You have a demonstrated understanding of contemporary qualitative and quantitative MEL methodologies and you engage sensitively with people from different cultural groups, as well as diplomatically with international partners and foreign governments to achieve programme objectives.  Additionally, you offer:

  • Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills across diverse groups and major donors
  • Demonstrated ethical leadership, team management, and capacity building experience
  • Exceptional verbal and written communication skills; public speaking and report writing skills

  • Delivery of donor-funded programmes and adaptive programming experience is desirable
  • Experience harnessing technology to deliver MEL objectives is a strong advantage
