IntraHealth International is a non-governmental organization (NGO) working in the health sector, headquartered in the United States and registered as an international NGO in Kenya. In 2021, IntraHealth began the process of establishing an independent local affiliate in Kenya.
Purpose of the Consultancy
IntraHealth is seeking the services of a local consultant to assist in establishing a new local affiliate NGO’s governing structure. This includes creating a work plan and timeline, recruiting and establishing the new organization’s Board of Directors (BoD) as well as organizing and facilitating the first annual general meeting (AGM) and BoD meeting. The consultant will coordinate this work with IntraHealth’s country office, the local affiliate NGO, and legal counsel to set up governance.
Scope of Work Details
Develop a work plan/timeline of tasks, identifying responsible and supporting parties, in collaboration with IntraHealth, local affiliate NGO, and local legal counsel.
With guidance from IntraHealth Country Director or designee, oversee completion of the work plan, which will entail both producing assigned deliverables and facilitating the work of assigned IntraHealth and local affiliate NGO staff to produce their respective deliverables.
Work with IntraHealth and local affiliate NGO staff to identify potential organization and BoD members for the local NGO who collectively can provide the skills and experience necessary to support and further the aims and objectives of the organization and constitute a high-functioning board to soundly guide the organization.
Produce a summary document compiling biographical sketches and a skills/experience matrix of identified potential organization and board members for review by IntraHealth and the local affiliate NGO. With guidance from IntraHealth and the local NGO, draft invitation letters to proposed organization and BoD members.
Organize, prepare materials for (including meeting agendas, invitations, and board orientation materials), and facilitate the local NGO’s first AGM and board meeting, including orientation session for the board. Document and produce official minutes of the proceedings for both meetings. The AGM and BoD meeting may be conducted virtually so the consultant must have the means/ experience to facilitate such virtual meetings.
Assist with compilation of BoD documentation for NGOs Coordination Board registration purposes, as needed.
Ensure that all tasks conducted and deliverables produced are compliant with relevant Government of Kenya (e.g. NGOs Coordination Board) laws, requirements, processes and procedures for establishing and operating a local NGO.
Provide relevant advice to both IntraHealth and the local affiliate NGO throughout the process.
Deliverables and Reports
The consultant will lead the completion of the following deliverables, with the expectation that some tasks will be completed by the consultant while completion of others will be facilitated by the consultant by overseeing, supporting and/or reviewing the work of assigned IntraHealth and local affiliate NGO staff, other consultants and legal counsel.
IntraHealth may prioritize some tasks and deliverables over others based on needs for establishing the local affiliate NGO and the timeline of activities. Draft versions will be produced, input solicited from designated individuals, and their feedback incorporated to produce final versions of the following:
Work plan with timeline identifying key activities, deliverables and benchmarks, with responsible and supporting parties identified for each, including those for which IntraHealth and local affiliate NGO staff are responsible for.
Summary document of biographical sketches and skills/experience matrix of potential organization and BoD members.
