Heifer International is an equal opportunity employer.  All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, status as a protected veteran, among other things, or status as a qualified individual with disability. 

**About Heifer International**      

In 1944, Heifer International’s founder, Dan West, began outlining a simple but groundbreaking plan to tackle hunger around the world. West, a farmer from the Midwest and Church of the Brethren member, had recently returned from feeding weary refugees during volunteer service in the Spanish Civil War.     

He had seen firsthand that giving people food was a short-term solution, whereas providing them with animals offered a steady supply of nutritious food for an entire family. His philosophy still inspires Heifer’s work today. Partnering with farmers across a range of different livestock and crops, we create unique solutions to local challenges.      

Today, Heifer International has operations in 19 countries around the world, working alongside local farmers, business owners and their communities, as they mobilize and envision their futures. Together, we build inclusive, resilient economies, so communities can develop effective ways to end global hunger and poverty in a sustainable way.      

To date, we have supported more than 42 million farming families across Africa, Asia and the Americas and in the past five years alone. We have worked alongside 2.7 million families to close the living income gap or set them on a path to doing so. Between now and 2030, we will support an additional 10 million people to reach a living income by scaling up our signature programs. To achieve this, Heifer International relies on its passionate, committed, and highly skilled staff. 

**Our Values**  

At Heifer, our work and culture are grounded in our Cornerstones and Cultural Guiding Principles, which reflect our deep commitment to dignity, fairness, and impact. These values shape how we lead, collaborate, and grow as an organization. We believe in Passing on the Gift, accountability, caring for one another, sustainability, gender and social inclusion, and environmental stewardship.

**Project/Consultancy Title**: Consultant to design a Referral Information Management Platform – Cash Consortium of Sudan

Mercy Corps’ Sudan crisis response seeks to meet the humanitarian needs of vulnerable Sudanese and other conflict-affected people across the country.

The Cash Consortium of Sudan (CCS) is a collaborative platform to advance a progressive vision of the potential of cash assistance to transform humanitarian response and recovery in partnership with vulnerable conflict-affected populations. The CCS was established in 2023 and is led by Mercy Corps, building on its global experience and learning on leading cash consortia in multiple country contexts, as well as general expertise in cash coordination and breadth of technical resources. International partners include Acted, CARE, CORE, the International Rescue Committee (IRC), Concern, GOAL and the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), each of which bring strong cash and complementary technical competencies, as well as expansive operational coverage in Sudan. The CCS also includes twelve Sudanese NGOs as partners in alignment with global aid sector commitments to enhance the prominence of local actors in driving humanitarian response and recovery. IMPACT is a non-implementing partner dedicated to Monitoring, Evaluation, Research and Learning strengthening. IMPACT will support quality data systems, and an objective evidence base that will be essential to CCS’ accountability and adaptive management to refine programming approaches to enhance impact as the Sudan crisis context evolves. The CCS will work closely with other consortia and actors in Sudan to deliver an effective CVA response for communities affected by the crisis.

**Purpose / Project Description:**

The overall objective of the Referral Information Management System (RIMS) is to ensure that people have safe, timely and adequate access to services through more efficient and accountable referral pathways.

*    Develop a detailed work plan, including timeline and resource requirements within the existing budget

*    Develop an SOP and user manuals and training materials relevant to the system design  
*    Roll out trainings for Referral Officers on the referral pathway system documentation
*    Submit a final consultancy short report summarizing the key outputs and outlining next steps including technical design, iterations required for the system
*    Produce the first iteration of the referral trend analysis report from the system

**Timeframe / Schedule:** 

*    3 months (to be completed by March 2026)   

**The Consultant will report to:**

**The Consultant will work closely with:**

*    CCS MEL Manager, CCS Deputy Chief of Party, CCS Partner Referral Officers and Senior Referral Officer, Mercy Corps HQ Digital Team, Area-Based Coordinators and Cluster Coordinators National and Sub-National.

**Required Experience & Skills:**

*    Extensive experience in designing and managing information systems, including database architecture, data workflows, case management structures, data collection tools, and information pathways; previous experience establishing a referral information management system is a strong asset.
