With your extensive peacebuilding experience, you’ll work with the team to develop and implement sophisticated metrics for measuring these changes over time. You’ll feed this information back into programme delivery, to ensure programmes remain accountable to the wider population and adapt to the rapidly changing and fragile contexts in which we work.
You’ll also use your flair for writing and your publishing skills to produce more informal news items, telling stories of the impact of our work, and publicising the recommendations that come from dialogues we facilitate. This will help us amplify voices that are often ignored by decision makers, leading to evidence-based policy making.

Responsible for programme monitoring and evaluation
Ensure the programme adapts and evolves to meet the needs identified, remaining accountable to communities affected by conflict.
Monitor against performance indicators to check that the project is delivering as planned. Identify issues and agree action plans to address.
Monitor against the Theory of Change and ensure the programme is achieving the intended impact. If not, identify what needs to change and how to create that change.
Capture learning and identify what worked, what didn’t work and what we’d do differently next time.
Responsible for producing timely internal and external reports
Lead the MEAL team to produce monthly and bi-annual donor reports on all regional programme activities.
Generate clear, professional and visually attractive reports that explain the impact of our work and the recommendations from our dialogues.
Work with the Communications team producing informal news items, telling the story of the impact of our work and publicising the recommendations that come from dialogues facilitated by Concordis.
Create a culture of accountability and learning across the Regional Team
Lead on ensuring staff across the programme understand the role of MEAL in their work and have the skills to operate the required systems and capture the data.
Deliver training and coaching on our approach to MEAL, techniques and tools to the wider team.
Leadership responsibility in the Regional Team
Deputise for the Central African Regional Director in their absence.
As part of the regional Senior Leadership Team oversee the work and staff teams in the regional hubs in CAR, Cameroon, Chad and Sudan.
Concordis works alongside those involved in or affected by armed conflict, helping them find workable solutions.
