Program Officer, OSF’s Transparency & Accountability Initiative

June 22nd, 2011 in Jobs

PROGRAM OFFICER
TRANSPARENCY & ACCOUNTABILITY INITIATIVE OPEN SOCIETY FOUNDATIONS, (LONDON) FIXED-TERM CONTRACT TO DECEMBER 2012 (WITH POSSIBILITY OF EXTENSION)
The Open Society Foundations work to build vibrant and tolerant democracies whose governments are accountable to their citizens. To achieve this mission, the Foundations seek to shape public policies that assure greater fairness in political, legal, and economic systems and safeguard fundamental rights. On a local level, the Open Society Foundations implement a range of initiatives to advance justice, education, public health, and independent media. At the same time, we build alliances across borders and continents on issues such as corruption and freedom of information. The Foundations place a high priority on protecting and improving the lives of people in marginalized communities.
Investor and philanthropist George Soros established the Open Society Foundations, starting in 1984, to help countries make the transition from communism.  Our activities have grown to encompass the United States and more than 70 countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America.  Each Foundation relies on the expertise of boards composed of eminent citizens who determine individual agendas based on local priorities.
The Transparency and Accountability field is one of the fastest growing public movements of recent years. The International Budget Partnership, Transparency International, Revenue Watch Institute, Global Witness, the nascent aid transparency movement and many other leading civil society organisations have laid the groundwork. There is now a huge potential to make ambitious, concrete gains in the next decade by bringing together the different strands of what has emerged as a thriving movement of transparency and accountability initiatives worldwide.
The Transparency and Accountability Initiative is a donor collaborative that aims to seize this momentum and expand the impact, scale and coordination of funding and activity in the transparency and accountability field, as well as explore applications of this work in new areas. The Initiative was created by a group of global, private and government funders committed to strengthening democracy and development through empowering people to hold their governing institutions to account.
Without a better understanding of impact and better learning, transparency and accountability initiatives will not deliver on their promise. The Transparency and Accountability Initiative seeks a Program Officer to support its impact and learning working group. The goal of this working group is for funders and transparency/accountability practitioners to learn about where, when and how initiatives succeed, and use this knowledge to inform more effective transparency and accountability interventions that build on the field's past two decades of experience. We support longitudinal research across contexts and transparency and accountability sectors (e.g. budgets, freedom of information, natural resource governance) as well as case studies of policy and programmatic innovations. We support leading transparency and accountability organisations in designing their impact and learning programs. We are exploring the possibility of supporting long term institutional funding for transparency and accountability impact and learning initiatives.
The Program Officer will report to the T/A Initiative Program Manager. The position will be based at the London-based Open Society Foundations, which hosts the Transparency and Accountability Initiative.
We are looking for an individual with a passion and interest in transparency and accountability, together with broad experience in impact and learning tools and techniques. This position provides a unique opportunity to use knowledge of diverse methods in impact and learning to help strengthen, influence and improve the next generation of transparency and accountability initiatives.
The Transparency and Accountability Initiative is led by a diverse group of eight leading funders in the field that includes private foundations, a leading bilateral donor and regranting NGOs: Ford Foundation, Hivos, International Budget Partnership, Omidyar Network, Open Society Foundations, Revenue Watch Institute, United Kingdom Department for International Development and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. It is co-chaired by OSF and DFID.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
*         Ensure that the impact and learning working group delivers its intended outputs, working towards the group's overall outcome: a greater evidence base informs more effective transparency / accountability interventions
*         Lead the Transparency and Accountability Initiative's impact and learning network, which advises and supports the impact and learning approaches of leading civil society organisations working on transparency and accountability.
*         Manage the impact and learning network's mentorship scheme, commission learning products (e.g. case studies), design and manage an outwards facing web and networking presence
*         Commission, broker and manage longitudinal research programs across contexts and transparency and accountability sectors (e.g. budgets, freedom of information, natural resource governance, new technologies) and case studies of policy innovations (includes drafting ToRs, identifying researchers and research teams and representing the interests of TAI members in negotiations with researchers).
*         Quality control and oversight of commissioned research during implementation
*         Advise on avenues for long term institutional funding for transparency and accountability impact and learning initiatives
*         Liaise, collaborate and engage with the Initiative's other working groups on a pro active basis.
*         Develop additional funder/partner interest, specifically to engage with the working group when new funding opportunities are surfaced as a result of research and further idea development
*         Identify opportunistic moments to advance this work and vision of the initiative among partners, external players and/or events
*         Oversee the design and implementation of briefings on the impact and learning working group's findings
*         Act as a public representative of the initiative when necessary
QUALIFICATIONS:
*   Minimum Masters degree or equivalent in Economics, Development Studies, International Relations, Human Rights,  or any  other related field;
*   Extensive experience designing, developing and implementing impact and learning initiatives
*   Knowledge of evaluation and impact assessment methods including qualitative, quantitative, mixed and participatory methods.
*   Knowledge of and relevant experience in the transparency and accountability field, and, preferably, government and foundation funding communities.
*   Proven ability to think strategically, innovate, learn fast and interact with a multitude of stakeholders, and deliver outcomes.
*   Possess exceptional interpersonal skills, including relationship building, presentation skills, and partnership development
*   Ability to work independently and perform as a self-starter who can take initiative and sustain work with little supervision
*   Ability to work under pressure and on a range of tasks and meeting deadlines
If you are passionate about impact of transparency and accountability interventions, we encourage you to apply. We appreciate that multiple skills are required and that not all candidates will combine deep knowledge in both impact and learning as well as transparency and accountability.

Requesting volunteers for South Asian data collection (in California)

June 20th, 2011 in Jobs

An Alum sent along this California Bay Area opportunity:
Dear Colleague,
I am currently conducting a study measuring rates of and influences on culturally-specific tobacco products and assessing their potential impact on marked health disparities on South Asians in the United States.
I will be fielding a survey in ethnic enclaves in Northern (e.g., Fremont/Sunnyvale) and Southern (e.g., Artesia/Cerritos) California to examine these patterns.  Accordingly, I am requesting some volunteers to aid me in this effort.  The time/effort needed can be dictated by the volunteer, but generally will entail 2-3 hours on a given day.  We will be using an innovative sampling methodology to survey this population and it would be a good opportunity to get some "on-the-ground" experience in community-based research within the South Asian community.
For those who are academically-inclined and/or research-oriented, I am open to potential opportunities to publish with me once these data are collected.
I will enter the field for data collection in mid-July and data collection should run (intermittently) until the end of August.  Again, the specific details for volunteering can be dictated by the interested individual, in accord with the data collection protocol.
I hope that some of you will consider this opportunity to contribute to our understanding of South Asian health disparities and understanding potential targets for intervention.  Please do send this to any other distibution lists that may be appropriate. If you are interested, please email (or call) me and I can provide more details.
Best,
Arnab

International Diabetes Federation (IDF) Opportunity

June 20th, 2011 in Fellowships

One of our BUSPH Alum, Ms. Leonor Guariguata, has alerted us about an IDF opportunity for an IH/Epi student practicum hopefully to be conducted as soon as possible.
DETAILS:  The International Diabetes Federation wishes to be able to provide global estimates of the prevalence of gestational diabetes. An initial attempt at summarising the literature found that there were too many differences in methodology to be able to draw sensible conclusions about the prevalence (or incidence) of GDM in different parts of the world.
The issues are:
i) different definitions of GDM (i.e. different loads of glucose given at different time and different cut-offs). This is being addressed by a WHO consensus meeting and we anticipate that a report will be published later this year.
ii) most studies are clinic/hospital-based and do not allow for biases in the population represented by the hospital, e.g. age, ethnicity, socio-economic group. This may be more of a problem in low- and middle-income countries, where older women may be more likely to give birth at home, wealthier women may be more likely to give birth in large private health facilities, etc.
iii) GDM is defined as diabetes first detected during pregnancy. This means that previously undiagnosed diabetes will, by definition, be classified as GDM. In settings where the proportion of people with undiagnosed diabetes is high (e.g. 80-90% in many African countries) this could lead to high estimates of GDM that are in fact driven mostly by the under-lying prevalence of diabetes. Attributing the cause of diabetes to GDM or just DM could lead to very different interventions and policies.
The IDF model approach to GDM prevalence estimates is a stepped approach to gathering the data required to calculate adjusted estimates GDM prevalence. A simple spreadsheet tool takes input for each of the factors and calculates estimates that are adjusted for socio-economic status, ethnic mix, age and underlying prevalence of diabetes. The approached is "stepped" in that it is possible to use estimates for each of the factor, but also provides guidance on conducting surveys to determine up-to-date local estimates if resources are available.
IDF would like the practicum student to do the following:
i) review the calculations set up in a spreadsheet;
ii) complete the final set of calculations in the spreadsheet (more details will be provided to the student)
iii) use the spreadsheet (i.e. IDF model approach) to adjust some published estimates of GDM prevalence. It will probably be necessary to search for data to fill in the spreadsheet (e.g. age=-specific fertility rates) and also to make some best-guess estimates for other elements.
iv) write a report on findings, with an option to co-author a publication depending on time
The student will work from home and have regular conference calls with the epidemiology team at the IDF global office in Brussels.
