Executive Producer and Trainer, Radio Development Media International (DMI)

WANTED: FRENCH-SPEAKING RADIO EXECUTIVE PRODUCER TO HELP SAVE LIVES IN WEST AFRICA

Development Media International (DMI) is a London-based organisation which uses mass media campaigns to promote healthy behaviours in developing countries (www.developmentmedia.net). DMI has launched the world’s first scientific trial to examine how many lives can be saved using mass media alone. This major, 4-year project will take place in Burkina Faso, West Africa, in collaboration with the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM). Our model predicts that we will prevent 20% of all child deaths. At the end of the project, the producer will know precisely how many lives they have saved.

The media outputs of the campaign will be based on 60-second radio spots (PSAs1) and 2 hour radio phone-in programmes, all to be produced in local languages and based on extensive research. Some 600+ spots and 200+ phone-in programmes will be produced over 30 months. We are now looking for an outstanding French-speaking radio executive to join the team in Burkina Faso in helping recruit, lead and train the locally-hired creative team.

We are looking for a producer from either the broadcasting or advertising sectors. The ideal applicant would ideally be capable of producing both spots and phone-ins although we will consider specialists in either skill. This is a managerial position so experience and seniority will be as important as creativity.

Request to Tender for Design and Delivery of a Leadership and Organisational Development Program for Ministry of Finance and Treasury

SIG-RAMSI SUPPORT FACILITY (SRSF) Request to Tender for Design and Delivery of a Leadership and Organisational Development Program for Ministry of Finance and Treasury Purpose of the Leadership Program The proposed program is intended to empower the Solomon Islander leaders within MoFT to drive the organisation and therefore strategically determine the future direction of the Ministry. It will focus on transforming agency leaders through strengthening their technical and professional capacity, in order that they can in turn transform their organisations and teams. The key target group for this program will be Solomon Islander leaders and executive managers within the MoFT, so that they: (i) have the skills to be able to lead change within MoFT to achieve its outputs; (ii) are confident and can articulate the vision and values of the organisation to the extent that MoFT is regarded as an exemplary Ministry in the whole of SIG Public Service; and (iii) can create a culture within the organisation that supports success. To ensure the program serves the needs of the Ministry and is able to implant a sustainable leadership culture among local leaders, it will need to focus the Ministry leadership in ways that underpin their capacity to progressively accept responsibility for developing other local agency leaders, using their own successful experiences as motivational factors, case studies and to act as a catalyst for sustained change. This will require the program design process to identify and outline the tangible opportunities for local leaders in MoFT to drive the program itself, and for them to feel they hold the technical and professional understanding required for them to succeed and to become more effective leaders. The program design will also integrate monitoring and evaluation (M&E) measures so that outcomes can be identified and reported against during the design process. That is, when the program is completed, the provider will have collected and analysed the outcomes and the potential impact of the program, through a series of indicators and examples where change has been made, through enhanced leadership capacity, to MoFT policies, systems, procedures and capacity development. These data will be provided to the MoFT. Further details, tender guidelines and tender cover sheet are attached. Lodgment of Tenders Tenders are to be lodged, marked “in confidence”, to the email address of patricia_dear@srsf.com.sb by 5 pm AEST on Wednesday 28th September 2011. --------------------- SIG-RAMSI SUPPORT FACILITY EcoGov SO 59420/2 Request for Tender Design of a Leadership and Organisational Development Program for Ministry of Finance and Treasury (MoFT) 1. Background to the Program The Ministry of Finance and Treasury (MoFT) is a key Government Ministry responsible for ensuring sound management of public funds. As a central agency for Government, the Ministry aspires for effectiveness and this requires supporting strong leaders to drive and reinforce the commitment of all staff to the MoFT mission and objectives. Developing leaders within the Ministry is essential to successfully initiate a whole of Ministry transformation building on the ground work that is already there. Consequently in 2010, the MoFT Executive identified leadership as a key area for investment across the Ministry. This RFT is part of implementing the aspirations of the MoFT Executive and will set in motion a process for supporting leadership and organisational development, supporting the realization of the Ministry’s mission for “transforming the MoFT into a locally led and built to last organisation”. 2. The Context in MoFT In the last seven years, MoFT had benefitted from substantial financial and technical assistance provided under RAMSI. Initial focus had been on stabilizing the Ministry and Government Finances after years of disrepair following the tension. In recent years, this focus had shifted to strengthening the capabilities needed to deliver on outputs. This process had involved strengthening operational management, processes, systems and ensuring staff have the necessary operational skills to support the delivery of outputs. The engagement of Technical Advisors (TA) in this institutional strengthening process had led to opportunities for empowering capable Solomon Islanders, so they can grow in their leadership roles. As the advisors transition out of carrying out functions and play a more supportive role, Solomon Islanders will step up and drive the organisation forward in an environment that will continue to require ongoing change. A range of initiatives have been designed to strengthen MoFT in a more broad organisational way, rather than focusing on individual technical inputs. These include a graduate programme, developing a capacity development framework, and a core skills programme. Individually these initiatives are useful but their true value is maximized when they are brought into an organisational development model that focuses on a locally led and designed leadership vision. To help respond to this need, a purpose-designed Leadership and Organisational Development Program for the MoFT will be designed and delivered. The preference is to design a program with proven effectiveness and using methods for which there is already in-house familiarity. As the intention is to build on the experience of the Ministry Leadership, the organisational development program needs to be structured in ways that encourage MoFT leaders to apply their own workplace knowledge in leadership development, at the same time undergoing peer-learning through the use of facilitated workshops. Given the specific requirement of the Ministry, the proposed leadership program will build upon the success of leadership programs delivered for the Inland Revenue Division (IRD) in 2010. The approach taken then proved to be successful for a number of reasons. It partnered external learning facilitators with the RAMSI TA advisors and with local SI senior management, to ensure that learning is operationalised and practiced. There was a strong focus on action learning at each step of the programme. It was designed and implemented using a demand driven model – as each stage was completed and implemented it created local demand for the next stage. This ensured a high level of local management and staff engagement and enthusiasm for engaging in the program and the associated assignments / work. Using a staged approach requires a level of planning and reflection in the program design, to ensure the materials, methods and activities are developed with the specific needs and issues of the Ministry (and its staff) in mind. The identified provider will need to quickly become familiar with the work of MoFT and the leadership work previously undertaken in IRD to ensure synergy and consistency between the models, the learning styles, language used and approaches developed. Without this form of learning and professional development, IRD and MoFT organisational objectives will be disconnected from the leadership training. Once it is designed and delivered, the MoFT Leadership and Organizational Development Program will complement the existing Leadership Development Programme that has been developed by the Institute of Public Administration and Management (IPAM). Each of these senior management and leadership programs can provide the other with insights and materials that can build future capacity development initiatives in Solomon Islands. 3. Purpose of the Leadership Program The proposed program is intended to empower the Solomon Islander leaders within MoFT to drive the organisation and therefore strategically determine the future direction of the Ministry. It will focus on transforming agency leaders through strengthening their technical and professional capacity, in order that they can in turn transform their organisations and teams. The key target group for this program will be Solomon Islander leaders and executive managers within the MoFT, so that they: (i) have the skills to be able to lead change within MoFT to achieve its outputs; (ii) are confident and can articulate the vision and values of the organisation to the extent that MoFT is regarded as an exemplary Ministry in the whole of SIG Public Service; and (iii) can create a culture within the organisation that supports success. To ensure the program serves the needs of the Ministry and is able to implant a sustainable leadership culture among local leaders, it will need to focus the Ministry leadership in ways that underpin their capacity to progressively accept responsibility for developing other local agency leaders, using their own successful experiences as motivational factors, case studies and to act as a catalyst for sustained change. This will require the program design process to identify and outline the tangible opportunities for local leaders in MoFT to drive the program itself, and for them to feel they hold the technical and professional understanding required for them to succeed and to become more effective leaders. The program design will also integrate monitoring and evaluation (M&E) measures so that outcomes can be identified and reported against during the design process. That is, when the program is completed, the provider will have collected and analysed the outcomes and the potential impact of the program, through a series of indicators and examples where change has been made, through enhanced leadership capacity, to MoFT policies, systems, procedures and capacity development. These data will be provided to the MoFT. 4 Leadership Program Methodology The Ministry’s Executive will be responsible for supporting the success of the Leadership Program through support provided via the “Backbone”[1] Team. Local facilitators will be selected from among MoFT Leaders to continue with program roll-out in Stage 2 especially with strategic planning sessions, organisational behavioral testing, and personal action planning. Stage 1 of the leadership program design work should commence in October 2011 and be completed in the first quarter of 2012. The provider would be expected to include an implementation schedule in their design document, specifying Stage 1 and 2 key dates and timelines. Country visits and delivery of the program, including for the consultations and “Backbone” workshops during the design process, will be detailed in the plan. The in country work required for both phases will be located in Honiara. The provider’s Focal Point for initial planning and arrangements for Stage 1 of the program will be the Compliance Advisor to MoFT / IRD, who will also assist in facilitating some of the workshops and was closely involved in the design and delivery of a previous Leadership Program for IRD. The key local stakeholder for the Program is the Undersecretary (Budgets) while overall oversight will be provided by the Undersecretary (Finance). The design phase of the Program will be completed through in-country scoping, consultative meetings and a interactive workshop with identified MoFT Leaders. The program design must include identification of delivery methodologies which will likely include: (i) Workshops and interactive discussions using recognized tools and approaches; (ii) Locally facilitated strategic planning sessions on leadership development; (iii) Personal and Organisational behavioral testing; and (iv) MoFT project work and Personal Action Plans. Although the provider’s staff are expected to play a prominent role in the design and delivery phases, MoFT leaders themselves will be provided with regular, supported opportunities to lead and drive the various planning, behavioral testing, technical materials and project work sessions. 5. Leadership Program Outputs The leadership program is intended to supplement the capacity-building efforts already underway across the MoFT, part of strengthening the capabilities in senior managers and leaders to deliver on the Ministry’s objectives. The needs of the MoFT leadership are specific and therefore require a specially designed program. Accordingly the outputs of the proposed program are: 5.1 Stage 1 Leadership Program Outputs: (i) a purpose-based Leadership Program that has full input from MoFT Executive and includes; a clear description of purpose and objectives; delivery methodologies; required inputs, including preferably from local experts; an implementation plan; and a concept for delivering Stage 2; (ii) an Implementation Plan incorporating a preparation phase and two delivery phases developed as part of the Leadership Program. The preparation phase must include establishment of a Steering Committee and a “Backbone” team; (iii) clear Terms of References for the Steering Committee and “Backbone” Team developed; (iv) a comprehensive Instruction Manual providing clear guidelines and examples on effective facilitation of the follow-up workshops, which will be led by local MoFT Leaders; (v) a draft M&E Plan and indicators that can be used by the MoFT to identify and report on changes in leadership and organisational change / achievements. 5.2 Stage 2 Leadership Program Outputs: (i) A Quality at Implementation Report which reviews progress and impact of Stage 1 and specifies the lessons learned to inform the design concept for Stage 2; (ii) A design Concept for Stage 2 outlining follow-up actions from Stage 1 and proposing a roadmap for supporting strategic planning, behavioral testing and personal action planning. The Intellectual property for all outputs and printed documents will remain with MoFT, and the providers are required to ensure all materials and documents are clear, written in easy-to-follow language for an audience with English as a second language. All materials bought to support and enhance the program, including the reference books and any training equipment, will also remain the property of the Ministry. 6. Program Activities and Timelines The Leadership Program will be a highly targeted, capacity-building and leadership development activity, comprising the initial joint scoping (with the MoFT), the program design, the program delivery and mentoring and then the ongoing support delivered through Stage 2. The provider and its staff will create an enabling environment, combined with a clear and agreed process, which supports both the MoFT leadership and the organizational development within the Ministry. At a minimum, the following leadership development and support services will be provided over two stages: Stage 1: October 2011 – February 2012: (i) Research and joint consultations – following email/telephone contact with the MoFT, spend up to 4 days planning and scoping in the home office, followed by a minimum of 5 days (plus 2 days travel) working with key leadership members of the MoFT in Honiara. This consultation with the MoFT Executives and key staff on the content and approach of the Leadership program that will best suit the needs of the MoFT. (ii) Design a comprehensive Leadership Program based on the findings obtained from the research and consultations – up to 10 days drafting this program in the Providers home base, using email/telephone consultations with MoFT as necessary. This includes: a. Jointly drafting the responsibilities and ToR for the MoFT Steering Committee and “Backbone” Team – with these nominated MoFT staff part of the design drafting. b. Drafting an Implementation Plan for delivery of the program, together with an M&E Plan to identify outcomes, as an integrated design activity; c. Once the Plan has been approved by MoFT, drafting the Guidelines Manual for the Leadership Program, to be provided in hard copy and electronically within 14 days after MoFT approval of the Leadership Program Design; (iii) Facilitate two workshops in the MoFT, each requiring the provider to spend a minimum of 8 days in country (plus the 2 days travel time). This will include two working days before the MoFT workshop, plus the 3 day workshop, followed by time to reflect, get feedback, produce the M&E outcomes and data summary, then complete all Stage 1 activity outputs. (iv) Initial arrangements are in place for holding one workshop in October/November and the other tentatively scheduled for mid February 2012. Stage 2 : March 2012 - June 2012 (i) Undertake a Quality at Implementation Assessment of Stage 1. This will require a consultative process between the provider and MoFT leadership in March 2012, with a minimum of 5 working days spent in Honiara (plus the travel time). The QAI assessment will review progress being made, confirm the program outcomes, review the M&E data collected, seek other opportunities for leadership growth, then provide an opportunity to assign MoFT time and resources to maintain the ongoing provider contact with the “Backbone” Team. (ii) Using information gained from the MoFT leadership, make improvements to the design and the M&E indicators and reports for Stage 2, based on MoFT priorities and requirements. This will involve up to 5 days in the home country during April 2012, with the Stage 2 design draft provided to the MoFT leadership by the end of April 2012, for their input, comment and final approval. (iii) From the Plan, provide mentoring and backstopping as required for the follow-up workshops, strategic planning sessions, behavioral testing, and personal action planning to be conducted at the MoFT. The scope of this support will be determined by the MoFT Executive in consultation with the Providers as part of the Plan. It is expected this support will involve up to 20 days of intermittent support in Honiara (plus up to 4 days travel time) and a further 8 days backup and support provided from the home country. (iv) The provider will also produce a short (4-page) Completion Report that outlines the achievement of the Leadership Program, the outcomes and forward plans, and the relevant M&E data. The M&E will comprise key indicators and outcomes of the program. The planning, delivery and support to be contracted through the providers will involve a total of up to 85 days, comprising a maximum of 27 in the home office and 58 in Solomon Islands (including the travel time). 7.
