1.  About us

Raising The Village’s mission is to build and strengthen pathways out of ultra-poverty through an approach guided by data, designed with communities, and scaled by partnerships. We work with last-mile communities to implementsolutions that raise incomes, sustain impact, and chart sustainable pathways to possibility within 24 months. To date, wehave supported more than two million people in Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with helpfrom our partners and our team in North America. Learn more at www.raisingthevillage.org.

2.  The opportunity

We rigorously measure the impact of our work through annual household surveys, peer-comparison benchmarks, and longitudinal cohort tracking. Every year, we publish a comprehensive Impact Report that anchors funder relationshipsand serves as the public face of our methodological rigor. Read our 2025 Impact Report here.

For the first time this year, our Impact Report will be produced as a web-first report via our online Impact Studiomicrosite (completing a shift that began at a smaller scale in 2025), and as an abridged PDF report.

Our goals for the 2026 project are to:

• Expand the Impact Studio microsite into a comprehensive and interactive digital report (2026 edition) with full reporting and analysis, deeper structured views, multiple cohort reports, and a consistent template system thatscales annually;
  • Produce a substantive but shorter PDF Impact Report;
  • Take a single-source, dual-output approach to content development, authoring content once and adapting for use in both products.

We are seeking a consultant to write the report, in close collaboration with our data and communications teams.

3.  What you’ll do

• Develop an editorial framework to support the single-source, dual-output approach: The frameworkshould facilitate a streamlined writing, editing, and content upload process;
  • Write Impact Studio and PDF report content. Maintain a consistent narrative voice across both products,aligned with RTV’s brand and messaging guidelines, and ensure that the framing and narrative are factual and engaging;
  • Edit and fact-check content: Cross-check and fact-check numbers, percentages, methodology footnotes,glossary terms, cohort labels, and framing

for consistency between PDF and Studio at every gate. Run a final pre-launch QA pass on both;

·       Upload content to the Impact Studio CMS and QA for accuracy and readability.

Success means:

• A high-quality and accurate Impact Studio and PDF launches on schedule in a phased process from September to December;

• Frameworks and guiding documents are developed to support an effective and efficient process this year and in future years.

You are the rare hybrid: A person with one foot in monitoring and evaluation and one foot in communications. Youhave built complex reports that are part research report, part communications tool, and have experience writing aboutwhat the data says, what the organization has learned, and how its programs and impact are evolving, while clearlyarticulating our mission and helping stakeholders understand why their support matters.

You understand data, and read cohort tables, ROI calculations, and longitudinal indicators with comfort, and have a passion for bringing information to life through clear, rigorous and compelling writing. You are able to take complex impact data, understand the findings, and write content that hones in on why it matters – the so what? – to people and the organization.

  • Background in monitoring, evaluation, and learning or development economics and demonstrated comfortwith quantitative impact data: cohort

analysis, ROI, peer-comparison methodology, distribution analyses, longitudinal indicators. You can read it,understand it, and write about it without flattening it;

• Excellent writing skills, with experience writing for a variety of audiences and platforms, and a range ofproducts, including reports, executive narratives, data spotlights, and impact stories.

• Comfort with single-source / dual-output writing, modular content, content reuse, and CMS work;
  • Familiarity with how to use AI to support – not direct – report creation;
  • Strong understanding of the different ways of working of – and ability to collaborate with – MEL, communications, and web design;
  • Remote work fluency. East Africa or Toronto-overlapping working hours preferred.

TERMS OF REFERENCE: REVIEW OF THE FAWE HUMAN RESOURCES MANUAL& ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE

May 25, 2026

1. Background to the Consultancy

The Forum for African Women Educationalists (FAWE Africa) is committed to upholding strong governance systems and effective human resource management to support its mission and operational excellence. As part of this commitment, FAWE conducts a periodic review of its Human Resource (HR) Manual every three years to ensure alignment with evolving labour laws, organizational priorities, and internationally recognized HR standards. This process is critical in maintaining fair, consistent, and legally compliant human resource policies and practices.

In addition to the HR Manual that contains all HR policies and procedures, FAWE recognizes the importance of maintaining an up-to-date and functional Organogram. Over time, organizational growth, program expansion and shifting strategic priorities often lead to changes in roles, reporting lines and functional responsibilities. Without regular review, this can result in overlapping mandates, unclear reporting relationships, gaps in accountability and inefficiencies in coordination and decision-making. A revised and well-aligned organization structure is therefore essential to clearly define roles and responsibilities, strengthen accountability structures, and ensure that the organization’s human resources are optimally configured to deliver on its mandate.

Given these considerations, FAWE seeks to engage a qualified and experienced Human Resources professional to undertake a comprehensive review of both the HR Manual and the organization structure.

2.  Objectives of the Assignment

The primary objectives of this assignment are to ensure that the review delivers clear institutionalvalue by strengthening compliance, improving organizational effectiveness, and providing practical recommendations that FAWE can implement with confidence.

• To conduct a comprehensive review of the FAWE Human Resources Manual, last ratified in March 2023, to ensure full alignment with current labour laws in jurisdictions where FAWE has contracted staff, evolving HR standards, and FAWE’s strategic and operational realities.

• To identify gaps, inconsistencies, and emerging risks in the current HR framework and provide clear, practical, and prioritized recommendations that strengthen people management, accountability, consistency across FAWE Africa and its National Chapters, and ease of implementation.
  • To review the organizational structure to ensure it accurately reflects FAWE’s current andfuture operating model, strengthens clarity of roles, reporting lines, and decision-makingauthority, eliminates overlaps or gaps in accountability, and supports efficient coordination, governance, and organizational performance.

3.  Scope of Work

The scope of this assignment should encompass a thorough review of the FAWE Human Resources Manual to assess its compliance with applicable labour laws, employment regulations, and relevant international human resource standards and practices in jurisdictions where FAWE has contracted staff. This review should also consider how effectively the current manual supports FAWE’s operational needs and governance expectations, drawing on benchmarking against comparable organizations and taking into account feedback already gathered from staff so that therevised framework is both compliant and practically responsive to the realities of the institution.

The scope should also include a review of FAWE’s organizational structure to determine whether it provides clear reporting lines, appropriate accountability structures, and an organizational arrangement that is aligned with both legal requirements and institutional effectiveness. The consultant’s work should result in well-justified proposed revisions to the Human Resources Manual and organizational structure, clearly showing the basis for any recommended amendments, and should culminate in a presentation of the key findings and recommendations to FAWE Africa’s Board.

4.  Deliverables

The consultant will be expected to deliver the following outputs:

1. An inception and review report setting out the consultant’s approach, key findings, identifiedcompliance and governance gaps, priority risks, and a clear rationale for the recommended changes to both the Human Resources Manual and the organization structure.
2. A revised draft of the FAWE Human Resources Manual incorporating all proposed amendments, with provisions clearly aligned to applicable labour laws, current human resource standards, and FAWE’s operational and governance context.
3. A revised organizational structure, accompanied by a brief explanatory note, showing the proposed reporting lines, roles, and accountability structure and demonstrating how the revised arrangement strengthens clarity, coordination, and organizational effectiveness.
4. A presentation to FAWE Africa’s Governance and HR Committee summarizing the review process, key findings, proposed revisions, and the implications of the recommendations to support informed consideration and decision-making.

5.  Duration of Assignment

The assignment is expected to be completed within 4 to 5 weeks, commencing from the date of contract signing.

6.  Required Qualifications

The consultant should possess:

• A relevant degree and valid professional certification.
  • Demonstrated expertise in labour law, HR policy review, and organizational governance.
  • At least 15 years of professional experience in Human Resource work, preferably with INGOs or international organizations.
  • Strong analytical, drafting, and communication skills.
  • Experience in reviewing HR policies and organizational structures.

8.  Confidentiality & Data Protection

Systems and processes 

• Maintain accurate and up-to-date records in WePlanet’s CRM and grant management systems, ensuring data integrity across the portfolio.

We value experience over formal education and encourage applications from candidates with diverse professional and personal backgrounds.

• Two or more years’ experience of grant writing, trusts and foundations fundraising, or a closely related role such as bid writing, policy writing or research writing, in a structured team with established tracking and reporting practices. 
• A minimum of two years’ experience working on proposals or grants targeting major US, UK or European foundations, with working knowledge of funder expectations, proposal conventions and reporting standards in those markets.
