  • Ensure the accurate design of evidence gathering elements, including clear and robust rationale, budgets and resourcing. 

  • Maintain open lines of communication among internal stakeholders about project progress and escalate risk when needed. A key focus is to assist institutional funding and senior management with communications on project progress and challenges. 

Evidence generation and learning 

  • Lead Country and Global teams to conduct evidence generation activities to support strategic direction including, project baseline, annual and endline data collection, reporting and learning at project and portfolio (strategy) level 

  • Analyse, consolidate and disseminate indicator baseline and endline data, provide technical support to donor reporting when necessary 

  • Support the integration of needs and opinions expressed by people and communities we serve 

  • Collaborate with MEL team members to analyse performance data, write reports and provide recommendations 

  • Ensure that learning from project baselines contributes to project design, implementation and improvements in MEL practice

  • Support the design, delivery and dissemination of learning, particularly around inclusion, within and between relevant thematic areas

You will have a background in the comprehensive design and delivery of outcome focussed qualitative approaches/techniques including participatory MEL, tool development, data collection, analysis and reporting, and have experience of analysing rich qualitative data from multiple sources including the use of appropriate analysis methods and data analysis software tools.
