Monitoring and Evaluation Officer (Grade P3)

The International Organization for Migration is seeking interested candidates available for short, mid-term and long-term assignments for positions in community transition and stabilization programming, specifically in the area of Monitoring and Evaluation. Programmes require innovative and experienced candidates in Monitoring and Evaluation with particular skills in the design and establishment of information management systems; in the collection, analysis, and reporting of information; and in training and leading teams to achieve high quality critique, analysis and innovation. The typical operating environments include complex crisis and crisis-prone areas, and require rapid, flexible implementation strategies and creative analysis. Successful Monitoring and Evaluation initiatives will critique and assess programme implementation modalities, assist in achieving maximum efficiency in programme delivery, measure and report results to senior programme staff and counterparts, and directly inform programme strategy on a continual (rolling) basis.

The recruitment/ appointment and entitlements are subject to funding availability/ confirmation.

Applications from qualified female candidates are especially encouraged.

Context:

Reporting to the Programme Manager at the Country Level, the successful candidate will oversee the implementation and development of the Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) activities for community-based transition and stabilization initiatives in a select country undergoing political, economic or social transition. IOM programming in these environments seeks to stabilize populations and promote community stability and transition by addressing forced migration drivers such as the root causes of conflict, local and national governance dynamics, and crisis recovery at the community and national levels.

In close collaboration with programme management, the Monitoring and Evaluation Officer will train and lead a national M/E team in day-to-day activities, will maintain close coordination with donor counterparts, and will represent the programme to external agencies and counterparts in order to identify and promote synergies with parallel programming within the Country. The Monitoring and Evaluation Officer will hold overall responsibility for the development of coherent and regularly updated M/E strategies, for ensuring the performance of M/E team members, and the production and delivery of quality reports, data and analysis based on the M&E inputs.

  1. Build the capacity of the programme’s M&E activities, including through the recruitment and training of experienced staff in order to meet expanding programme needs.

  2. Manage the M&E team effectively to ensure comprehensive and detailed coverage of grant-level project activities throughout all stages of implementation.

  3. Review reports from external monitoring actors and incorporate important information into senior management team briefings.

  4. Organize frequent briefings for Senior Management to present lessons learned and inform revisions to regional strategies.

  5. Draft evaluation reports at the project activity level regularly, disseminate these to relevant stakeholders and highlight any/all necessary follow-up actions. Develop broader reports about topical(strategic) programme issues, as determined in coordination with senior management.

  6. Review M&E plans regularly and ensure their pertinence to programme goals and objectives.

  7. Liaise with the donor regularly to share programme experiences and engage in cross-fertilization of ideas across implementing partners.

  8. Document monitoring and evaluation trends and activities on a geographic or thematic level.

  9. Coordinate within the IOM programme team to compile requisite monitoring documentation for each project activity in preparation for activity closure.
