Time period: Feb. 1, 2020-April 31, 2021


Contract length: 3 months


Location: Maiduguri, Nigeria


Travel: 50%; within Northeast Nigeria

Application deadline: January 15, 2021


SUMMARY


Translators without Borders (TWB) is seeking a consultant or consultants to conduct and report on five case studies describing our work as part of a consortium of protection actors working in Northeast Nigeria. These case studies will aim to demonstrate and measure the value and effectiveness of TWB’s work, in order for the organization to increase its impact.


PROJECT BACKGROUND


TWB is part of the FCDO-funded ProSPINE+ consortium of protection actors working in the humanitarian response in Northeast Nigeria. Our organization has supported consortium partners with activities including language services (translation and transcription), development of audio and pictorial materials, and capacity-building and training for translators.


Since TWB provides support services to other organizations, we often do not see the end results of our efforts. We do not work directly with the communities who receive our content and therefore, we struggle to understand who receives it, how effective our support is, and what we could do to improve it.


Through this consultancy, TWB seeks to develop case studies of specificprojects, in order to better understand how our work is contributing to the ProSPINE+ consortium, and to identify successes and areas for improvement.


SCOPE OF WORK


The consultant(s) will conduct in-depth case studies of key interventions TWB led as part of the consortium.


The case studies will address these five activities:




  • Audio PSEA training




  • Development of pictorial communication related to protection and COVID-19




  • Emergency audio communication content related to floods




  • Translation of “My Hero is You” book for children




  • Humanitarian interpreting training (webinars and in-person sessions)




The case studies will focus on understanding the reach and effectiveness of TWB’s language services, capacity building, awareness raising, and interactive resources for humanitarian workers and the affected populations we support. The consultant(s) will also explore how TWB’s adaptations in response to the pandemic may have changed the ways affected populations engaged with the information provided.


Its audience will be TWB program teams, consortium partners and the donor.


Methodology


TWB expects the case studies will involve a mix of interviews, primary research at field sites and secondary data analysis. We would like the consultant to prioritize primary research in their work plan and methodology.


The consultant’s or consultants’ methodology should help us answer the following guiding questions:


Partners




  • What are partners’ perceptions about these different interventions?




  • Did our support improve their efficiency or allow them to communicate in new ways or to new populations?




  • How did partners determine who within affected populations received our content, and in what format?




  • What mechanisms are in place for gathering feedback from these populations?




  • What would they have done in the absence of our support?




  • How could we have provided better support or resources?




End users




  • Who were the end users of our services?




  • How many people did we reach with these activities and where were they?




  • Were any specific groups more or less likely to receive our content? Why?




  • What barriers prevented the content from being received or shared more widely?




  • Did having the information available in different languages and formats improve understanding of key information?




Locations


Recommended for this activity: Travel to a total of three field sites in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe; visits to several camps and partners’ offices in and around Maiduguri. Field sites and Maiduguri locations will be selected by TWB.


OUTPUTS


The consultant will produce up to four packages of deliverables:




  1. February 10: An inception report outlining:




  2. Detailed methodology




  3. Work plan with schedule




  4. Travel plan(s)




  5. Budget




Note: The inception report should be a revision to the original bid package submitted by the consultant(s).

  5. Five one-page infographics highlighting key findings from each of the case studies




  6. One short video (3-5 mins) highlighting the findings and helping its audience better understand the work.




For the fourth work package, the consultant(s) may propose to create these assets, oversee TWB staff in creating these assets, or produce raw materials (e.g., photographs, video footage, quotes, and detailed interview transcripts and notes) that may be used in future to create such assets.


INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENT


The contractor(s) will be directly supervised by the Nigeria Country Director and will have a close working relationship with TWB’s global monitoring team members as well as members of the Nigeria Country Office in Maiduguri.

REACH Nutrition Assessment Officer in Nigeria

Country: Nigeria

Organization: IMPACT Initiatives

Closing date: 15 Jan 2021

BACKGROUND ON IMPACT AND REACH


IMPACT Initiatives is a humanitarian NGO, based in Geneva, Switzerland. The organisation manages several initiatives, including the REACH Initiative. The IMPACT team comprises specialists in data collection, management and analysis, GIS and remote-sensing. IMPACT was launched at the initiative of ACTED, an international NGO whose headquarter is based in Paris and is present in thirty countries. The two organizations have a strong complementarity formalized in a global partnership, which allows particularly IMPACT to benefit from ACTED’s operational support on its fields of intervention.


REACH was born in 2010 as a joint initiative of two International NGOs (IMPACT Initiatives and ACTED) and the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) Operational Satellite Applications Programme (UNOSAT). REACH’s purpose to promote and facilitate the development of information products that enhance the humanitarian community’s decision making and planning capacity for emergency, reconstruction and development contexts, supporting and working within the framework of the humanitarian reform process. REACH facilitates information management for aid actors through three complementary services: (a) need and situation assessments facilitated by REACH teams; (b) situation analysis using satellite imagery; (c) provision of related database and (web)-mapping facilities and expertise.


We are currently looking for a REACH Nutrition Assessment Officer to support our team in Nigeria.


Position: REACH Nutrition Assessment Officer


Contract duration: 6 months


Location: Maiduguri, Nigeria


Start Date: ASAP


COUNTRY PROFILE


In North East Nigeria (NEN), the ongoing crisis continues to have a profound impact on the population, leading to displacement both within and out of the region and high rates of unmet needs among internally displaced persons. The conflict additionally exacerbates prior unmet needs among non-displaced and host communities. While the primary driver of the conflict remains violent conflict, including ISWAP (Islamic State West Africa Province), JAS (Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad) and associated armed opposition groups (AOGs), other underlying factors, such as climate change, poverty, and disease outbreaks, exacerbate need and further complicate aid delivery.


Against the backdrop of this protracted crisis, the humanitarian situation in Northeast Nigeria remains one of the world’s most severe. Out of the Northeast’s Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe (BAY) state’s total population of 13 million people, an estimated 7.9 million are in need of humanitarian assistance.[1] Borno state remains the epicentre of the crisis, containing over 80% of the region’s over 2 million internally displaced persons.[2] Major incidents throughout 2019 have led to continued mass displacements and severely affected the provision of humanitarian assistance in the region.


The sudden influx of arrivals added strain to the existing infrastructure of the humanitarian community, resulting in high rates of unmet needs, overcrowding in camps, and exposure to protection risks for vulnerable groups. The congestion status of the camps has resulted in over 60% of IDPs residing outside of camps within host communities, further complicating service delivery.[3] The intensity of needs within Maiduguri and the instability of the security situation in more remote regions has resulted in increased focus on populations in accessible areas; however, populations in the less accessible areas are presumed to have even greater needs.


These hard-to-reach areas are estimated to contain around 971,000 persons.[4] Very little is known about the specific conditions and needs of the populations living in these areas, but they are presumed to have little mobility, limited essential services, and little or no access to humanitarian aid. The same threats that severely limit the ability of humanitarian actors to conduct thorough assessments also immediately affect the population living in the region. REACH’s Humanitarian Situation Monitoring (HSM) assessments in the Hard-to-Reach areas of Borno state have found that people in these inaccessible areas lack of access to basic services including health facilities, access to livelihoods and have decreased access to foods, access to improved water sources and access to humanitarian services.[5]

As such, the needs for evidenced-based Humanitarian Aid and information on populations in both accessible and inaccessible areas is paramount to a coordinated response. REACH has been present in Nigeria since 2017, providing a growing evidence base for humanitarian response planning through sectoral, multi-sectoral and area-based assessments as well as information management services. In 2021, REACH is looking to continue to provide the humanitarian community with relevant and reliable information to strengthen strategic programming and needs-based targeting in Northeast Nigeria.

Shuwa Arabic Community Team Leader - national position

Country: Nigeria

Organization: Translators without Borders

Closing date: 21 Jan 2021

The mission of Translators without Borders is to provide people with access to vital knowledge in their language. We do this by building language technology, increasing language translation capacity at a local level, providing language and simplification services that are culturally appropriate, accessible and open source, and raising awareness globally of language barriers.


Contract length: 6 months, with a possibility of extension


Hours: Full-time


Location: Maiduguri, Borno


Travel: some travel in northeast Nigeria (up to 15% of the time)


Reporting to: Nigeria Language Services Coordinator


Application deadline: 21 January 2021


About Translators without Borders


Translators without Borders (TWB) envisions a world where knowledge knows no language barriers. The US-based non-profit provides people access to vital knowledge in their language by connecting non-profit organizations with a community of language professionals, building local language translation capacity, and raising awareness of language barriers. Originally founded in 1993 in France (as Traducteurs sans Frontières), TWB translates millions of words of life-saving and life-changing information every year.


Background


In northeast Nigeria, humanitarian organizations are working to support some 1.9 million internally displaced people (IDPs) and the communities hosting them. But language is a challenge: in this linguistically diverse part of the world, people forced from their homes don’t always speak the same language as the people around them. International aid organizations may lack the skills to communicate with everyone in their own mother tongue. They often also lack information about the language and communication needs of affected people.


TWB has been providing language services in northeast Nigeria for just over a year, building humanitarian capacity for communication in the right language and format. A lot needs to be done. TWB in Nigeria is rapidly scaling up its teams and programs to support responders’ efforts to communicate more effectively, with funding from DFID and ECHO and partnerships with key humanitarian responders like the Norwegian Refugee Council, the International Organization for Migration and the International Rescue Committee


We do not want one third of internally displaced people to lack information in their language. We do not want widespread communication gaps to compromise data quality. We do not want the too common reliance on written communication to exclude vulnerable groups.


So we innovate, we research, we bring unique expertise and approaches to:




  • Provide evidence to inform communication strategies, as we have just done with our latest report on audio communication for example.




  • Promote accountability through two-way communication in the right languages. TWB helps tailor community feedback mechanisms to the language and communication needs of the most vulnerable.




  • Reduce confusion with multilingual terminology databases. TWB’s sectoral glossaries are available for free on a mobile web app with offline and audio capability.




  • Train interpreters and field workers. Training in the basics of interpreting limits information loss and aids confidential, ethical support services. Language training for data collectors and program staff promotes data quality and program impact.




  • Improve understanding with plain language, translation, and audio. Clear content in plain language using pictures and audio benefits the widest audience. We offer written and audio translations, and support pictorial messaging.




Role


The Shuwa Arabic Community Team Leader, under the guidance of the Language Services Coordinator, will lead on recruiting, capacity building, and managing a community of translators in Shuwa Arabic. The Shuwa Arabic Community Team Leader will be responsible for the high-quality of TWB language services in Shuwa Arabic, in northeastern Nigeria and beyond.

  • Test Shuwa Arabic applicant translators to ensure only high-quality applicants are selected




  • Train and coach new Shuwa Arabic translators to improve their skills and ensure they know how to use TWB translation platforms and glossaries




  • Ensure the quality of translations provided by the pool of translators through revising their translations and coaching translators how to improve




  • Conduct community engagement activities for the Shuwa Arabic pool of translators to encourage exchanges of experience, sharing of learning, mutual support and a sense of belonging to a TWB team

  • Research, contribute to and/or write language factsheets guides, do’s and don’ts, etc.




  • Test interpreters or staff members to assess language competency levels




  • Assist with the development and rollout of new tools as they emerge (including online testing modules and audio translation) and provide suggestions on how to further develop existing TWB tools




  • Set up and facilitate a peer network of interpreters and translators in north-east Nigeria




Support research and training




  • Contribute to the development and delivery of training sessions on interpretation and multilingual communication awareness for staff and volunteers of partner organizations

Shuwa Arabic Community Team Leader - national position

Country: Nigeria

Organization: Translators without Borders

Closing date: 21 Jan 2021

The mission of Translators without Borders is to provide people with access to vital knowledge in their language. We do this by building language technology, increasing language translation capacity at a local level, providing language and simplification services that are culturally appropriate, accessible and open source, and raising awareness globally of language barriers.


Contract length: 6 months, with a possibility of extension


Hours: Full-time


Location: Maiduguri, Borno


Travel: some travel in northeast Nigeria (up to 15% of the time)


Reporting to: Nigeria Language Services Coordinator


Application deadline: 21 January 2021


About Translators without Borders


Translators without Borders (TWB) envisions a world where knowledge knows no language barriers. The US-based non-profit provides people access to vital knowledge in their language by connecting non-profit organizations with a community of language professionals, building local language translation capacity, and raising awareness of language barriers. Originally founded in 1993 in France (as Traducteurs sans Frontières), TWB translates millions of words of life-saving and life-changing information every year.


Background


In northeast Nigeria, humanitarian organizations are working to support some 1.9 million internally displaced people (IDPs) and the communities hosting them. But language is a challenge: in this linguistically diverse part of the world, people forced from their homes don’t always speak the same language as the people around them. International aid organizations may lack the skills to communicate with everyone in their own mother tongue. They often also lack information about the language and communication needs of affected people.


TWB has been providing language services in northeast Nigeria for just over a year, building humanitarian capacity for communication in the right language and format. A lot needs to be done. TWB in Nigeria is rapidly scaling up its teams and programs to support responders’ efforts to communicate more effectively, with funding from DFID and ECHO and partnerships with key humanitarian responders like the Norwegian Refugee Council, the International Organization for Migration and the International Rescue Committee


We do not want one third of internally displaced people to lack information in their language. We do not want widespread communication gaps to compromise data quality. We do not want the too common reliance on written communication to exclude vulnerable groups.


So we innovate, we research, we bring unique expertise and approaches to:




  • Provide evidence to inform communication strategies, as we have just done with our latest report on audio communication for example.




  • Promote accountability through two-way communication in the right languages. TWB helps tailor community feedback mechanisms to the language and communication needs of the most vulnerable.




  • Reduce confusion with multilingual terminology databases. TWB’s sectoral glossaries are available for free on a mobile web app with offline and audio capability.




  • Train interpreters and field workers. Training in the basics of interpreting limits information loss and aids confidential, ethical support services. Language training for data collectors and program staff promotes data quality and program impact.




  • Improve understanding with plain language, translation, and audio. Clear content in plain language using pictures and audio benefits the widest audience. We offer written and audio translations, and support pictorial messaging.




Role


The Shuwa Arabic Community Team Leader, under the guidance of the Language Services Coordinator, will lead on recruiting, capacity building, and managing a community of translators in Shuwa Arabic. The Shuwa Arabic Community Team Leader will be responsible for the high-quality of TWB language services in Shuwa Arabic, in northeastern Nigeria and beyond.

  • Assist with the development and rollout of new tools as they emerge (including online testing modules and audio translation) and provide suggestions on how to further develop existing TWB tools




  • Set up and facilitate a peer network of interpreters and translators in north-east Nigeria




Support research and training
