DanChurchAid (DCA) is a Danish non-profit humanitarian organization working in Africa, the Middle East and Asia. In Ethiopia DCA is operational in different parts of the country addressing the needs of the people, including the large South Sudanese refugee population in Gambella. Since August 2015, DCA has been implementing an innovative fresh food e-voucher project in Gambella, targeting South Sudanese refugee households. In 2017, DCA will be expanding its fresh food and livelihood programme to new areas in Gambella. In connection with that, DCA will commission a new market assessment for fresh food commodities in Gambella.
The overall objective of this assignment is to carry out a Value Chain Analysis and Market Assessment of fresh food commodities in Gambella with the purpose of informing future programming. The market assessment should shed light on the status and viability of existing and potential markets, actors in the value chain, market structures and market capacity to respond to increased demand.
The study is expected to be performed within 15 working days. If you have questions regarding this position, please send them to Thomas Skov-Hansen, Senior Humanitarian Advisor, at tsh [at] dca.dk. Application materials are due by February 19th, 2017.

CaLP is currently accepting applications for roster members to support CaLP in the delivery of CaLP-led and CaLP-affiliated trainings globally. CaLP recently undertook an effort to revamp its entire suite of training materials and is now seeking consultants who can deliver those materials effectively.
For each training, the roster consultant will work to contextualize the materials, deliver the training, analyse the training evaluation and submit a training report. Applicants should have expertise and training experience in at least one of CaLP's core competencies, which include Market Analysis Tools.
Given the changes in content of training materials, CaLP will conduct Training of Trainers (ToT) in early 2017. Roster members who will be available to deliver trainings in the first half of the year 2017 and attend the ToT will be considered for framework agreements with CaLP, outlining a schedule of workshops they will be expected to lead. Note that participation in the TOT will be at the consultant’s expense. Also see TOR for CaLP’s capacity building theory of change and course catalogue.
The deadline to apply is January 16th, 2017. More info and application instructions here.
