The role
This role is a brilliant opportunity to join a small but growing international development organisation to help develop the programming team.

You will be part of a developing programming team who are constantly looking for new and innovative ways to provide equal opportunities to as many children as we can.

Compiling, analysing and reporting data for key programmatic outputs, outcomes, and impact indicators, including routine data validation;
Ensuring timely production of monthly, quarterly and annual internal and external M&E reports based on agreed performance indicators;
Assisting in developing an organisational MEL framework, programme indicators and reporting systems for programmes activities;
Contributing to the development and maintenance of the programmes data management systems for increased data accuracy, reliability and increasing programming impact and coverage.

Some office management responsibilities
Whatever else may be required for our programming work.
The role will be on contract initially but there is a long term opportunity available. If you work well for us, we want you to help us grow in Kenya.
This is an exciting and challenging job for a self starter with a passion for making a difference….and for measuring the impact of that difference.
About you
You will have a good understanding of programming and working with multiple implementing partners. You will understand the importance of sustainable programming approaches and the need to demonstrate impact, both internally to other departments within Child.org, and externally to current and potential donors.
You will spend the majority of your time on our flagship programme, HealthStart. HealthStart is a school health programme funded by Comic Relief that improves children’s access to health interventions in primary schools. We’re working in 25 schools in Kisumu County and we expect our network
