Monitoring, Evaluation, Learning Advisor (MEAL)

The mandate is under the Equality in Action Volunteer Cooperation Program (VCP), which takes place in 12 countries and 3 regions over an eight-year period (2020-2028). 

The VCP aims to increase the involvement of local partners in countries of intervention in inclusive, innovative and sustainable initiatives that will advance gender equality. Oxfam's role is to support these organizations, working with the most vulnerable and marginalized people, to claim and exercise their rights. Oxfam places the rights of women, girls, and vulnerable and marginalized people at the heart of everything it does.

Here's what your daily life will look like: 

In close collaboration with Oxfam's in-country team members and the partners, your mandate will be to: 

• Develop VCP partner baselines and the VCP Annual Work Plan (PTA) to ensure capacity building of VCP partners consistent with identified priorities and adopting a feminist approach to ensure that gender equality and women's rights are at the center of everyone's thinking and actions;  

• Lead the formative and summative evaluations of the VCP according to donor requirements, and extract lessons learned for the improvement of the intervention;  

• Accompany volunteers in the design of proposals and development of indicators and tools for monitoring and evaluation of local and global funds;

• Coordinate the elaboration and delivery of the annual evaluation reports of the PCV by the partners and of the annual accountability reports by the volunteers on the capacity building activities developed;
