Background: Mercy Corps is a leading global organization powered by the belief that a better world is possible. In disaster, in hardship, in more than 40 countries around the world, we partner to put bold solutions into action - helping people triumph over adversity and build stronger communities from within. Over the past 10 years, Mercy Corps has embarked on a journey to challenge and address gender inequality and social exclusion in our organization, our programs, and our sector. Across Mercy Corps' global adolescent and youth programming1, wellbeing emerges as a critical component for enabling young people to learn, build skills, pursue economic opportunities, and fully participate in their communities. However, the concept of wellbeing remains an amorphous and inconsistently defined concept across programs, which constrains coherent program design, implementation, and the reliable measurement of wellbeing outcomes. Adolescent and youth wellbeing is one of the three primary elements of Mercy Corps' Resilient Youth through Systems Engagement (RYSE) approach (in addition to youth participation and systems engagement), which guides how young people gain capacities and opportunities, particularly in relation to economic opportunities, food security and nutrition, and peace and good governance). While RYSE emphasizes the importance of wellbeing, it does not provide a specific definition of the concept, which could be applied in program design and measurement. These interrelated concepts of wellbeing correspond to the diverse existing approaches that Mercy Corps pursues to develop adolescent and youth wellbeing, which range from psychosocial support (PSS/MHPSS) to broader social and economic outcomes, as well as the developing supportive enabling environments such as family, peers, and community supports. Importantly, an intersectional understanding of wellbeing is required to reflect the diverse experiences, needs, and strengths across groups that engage in Mercy Corps adolescent and youth programming, such as girls, refugees, rural youth, and other marginalized populations. Objectives Mercy Corps aims to establish an evidence-based, youth-informed definition of wellbeing and a wellbeing framework to guide program design, implementation and measurement. Given the variability in wellbeing concepts and the need for strong anchoring in humanitarian settings, this process will produce a unified conceptualization, results framework, measurement guidance, and implementation recommendations grounded in literature, internal evidence, and participatory input from young people. The wellbeing framework will include, among others, outcome indicators, types of program activities supported by evidence achieving wellbeing outcomes across individual, household, and community levels of the socio-ecological model. The objectives will be achieved through the following elements: * Synthesize internal and external evidence on wellbeing programming and measurement., including internal documents and datasets (e.g., outcome monitoring indicator data, program evaluations) as well as relevant external research and impact evaluations. * Conduct participatory consultations with young people to co-define wellbeing and framework components, following a Level 6 participation approach (adult-initiated, shared decisions with youth) on the Ladder of Participation. * Develop a Mercy Corps Wellbeing Framework for adolescent and youth programs that defines wellbeing, program activities, and measurement options. The Consultant will: Literature Review and Evidence Synthesis Conduct a structured literature review and evidence synthesis of: * Mercy Corps youth programs relevant to wellbeing (approximately 6 programs expected), including outcome indicators, sex- and age- disaggregated data (SADD), program implementation documentation and evaluations. * External academic and programmatic literature on adolescent and youth wellbeing, including in humanitarian contexts and multi-dimensional wellbeing models. * Existing indicators and measurement tools from Mercy Corps and other organizations to assess their relevance, feasibility, and evidence strength, as well as gaps in measurement of wellbeing. Youth Participation * Implement youth participation processes to define youth wellbeing. The participation activities engage diverse adolescents and youth from selected programs. As young people in multiple countries will participate in separate sessions, these activities will be conducted online. * The online participatory activities with young people will explore how they define wellbeing in their context, factors that contribute to or detract from wellbeing, and how program activities support or hinder wellbeing. The young people will be current or former Mercy Corps program participants, facilitating identification, communication and informed consent. * Participatory activities will involve focus group discussions with creative methodologies, such as story or photo-based methods). * Mercy Corps will provide logistical support to the organization of these online activities, such as identification of participants, scheduling of sessions etc. Draft the Wellbeing Definition and Framework * Develop a definition of wellbeing based on the review of literature and evidence products, and insights from the adolescent and youth participation. The concept of wellbeing is expected to reflect the interplay of dimensions identified by young people (e.g. physical, emotional), and articulate factors that positively or negatively shape a person's wellbeing. The concept should be context-responsive and incorporate an intersectional lens, accounting for e.g. gender, age, disability status, socioeconomic status, and crisis context. * Building on this conceptual foundation, create a wellbeing framework to illustrate how program components, such as safe spaces for adolescents and youth, market systems development (MSD), parental engagement interventions, contribute to wellbeing outcomes, with guidance on activity selection based on program type, age group, gender, and humanitarian or development setting * Develop a table mapping program activities to wellbeing dimensions, evidence strength, and measurement tools, alongside a clear identification of measurement gaps and priority areas for future research or investment. * To accompany the Framework, review existing measurement tools and develop a menu of wellbeing indicators with measurement guidance notes (Performance Indicator Reference Sheets) and tools. Finalizing the Wellbeing Framework * Present the draft wellbeing definition, framework and associated materials in validation sessions with Mercy Corps staff, including global and regional Technical Support, Evidence and Program Quality (TEQ) teams and country program teams. * Incorporate feedback from these sessions to finalize the framework and deliverables. Deliverables The following deliverables will be developed: * Literature and evidence review summary report (up to 10 pages): Synthesizes key conceptual, programmatic, and measurement insights on adolescent and youth wellbeing from Mercy Corps, external organizations, and academic sources. * Youth participation workshop materials: Workshop materials, including facilitator guides, activities, discussion prompts, and visual aids, designed to explore youth-defined wellbeing and adaptable for diverse contexts and participants. * Youth participation report outlining the methods, findings and implications (up to 12 pages): Report summarizing methods, participant insights on wellbeing, key needs and barriers, and implications for program design and measurement. * Wellbeing definition and results framework (visual framework with written narrative), comprising: * Definition of multi-dimensional adolescent and youth wellbeing from an intersectional perspective * Program activities supported by evidence of wellbeing outcomes * Mapping of measurement tools and indicators to assess domains of wellbeing outcomes, with a menu of proposed wellbeing indicators with measurement guidance notes (Performance Indicator Reference Sheets) and tools.

Background: Mercy Corps is a leading global organization powered by the belief that a better world is possible. In disaster, in hardship, in more than 40 countries around the world, we partner to put bold solutions into action - helping people triumph over adversity and build stronger communities from within. Decreases in humanitarian funding overall from both US and European institutional donors will not respond to the needs, which are bound to increase due to climate change. The frequency and impact of climate-related disasters is likely to increase in the years to come, leading to further displacements and negative impacts on both households and small businesses. Many climate hazards are predictable - they do not have to be treated as surprises. We do need to find ways to protect the populations we are working with against those shocks - not only to respond to their immediate needs and help them rebuild after a disaster hits, but also to protect the economic gains our programs have contributed to. It is in this context that Mercy Corps is currently re-evaluating its strategy and exploring how it can better leverage the insurance sector to 1. Improve impact in our support to climate-affected populations; and 2. Expand our programmatic approach into disaster risk finance. Mercy Corps is not starting from zero, but rather seeks to build on its experience and a series of initiatives that have, over the years, contributed to generating a strong body of knowledge. Our experience ranges from establishing MiCRO in Latin America, a micro-insurance company providing insurance policies against earthquakes to the most vulnerable, to working with local insurance companies such as Takaful in Kenya to test remote-sensing insurance for pastoralist populations, or providing equity to Pula Insurance through Mercy Corps Ventures. While these experiences have been successful overall, it is now time to not only bring all of our experiences under one roof but also develop a strong value proposition for Mercy Corps in the disaster risk management and insurance space. Purpose / Project Description: Mercy Corps is seeking support from insurance experts to define our value proposition and partnership models for advancing inclusive insurance. Mercy Corps' positioning will need to be built on our current experience; and considered at three levels - at the macro level, working with national governments and insurance partners to pool funds and protect a large segment of the population; at the meso level to protect aggregators such as agribusinesses and financial institutions who can then provide coverage to their members/clients; and at the micro level, working with small businesses, smallholder farmers and individuals to facilitate access to insurance. It also includes taking stock of Mercy Corps' experience with different models such as anticipatory action models, parametric/index-based insurance and/or traditional indemnity insurance, and bundling insurance with other financial services. Mercy Corps is already working with a student team from George Washington University to map the weather-related insurance sector, identify areas of opportunity, and compile lessons learned from the broader insurance sector in that region. Mercy Corps is seeking a consultant to complement this work and develop a strategic roadmap that will include: * A framework and theory of change based on a comprehensive SWOT analysis and strong understanding of the current trends in inclusive insurance, underlining how Mercy Corps can respond to the challenges currently faced by private insurance corporations in expanding their offering/client base and how much of the gaps left by the loss of funding in emergency response insurance can fill. This framework will clearly define the connection points between anticipatory action, private insurance, and macro schemes such as ARC Replica. * Recommendations on investable and scalable models; * A clear, actionable blueprint for engaging with new insurance partners Consultant Activities: The consultant will: * Identify the areas of opportunity for Mercy Corps at the macro, meso and micro levels * Develop a clear value proposition for Mercy Corps, including programming areas and messaging * Develop a donor engagement plan, including the identification of priority donors who have aligned priorities and those donors to engage with within a longer-term horizon Consultant Deliverables: The Consultant will create: * Value Proposition and Recommended Modalities Presentation outlining Mercy Corps programming priorities in the weather risk insurance sector * Complementary Donor Research information to be added to Mercy Corps' and the students' team own donor research. * A Strategic Written Report & Presentation to summarize the findings/analysis of Mercy Corps' value proposition, programmatic areas, detailed explanations of the proposed modalities, and how best to sell them to new donors/insurance corporations. Timeframe / Schedule: The consultancy is expected to start in January 2026 and end no later than April 2026 - for a maximum of 20 days during that time period. The Consultant will report to: * Sr Director Economic Opportunities * Sr Advisor, Financial Inclusion The Consultant will work closely with: * Institutional Donor Engagement * Philanthropic Growth and Engagement * Director ZCRA project Required Experience & Skills: * Demonstrated experience in private insurance sector, including strong understanding of current industry trends and challenges * Solid experience in financial services/insurance strategy development and positioning * In depth knowledge of weather-based insurance models - indemnity and parametric - in developing countries * Proven ability to analyze complex programmatic work and translate it into clear, compelling investment propositions and partnership models * Excellent communication and facilitation skills, with the ability to engage senior leaders Desired Experience * Knowledge of INGOs, including humanitarian assistance and resilience programming * Good understanding of the ARC Replica and other disaster risk financing in fragile contexts Team Engagement and Effectiveness Achieving our mission starts with how we build our team and collaborate. By bringing together individuals with a variety of experiences, backgrounds, and perspectives, we strengthen our ability to solve complex challenges and drive innovation. We foster a culture of trust and respect, where every team member is valued for their contributions, empowered to reach their full potential, and motivated to do their best work.
