Honduras: Chief of Party

Organization: Creative Associates International
Country: Honduras
Closing date: 30 Sep 2017

Project Summary

The goal of USAID/Honduras’s proposed Improving Tertiary Violence Prevention activity (ITVP) is to reduce recidivism within targeted populations of the highest-risk juveniles. The development hypothesis for this activity is that if high-quality, tertiary violence prevention services, specialized and targeted by risk levels, are provided to identified juvenile populations at the highest risk, (e.g., those already involved with gangs, crime or the court system), then the repeated criminal and violent offenses by these individuals will be reduced, ultimately contributing to reducing crime and violence in their communities.

USAID understands that a small number of state and non-state actors currently provide a very limited array of services to these populations. However, several fundamental challenges exist which limit the sufficiency, coherence and adequacy of these services to effectively reduce recidivism.

Through this new five-year activity, USAID will seek improved Human and Institutional Capacity Development (HICD) and technical proficiency of state and non-state actors seeking to provide high-quality, specific and targeted services to juvenile tertiary populations. To qualify for support, these actors must be providing (or seeking to provide) services that are explicitly linked to preventing recidivism and likely centered on the themes of rehabilitation, reintegration and the reduction of stigma.

Position Summary

The Chief of Party will be responsible for the technical leadership and in-country management of the project. S/he will oversee the long-term expatriate and local staff and short-term experts in achieving project results. S/he will undertake regular assessments of the broader political environment within which the project operates to ensure flexibility and rapid reprioritization of activities when necessary. The COP must be a highly qualified with substantial, multi-country comparative experience in donor-funded democracy and governance improvement projects. The COP shall serve as the primary point of contact with USAID/Honduras with regard to day-to-day implementation and management matters relating to the contract. The COP shall reside in Honduras for the life of the project. S/he shall have overall responsibility for ensuring quality control, the appropriateness and overall responsiveness of all assistance provided under the contract, whether by long- or short-term advisors or others.
