Social Return on Investment (SROI) Consultant

JOB TITLE:

Social Return on Investment (SROI) Consultant

POSITION SUMMARY:

Location: Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam
Contract Type: 4- to 6-month fixed term consultancy, depending on the availability of the consultant

POSITION DESCRIPTION:

Friends for International TB Relief or “FIT” is currently working with the Johnson & Johnson Global Public Health team on developing a comprehensive social return on investment (SROI) analysis to determine the social impact and productivity of investment in project PROPER CARE.

SROI is a framework for measuring and accounting for a broad concept of value; it seeks to reduce inequality and improve wellbeing by incorporating social, environmental and economic costs and benefits. It is meant to understand how change is being created by measuring social, environmental and economic outcomes and uses monetary values to represent them. But SROI is about value, rather than money. The SROI tells a story about change, on which to base decisions, that includes case studies and qualitative, quantitative and financial information.

FIT is recruiting a short-term consultant to complete the SROI analysis from start to finish. We are looking for a highly motivated individual with prior experience conducting similar analyses.

The position will be based in Ho Chi Minh City Viet Nam for all or part of the consultancy duration.

ORGANIZATION DESCRIPTION:

FIT is a registered non-profit organization whose work is based on the vision of a world free of Tuberculosis (TB). Our mission is to promote progress on the field of TB prevention and to stop the spread of the disease.

Over the past three years, we have actively participated in the eradication of TB by providing financial and technical assistance to local organizations involved in TB care and control in India and Vietnam. Simultaneously, we engaged in advocacy work through fundraising events in Germany and other industrialized countries to contribute to build and improve awareness about this global threat.

In particular, since 2014 we have been supporting the implementation of a grassroots TB elimination intervention based on a holistic package of outreach activities, stakeholder engagement and comprehensive care. Besides our project work in high TB burden countries, FIT also organizes events to strengthen the awareness and understanding about TB.

FIT was founded in 2012 and consists of TB activists as well as former patients. Our members reside all over the world ranging from Germany to Vietnam, Australia and the U.S., where they do their part in raising awareness and fighting the disease. Past and current partners include the Global Health & Education Trust, Otsuka, Stop TB Partnership, RESULTS Australia, HCMC Public Health Association, Vietnam National TB Control Program, Johnson & Johnson and most recently via the IMPACT TB project FIT has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 733174.
