STATEMENT OF DUTIES General Statement of Purpose of the Contract: As a member of USAID/Ethiopia’s Office of Assets and Livelihoods in Transition (ALT), the incumbent will serve as the Disaster Risk Management (DRM) Coordinator to the Mission. The DRM Coordinator will provide strategic direction to USAID activities in support of U.S. foreign policy objectives, the USAID Country Development and Cooperation Strategy (CDCS) and the Government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia (GOE)’s disaster risk management initiatives. The DRM Coordinator will be the primary point of contact for DRM matters in the ALT office, serve as the Disaster Risk Management Team Leader and Development Objective 1 lead, and will represent USAID/Ethiopia in broader donor and government fora covering DRM issues. GOE DRM Overview Ethiopia is vulnerable to recurrent and increasingly severe natural and manmade shocks and stresses. As a result, the GOE has multiple guiding documents for multi-hazard disaster risk management, mainly the National Policy and Strategy on Disaster Risk Management and DRM Strategic Programme and Investment Framework (DRM SPIF). Ethiopia also has a well-established national platform on DRM which is driven primarily by the National Disaster Risk Management Committee (NDRMC). NDRMC is responsible for coordination of emergency response and relief efforts (food and non-food) through a series of committees and task forces, as well as with other line ministries. Primarily this is through the DRM Technical Working Group (DRMTWG), a multi-stakeholder consortium of key government and non-government actors in the humanitarian and development sectors. The DRMTWG is linked to the Development Assistance Group and Ministry of Finance and Economic Development and Council of Ministers and aligns with the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness. NDRMC is also engaged in all aspects as the technical lead of the DRM cycle, including early warning, assessments, and internally displaced persons (multi-sectoral response) More broadly, Ethiopia’s DRM efforts increasingly support and link to the country’s Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP[1]) and the annual humanitarian appeal (Humanitarian Response Plan , or HRP[2]). The DRM cycle of early warning, prevention & mitigation, preparedness, response, recovery, and rehabilitation spans the nexus between the development focused PSNP and the humanitarian HRD response. The incumbent will be the focal point in coordinating these efforts between USAID and the GoE. USAID DRM Priorities Against the backdrop of increasingly common billion-dollar humanitarian appeals, the USAID Mission in Ethiopia has programmed on average over $600 million in humanitarian assistance each year since FY16. In addition to humanitarian assistance, USAID/Ethiopia prioritizes strategic investments in disaster risk management to build systems and capacity at all levels (federal, regional, community, household) to effectively manage shocks, reduce humanitarian needs, and protect development gains. USAID activities are across the DRM spectrum – from disaster prevention, preparedness and response with institutional development, early warning systems, contingency planning, human resources and organizational capacity building, vertical and horizontal coordination systems, vulnerability and risk assessments to disaster mitigation and recovery cycles with climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction, food security, livelihoods, natural resource management systems, conflict mitigation and responsive health systems. Under the Bureau for Humanitarian Affairs, USAID DRM and humanitarian programs are now housed as one unit, and DRM principles and the application of a resilience lens cut across technical sectors and reflect the reality of vulnerability in Ethiopia. B. ORGANIZATIONAL LOCATION OF POSITION: The DRM Coordinator will be a part of USAID/Ethiopia’s ALT Office and serve as the DRM Team Leader. The DRM Coordinator will directly support senior Mission management as well as relevant offices in formulating and articulating appropriate DRM strategies, policies, and activities that: a) reduce vulnerability of chronic and transitory food-insecure households; b) address disaster prevention, preparedness, response, mitigation, and recovery; and c) build Ethiopia’s disaster risk management system.

Support for Food Security Activities IDIQ (SFSA)
The Support for Food Security Activities (SFSA) Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract was awarded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) on May 25, 2010, with a shared ceiling value of $500 million. This contract vehicle appears designed to support a range of agricultural and food security initiatives, with a particular focus on technical assistance, value chain development, and strategic regional programming. The IDIQ enables USAID to rapidly procure services related to agricultural research, economic development, gender assessments, and nutrition integration across different geographic regions. Task orders under this IDIQ demonstrate significant variation in scope and value, ranging from small studies around $90,620 to substantial multi-year programs approaching $52.8 million. Typical task orders include technical assistance projects like the AIIM-ASSIST program, regional agricultural development initiatives such as the Agriculture Growth Program-Value Chain Expansion, and specialized studies examining market mechanisms and gender considerations in agricultural programming. The pricing mechanisms are diverse, including Time and Materials, Cost Plus Fixed Fee, Fixed Price Award Fee, and Firm Fixed Price contracts. While no specific prime contractors are definitively identified in the provided data, the task orders consistently relate to USAID's Feed the Future initiative and appear to target Eastern and Central African regions, with project durations typically spanning 3-5 years.

Intermediate Result (IR) 1, the Mercy Corps consortium will stimulate increased productivity and competitiveness in the livestock and livestock products markets by: 1) improving productivity through investments in animal health services, nutrition, and natural resource enhancement; 2) increasing market access through co-investment in community-level and large-scale market infrastructure, facilitating market linkages between producers, retailers, wholesalers and government structures; and 3) enhancing the investment-level enabling environment through support to government bureaus on effective streamlining of policies and procedures, strengthening private-sector trade associations and effective dissemination of targeted policy research. Intermediate Result 2 will increase communities ability to adapt to a changing climate by: 1) increasing availability and utility of climate information at all levels of Ethiopian society; 2) increasing adaptive capacity at the community level utilizing CARE s proven Climate Vulnerability and Capacity Analysis (CVCA) and Participatory Scenario Development (PSD) methodologies; and 3) implementing adaptation solutions through community action planning and linkages to economic opportunities under IRs 1 and 3. For the thousands of people transitioning out of pastoralism, either by choice or necessity, activities under Intermediate Result 3 will significantly improve alternative livelihood options through essential skills transfer including literacy and numeracy, basic employability skills, and entrepreneurship and technical training. Armed with this knowledge, male, female, young and disabled transitioning out of pastoralism will be able to access income opportunities through sustainable small and microenterprise development by accessing formal and informal financial services and business support services at the local level. Finally, we will facilitate increased investment in non-livestock sectors to generate increased formal employment opportunities for trained and motivated individuals. Mercy Corps approach to stimulating systemic change in pastoral Ethiopia marks a paradigm shift in development assistance to vulnerable populations. While we have achieved significant success in the Revitalizing Agricultural/Pastoral Incomes and New Markets (RAIN) program in the Somali Region, this approach requires testing, introspection and learning. Intermediate Result 4 will establish participatory monitoring and evaluation systems that are easily accessible for all stakeholders, enable program managers to determine which interventions should be brought to scale and which should be adjusted, and contribute to the wider knowledge on pastoral development through targeted policy research and knowledge management initiatives. Mercy Corps and CARE have assembled five key personnel with in-depth understanding of the opportunities for expanding markets and improving resiliency in the pastoral areas of Ethiopia. PRIME is led by Chief-of-Party Karri Goeldner Byrne whose 18 years of experience in livelihoods programming is supported by a team of international and national key personnel whose combined 50 years of experience in livelihood and natural resource management programming bring in-depth technical knowledge and understanding of the Ethiopian pastoral context. The program will draw on short-term technical expertise from all consortium members in economic and market development, climate change, livelihood diversification, natural resource management, peacebuilding and knowledge management. In addition, PRIME will benefit from the overall leadership of Mercy Corps Ethiopia Country Director, Dominic Graham, and Deputy Country Director Mesfin Ayele who will oversee all compliance and operations issues, ensuring a smooth startup, that USAID rules and regulations are followed, and that donor resources are used efficiently.
