    Description

    SoCha (a portmanteau of Social and Change) is an independent Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (ME&L) firm that provides bespoke solutions to social challenges.

    Since our inception in 2010, we have grown from a consortium of globally-recognized experts who specialize in evaluating the effectiveness of development assistance, to a full-fledged ME&L services firm that specializes in advancing innovative methodologies and changing the way donors find solutions to social problems.

    Scope of Work

    SoCha is currently recruiting for a Stakeholder Engagement Specialist to support the National Council for Persons with Disabilities (NCPWD) with coordinating stakeholders within the disability sector through both in-person and virtual meetings to foster a cohesive and inclusive approach to disability-inclusive development in Kenya.


    Tasks to be completed include:
    Design and undertake a national stakeholder mapping exercise borrowing from the recently concluded Disability Landscape Analysis.

    Identify and map all relevant stakeholders including government agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), advocacy groups, organizations of and for persons with disabilities, and community representatives.

    Analyze the interests, influence, and importance of each stakeholder in the disability sector.

    Review of the NCPWD stakeholder database and support the updating of the database based on the outcome of the mapping exercise.


    Support the development of a coordination framework that ensures buy-in from all stakeholders, enhances collaboration and participation, and stimulates a deep sense of ownership and commitment to the various responsibilities.

    Organize and facilitate an initial meeting to kick-off the stakeholder coordination forum.
    Develop agenda and note taking templates to capture meeting deliberations.
    Support the establishment of the coordination structures (e.g., working groups) for stakeholders in the disability sector.

    Support planning and execution of stakeholder coordination meetings (frequency to be determined in the coordination framework).

    This will include providing support in the development of the agenda; facilitation and moderation of meetings as needed; note-taking and documentation.

    Building the capacity of the stakeholders to own and take over the coordination responsibility and activities sustainably.

    Planning ahead and allocating enough time and resources (reports, manuals, code, data, or presentations) for the handover process.
    Creating a communication plan early in the process.
    Organizing knowledge sharing sessions.
    Planning for mini- handovers before the complete handover.

    Qualifications
    Technical Knowledge and Professional Experience

    A bachelor's degree in public policy, law, governance, social science, sociology, development, or any other relevant field. An advanced degree in these fields will be an added advantage.
    Minimum of ten (10) years of professional experience in stakeholder engagement, local community mobilization, capacity building, and negotiation.

    At least five (5) years of experience in policy engagement/policy impact/ institutional development or institutional reforms, preferably in disability inclusion.

    Knowledge of disability inclusion in national institutions and communities is highly desirable.

    Technical Skills

    Strong analytical, reporting, and writing abilities.
    Ability to conduct analysis with strong synthesis skills.
    At least five (5) years of experience in project development and management.
