SNV Tanzania is looking for a:
Quality Assurance (PME) Consultant, Dar es Salaam
SNV Netherlands Development Organisation is dedicated to a society where all people enjoy the freedom to pursue their own sustainable development. SNV focusses its work on issues related to food, energy and water – three global challenges that strongly impact the poor and are closely linked to climate change. Essential success factors in our work are inclusive development, systemic change, local ownership and contextualized solutions. We focus our work on three sectors: Agriculture, WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) and Renewable Energy. In these sectors we combine three specific roles: advisory services, knowledge networking and evidence-based advocacy. SNV works with actors in the private sector, public sector as well as civil society organisations, at national and sub-national level. An entrepreneurial way of working and professionalism characterise our organizational culture.
SNV operates in Tanzania since 1971; currently we are about 40 staff members, we work with a large network of local service providers and have offices in Dar es Salaam, Mwanza, Arusha and Morogoro. Our operations are funded through anchor funding of the government of The Netherlands and increasingly by other bilateral and multilateral development partners as well as private foundations.
By addressing the issues that obstruct access to services and business development, we aim to contribute to:
  • Demand articulation: Strengthening local actors (government, private sector and communities) in formulating their needs into clear demands.
  • Demand responsive public services: Increasing the availability of basic services, and ensuring sustainable management of public facilities.
  • Market based solutions and inclusive business: support collective action by farmer and processor organisations, access to finance and strengthened business service providers and brokering for new market entries
  • The up-scaling of interventions: Increasing coverage by developing local capacity to up-scale interventions in the three sectors and establish public/private partnerships
  • Knowledge based development: Creating a learning environment that enhances knowledge development, management and application. Knowledge-based decision making in the three sectors.
  • Inclusive policy development: linking local and national processes
Key themes of the SNV approach are localisation, i.e. strengthening capacity of local, mainly sub national organisations through engaging them in our work to support local change agents and strengthen public accountability, i.e. building relations between citizens and government. Development practice is increasingly under pressure to show results as well as to explain clearly what works or does not work and under what circumstances during the process towards achieving such results.
Development practice is increasingly under pressure to show results as well as to explain clearly what works or does not work and under what circumstances during the process towards achieving such results. SNV supports people to access and develop the capabilities, services and opportunities needed to improve their wellbeing, and realises that inclusive and sustained development at scale requires an enabling environment that addresses the systemic constraints underlying poor performance and inequality. Therefore our focus on capacity development and systemic change makes measuring results more challenging. Furthermore, where in the past SNV’s operations were mainly funded through long term core funding from the Dutch Government in the future SNV projects to have a more diversified funding base. This requires wide reaching changes in all aspects of our organisations: mind-setting, PM&E processes, communication, financial management; by 2015 we aim to have at least 60% of our income coming from other sources. To support the achievement of this ambition SNV is putting in place a Quality Assurance Facility that includes the following key areas: business development, managing for results (PME) and communication.
