About ACAPS

ACAPS is dedicated to helping humanitarians make better decisions. We want to put evidence at the heart of decision-making. To achieve this, we collaborate with a variety of partners across the humanitarian sector and beyond. We strive to be an evolving platform providing:  

• Independent analysis to support evidence-based decision making for humanitarian operations. 
• Deployment of experts to support assessments and analysis in crisis.  
• Innovative approaches to collect more reliable and timely data and conduct rigorous analysis
• Capacity development of humanitarian actors to carry out better needs assessments and analysis.

Ukraine Analysis Hub

The ACAPS Ukraine Analysis Hub (UAH) has been monitoring the conflict in Ukraine and producing timely, independent, and high-quality analytical products on the humanitarian situation in Ukraine and the region since March 2022. Since its inception, the UAH has delivered a comprehensive set of analytical products, including in-depth analytical reports and datasets, using secondary data complemented with primary data gathered through interviews with its expert network of contacts in Ukraine and the region.

The project also seeks to bolster analytical and assessment capabilities in Ukraine, through mentoring and technical support to Ukrainian civil society.

Consultancy assignment background

ACAPS aims to meaningfully increase the capacity of the humanitarian sector in Ukraine to produce impactful analysis and better evidence for decision-making. For this we are launching a 6-week training course on the basics of humanitarian analysis, where humanitarians will develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to provide quality analysis. 

The course will begin on February 10^th. The majority of the course will be held online through self-paced modules in Ukrainian. The self-paced modules will be complemented by two live facilitated sessions delivered by the ACAPS Training Unit with simultaneous translation into Ukrainian[1].

During the week of March 17^th, the course will end with a 1,5 day in-person workshop in Kyiv, which will be delivered twice. The same content will be delivered to two different groups of up to 30 participants (a total of 60 participants), who will all have completed the online modules beforehand. The Training Facilitator will play a pivotal role in the in-person workshops, running the in-person sessions, interacting directly with the learners and facilitating discussion and/or group work.   

Objectives and scope of work

Objectives

1. To deliver the contents of the training programme and curriculum. 
2. To support the continued development and evaluation of the training materials.
3. To lead on the delivery of the two in-person workshops. 

Scope of work

Facilitators will:

• Work directly with groups of up to 30 learners at a time. 
• Deliver in Ukrainian the two in-person workshops (1,5 days each, delivered consecutively) designed by the ACAPS Training Unit. You will be trained in the analytical approach of ACAPS and will be coached on the workshop content delivery and management.
• Coordinate with the ACAPS Ukraine Analysis Hub on questions regarding the logistics of the workshops
• We are looking to have two Ukrainian-speaking facilitators that can work together and deliver the final in-person workshops. The coaching from the ACAPS Training Unit will be delivered online in English, so a stable internet connection and working knowledge of English are required before the in-person workshops. 

The position will require an estimated total of 8 days of work during the consultancy period. This includes 4 days to deliver the in-person workshops and an estimated total equivalent of 4 days spread out over February-March for the workshop preparation and evaluation.
