Project Summary: 

The Support to Anti-Corruption Champion Institutions (SACCI) Program in Ukraine is a five-year USAID initiative with the objective to assist Ukraine to reduce corruption and increase the accountability and transparency of governance. The program seeks to empower key government institutions to fight corruption, build public support for and engagement in anticorruption effort, and reduce citizen tolerance to corruption.

Position Summary: 

MSI is seeking a short-term Analyst to assist the SACCI team with exploring corruption-related aspects of the situation, status, needs, problems and opportunities of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Ukraine. The Analyst will explore the situation of IDPs in terms of their experience, perception and awareness of corruption, as well as participation and representation – how the IDPs (both men and women) are engaged into public and civic mechanisms to prevent and counter corruption.

As SACCI adopts flexible and targeted approach to its strategy and activities, and gender and vulnerable group analysis and monitoring are some of the key enablers for this flexibility and targeted approach, the goal of this assignment is to inform SACCI strategies and approaches for 2018-2022 in terms of development project interventions around anti-corruption that are more sensitive to the IDPs and more inclusive.

The Analyst will work closely with the SACCI program team.

S/he is expected to travel to several regions of Ukraine. The assignment is expected to start in October / early November 2018. The anticipated level-of-effort for this assignment is 25 expert days.

3)    Develop hypotheses on the correlation of corruption-related issues and situation of IDPs, and approve them with SACCI;
