Organization: The Center for Victims of Torture works toward a future in which torture ceases to exist and its victims have hope for a new life. We are an international nonprofit dedicated to healing survivors of torture. We offer rehabilitation services to those who have been tortured, train partners around the world who can prevent and treat torture, and advocate for human rights and an end to torture. We are headquartered in Minnesota with offices in Africa and the Middle East.
The Partners in Trauma Healing (PATH) Project collaborates with torture rehabilitation organizations across the world, focusing on three areas: mental health treatment and healing, program evaluation and organizational development. The funding is from USAID.
Title: Organizational Development Consultant
Timeline: The consultancy will begin June 12 and be completed by June 20, with a possibility for extension. Over the course of the PATH project, CVT anticipates the need for further technical assistance for partner organizations in the areas of organizational development; depending on qualifications and experience, the consultant performing this initial scope of work would be considered for such additional assignments.
Project Description: CVT seeks a consultant to participate in a 3-person team which will be responsible for conducting organizational assessments of two different Turkey-based organizations providing services to Syrian refugees. The assessments will take place in person. The consultant will be responsible for representing the organizational development aspects of the assessment and will work with two other team members who will be covering the mental health and program evaluation areas of the assessment. The team will use CVT’s organizational assessment tool. After completing the tool, the team will analyze assessment findings and work collaboratively with the organizations to create an overarching goal and formulate a plan of action, in the form of a capacity building plan, to move forward on addressing those priorities.
Deliverables: Two complete assessment reports to present to CVT and to the respective organizations, including draft capacity building plans, using the CVT-provided template. These reports must all be provided in professional-level English.
Location: Must be able to travel to southern Turkey for up to 2 weeks.
