SNV is looking for: V4CP Lesson Learned Story Documentation

A.    BACKGROUND

A.1. SNV

SNV is an international not-for-profit development organization, working in +25 countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. SNV specializes in supporting the resourcefulness of development actors by developing local capacities, improving performance and services, strengthening governance systems, helping to create access for excluded groups and by making markets work for the poor. Our global team of advisors use their specialist sector and change expertise in Agriculture, Renewable Energy and WASH to facilitate sustainable change in the livelihoods of millions of people living in poverty.  

A.2. Voice for Change Partnership (V4CP) Program

In partnership with the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, in 2016 SNV launched a five year programme entitled Voice for Change Partnership (V4CP). The programme is implementing in 6 countries: Burkina-Faso, Honduras, Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda and Indonesia. The programme’s main goal is to support progress in globally challenging topics related to the Sustainable Development Goals, with a specific focus on inclusion and equity issues. This goal is to be achieved by increasing Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) capacities to participate, contribute and influence strategic debates and policy-making processes.

The specific objectives of the Advocacy programme are determined as follows:

·       Increase CSOs capacities in leadership, advocacy, utilisation of data and evidence, sector knowledge and business development

·       Improve enabling environment in terms of improved policies, frameworks, regulations, budget allocation, services, inclusive business and accountability/collaborative mechanisms

In Indonesia, the two topics that are addressing through the programme are Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) and Food and Nutrition Security (FNS). This year is the last year of the programme. Therefore, the documentation of project’s lesson learned is critical to disseminate our work and give the input for other programme development with information that increase effectiveness and efficiency and to build on experience that has been earned by the project.
