Then read on because DCA is looking to fill the position of Senior Innovation Advisor.
DanChurchAid and Innovation.
DCA’s has an inherent and continuing commitment to innovation based on the understanding that the most effective ways of bringing about the changes we want to see in the world might not be known to us yet. As such DanChurchAid (DCA) prioritizes innovation as a vehicle for always increasing impact towards our mission and goals, and in turn increase our impact.
DCAs strategic framework for innovation is based on the four principles of alignment, breadth, impact and scale. These principles ensure that innovation efforts are aligned with the strategic objectives, relevant for the entire organisation and seek to deliver impact at scale.
DCA has invested significantly in innovation in its international programme portfolio, and the ability to demonstrate innovation in programming is increasingly a funding and programming parameter for DCA’s key donors. This includes new or improved products, services, partnerships, programmes or processes/approaches, that create value for stakeholders and simultaneously ensures a larger impact against our global goals.
Initiatives are supported across DCA’s scopes of work at country and global level, and span the range of DCA’s thematic focus areas both at the pilot and scale up stage. These range from digital innovations to exploring new business models for DCA in fields such as impact investments and micro-insurance as well changing the way we organise our learning.
For example, new digitally enabled approaches to mine action in Libya; increasing use of weather data to make small holder farmers more resilient in the face of climate change in Cambodia and Zimbabwe; digitising village savings and loans associations and finding ways to increase financial inclusion in Uganda and Malawi; development of a mobile enabled peer-to-peer learning approach to support youth entrepreneurship in Kakuma refugee camp, Kenya. Additionally, exploring market systems development and value chains for development is high on DCA agenda in engagement with private sector actors. Organisationally, an organisation-wide Community of Practice on innovation brings on board 50 staff from HQ and 10 country programmes and enables easy access to innovation resources while facilitating experience sharing and learning across the organisation, while the thematic advisory functions in the organisation have been reformed to better engage in cross-learning and learning.
The role of the Innovation Advisor;
In order to further this work DCA now embarks on broadening out and institutionalising approaches to innovation across a range of organisational processes and workstreams:
1. leadership, developing an organisation fit for innovation
2. strategy, unifying the organisation around innovation for global goals
3. partnerships, identifying, developing and maintaining partnerships for innovation
4. financing, financing innovation and development of innovative financing models
5. learning, generating and integrating evidence of innovative value
6. practice, supporting innovation from idea to scale
These are all areas in which DCA is already pushing the innovation agenda through efforts driven by a range of internal stakeholders. To provide further support, guidance, sparring as well as cohesion, we are looking to recruit a new colleague who can sit at the centre of these efforts and stakeholders.
As our new colleague we shall look to you to help us fuel and drive innovation efforts at the centre of formal and informal internal structures and networks, with the envisaged work of you – and the organisation more broadly - organised around the six works streams. We shall look to you to support ongoing innovation initiatives as well as identifying and harnessing innovations that emerge within as well as outside our organisation. With this position we are looking for someone to guide us as we build on the initiatives outlined above. We expect you to challenge and refine our thinking, provide inputs to strategic decisions and get involved with hands-on support defined by the organisational needs that you help us define and crystallise.
Responsibilities to follow the progression of our development
The new Senior Innovation Advisor will have a major stake in the DCA approach to innovation in the coming years and will therefore also be instrumental in identifying the priorities for his/her own position together with management.

- Process and project support to DCA country offices and partners including coordination and/or facilitation of training and workshops
- Facilitate the documentation of results and ensure cross-organizational learning via dissemination of case stories, narratives, and reports.
- Scope, identify and support the positioning of DCA to attract and/or be eligible for resources becoming available through new financial instruments from the private and public sectors.
- Take the lead in partnerships for innovation including building relations with strategic partners, knowledge partners, programmatic partners and other networks and alliances.
- Representation of DCA in relevant innovation-focused events and collaborative forums in Denmark and internationally.
