We have an immediate vacancy for a full-time Data Analytics Manager to join our pan-African forensic investigation team at the iLAB.
The successful candidate will support iLAB’s Senior Investigations Manager. They will work as part of CfA’s internal iLAB team of forensic researchers, data scientists and OSINT (open source intelligence) investigators, who produce evidence-based dossiers and other actionable evidence for a global audience and for international watchdog media partners.
The iLAB works in support of the African Network of Centres for Investigative Reporting (ANCIR), which is a CfA initiative that brings together the continent’s best muckraking newsrooms to investigate crooked politicians, organised crime and big business.
The iLAB spearheads investigations that individual ANCIR newsrooms are unable to tackle on their own. This includes forensic analysis of suspected digital influence operations and disinformation campaigns, as well as toxic content aimed at misleading citizens or triggering social discord or polarisation using hate speech or radicalisation or other techniques .
The iLAB also supports partners to investigate transnational organised crime, illicit financial flows and state capture on the continent.
The successful candidate will work as part of a multinational and multilingual team across the continent, using digital collaboration tools to create content for a global audience and international media partners.
About the Role:
The successful candidates will be part of a ‘technology for good’ team of forensic researchers and data scientists/analysts at the iLAB, who work in support of African watchdog newsrooms and other human rights-defending organisations.
The iLAB’s role is to offer these newsrooms/civic watchdogs a robust toolkit of open source intelligence (OSINT) leads and resources, along with investigative support for identifying and exposing disinformation and other influence operations intended to undermine our democracies and our economies, often by creating social discord or polarisation. Your duties will include assisting the iLAB Project Manager in leading a team of analysts who are tasked with identification of sock-puppets, botnets, fake accounts and unwitting proxies used by the shadowy ‘puppet masters’ who are producing and disseminating false content.
The iLAB also actively gathers evidence on corruption and organised crime affecting the public sector, and transforms the information into actionable data to help civic watchdogs and investigative media better understand the nexus between politically exposed/influential people (PEPs and PIPs) and organised crime networks, and their role in subverting public resources.

The International Water Management Institute (IWMI), a CGIAR Research Center, is seeking applications from suitably qualified candidates for a consulting assignment under project titled “Rethinking Food Markets and Value Chains for Inclusion and Sustainability”.
Background
The food sector is the largest source of income and employment but is unable to provide decent livelihoods for billions depending on it. It is predicted that around tens of millions of young people will enter labor markets in South Asia and Sub-Sahara Africa every year with few prospects. Growing food markets provide enormous potential with the right market incentives and environment to foster innovations for inclusive and sustainable development. However, weaknesses and inefficiencies in the value chain and market integration and regulation generate poor outcomes for both people and the environment and limit the engagement and benefits of youths and women.
To address these challenges, the Rethinking Food Markets and Value Chains for Inclusion and Sustainability-Initiative aims to provide evidence on what types of bundled innovations, incentive structures, and policies are most effective for creating more equitable sharing of income and employment opportunities in growing food markets while reducing the food sector’s environmental footprint. It will seek to discover promising and adaptable innovations for improved vertical coordination, inclusive contracting, certification for food quality and sustainability, inclusive digital platforms, and more. It will pilot and assess the potential for, and tradeoffs associated with bringing these bundled innovations to scale, to make a sustained development and environmental impact.
In collaboration with local partners, the four work packages (WPs) of this Initiative will produce key deliverables (outputs) consisting of robust evidence bases and rigorous impact assessments of the top technological, process, and policy innovations for inducing positive changes in markets and value chains in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Uganda, Central America, and, possibly, Uzbekistan. These outputs and activities will generate 4 tangible WP-level outcomes:
• WP1 and WP2: Smallholders and SMEs in export and domestic value chains across 6 geographies will use evidence regarding the effectiveness and scalability of bundled innovations to experiment with operations.
• WP3: SMEs in 3 countries will use evidence regarding the effectiveness and scalability of inclusive applications of digital platforms for logistics and finance to experiment with operations.
• WP4: Stakeholders in at least 6 geographies will use evidence based on the Knowledge platform (KISM) to assess the potential for and tradeoffs associated with bringing innovations to scale.
By the end of the Initiative in 2024, it is expected that around 30,000 people in households of self-employed, owners, and workers of participating farms and agrifood businesses will directly benefit from the piloted innovations (15,000 each in domestic and global value chains). Participation and uptake will be encouraged through the co-design of the innovations with key local stakeholders, to move from WP-level outcomes toward End-of-Initiative Outcomes. In addition, SMEs in 3 countries are expected to use digital platforms to improve their access to logistics support and finance, benefitting at least 4,000 workers, especially women and youth amongst them. Additionally, policymakers in 6 target geographies will have changed policies to enable the scaling up by providing regulatory frameworks and stimulating the adoption of innovations by 10,000 smallholder farms and SMEs. A rigorous gender- and youth-sensitive lens will enable women and youth to comprise, respectively, 45% and 20% of these beneficiaries.
The initiative prioritizes the development of possibly ten innovation bundles and their scaling preparedness. These innovation bundles form four types of core innovation: 1) inclusive business and vertical coordination models; 2) product quality upgrading and standard certification; 3) digital innovations in logistics and financing services; and 4) global knowledge management. The Initiative’s strategy for monitoring, evaluating, learning, and impact assessment and scaling preparedness and actions (MELIA&SPA) consists of various interconnected components: (1) Monitoring, evaluation, learning, and impact assessment, and (2) Scaling preparedness and action.
From this backdrop, this consultancy assignment commissions two MELI&SPA-related activities: 1) process tracing assessment, and 2) impact assessment.
Specifically, this consultancy aims to:
• Co-develop and carry out the process tracing assessment for four work packages in the Initiative. The process tracing assessment refers to the examination of inter-mediate steps in a process to make inferences about hypotheses on how that process took place and whether and how it generated the outcome of interest and impacts. This also includes the estimation of the causal effect of intervention X on outcome Y. The process tracing assessment, therefore, requires developing a hypothesized causal effect mechanism, operationalizing the causal effect mechanism, collecting evidence, and assessing the inferential weight of evidence to explain the causal impact statement of the intervention. The process tracing assessment is at the outcome level of the work packages (WP) and will be carried out for each WP.
• Design and implement the impact assessment for the work packages and for the Initiative. The impact assessments will evaluate outcomes and impacts of the WPs and End of Initiative (EoI) outcomes and impacts of the Initiative. Impact assessment findings should serve to verify the validity of the Initiative’s ToC and indicate if there is a need for course correction. Impact assessment results will help inform the direction of future cycles of the initiative, including what components need to be corrected and which are closer to scaling. V2
• Collaborate and engage with the WP and MELIA&SPA teams to generate in-depth insights on processes and causalities adding to the overall MELIA/SPA activities including the profiling of innovation bundles as well as capturing the initiatives outputs, outcomes, and impacts.
