Consultancy position, from 1 November 2023 – 30 April 2024, remote, with fieldwork in Uganda.

The Team Leader will manage a team of international and Ugandan experts in delivering the evaluation, which will examine the USAID/Uganda Securing Peace and Promoting Prosperity (EKISIL) Activity’s contributions to conflict mitigation and management for populations in Karamoja, Uganda.

The performance evaluation will entail a desk review, fieldwork to conduct primary data collection, synthesis of findings, and development of utilization-focused recommendations. The Team Leader will provide technical leadership for all aspects of the evaluation. This includes leading evaluation design and implementation, production of deliverables, client and stakeholder engagement, and day-to-day management of the evaluation team to ensure high-quality services and outputs that meet the client’s needs. The Team Leader will work closely with the Peacebuilding, Evaluation, Analysis, Research, and Learning (PEARL) Task Order Manager, Senior Learning & Outreach Specialist, and Integrity Home Office Activity Management Unit to ensure that the evaluation is planned and implemented in accordance with the USAID Evaluation Policy, Integrity standard operating procedures, and PEARL analytical and communications standards.

Through PEARL, Integrity is conducting a final performance evaluation of the EKISIL Activity.
