UNOCHA Monitoring and Evaluation Officer

I. Position Information
Job Title: Monitoring and Evaluation Officer - UNOCHA Duty Station: Nairobi, Kenya Reports to: Deputy Head of Funding Unit Type of Contract: Fixed Term Appointment (Local)
Level/Grade: NOB

II. Organizational Context
Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) has been identified by the humanitarian community in Somalia as a major issue of concern that needs to be addressed. The lack of access has forced most agencies to implement their programmes by remote management. The lack of reliable data on humanitarian assistance delivery and its impact on beneficiaries is increasingly being cited by the donors as a reason for limited funding.
The Common Humanitarian Fund has defined a new Monitoring, Reporting and capacity assessment framework and the strategy will be put in place in 2013. The work is as a result of wide consultations with the different stakeholders including UN Agencies and NGO’s. 200 projects implemented by more than 110 partners are funded on a yearly basis in all different sectors in all-over Somalia for a total of 100 million USD per year.

The creation of this post and the implementation of the proposed strategy is considered an important part of the on-going efforts of the Somalia operation as a whole to enhance its accountability.
It is envisaged that the M&E Officer will work closely with the Deputy Head of the Humanitarian Funding Unit. She/he will also work closely with the IMU and PI Units which are currently responsible for reporting and data tracking.
