Washington, United States Solidarity Center Full time

𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 – 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀


Introduction

Headquartered in Washington, D.C., with offices in more than 20 countries and programs in 60+ countries, the Solidarity Center (SC) is the largest U.S.-based international worker rights organization helping workers attain safe and healthy workplaces, family-supporting wages, dignity on the job, widespread democracy and greater equity at work and in their community. Allied with the AFL-CIO, the SC assists workers across the globe as, together, they fight discrimination, exploitation and the systems that entrench poverty—to achieve shared prosperity in the global economy. The SC acts on the fundamental principle that working people can, by exercising their right to freedom of association and forming trade unions and democratic worker rights organizations, collectively improve their jobs and workplaces, call on their governments to uphold laws and protect human rights, and be a force for democracy, social justice and inclusive economic development.


The SC engages with more than 900 partners around the world, including 500 trade unions, worker associations and communities, to provide a wide range of education, training, research, legal support and other resources to help build strong and effective trade unions and more just and equitable societies. Programs focus on human and worker rights awareness, union skills, occupational safety and health, economic literacy, human trafficking, women’s empowerment and bolstering workers in an increasingly informal economy. SC programs support and contribute to the global movement for labor rights.


The SC is funded through grants/cooperative agreements primarily from the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the U.S. Department of State (in particular, the Bureau for Human Rights, Democracy and Labor (DRL)) and the U.S. Department of Labor (Bureau of International Labor Affairs), as well as private foundations and individuals. The SC’s annual revenue has steadily risen from nearly $42M in 2020 to $74M in 2023. Unlike other international organizations that receive primarily bilateral or country-specific awards, the bulk of SC’s awards are global under which it implements multiple projects in various countries.


Integrated Systems and Knowledge Management Assessment


Background


The SC has established grants, financial, and operational management systems in place and is seeking to enhance its integrated systems and knowledge management platforms to align with organizational growth.1 The SC is interested in assessing the organization’s integrated systems and knowledge management systems needs, particularly with regard to its grants management needs in conjunction with its financial reporting and tracking mechanisms. This investment in globally-integrated systems will enhance the organization’s coordination, resilience and

efficiency; enable it to better respond to global shocks and crises and evaluate its existing metrics; and ultimately, multiply its impact and reach to be more effective pursuing its mission.


The assessment will include assessing learning and evaluation platforms, grants management, financial accounting, knowledge sharing, internal communications, and digital security and providing actionable recommendations. The recommendations will lead to improvements that will be crucial not only for the organization's own operations and infrastructure, especially given the increasing threats to labor activists worldwide, but also for increasing the effectiveness of its support to 1,000+ grassroots union partners.


Assessment Objectives


The assessment outcomes would support the SC to invest in a plan to improve and/or replace current systems. The goal is to match programmatic growth with strong, coherent infrastructure and support systems. Due to the current and projected growth of the organization, the intention to examine systems more holistically, and the availability of resources, the SC is looking for an external entity to conduct a systems assessment. The desired outcomes are the following:

● to map the organization’s current internal systems (technology and platforms to support finance, grants management, data, security, internal communications, and interconnectedness, among others)

● to identify any gaps in internal systems

● to identify requirements

● to understand needs from a diverse set of stakeholders

● to provide actionable recommendations on system improvements that are responsive to identified needs


The organization has established existing internal controls. The assessment will not heavily focus on workflow solutions, staffing, or structure. The goal of the assessment is to provide organization wide efficiency and effectiveness recommendations as they relate to technology, platforms, and software.


This assessment is the first phase of a long term work plan to upgrade current internal systems (technology, platforms, and software) infrastructure. To prepare for this assessment, the organization conducted an initial mapping of current systems, gaps and challenges, and requirements by interviewing internal stakeholders. Detailed takeaways from this process will be shared with the selected consultant.


Areas for Assessment:


● Existing Systems and Platforms:

o Financial management and accounting

o Expense reporting

o Program/grants/awards management

o Knowledge, monitoring, evaluation, and learning, data management

o Subawards and contract administration, monitoring, and management

o Internal communications

● AI tools

o The SC is interested in better understanding how AI tools (such as Grants Assistant) might be explored and/or utilized to support efficiency and effectiveness.

 

The consultant should have broad expertise in systems (technology, platforms, and software) and be able to bridge the gap between field operations and DC based collaborators and decision-makers. They should understand the interconnected nature of the organization’s needs and develop tailored solutions that are fit for purpose. The consultant should also have demonstrated knowledge of federal funding rules and regulations.


Deliverables


1) Detailed Assessment Report that identifies organizational systems strengths, weaknesses, requirements, and recommendations with a focus on the following:2

● mapping that outlines findings of the current state of systems

● updates or additions that are needed to systems infrastructure to ensure integrated systems that maximize efficiency, automate tasks as appropriate, streamline workflows, and provide real-time data access

● identifies potential AI tools to support effectiveness and efficiency and outlines privacy and security considerations

● the most critical areas requiring attention with recommendations for prioritization

● organizational training needs to use and manage recommended systems; and

● recommendations on system changes/improvements. Recommendations should include interim and long term solutions

o tiered recommendations that respond to the most urgent systems and knowledge management needs as well as longer term comprehensive platforms

o recommendations on staffing needed to manage technology, platforms, and software systems as appropriate


2) Discussion of assessment findings with Systems Core Team (Director of Finance, Controller, Director of PQLC, Director of IT, and Senior Advisor to the ET)


3) Presentation of findings to the Executive Team


4) Final Assessment Report and recommendations
