Coach for LCB programme in Indonesia
SNV is a not-for-profit international development organization. Founded in
the Netherlands nearly 50 years ago, we have built a long-term, local
presence in 38 of the poorest countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
Our global team of local and international advisors work with local partners
to equip communities, businesses and organizations with the tools, knowledge
and connections they need to increase their incomes and gain access to basic
services – empowering them to break the cycle of poverty and guide their own
development.
SNV has been working officially in Indonesia since 2013. Using market based
approaches, SNV is committed to reducing poverty by catalyzing
environmentally sustainable solutions for the poor in agriculture, energy,
water & sanitation, and REDD+.
We are currently looking for Coach for LCB Program in Indonesia.
Background:
Fostering and supporting further development of endogenous (originating,
developing, or proceeding from within) competencies, capabilities and
capacity is, and has always been, the core strategy of SNV. This strategy
has since long been operationalised through collaboration with Local
Capacity Builder (LCBs) as clients, sub-contractors and partners. In
response to external studies and the internal reflections, SNV has committed
to enhance its contribution to systemically and consciously strengthen the
capacity of LCBs, amongst others through the launch of a leadership
development and support programme for LCBs in 2015. This leadership
programmes will be implemented in/through six cohorts (groups of trainees)
in Africa, Asia and Latin America, cross cutting the three core sectors of
SNV: Agriculture, Renewable Energy, WASH & Sanitation and REDD+.
The programme is conceived and embedded within the broader localisation
strategy adopted by SNV and aimed at contributing to the development of an
endogenous capacity development sector and to local ownership: local actors
should shape and drive their own agenda’s. The ultimate long-term aim is to
contribute to systemic change, taking advantage of the societal role of both
SNV and of local organisations. The overall objective of the programme is to
strengthen the intrinsic capacity of local Capacity Development Support
(CDS) providers so that they can provide Capacity Development Support in a
professional and financially sustainable manner, through a leadership
development and support programme with a rather practical orientation for
professionals who are – or who work in the spirit of - market based social
entrepreneurship, and who have the potential to run a local CDS. We are
looking for the Professional coaches (who are not SNV staff members) in
Indonesia and She/he will provide once a month 1:1 support to the trainees
over Skype or in person in 2015.
Methodology:
The programme is based on principles of ‘experience-based learning’ (ref.
the diagram below) and is process not event based.
The link between practice (experience of the participants) and theory is a
prominent element in the programme. Practical experiences from the daily
work of the participants will be used as input for and during the entire
learning process (both during the two face-to-face training sessions and the
follow-up on the job) and linked to inputs that are being provided by
trainers and resource persons during the workshops, the support that is
being given by the accompaniers and coaches and the peer support sessions.
During the entire process a variety of interactive methods and participatory
tools will be used in order to enhance further development, foster
involvement of participants and maintain momentum. In case participants in
one specific cohort come from a wide geographical area, the use of web based
tools will be considered.
Scope of works:
The quality of the relationship between the accompaniers and coach at the
one hand and trainee at the other, which needs to be based on reciprocity,
both in terms of respect and learning, is essential for the outcome.
Moreover, the creation of a learning culture within the programme, in order
to leave space for reflection and reciprocal learning, is as important.
Co-creation of individual- and organisational learnings for both the
participants, coaches and staff members of SNV is one of the major
opportunities to be pursued within the programme. The coach will provide
back-up support to the participants (the number of participants will be
further determined, however, it is around 8-10 participants for Indonesia)
with total of 20% of the program time frame within 6 months from June to
December 2015.
Specific Tasks:
In between the learning workshops (it is estimated about 5 months), the LCB
participants will have once a month for 1,5 hours access to a Coach (from
outside SNV) by phone or skype or face-to-face coaching depending on the
LCB’s location in order to foster their personal leadership development. The
specific tasks to be performed by the Coach vis-à-vis the participants of
the SNV Leadership Programme are basically to support the coachee to reflect
upon, learn and adapt their own professional personal leadership style. The
Coachee and Coach operate in a 1 : 1 setting and concentrate mainly on
behaviour aspects of leadership development of the Coachee.
Deliverables:
- Detailed coaching plan for the 6 months starting from June to December
2015 (except September when the second face-to-face training for LCBs
organized)
- Report on the implementation process and recommendations for the future
improvement.
Requirements:
1) Local / National consultant
2) Extensive experience with a non-directive approach of coaching
professionals (i.e. ability to structure sessions; create rapport; listen
and reflect back; create flow by asking open, powerful questions; stimulate
commitment to action);
3) Extensive knowledge of non-directive approaches of coaching
professionals;
4) Preferably knowledge of and experience with Capacity Development Support;
5) Preferably knowledge of and experience with development issues at stake
within the countries represented in the cohort;
6) Preferably knowledge and experience in the field of international
cooperation and/or social business in general and with regard to SNV in
particular;
7) An academic level of working and thinking;
8) Competencies include: ability to listen, summarise and probe further, to
inspire and encourage others (to get the best out of people), personal
sensitivity, creativity.
9) Excellent command of the English (and French or Spanish) language, oral
and written;
