LAARIS Project Background
1. Background to this Assignment
Integrity is leading a consortium with the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) to deliver the LAARIS project, which builds on the previous iteration of the project by continuing to deliver legal aid but also providing advocacy, research and institutional strengthening to NRC’s downstream strategic partners. As part of the institutional strengthening component Integrity is responsible for providing demand driven direct support interventions to NRC’s downstream partners. Integrity has conducted capacity assessments with all five NRC partners to identify priority direct support interventions.
MIS Enhancement Short Term Technical Assistant (STTA) - Scope of Work
As part of the capacity assessment process multiple partners identified the development of their existing database as a priority area for Integrity to provide direct support. The MIS Enhancement STTA will be responsible for supporting one of these direct support interventions.
The intervention will consist of four phases:
1. Scoping/Assessment Phase
The MIS Enhancement STTA will work with Integrity’s in-house Data and Knowledge Management Expert to conduct a series of consultations with key stakeholders to understand the current MIS architecture and dataflow, and the ambitions for an enhanced MIS. In particular, the MIS Enhancement STTA will be responsible for conducting a detailed assessment of the current database and recording key features or nuances that should be transferred across to a new MIS.
As an outcome of these consultations the STTA will work with Integrity’s in-house Data and Knowledge Management Expert to develop a short assessment report that outlines key gaps and opportunities to expand existing capabilities and streamline workflow.
2. Planning and Design Phase
Following the assessment, the STTA will work with Integrity’s in-house Data and Knowledge Management Expert to develop a design report including a recommended specification for the enhanced MIS and a scope of work and phased workplan for implementing the identified enhancements.
3. Implementation Phase
The technical implementation of the scope of work and specification will be led by the partner organisation. However, the STTA may be required to support the implementation process and ensure that the enhancements are implemented in line with the agreed design and scope of work. A testing period will take place after each phase of the workplan is implemented to ensure any errors, bugs or amendments are rectified. A final testing period will take place once all enhancements have been implemented.
4. Training and Guidance
During the final phase of this intervention the STTA will support trainings with the partner organisation on how to use the enhanced features.
