İlan Detayları
CARE Turkey is working to provide humanitarian aid related to the crisis in Syria, through direct implementation cross-border and within Turkey and with much of the field implementation work essentially being carried out by partner organizations in Turkey and CARE Syria’s Northern Hub.
This is a demanding role, it requires the expertise of MEL specialist with high communication and coordination skills. The MEL Unit is positioned under the Program Quality Department and the workload can be high with conflicting deadlines. We are looking for a passionate MEL Specialist, committed to good MEL standards and a drive to support partners improve their own monitoring capacity.
The MEL Unit assists senior management to demonstrate progress of results and effectiveness from various donor-funded grants, as well as to facilitate a process whereby lessons are learned from the operation as a whole. CARE projects are sector-based, complex and operating in an unpredictable, emergency setting comprised of protracted and acute/ rapid response.
One key part of the information that feeds into this comes from project monitoring and management, and MEL unit aims for the systematic incorporation of MEAL information into programme and project design and implementation. This includes a continuous process that uses systematic collection of data on specified indicators as well as wider information (e.g. women’s consultation and participation, quality benchmarks monitoring) throughout the project cycle to provide management and stakeholders information on progress and achievement of results and the quality of our implementation, that in turn they can use to continuously adapt and improve.
The MEL Specialist will bring significant operational and managerial experience to strengthen and improve CARE’s Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning System. This will focus on achieving objectives planned for the duration of the CARE Syria operation and fulfillment of project MEL requirements across the portfolio in multiple locations. The position will take a lead role in coordination of and contribution to the management of technical MEAL advice to program teams.
S/he will work to continuously improve the existing MEL system with specific focus on the following areas: MEL services in alignment with the project and program cycle and the oversight of the use of relevant tools and methods at the partner and field level. S/he will ensure that all CARE and Partner projects are periodically monitored and verified, sample results are triangulated and reported for output level progress against targets, and where feasible, outcome level changes. CARE is striving for gender parity in its team structure. We particularly welcome applications for this job from female candidates.
The MEL Specialist will be responsible for ensuring the cross border and northern Aleppo programs:
- Is compliant with standardized or harmonized project Monitoring and Evaluatiom requirements and is tracking progress against targets;
- Has captured adequate and reliable data to demonstrate the effect of project work on the target population;
- Ensures the provision of regular, timely and context-specific monitoring information to program teams and senior management to enable effective management decisions.
- Builds an evidence base through the use of assessments, surveys, evaluations, and learning exercises to refine project design, technical approaches and strategic direction and to demonstrate what works inside Syria.
