Kind of development: Customization of existing program
Description of requirements/functionality: ILRI is working with a number of software tools that require ongoing inputs from a skilled programmer. These include:
• EXTRAPOLATE: Ex ante Tool for Ranking Policy Alternatives. (see http://www.fao.org/ag/againfo/programmes/en/pplpi/dsextra.html)
• SLATE: Sustainable Livelihoods Asset Evaluation. A tool for managing the data required to household livelihoods characterisations, benchmarking exercises and typology formulations based on these.

Extra notes: ILRI (www.ilri.org) is working with a number of software tools that require ongoing inputs from a skilled programmer.
These include:
• EXTRAPOLATE: Ex ante Tool for Ranking Policy Alternatives. (see http://www.fao.org/ag/againfo/programmes/en/pplpi/dsextra.html)
• SLATE: Sustainable Livelihoods Asset Evaluation. A tool for managing the data required to household livelihoods characterisations, benchmarking exercises and typology formulations based on these.
• Feed Planning Tool: A new tool for exploring feed treatment, transport and allocation options (see: http://livestock-fish.wikispaces.com/Feed+selection+tool ).
Skills required:
• Experienced RAD programmer with strong Delphi skills including the use of third party tools (including DBISAM / ElevateDB, DevExpress, FastReports, TeeChart, TMS).
• Good SQL and general database design and management skills
• Some interface design and testing experience would be an advantage
Scope of initial work:
Initially, the work will focus on Extrapolate with the following deliverables:
• General debug of the programme structure and function.
• Prototype tree-based exploration of model structures.
• Improve programme outputs (data pro formas and reports).
We can agree the specifics of these activities with the successful bidder. We would expect the work to be completed in three weeks in the first instance but we can be flexible.
The work can be done remotely, but if the candidate is based in the UK, Kenya or Ethiopia, we may wish to have occasional face to face meetings.
Please provide samples of previous past work, and at least one reference (preferably from PPH) that we can contact.
