Now, and for the future.

The Program / Department / Team (Program / Department Summary)

Mercy Corps is an international non-governmental humanitarian and development organization. It has been operational in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) since August 2007 and currently employs more than 400 national and expatriate staff. Mercy Corps’ country office is based in Goma, with sub- offices/bases in Beni (North Kivu Province); Bukavu, Kavumu, and Uvira (South Kivu Province); Bunia and Mambasa (Ituri Province); as well as Tshikapa, Kalonda Ouest, and Ndjoko Mpunda in Kasaï Province.

In 2023, we reached nearly two million people through our key activities in the DRC, combining long- term development programs with emergency humanitarian response to: 1) improve water service delivery and ensure equitable access to water, sanitation, and hygiene services in both urban and rural areas (WASH); 2) enhance food security and nutrition; and 3) promote diversified livelihoods, economic recovery, and development. Mercy Corps DRC’s humanitarian programs specifically aim to assist populations affected by conflict and crisis in eastern Congo through unconditional cash assistance and emergency WASH support to displaced persons, returnees, and host families.

Mercy Corps DRC implements ambitious programs designed to strengthen the ability of the most vulnerable people to overcome challenges and build their resilience in the face of one of the world’s most significant humanitarian crises. In this context, Mercy Corps DRC is seeking a Grants Manager for the Emergency Program for its Goma office.

The position will contribute to humanitarian efforts across the DRC by supporting the implementation of life-saving interventions, including those under the multi-million-dollar, multi-donor funded SAFER program — a consortium of international NGOs working together to promote a rapid, principled, efficient, and effective response to humanitarian needs.

The Emergency Grants Manager will play a key role in securing new funding opportunities by coordinating or leading proposal development processes, while also ensuring the quality and timeliness of donor reporting and communications for ongoing programs. Additionally, the position will oversee and support the sub-award management process.

The Program / Department / Team

PRO-WASH & SCALE is a capacity strengthening and learning award funded by the USAID Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA) and managed by the United States Department of State. It is implemented by Save the Children and Mercy Corps, with Mercy Corps’ subaward ending December 2026. The purpose of PRO-WASH & SCALE (PWS) is to strengthen the design, implementation, and overall effectiveness of WASH, agriculture, livelihoods, markets, and natural and water resource management activities within food security and nutrition programs, with a focus on emergency contexts. Mercy Corps leads activities related to agriculture, livelihoods, natural resource management and markets through the Agriculture Systems team of the Technical Support, Evidence and Program Quality (TEQ) Unit.

The Position

The Market-Based Programming Advisor will lead PWS’ markets-related work, supporting partners to apply market-based programming (MBP) approaches across technical intervention areas with a focus on fragile and emergency contexts.

● Update and adapt PWS’ MBP capacity strengthening and engagement strategy to ensure alignment with implementers’ evolving needs and U.S. Department of State (DoS) priorities.

● Provide technical support and guidance to partners on applying MBP approaches within agriculture (including seed systems), WASH, and livelihoods interventions, particularly within emergency contexts.

● Lead and facilitate remote and in-person training, workshops, and knowledge-sharing events to strengthen partner capacity in MBP design and implementation.

Define Mercy Corps’ value proposition in the weather risk insurance sector consultancy

Description

Background:

Mercy Corps is a leading global organization powered by the belief that a better world is possible. In disaster, in hardship, in more than 40 countries around the world, we partner to put bold solutions into action — helping people triumph over adversity and build stronger communities from within.

Decreases in humanitarian funding overall from both US and European institutional donors will not respond to the needs, which are bound to increase due to climate change. The frequency and impact of climate-related disasters is likely to increase in the years to come, leading to further displacements and negative impacts on both households and small businesses. Many climate hazards are predictable – they do not have to be treated as surprises. We do need to find ways to protect the populations we are working with against those shocks – not only to respond to their immediate needs and help them rebuild after a disaster hits, but also to protect the economic gains our programs have contributed to.

It is in this context that Mercy Corps is currently re-evaluating its strategy and exploring how it can better leverage the insurance sector to 1. Improve impact in our support to climate-affected populations; and 2. Expand our programmatic approach into disaster risk finance.

Mercy Corps is not starting from zero, but rather seeks to build on its experience and a series of initiatives that have, over the years, contributed to generating a strong body of knowledge. Our experience ranges from establishing MiCRO in Latin America, a micro-insurance company providing insurance policies against earthquakes to the most vulnerable, to working with local insurance companies such as Takaful in Kenya to test remote-sensing insurance for pastoralist populations, or providing equity to Pula Insurance through Mercy Corps Ventures. While these experiences have been successful overall, it is now time to not only bring all of our experiences under one roof but also develop a strong value proposition for Mercy Corps in the disaster risk management and insurance space.

Purpose / Project Description:

Mercy Corps is seeking support from insurance experts to define our value proposition and partnership models for advancing inclusive insurance. Mercy Corps’ positioning will need to be built on our current experience; and considered at three levels – at the macro level, working with national governments and insurance partners to pool funds and protect a large segment of the population; at the meso level to protect aggregators such as agribusinesses and financial institutions who can then provide coverage to their members/clients; and at the micro level, working with small businesses, smallholder farmers and individuals to facilitate access to insurance. It also includes taking stock of Mercy Corps’ experience with different models such as anticipatory action models, parametric/index-based insurance and/or traditional indemnity insurance, and bundling insurance with other financial services.

Mercy Corps is already working with a student team from George Washington University to map the weather-related insurance sector, identify areas of opportunity, and compile lessons learned from the broader insurance sector in that region. Mercy Corps is seeking a consultant to complement this work and develop a strategic roadmap that will include:

• A framework and theory of change based on a comprehensive SWOT analysis and strong understanding of the current trends in inclusive insurance, underlining how Mercy Corps can respond to the challenges currently faced by private insurance corporations in expanding their offering/client base and how much of the gaps left by the loss of funding in emergency response insurance can fill. This framework will clearly define the connection points between anticipatory action, private insurance, and macro schemes such as ARC Replica.

• Recommendations on investable and scalable models;

• A clear, actionable blueprint for engaging with new insurance partners

Consultant Activities:

The consultant will:

• Identify the areas of opportunity for Mercy Corps at the macro, meso and micro levels

• Develop a clear value proposition for Mercy Corps, including programming areas and messaging

• Develop a donor engagement plan, including the identification of priority donors who have aligned priorities and those donors to engage with within a longer-ter...
