Consultant to facilitate USAID IUWASH Pasar Internal Consolidation and Evaluation

Background

USAID IUWASH Pasar is a five-year cooperative agreement program funded by USAID with the overall goal is to catalyze and grow local markets for water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) products and services in Indonesia's vulnerable urban areas. USAID IUWASH Pasar has been implemented for one year, achieving notable advancements as well as facing several challenges. As the project reaches this milestone, it is important to conduct an internal consolidation and evaluation to reflect on progress, address challenges, and refine strategies for future implementation. 

USAID IUWASH Pasar has been implemented for one year, working towards improving water and sanitation services for the underserved markets. As the project reaches this milestone, it is important to conduct an internal consolidation and evaluation to reflect on progress, address challenges, and refine strategies for future implementation. While the project has achieved notable advancements, several challenges have hindered smooth implementation. Many of them are strongly associated with project management, which is essential to ensure that the objectives are achieved on time, on budget, and on scope. Internal consolidation and evaluation are essential to ensure that the project team is well-coordinated, resources are used efficiently, and project purposes are achieved with high quality and effectiveness.

Given the importance of strengthening the collaboration team, USAID IUWASH Pasar will hold an internal consolidation and evaluation to enhance communication and teamwork. Internal consolidation and evaluation will focus on evaluating how the project has been implemented. This can begin by understanding the proper mechanisms and flow of coordination among staff, including national and regional teams, program teams, cross-cutting teams, and others. It is important to reduce overlaps and gaps in responsibilities as well as to maintain consistent roles across teams that lead to the project implementation more efficient and effective. 

 In the context of an internal consolidation session for the USAID IUWASH Pasar, a RACI matrix can be an effective tool for defining and clarifying roles and responsibilities. The RACI matrix outlines who is Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed for each task or deliverable associated with the session. Evaluating the RACI Matrix in project management helps refine role assignments, improve task clarity, and create a more organized, efficient, and accountable team, leading to better project performance and more successful outcomes.
