative. The position is based in Abuja.
