What You'll Do
You will use the project logframe and budget to make a detailed design of the Monitoring, Reporting and Learning (MRL) system with key indicators and milestones:

• You will oversee the use of the M&E management information systems to capture and report the outputs from M&E activities.
• You will develop data collection tools, conduct analysis of data (both qualitative and quantitative data) and contribute to report writing for M&E studies and formative assessments, and other programme reviews.
• You will contribute to the programme’s learning process to facilitate the documentation and dissemination of lessons learnt.
• You will be responsible for ensuring that key information from the programme, and other relevant resource centres are captured and shared efficiently across partners and regional networks.
• You will outline the management information system, define reporting requirements for managers responsible for implementing activities/components and define formats for standard reports as per the requirements of DFID (e.g., quarterly and annual reports).
• You will also ensure that the MRL system is based on a learning orientation and is focused around the needs of the decision-makers to manage for impact.
• You will assess if MRL findings are being used to make decisions and increase project impact, and if necessary, identify what can be undertaken to ensure this happens.
• You will also assist in the project management unit in quarterly and annual reporting as well as external reviews (annual reviews, mid-term evaluation).
