Overview of the Position

Program Cycle Specialists (PCM Specialists) are members of a network providing technical support and advisory services to USAID. They work across design, strategy development, monitoring, evaluation, and the set of USAID organizational learning practices (collaborating, learning, and adapting or CLA) to ensure cohesive connections among evidence generation processes and decision-making processes.

The PCM Specialists serve in an advisory and capacity-building role for Program Cycle-related functions (e.g., strategic planning, design, monitoring, evaluation, and CLA) within USAID Missions, Offices, Bureaus, and Operating Units. They are meant to supplement rather than substitute for existing Agency capacity. PCM Specialists fill critical gaps by working collaboratively with USAID teams to develop high quality products and processes that will serve as solid examples, models and guidance for future staff, as well as build the capacity of the staff involved in the process so that they are prepared to take the lead. All PCM Specialists build capacity and provide technical assistance to USAID staff on cohesive implementation of the USAID programming operational guidance as reflected in the USAID Program Cycle.

Specific Opportunity: Conflict and Fragility Strategic Planning Advisor

Social Solutions International, Inc. is currently seeking a candidate to serve as a Conflict and Fragility Advisor to the Office of Strategic and Program Planning (SPP) in the Bureau for Planning, Learning and Resource Management (PLR). The Global Fragility Act (GFA) and accompanying U.S. Strategy to Prevent Conflict and Promote Stability outline a new vision for the USG Interagency to promote peacebuilding and stabilization efforts in conflict affected and fragile regions. The GFA and SPCPS are connected to the 2023 USAID Policy Framework and highly linked to interagency policy initiatives on Women, Peace and Security, Atrocity Prevention, Democracy and Anti-corruption as well as Countering Violent Extremism.

The Conflict and Fragility Strategic Planning Advisor will provide guidance on strategic planning processes and USAID operational policy to the Interagency SPCPS team, while providing direct support to USAID Regional Bureaus and Missions and amplifying conflict-related learning to contribute to new USAID approaches to doing business. Their primary duty will be to coordinate with GFA Focal Regional Bureaus and Missions and with the USAID Bureau for Conflict Prevention and Stabilization. In addition, they will participate in Interagency lines of effort with stakeholders at the Department of State Conflict and Stabilization Operations, the Department of Defense Office of the Secretary of Defense, and on occasion the National Security Council. In particular, the Conflict and Fragility Strategic Planning Advisor contributes to the Interagency Strategic Global MEL Team for SPCPS with a focus on learning. The Conflict and Fragility Strategic Planning Advisor will work closely with the GFA Policy Advisor within PLR and the GFA Secretariat Deputy Coordinator within CPS to streamline efforts to elevate approaches to peacebuilding.

The Conflict and Fragility Strategic Planning Advisor will support strategic planning at USAID through development and dissemination of tools and approaches fit for working in complex, non-permissive, and conflict-affected environments while providing direct support to SPCPS focal Missions and Regional Bureaus on key program cycle requirements. The Conflict and Fragility Strategic Planning Advisor will participate in SPCPS interagency coordination and contribute to strategic and global SPCPS MEL initiatives.
