About VSO
VSO is the world’s leading independent international development organisation that works through volunteers to fight poverty in developing countries. Our high-impact approach brings people together to share skills, build capabilities, promote international understanding and action to change lives and make the world a fairer place.

Role overview
Tanzania’s economy has grown steadily over the past decade, yet this has not translated into significant benefits for the average Tanzanian. With the recent discovery of oil and gas and new agricultural policies, the economy is expected to grow and bring additional Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). While a demand remains for suppliers to support export operations, their current products and services do not meet the requirements and standards of international firms nor have they been able to capitalize on associated markets created by supply chains. The Tanzania Local Enterprise Development (T-LED) project supports local SMEs in Iringa, Mwanza, Shinyanga, Lindi and Mtwara to overcome existing barriers, with particular attention paid to the additional challenges faced by female-headed SMEs, in accessing growth markets in the extractive and agribusinesses sectors, while enhancing the quality and coordination of market-driven business development services (BDS).

T-LED is implemented by VSO, Cuso International and three national implementing partners: the Small Industries Development Organisation (SIDO), Tanzania Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture (TCCIA) and Tanzania Women’s Chamber for Commerce (TWCC). As part of T-LED’s sustainability, the project provides direct capacity building support to the three aforementioned implementing partners to ensure that as national BDS providers their services are enhanced and gender and market responsive. However, beyond the BDS capacity building, the project recognises that in addition to BDS capacity building, providing capacity organizational capacity building support to partners in other strategic organisational areas is necessary.

The project therefore plans on focusing on building capacities of project partners and their regional offices. In order to response to any potential organisational capacity needs or gaps, in the initial phase VSO and Cuso International are seeking to have at a first qualitative organisational capacity assessment of its partners and their regional offices in different organisational and functional areas, with the aim to lay down the foundations for planning and provision of further training and technical assistance services in the areas of improvement identified.

Skills, qualifications and experience required
Qualification and experience
- At least 6 years’ experience in conducting capacity analysis and assessment in (evidence required and preference for experience in the Tanzania context);
- At least five years of experience working with capacity development of NGOs, government institutions; and/or the private sector;
- Extensive knowledge in analytical reporting;
- Knowledge of business development services delivery agencies;
- Experience in monitoring and evaluation as well as data collection and analysis

Education
- Master’s Degree in Organisational Management/Organisational Development (OD), Public Administration, Law, Social Science, Business Administration, Economics, Finance, Management or other related fields.
-

Language and other skills
- Excellent facilitation and analytical skills
- Fluency in written and spoken English;
- Fluency in spoken Swahili;
- Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to communicate and work well with diverse people.

The Consultant is expected to produce:
- Assessment work plan showing the assignment’s important activities and milestones;
- Capacity assessment toolkit;
- Draft report with separate annexes on each partner to be presented to T-LED Head of Project for feedback and validation;
- Detailed capacity building plans tailored to each partner (HQ and regional offices), identifying current and target capacity levels, as well as milestones for improvement, including list of needs and required trainings and other capacity building assistance;
- Baseline and monitoring framework for participating partners to measure their progress in organisational capacity development over time;
- Final report with separate annexes on each partner that has been assessed.
