Description

USAID intends to issue a tandem solicitation for a Personal Services Contract (PSC) for the position Knowledge Management and Organizational Learning Specialist [GS-12]/Advisor [GS-13] for USAID’s Development, Democracy, and Innovation Bureau (DDI), Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance (DRG) Center.

The Knowledge Management and Organizational Learning (KMOL) Specialist/Advisor will provide support to the Washington-based DRG Center’s Evidence and Learning (E&L) Team to ensure that the DRG Center’s systems and processes, as well as staff’s utilization of them, enable the creation, organization, storage, accessibility, and dissemination of the needed and relevant DRG technical information to improve planning, decision making, and programmatic results. This will include working with other members of the Center to conceptualize, develop, analyze, and provide technical information to the main DRG audiences, including the USAID DRG cadre, implementing partners, and other organizations working in the sector, and the public at large. The KMOL Specialist/Advisor will coordinate with DRG staff and leadership, the DRG Center’s Professional Development Advisor and training team, the DRG Center’s Communication and Outreach Specialist, and other USAID and outside experts. The E&L Team’s KMOL Specialist/Advisor will focus on DRG technical knowledge but may collaborate with staff focusing on administrative, operational, and human resource aspects of KMOL when appropriate.

The duration of the contract period is anticipated to be a two (2) year base period with three optional one (1) year periods for a maximum duration of five (5) years.

The solicitation will be published on System for Award Management (SAM). Interested parties are advised to periodically monitor this website for updates on this potential opportunity.
