Capacity Building Technical Lead – Ma3an Project عودة إلى الفرص

Job Summary

Ma3an is a seven-year (2018-2025) USAID-funded project with the goal to increase Tunisian youth civic engagement and economic empowerment to advance progress towards sustainable, inclusive development in Tunisia.  Ma3an’s objectives include: (1) Youth have improved access to skills, services, and opportunities for civic engagement and economic empowerment, and (2) Tunisian youth lead and meaningfully participate in activities to address youth and community priorities. In its remaining three years, Ma3an will capitalize on the strong foundation of youth leaders, safe spaces, and local partners in its 33 communities and will engage more youth and partners who can offer additional assets to ensure that a wide representation of Tunisia’s most underserved youth can benefit from skills, services, and opportunities they need to secure their livelihoods and contribute to their communities. This includes working with local partners to set up and support a network of youth leaders who can cascade essential skills to their peers and who can propose and lead initiatives that respond to the challenges they are facing. Ma3an will also continue to build the capacity of youth system actors – including safe spaces, youth-serving and youth-led organizations, and youth-community collaboration mechanisms – to better prepare them to not only meet the needs of young people, but to effectively engage them as partners in their work.

The Capacity Building Technical Lead will work with the Program and technical leads and other key team members on all activities related to capacity building of different actors under Ma3an. S/he will report to the Deputy Chief of Party.

Main Responsibilities and Tasks:

• Lead and coordinate the capacity building activities under the SOW of YLN and YEE partners related to the Ma3an Capacity 2.0 assessment tool at the governorate and community levels.

Additionally, regular monitoring and evaluation of the capacity building activities will be conducted to ensure their effectiveness and impact on the target communities.
• Lead and coordinate the applications of the Youth Programming Assessment Tool (YPAT) in youth safe spaces, including supporting the building of the capacity of partners and youth leaders to master the tool’s implementation and data analysis. Additionally, the capacity building activities will include training sessions on youth engagement strategies and best practices, with a focus on promoting inclusivity and diversity within the target communities.
• Support the regional teams to facilitate a capacity and sustainability assessment, and support YCC partners to develop sustainability plans with customized capacity building activities. These plans will aim to enhance the YCC partners’ ability to sustain their youth engagement efforts beyond the project duration and to ensure that their activities are aligned with the needs and aspirations of the communities they serve. The capacity building activities will also involve mentoring and coaching sessions, peer learning opportunities, and networking events to foster collaboration and knowledge sharing among YCC partners.
