About Mercy Corps

Mercy Corps has been operating in Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) since August 2007 in North Kivu, South Kivu, Province Orientale and Kinshasa. Currently Mercy Corps activities focus on provision of water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) services in camps of internally displaced people and large –scale WASH infrastructure and service delivery development in urban centers with an increasing shift towards transitional and integrated development programming.

Introduction:

The USAID Sustainable Water and Sanitation Systems Activity is a five-year activity implemented by Mercy Corps in collaboration with Sanergy and Tetra Tech. The activity aims to increase and maintain access to safe water and sanitation services for communities in the North and South Kivu provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

In order to create a better understanding of the impact and scalability of the water and sanitation sectors in the Kivus region, the theory of change posits that there is a need to not only generate a better evidence base of lessons learned and knowledge to inform the design, replication, and scale of water and sanitation interventions in the DRC, but also to communicate relevant results to targeted sector-related audiences.

This research and learning agenda is a living document and will be updated at least once a year, based on our experience and the needs of the program and its stakeholders.

Objectives:

The SWASSA Learning Agenda is a set of eight research questions, MEL and program practices in the water and sanitation sectors, for which the program intends to organize and disseminate data, generate new evidence, and produce conclusions and recommendations through academic research, evaluation, and multi-method testing of the hypotheses and theory of change that guide the activities.

Brief Summary Description of Project:

Mercy Corps DRC is looking for a long-term partner, who will support the program continuously for the next three years. The consultant is expected to produce deliverables and at predetermined times. However, these dates are very flexible, as the objectives of the programs are connected and unforeseen events may occur in the fast-changing context of DR Congo, such as demonstrations against MONUSCO in July 2022, the volcano in March 2021, etc.

Mercy Corps anticipates a start-up for this role early 2023, with an approximate end date of April 2025. To carry out the activities, the Proponent must propose monthly work schedules and in-country travel estimates of 3 visits of 3 weeks each per year to DR Congo. Appendix 1 of the SoW provides an overview of deliverables by program year.

Deadline for Offer Submission:

January 31, 2023, 4.30 pm, Goma time
