Job Summary

Governance for Development Interim Support Services is an AusAID-funded program that seeks to support Timor-Leste’s public service to enable growth and deliver services.
 
We are seeking an Organisational Development Expert to undertake a rapid assessment of the Agéncia de Desenvolvimento Nacional (ADN), or National Development Agency. ​ ADN is a government body that is expected to assess and evaluate all physical infrastructure projects funded by the state budget both in the pre-bid and pre-procurement phase. It is charged with monitoring the implementation and execution of these projects through systematic quality certification at the national and local level ultimately leading to the recommendation of payments for those projects.
 
The assessment will commence in July 2013 with a desk and literature review. This will be followed by a two-week mission in-country in August. The report and recommendation will be finalized in September 2013. We anticipate that the assessment will require a total of up to 40 days inputs.
