Progress Inc. is inviting experienced professionals from around the world to express their interest in joining its Global Consultant Roster. The opportunity is designed for consultants who may be considered for upcoming research, monitoring, evaluation, learning, advisory and technical assignments across development, humanitarian and peacebuilding contexts.

About Progress Inc.

Progress Inc. is an international research, monitoring, evaluation, learning and advisory organisation working with governments, development partners, UN agencies, international and national NGOs, research institutions, foundations and private-sector organisations.

Its work focuses on strengthening evidence-based programming through research studies, evaluations, assessments, technical assistance, capacity strengthening, learning reviews and proposal development.

As its work expands across different countries and regions, Progress Inc. is developing a global database of experienced consultants. The roster will help the organisation identify professionals whose expertise, geographic experience and availability match future assignments and client requirements.

What Is the Global Consultant Roster?

The Global Consultant Roster is intended to provide Progress Inc. with access to qualified experts for future projects and proposal teams.

Consultants included in the roster may be contacted when their profile matches a particular technical requirement, country context or client need. Assignments could be remote or field-based and may vary in length.

Importantly, joining the roster does not guarantee a consultancy contract. Any future engagement will be based on a separate Terms of Reference, agreed scope of work, timeline, availability and remuneration.

This makes the opportunity particularly useful for independent consultants and specialists interested in being considered for future international development and humanitarian assignments.

Areas of Expertise

Progress Inc. is welcoming applications from professionals with expertise across a wide range of sectors.

Key areas include:

• Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL).
• Baseline, midline and endline studies.
• Research, performance and impact evaluations.
• Child protection, youth development and adolescent programming.
• Education and learning assessment.
• Climate change, disaster risk reduction and resilience.
• Humanitarian response and recovery.
• Gender equality, disability and social inclusion.
• Gender-based violence, protection and safeguarding.
• GIS, spatial analysis, remote sensing and data science.
• Governance, democracy, public-sector reform and human rights.
• Health systems strengthening, SRHR, nutrition and WASH.
• Food security, agriculture, agroecology and livelihoods.
• Peacebuilding, conflict sensitivity and social cohesion.
• Policy analysis and strategic planning.
• Knowledge management and learning.
• Institutional assessment and organisational development.
• Proposal development, technical writing and bid support.

Professionals with a combination of technical expertise and strong geographic knowledge may be particularly well positioned for future opportunities.

Global and Regional Experience

The roster has a global focus, with Progress Inc. seeking consultants who understand local systems, institutional environments, field realities and development priorities.

Relevant experience is welcomed across South Asia, Southeast Asia, East Asia and the Pacific, East and Southern Africa, West and Central Africa, the Middle East and North Africa, Europe and Central Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean.

Country-level experience can be especially valuable for research and evaluation assignments because consultants with strong contextual knowledge can better understand local institutions, communities and operating environments.

Language skills are also important. While fluency in English or another relevant working language is expected, additional national and regional languages are considered an asset.

Who Can Apply?

Progress Inc. is encouraging applications from a broad range of experienced professionals. This includes senior experts, mid-level consultants, researchers, evaluators, thematic specialists, data professionals, facilitators, field coordinators and proposal development specialists.

Candidates should ideally demonstrate:

• Relevant professional experience in research, evaluation, assessment, advisory work or technical assistance.
• Strong knowledge in one or more of the listed thematic areas.
• Experience working with governments, NGOs, communities, development agencies, academic institutions or donor-funded programmes.
• Strong analytical and writing abilities.
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
• Ability to work independently and deliver quality outputs on time.
• Availability for short- or medium-term assignments.

Potential Consultancy Assignments

Roster members may be considered for a variety of assignments depending on client requirements.

These could include baseline, midline and endline studies, evaluations, qualitative and quantitative research, survey design, data analysis, policy reviews and institutional assessments.

Other possible assignments include gender and inclusion analysis, humanitarian and resilience studies, field coordination, training and facilitation, capacity strengthening, learning briefs, case studies and knowledge products.

Professionals with strong technical writing skills may also be considered for proposal development, bid support and short-term technical advisory assignments.

How to Apply

Interested consultants should prepare an updated CV and a brief cover letter highlighting their main areas of expertise, geographic experience, language skills and availability.

For consultants looking to expand their international portfolio, the roster represents an opportunity to place their expertise before an organisation working across research, evaluation, humanitarian response, development and peacebuilding.
