Overview
The Learning, Evidencing and Advocacy Partnerships (LEAP) Pillar of DFID’s governance programme Partnership to Engage Reform and Learn (PERL), is inviting qualified persons to apply for the learning facilitator position across its delivery locations; Kaduna, Kano, Jigawa, South East, South West and the North East.
Background
The Partnership to Engage, Reform and Learn (PERL) is a five-year DFID-funded governance programme (2016 – 2021). Its objective is to support governments of Nigeria to reform core governance processes (making, implementing, tracking and accounting for policies, plans, and budgets) and to ensure that these improvements feed through into the improved delivery of public goods and services. PERL is made up of three pillars that plan and work closely together: ARC (Accountable, Responsive and Capable Government), works with Nigerian governments to develop more systematic, transparent, responsive and accountable core governance processes, ECP (Engaged Citizens), works with a wide and inclusive range of citizen groups to bring citizens’ priorities to the attention of government in an effective way and hold government to account for the implementation of policy and budget commitments and LEAP (Learning, Evidencing and Advocacy Partnership), works to strengthen the evidence base for reform by creating demand for, generating and encouraging the use of evidence to inform discussion and decision-making on public sector reform. LEAP is being delivered via three workstreams: Learning and Adaptation, Research and Evidencing, and Communications and Knowledge Management.
LEAP wishes to recruit Learning Facilitators for all PERL delivery locations, in order to embed the articulated Strategic Pathways in year 4 of the programme, while clearly identifying and articulating the risks of this approach. Through the involvement of the learning facilitators, the story of how alternative Strategic Pathways were trialled will be captured (including when new ways of working and approaching the issue became challenging) and will contribute to learning about how programmes can better connect with the realities that actors in the public sector reform space face. The work of the learning facilitators cuts across the three LEAP workstreams and is expected to deepen learning about the drivers of public sector reform, facilitate and monitor programme delivery, strengthen the use of data and evidence in the day to day delivery of PERL, support LEAP research projects and create safe spaces for existing teams to model these new behaviours and principles.
