Request for Proposals: MCC Strategic Planning Consultancy

November 2023

 

Below is the terms of reference for a consultancy to provide counsel to senior staff and the boards of Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) on models for governance-level goal setting and reporting on MCC-wide strategic objectives and how management-level reporting can feed into such governance-level reporting. The consultancy will consist of up to 20 days of work spread out between January and December 2024. Send questions and expressions of interest, including CV, a description of your previous experience consulting about strategic plan reporting processes (including at the governance level), information about your availability during 2024, and your daily rate, to MCC planning and learning director, Alain Epp Weaver (AlainEppWeaver@mcc.org). Deadline: December 20. 

 

Terms of Reference

MCC Strategic Planning Consultancy

November 2023

 

Summary

Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) seeks an external consultant to help its senior staff and national boards think through models for governance-level strategic planning and reporting and how such governance-level strategic plans and reports relate to and draw from management-level planning and reporting.  The consultant will provide feedback on the strategic planning structure, process, and model generated by a staff/board strategic planning committee and will offer their own ideas for models of governance-level strategic planning and reporting that build on management-level plans and reports.

 

Background

MCC is an Anabaptist relief, development, and peacebuilding organization, working in 45 countries globally in the name of Christ. The MCC system is made up of 1) two national MCCs, MCC Canada and MCC U.S., who together jointly oversee MCC’s international program outside Canada and the U.S.; 2) five provincial MCC entities; and 3) four regional MCC entities. The relationship between MCC Canada and the provincial MCC entities is guided by a covenant, as is the relationship between MCC U.S. and the regional MCC entities. MCC U.S. and MCC Canada collaborate together on the basis of a covenant agreement.

 

MCC-wide strategic planning is relatively new. The first strategic plan to encompass all 11 MCC entities (provincial, regional, and national, including MCC’s international program) ran from April 2015-March 2020. The MCC system is now in the fourth year of a second five-year strategic planning period, which started in April 2020 and is scheduled to end in March 2025. The MCC Canada and MCC U.S. boards are slated to extend MCC’s current strategic directions (objectives) for another five-year period (through March 2030), affirming that MCC has more to do to live into these strategic directions.

 

Three related challenges with the MCC-wide strategic plan have surfaced over the past four years. First, MCC has not set global goals for its MCC-wide strategic targets. A second, related challenge has been board and staff dissatisfaction with current governance-level reporting on the MCC-wide strategic directions, along with a corresponding desire for new forms of governance-level strategic plans and reports. Third, MCC provincial, regional, and national entities have expressed uncertainty about how their management-level reporting feeds into governance-level strategic plans and reports.

 

Consultancy Tasks and Deliverables

1. Review documentation and meet with members of MCC’s strategic planning coordinating committee and potentially other senior staff and board members to develop understanding of how MCC has worked at governance-level strategic planning and reporting over the past decade and of the tensions and challenges those efforts have faced.

2. Review and offer feedback on strategic planning structure, process, and models developed by MCC’s strategic planning coordinating committee for improved MCC governance-level involvement in strategic planning and reporting and for improved connection between management-level and governance-level reporting on the strategic directions. This feedback will include helping the committee think through models for governance-level strategic goal-setting and strategic plan reporting used within the non-profit sector.

3. Present at meetings of MCC’s national boards in 2024 to help introduce a proposed structure and process for governance-level participation in strategic planning and reporting and to explain how broader best practices of how non-profit boards provide governance-level oversight of staff implementation of strategic directions can be applied by MCC boards.

 

Consultancy length

Up to 20 days of work between January and December 2024. 

 

Oversight

The consultant’s efforts will be guided by MCC’s strategic planning coordinating committee, consisting of staff leadership and representatives from MCC’s national boards. 

 

Timetable

 

• November 2023: Finalize terms of reference for external consultant. Solicit expressions of interest. Identify and sign agreement with consultant.

• December 2023-February 2024: Review draft models and proposals for governance-level strategic planning and reporting developed by strategic planning coordinating committee and meets with committee members to offer feedback on that material.

• Mid-March 2024: Join MCC strategic planning coordinating committee members in presenting model for MCC governance-level strategic planning and reports to MCC’s national boards, framing the proposal for board members within broader non-profit approaches to governance-level strategic planning and reporting.

• April-May 2024: Review and offer feedback on governance-level strategic plan and report templates.

• Mid-June 2024: In collaboration with strategic planning coordinating committee, present governance-level strategic plan and report templates to MCC’s national boards. 

• July 2024-March 2025 Available for consultation as needed as staff develop strategic plans for submission to national boards for their March 2025 joint meeting.

Location	Cairo
Location Country	Egypt
Location Description	Egypt is a country of about 105 million people and Cairo houses about 22 million people. Streets are crowded and busy at all hours of the day and night. Cultural opportunities abound: museums, art galleries, theatre, ancient monuments, lectures, shopping, and restaurants. Egypt's ancient sites, natural beauty and cultural attractions are generally affordable and easy to access for day trips and longer holidays. Western consumer products, services and entertainment are readily available, though sometimes expensive for MCCers living a simple lifestyle within budget guidelines. MCC Egypt is based in Cairo, and most of its partners have offices there. The political situation in Egypt is currently stable. Westerners can expect to have considerable freedom of movement in the community in which they live. At times, there may be travel limitations due to security concerns, but normally it is safe to travel anywhere within Cairo. The weather in Egypt is hot for five months, chilly for three and very pleasant for the other four months. The sun shines virtually every day. Air quality is complicated – there is an immense amount of dirt/dust in the air due to proximity to the desert. But in recent years the exhaust of vehicles has been cleaned up and diesel exhaust is not overwhelming. There are good healthcare and dental facilities available in Egypt. There are options for church involvement in a variety of denominations, including English-speaking churches. Transportation in Cairo is by means of taxi/Uber, Metro/subway and bus. Between towns and cities, there is an extensive and inexpensive network of trains and buses – as well as reasonable air fares within the country. It is essential that all MCCers in Egypt live by the lifestyle guidelines outlined in MCC policy. MCC is in partnership with the churches in Egypt and we are accountable to the church, to MCC and to the local community. Western consumer products, services and entertainment are readily-available and prices are affordable. However, MCCers are expected to live a simple lifestyle and live within budget guidelines. Challenges: Often, an important issue for MCCers is resolving their personal frustration with occasional rude behavior and harassment in the street. This ranges from rude comments to inappropriate touch for women and persistent attention from groups of children for both men and women. Workers find ways, in conversation with others, to reduce the attention, to recognize dangerous situations and to cope with the rest so that the frustration does not become overwhelming. Job assignments can also be frustrating at times. While we do our best to determine and outline job responsibilities with our local partners, assignments really come alive based on the passions, skills, and giftings of an individual. Responsibilities may change or be refined over time in communication with supervisors to meet the ongoing changes and needs within a local context. As such, the greatest characteristics a participant can bring to an assignment are adaptability, flexibility, patience, a willingness to get your hands dirty, and humility to complete even mundane tasks. Other challenges include: • Extreme heat (though usually low humidity) • High levels of pollution (though much less diesel exhaust than in the past) • Security issues • Opportunities for exercise are limited and require creativity. • It can be difficult to build meaningful relationships with others who are caught up in hectic daily lives. • Cairo comes alive at night, in all its exuberance and noise - and when neighbors are celebrating, dogs are barking and traffic is moving, rest/sleep can sometimes be difficult.

Challenges	Extreme Heat; High levels of pollution; Security issues; Special needs schooling not available; Location requires digital communication; Use of public transit required; Local area not supportive to LGTBQ+ persons

About Us: Love Justice International (LJI) is a Christian nonprofit organization and our mission is sharing the love of Jesus Christ by fighting the world’s greatest injustices. We do this in two primary ways: through our expanding anti-human trafficking work and by caring for orphaned and abandoned children. We are seeking faithful, compassionate, thoughtful problem-solvers who are able to think deeply and carefully about how we can share Christ's love by fighting injustice. You can make more money elsewhere, and probably find better ways to live an easier, more comfortable life. We see this work as more than just a job, but as a calling to that mission. If you are called to our mission and want to find out how you can fit into our work, apply today!

Love Justice International is a certified Best Christian Workplace in 2021 and 2022. Click here for more information about us.

Position Type: Full Time; Support-Raised*; Overseas

*If hired, the candidate will be required to raise financial support to cover his/her own salary, benefits, and expenses. Raising support is a key example of the body of Christ supporting its members and joining in the fight against injustice. LJI will provide administrative and prayer support throughout the process, as well as guidance and resources to build up a support base. Please prayerfully consider whether you may be called to step out in faith and raise support for this position.

Program and Position Overview: LJI's anti-human trafficking model focuses on transit monitoring. We identify, intercept, and assist trafficking victims as they are being transported—when victims and traffickers are the most visible and open to detection—and before they reach the destination where victims will be sold, hidden, and abused. Because the crime of trafficking has already commenced, we have access to actionable intelligence which can be used to assist police in the apprehension of suspects and to better understand trafficking methods. To multiply the impact in countries we’ve launched investigations teams and conducted police trainings. To date, we have intercepted over 35,000 individuals to prevent them from being trafficked. More than 1,200 arrests have stemmed from our anti-trafficking work with 33% of closed cases resulting in convictions.

To ensure excellence among our field offices in Asia and Africa, Love Justice has developed more than 30 "core processes" to implement in each office to monitor performance and compliance. These processes involve a variety of different areas, such as budgeting and financial reporting, administration and human resources, data collection and compliance, security audit and investigations, shelter care, and legal cases.

The role of the Senior Director of Anti-Trafficking is to oversee the entire organization’s anti-trafficking division by empowering and leading the LJI Regional Stewards and driving forward expansion while also striving to hit our “1 Year Goal” of $120 per intercept. 

The Senior Director of Anti-Trafficking will report to the CEO. The position will be based in Ballito, South Africa. This position will involve frequent travel to our different fields. 

Primary Duties and Responsibilities: The primary duties and responsibilities of the Senior Director of Anti-Trafficking are the following:

• Guide and lead the LJI Regional Stewards (who directly “steward” our fields–interacting more directly with country leadership)--may also temporarily steward new countries where there is not a Regional Steward in place
• Oversee the overall anti-trafficking budget
• Drive forward transit monitoring expansion while also seeking to hit our 1 Year Goal of $120 per intercept
• Oversee investigations and the scaling of impact multiplying strategies (e.g., investigations teams, police training and liaison programs, etc)
• Participate in leadership teams
• Participate as a “Lead” of core processes within expertise and stakeholder on others
• Assist with grant operations for related anti-trafficking projects  

The duties listed above are conducted within a work culture that is striving to emulate Christ and make him first and central. Staff should agree with the following ideas included in what it means to us to Abide in Christ (our first Global Value):

• Our Primary Identity is in Christ
• We Believe God Is Sovereign Over Injustice
• We Are Made, Called, and Led By Christ
• We Commit to Connect with Jesus
• Prayer Should Be Central To Our Work
• Our Conduct Is Our Testimony

Qualifications: The qualifications for this position are the following: 

• Mature Christian faith and agreement with our Global Value to “Abide in Christ”
• Knowledge, understanding, and agreement with how the Christian Gospel ministers to “the least of these” (Matthew 25:40) and guides us in our mission
• Agreement with our Core Value “Be the Kingdom”(both in the execution of our mission and in our personal lives)
• Acknowledgement of our Statement of Faith
• A strong commitment to social justice and advocacy on behalf of vulnerable populations
• Minimum of a bachelor's degree; master's degree (or higher) in a relevant field preferred
• Significant experience in project management and leading teams–particularly in cross cultural environments
• Ability to work well in cross-cultural contexts and sensitivity to different cultures
• Critical-thinking and problem-solving skills
• Strong work ethic, self-motivation, and willingness to adapt to changing and challenging circumstances

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Familiarity with working with complex spreadsheets preferred

Position Type: Full Time; Support-Raised*; Overseas (South Africa) 

*If hired, the candidate will be required to raise financial support to cover his/her own salary, benefits, and expenses. Raising support is a key example of the body of Christ supporting its members and joining in the fight against injustice. LJI will provide administrative and prayer support throughout the process, as well as guidance and resources to build up a support base. Please prayerfully consider whether you may be called to step out in faith and raise support for this position.

Position Overview: LJI’s strategy of transit monitoring focuses on identifying and assisting trafficking victims during the transport process – when victims and traffickers are visible and open to detection – and before they reach the destination where the victims will be hidden and exploited. Because the crime of trafficking has already commenced, we have access to actionable intelligence which can be used to assist police in the apprehension of suspects and to better understand trafficking methods.

LJI adopts a data-centric and evidence-based approach to all of our work, and being a data-driven organization requires cutting-edge data management solutions. To that end, we have developed a custom data collection and analysis web application called the Searchlight Human Trafficking Data Center. This technology is a critical tool that enables us to replicate our effective transit monitoring model around the globe. We are also exploring the creation of a similar technology for the child records stemming from our Family Homes work. 

The primary duty of the Senior Software Development Manager is to bring technological solutions to bear on the evaluation and execution of key program strategies. The Senior Software Development Manager will report to the Chief of Staff. The position is full-time and in South Africa. All candidates should be willing to travel 4-6 weeks (spread over multiple shorter trips).  

Primary Duties and Responsibilities: The primary duties and responsibilities of the Senior Software Development Manager includes leading and overseeing a small team of software developers responsible for developing the following: 

• Searchlight - As mentioned above, this is our custom data collection and analysis web application. It is under constant improvement and development. 
• “Childlight” - This is a working title for a database that would house and organize all of our child records related to our Family Homes. 
• Operations Dashboard - This is the task management system that we use (currently in Google Sheets), but intend to move to a database to improve. 

With each of these projects, there is a significant history of conversations that have led us in the direction that we are currently heading. The role of the Senior Software Development Manager would not be to reimagine these tools, but to join the team and speak into the processes while learning from program leaders about the history and evolution of these tools. 

While this is a management and leadership role, our team is small and thus this role will be expected to spend a significant percent of their time coding themselves. As the team grows, job responsibilities will naturally shift. 

Other secondary duties and responsibilities could include technology related projects from our “Love Justice Labs” list, map visualizations, general spreadsheet maintenance, Children’s Futures development, etc. 

The duties listed above are conducted within a work culture that is striving to emulate Christ and make him first and central. Staff should agree with the following ideas included in what it means to us to Abide in Christ (our first Global Value):

• Our Primary Identity is in Christ
• We Believe God Is Sovereign Over Injustice
• We Are Made, Called, and Led By Christ
• We Commit to Connect with Jesus
• Prayer Should Be Central To Our Work
• Our Conduct Is Our Testimony 

Qualifications:

• Mature Christian faith and agreement with our Global Value to “Abide in Christ”
• Knowledge, understanding, and agreement with how the Christian Gospel ministers to “the least of these” (Matthew 25:40) and guides us in our mission
• Agreement with our Core Value “Be the Kingdom”(both in the execution of our mission and in our personal lives)
• Acknowledgement of our Statement of Faith
• MA in Engineering, Computer Science or similar relevant field
• 8 years working in a technological role
• Full stack developer (preferable experience with Django and React or AngularJS or similar frameworks)
• 5 years of managerial experience
• Strategic thinking and strong business acumen

• In-depth knowledge of web systems architecture, design and development
• Excellent oral and written communication skills
• Ability to multi-task and manage various projects simultaneously
• Hands on experience with complex project management 
• Excellent organizational and time-management skills
• Attention to detail
