Overview

• Location: Brussels, Belgium
• Company: Plan International
• Deadline: 26 March 2023

The Organisation

Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances children’s rights and equality for girls.

We believe in the power and potential of every child. But this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And it’s girls who are most affected.

Working together with children, young people, our supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children.

We support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood. And we enable children to prepare for – and respond to – crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national and global levels using our reach, experience and knowledge.

We have been building powerful partnerships for children for over 85 years, and are now active in more than 80 countries.

The Opportunity

Plan International has Liaison Offices in New York, Geneva, Brussels and Addis Ababa that are responsible for managing relations with the United Nations, the European Union and the African Union. The EU is a major global actor promoting human rights, including the rights of girls and children and a leading major global development and humanitarian actor.

Plan International’s liaison office to the EU Headquarters in Brussels carries out influencing and partnership advocacy to further our strategic ambition to drive respect for the rights of girls and to ensure EU development and humanitarian institutions work to achieve the targets for girls as set for example in the EU Gender Action Plan, the EU Youth Action Plan and within the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals agenda.

The EU representative is responsible for fostering strong high-level relationships with relevant EU actors, coordinating effective Plan International participation in significant intergovernmental events and raising funds from the large EU donor institutions. The EUO works with the EU in its three roles as a donor, policy-maker and promoter of human rights.

You will be responsible for;

• Ensuring the continuation of leading Plan International’s strategic engagement with the EU institutions, relevant civil society partners and others to drive respect for the rights of girls and children in all EU activities.
• Maintaining the high-level profile of Plan International’s programme, policy, advocacy, and campaigning work with the EU and delivers impact in line with the objectives of the new Global Strategy and the EUO annual workplan, including the EU(D) Engagement Plan.
• Ensuring an increased focus on resource mobilisation and the increase of quality funding for Plan International programming and influencing activity globally from EU institutions.
• Coordinating effective participation in priority events and processes at the EU.
• Overseeing management of the Brussels EU Office, including Human Resources, the office budget and supervising direct reports. The post holder will consult, cooperate and capitalise on existing organisational strengths; effectively represent Plan International externally and lead and facilitate internal processes.

Avec ses partenaires belges et internationaux, Enabel fournit des solutions pour relever des défis mondiaux urgents - le changement climatique, l’urbanisation, la mobilité humaine, la paix et la sécurité, les inégalités sociales et économiques - et pour promouvoir la citoyenneté mondiale. Avec 2000 collaborateurs et collaboratrices, Enabel gère quelque 170 projets dans une vingtaine de pays, en Belgique, en Afrique et au Moyen-Orient.

Contexte

L’évaluation est une fonction essentielle dans la coopération au développement belge. Elle permet aux acteurs de développement d’être reconnus comme des partenaires solides et fiables, qui démontrent avec des données et des informations fiables, les résultats de leurs actions. 

Depuis 2017, Enabel dispose d’un système d’évaluation interne certifié par le Service d’Evaluation Spéciale, suivant les modalités prévues à l'article 33 de la loi développement et le contrat de gestion entre Enabel et l’Etat belge. Au cours des cinq dernières années, l’évaluation interne a évolué au sein d’Enabel, avec la création d’un service d’évaluation interne, qui coordonne les efforts d’évaluation au sein d’Enabel. Aujourd’hui, Enabel renforce son service d’évaluation interne avec le recrutement de deux gestionnaires d’évaluation qui complèteront l’équipe pour la réalisation des ambitions d’évaluation d’Enabel.

Différents types d’évaluation sont menées à Enabel : 1) des évaluations des projets et de programmes de coopération gouvernementale; 2) au niveau organisationnel, des évaluations stratégiques qui concernent un ensemble d'interventions et/ou de programmes de coopération et servent la redevabilité et l’apprentissage, ainsi que des évaluations de la qualité qui sont notamment organisées afin de garantir la fiabilité du rapportage sur les résultats des actions de développement. 

Le service d’évaluation interne définit la politique d’évaluation et la politique de gestion axée sur les résultats, ainsi que le cadre de pratiques de travail pour le suivi et évaluation de l’organisation. Il organise également des activités qui contribuent au renforcement des capacités et de la culture de résultats et de l’évaluation au sein de l’organisation.

Description de la fonction

Vous faites partie du service interne d’évaluation et contribuez à la réalisation de la mission d’Enabel. Vous travaillez avec l’équipe du service d’évaluation interne et les différents départements et Cercles de collaboration pertinents d’Enabel.

En tant qu’Evaluation Advisor, vous gérez l’organisation et la conduite d’un ensemble d’évaluations de projets et/ou programmes d’Enabel, en garantissant l’indépendance, l’impartialité et la conformité des normes en matière d’évaluation.

En étroite concertation avec les équipes d’Enabel à différents niveaux : 

-    Vous clarifiez les besoins des parties prenantes et gérez leurs attentes tout au long du processus d’évaluation ;
-    Vous facilitez la définition des objectifs des évaluations à mener ainsi que les questions d’évaluation ;
-    Vous organisez l’assurance qualité tout au long du processus d’évaluation. Vous mettez en place et coordonnez les comités de référence des évaluations, sélectionnez les équipes d’évaluateurs externes et lorsque cela s’avère nécessaire contribuez aux étapes de suivi contractuel de marchés de consultance.  

En tant que conseiller.ère et expert.e en évaluation :

-    Vous transmettez vos connaissances sur les méthodologies et approches d’évaluation, apportez des appuis méthodologiques et contribuez au renforcement des capacités en évaluation au sein d’Enabel ;
-    Vous analysez de façon critique et objective les produits d’évaluation afin de s’assurer de la validité, fiabilité, pertinence et limitations des approches méthodologiques proposées par les évaluateurs externes ;
-    Vous stimulez la culture de l’évaluation et de l’apprentissage en introduisant et testant des approches innovantes d’évaluation, y compris pour les mesures d’impact des actions d’Enabel.

Par ailleurs, dans ce rôle, vous accompagnez grâce à vos compétences de facilitation, les efforts des différents départements et cercles à intégrer les recommandations et leçons apprises des évaluations dans les processus internes d’apprentissage.

Vous soutenez également l’amélioration continue du cadre des pratiques de suivi et évaluation (description de processus, guides méthodologiques, outils etc.) qui est utilisé par l’organisation pour gérer, suivre et évaluer l’atteinte et/ou la contribution d’Enabel aux résultats de développement.

Vous apportez ainsi un appui au développement de produits de communication sur les résultats des évaluations et à leur diffusion, de façon créative, innovante et adaptée à différents interlocuteurs (conseil d’administration et comité de direction d’Enabel, pays partenaires, décideurs, population, collègues, professionnels de l’évaluation).
