Act for Peace’s
Performance Effectiveness Coordinator (PEC) plays a vital role in ensuring
effective, quality, and accountable services to our stakeholders. Act for Peace
is a partner-focused agency, and as such, the PEC will be required to
strengthen and manage Act for Peace
’s internal quality, accountability and
effectiveness (QAE) systems, as well as support the work of program staff to
strengthen the QAE systems of partners.
The PEC position is
a new role within Act for Peace that is designed to consolidate and build on
work previously delegated to members of the Programs and Policy Department
(PPT) within which the role sits. Although the primary purpose of this role is
confirmed, we anticipate working with an industry professional to design a
specific work-plan to achieve the required results.
The PEC role focuses
on three core aims:
To
ensure the effective development and implementation of Act for Peace’s Agency
Development and Effectiveness Work Plan, which is the agency’s primary tool for
planning and implementing activities designed to satisfy our quality,
accountability and effectiveness obligations (including AfP policies, DFAT
Accreditation, ACFID Code of Conduct, ACT Alliance policies, and various
industry and donor standards) and staff are supported to implement the plan
(20% ft hrs).
To
ensure staff in the Programs and Policy Department are enabled to implement our
Effectiveness Plan,
which is designed to increase staff members’ capacity to ensure program
effectiveness through application of relevant policy, monitoring, evaluation
and learning initiatives, and quality, compliance and accountability
requirements. There will be a strong focus in this area on monitoring and
evaluation. In addition to working with staff, the PEC may also work directly
with individual partner agencies on capacity building and or monitoring and
evaluation initiatives (70% ft hrs)
To
ensure the Programs and Policy Department maintains a relevant information
management system
which enables collection, analysis and reporting of key data for stakeholders,
including staff, our Board, partners, donors, and consortium members. The PEC
will line-manager our Performance Effectiveness Officer in this role (10% ft
hrs).
Members of the
Program and Policy Department carry focal point roles for cross cutting
policies in our work. In line with this approach, we are aiming to recruit a
person to this role who will also serve as AfP’s Child Protection Focal Point.
Previous experience in the development and implementation of child safeguarding
or child protection policies within humanitarian and development settings is
highly desirable.
As part of a
dedicated team of program, policy and advocacy staff, the PEC will also
contribute to the wider strategic and operational development of the agency.
