Chief of Party
Counterpart Alliance in Ukraine
*****************************************************************
Counterpart will lead a consortium of three PVOs working in
Ukraine, and now seeks a Chief of Party for that mission.
The Chief of Party will have primary responsibility for the
start-up and overall management of the multi-million dollar
consortium project designed to "develop and strengthen indigenous
NGOs to provide social services to vulnerable groups" in Ukraine.
(This includes the supervision of all partner PVOs and sub-gran-
tees.)
The person selected to serve as Chief of Party will set-up a
primary office in Kiev and satellite activity offices in two
other major cities, hire local field representatives, and explore
the feasibility of using Peace Corps volunteers.
Within the first quarter, a workplan must be drawn up after
consultation with the U.S. PVO partners for the first and second
years of the project and submitted to USAID/Kiev for review and
approval. The workplan will include an assessment of the current
NGO legal and regulatory environment, a plan of action for re-
form, and a plan for U.S. based training for designated candi-
dates (after consultation with USAID and the USAID/NET Project).
The Chief of Party will work closely with indigenous NGOs nation-
wide, including:
* identifying and tracking social service and public policy NGOs;
* developing a comprehensive training and technical assistance
program that could lead to their sustained growth;
* organizing conferences, networking meetings, and roundtables;
and introducing mechanisms to broaden NGO management and sus-
tainability.
The Chief of Party will also develop eligibility criteria from
small seed-grants and corporate matching grants to indigenous
NGOs, oversee the grant program, and work to ensure progress
towards achieving activity objectives and to improve public
attitudes towards NGOs.
Interested/qualified individuals are asked to respond, as soon as
possible, to:
