SUMMARY:

The Global Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning Officer is part of the Global MEAL team and contributes to ECHO’s development and roll-out of a Global MEAL system to foster the growth of a learning organization. The role helps ensure timely, accurate and useful program information is collected, analyzed and communicated through ECHO’s reporting processes, with reports reviewed and approved by the appropriate directors and executives. The role will contribute to the collection of quantitative data and qualitative stories to track progress on ECHO’s Strategic Framework Logframe indicators. This role requires a curious, proactive self-starter who gets excited about supporting our organization to move beyond a compliance attitude towards reporting on what happened, to always asking more questions on why and how change did or did not happen and what that means for strategic decision-making. This is a support role with room for initiative and independent work under the direction of the Global MEAL Lead; it does not carry decision-making authority.

Support MEAL officers and reporting officers based at Regional Impact Centers with monthly reporting
Assist in managing the ECHO Kobo Toolbox account, including projects, tools and membership
Review submissions for completeness, consistency and data quality

Support Tracking of Progress Towards Strategic Framework Logframe:
