Consultant – Indigenous Populations Consultations Expert
Position: Indigenous Populations Consultations Expert

About LINC
LINC is a mission-driven US-based small business committed to supporting local stakeholders to lead their own development. We work to achieve our mission through research on best practices, monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) to improve programming, capacity strengthening for both international practitioners and local actors, facilitating collective and collaborative processes, and implementing innovative programs. In Mexico, LINC is implementing the USAID Monitoring and Evaluation Support for Adaptation (MESA) Activity , which is designed to strengthen the monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) and collaborating, learning, and adapting (CLA) systems and capacity of the USAID/Mexico Mission and its implementing partners.
The USAID/Mexico Program Office and Office of Sustainable Development have requested MESA's support to review and refine a process for consulting with indigenous populations that complies with USAID policy, Mexican law, and other best practices. In 2020, USAID launched its Policy on Promoting the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. This Policy recognizes the value of Indigenous Peoples' own decision-making processes and visions for development. In Mexico, the Mission's current and expected future portfolio overlaps with geographic areas or interests of indigenous populations located in the Northern and Southern regions of the country.
Consultancy Description
MESA is seeking a consultant to conduct informational discussions to answer USAID/Mexico's questions, complete a review of the current workbook, and recommend concrete revisions to the workbook and other tools or guides that USAID/Mexico uses based on the consultant's experience and the interests of the Mission. The consultant must have expertise in engaging indigenous populations of Mexico, have a deep understanding of relevant Mexican law, and be able to provide specific recommendations to USAID/Mexico to improve its processes and guidelines for consulting and engaging indigenous populations.
Tasks and Activities
Working under the direction of the Chief of Party, and collaborating with the MESA Data Management and Visualization Specialist, and other relevant LINC and USAID/Mexico staff, the consultant will complete the following:
Location
Remote technical assistance and online participation. If appropriate and feasible, in-person meetings may be organized in Mexico City.
LOE
Up to 12 days (equivalent to 96 hours) total are anticipated between February 12 and March 31,
2024
Qualifications
Application Instructions
Please send your resume/CV and daily rate to with the subject line "Indigenous Populations Consultations". All applications will be reviewed, but only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
