About ARM

Anti-Racism Movement (ARM) is a non-governmental organization working to dismantle systemic racism and achieve social, economic, and gender justice for migrant workers and racialized groups in Lebanon since 2011. Migrant Community Center (MCC) is a safer space for migrants living under Kafala. MCC works with migrant domestic workers to improve their living and working conditions and build their capacities to self-advocate for their rights as agents and leaders of change. Its programs include community-building, capacity-building, psychosocial wellbeing, community-led initiatives, and advocacy.

Consultancy Purpose and Scope

The Data Management System Consultant will be in charge of supporting ARM’s team in leading the process of identifying the adequate data management system that the team will be using to collect, store and manage their relevant data. The system identification process will be building on the pre-assessed needs of the three implementing and the Programs team and their current internal data collection and reporting systems (Advocacy, CaseWork and MCC).

The consultant will meet with the relevant ARM teams to finalize the needs assessment already begun by ARM (all previous materials will be shared with the consultant).

The consultant is then responsible for conducting  thorough research of software and data management system solutions that would directly answer to the needs expressed by ARM and within ARM’s material limitations.

Finally, the consultant will work on a primary prototyping and/or visualization of the agreed-upon solutions.

Deliverables

-Meetings as needed (further detailed below)

-Short initial report on the summary of needs, shared with ARM management

-Full written report on proposed options

-Prototyping session held by consultant for relevant ARM staff to test out and choose final option

Both the initial short report and the final report deadline will be determined with the consultant, and the report will act as a roadmap for phase two of the project during migration onto the system.

The report will be used by ARM’s team as a roadmap to implement the action plan suggested in order to build the data management system based on the consultant’s recommendation.

Communication and consultancy relationships

The consultant will be in direct contact with the MEAL Manager at ARM who will be supervising this consultancy. Occasional contact with ARM staff, mainly the focal points assigned on this project and the directors, will take place at different times and will be managed by the MEAL Manager. External communication with service providers might also take place as part of the identification process; the consultant will decide on who to reach out to and when to do so.
