Description

Global Communities, formerly CHF International, is an international non-profit organization that works closely with communities worldwide to bring about sustainable changes that improve the lives and livelihoods of the vulnerable.

Global Communities is seeking an experienced Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist for an anticipated USAID-funded rapid response community engagement program in Jordan. The program will work with local partners to mitigate and resolve tension and instability caused by both domestic volatility and the massive influx of refugees. The program will focus on two primary components: 1. Mitigate community tensions through increased ability of non-government organizations (NGO), community based organizations (CBO), government authorities, informal actors and communities to peacefully and constructively resolve community stressors; and 2. Promote positive interaction between displaced Syrians and Jordanian host communities and within Jordanian communities.

The Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist will be responsible for leading all monitoring and evaluation activities for the program, including: developing and managing the project M&E system; providing quarterly reporting information as part of the program’s Performance Management Plan (PMP); managing the data collection process to include schedules, logistics and methodologies in coordination with data collection teams and other staff; analyzing and interpreting qualitative and quantitative data to gauge project impact; and reporting on activities, accomplishments, and results.  The position is contingent upon funding. 

Qualifications:

• Advanced degree in statistics or a relevant field.
• 5-7 years of experience monitoring and evaluating complex international development programs.
• Experience with quantitative and qualitative research methods, tools, and techniques.
• Excellent knowledge of advanced statistics and research methodology, including sampling techniques and methodologies, professional use of computer software for statistical analysis, and other relevant applications such as SPSS, STATA and spreadsheets.
