    icon Kenya Senior Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Officer

    About the programme:
    Kenya is the largest economy in East Africa and has for many years been the economic and democratic stronghold amongst conflict and poverty ridden neighbours. However, electoral violence, corruption and a lack of accountability have undermined the Government’s ability to ensure inclusive growth and service delivery. Kenya’s Vision 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are ambitious, but success is possible where reforms are well-grounded in political and economic realities, sequenced and focused on improving tangible services to citizens. To achieve more inclusive and accountable governance, and ensure effective poverty reduction and better public services, Kenya requires credible and non-violent elections, stronger performance and interaction of formal oversight institutions, and citizens and a civil society that mobilise for improved responsiveness and accountability of officials. DFID has designed the Deepening Democracy Programme (DDP) to support formal accountability institutions, civil society organisations and other accountability mechanisms to contribute to this change.
    The combined impact of DDP is more inclusive and accountable governance in Kenya. DDP has two main results areas – electoral and non-electoral accountability. Electoral accountability will be strengthened through (i) supporting more credible elections in 2017 and the future; (ii) improving civic engagement in elections; and (iii) contributing to a more inclusive electoral process for historically marginalised groups (e.g. women).
    Non-electoral accountability will focus on supporting state and non-state accountability and oversight institutions on a demand driven basis by (i) strengthening capacity of and facilitating linkages between formal oversight agencies; supporting climate change governance reforms; and (ii) supporting civil society to improve their participation and advocacy on key issues such as planning, budgeting, climate change, and service delivery.
    Scope of work:
    The Senior Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Officer will be the most senior point of contact, support and guidance on M&E for DDPs grantees. He/she will help translate DDP MEL needs to other Monitoring, Evaluation, Adaptation and Learning (MEAL) staff and to the grantees themselves.

He/she should be familiar with international standards for monitoring health development interventions, as well as the methodologies used to collect and analyse such data. The Expert will be expected to review all donor and partner-related documentation for DFID health programming in Somalia (i.e. Somalia Health and Nutrition Programme). Working closely with the LAMPS TPM Lead, the Expert will be expected to provide practical technical guidance and inputs to develop and finalise a health-specific verification tool(s) and accompanying implementation protocol(s). This tool, or set of tools, should focus on and capture data around the most common technical areas of health interventions, such as the Essential Package of Health Services (EPHS), vaccination campaigns, or demand creation campaigns. Finally, the Health Monitoring Expert will design a training (inclusive of training materials) and lead a Training of Trainers (TOTs), which will cascade down to LAMPS monitors based in Somalia.
    3. Responsibilities and activities
    · Review all donor and partner documentation (e.g. Business Case, Contract or Administrative Agreements, Proposals, Workplans, Approach papers or concept notes, M&E documents, etc.) for all DFID health programming in Somalia.
    · Meet with the DFID Advisors and key staff of the implementing partners (or consortium management units) and receive briefings on programme priorities, planning, challenges, and life cycle of programme and components, as well as supply chain and partner-specific scopes of work.
    · Liaise with LAMPS TPM team to become familiar with LAMPS TPM strategy, approach, methodologies and tools, as well as the TPM Analytical Framework and Activity Performance Index (API).
    · Working in close coordination with the TPM Lead, develop: DFID Health verification tool(s), accompanying implementation protocol tools, and guidance on data analysis and judgments.
    · Validate these tools and approach with relevant DFID staff and key implementing partner staff, revise as required. · Design and conduct a TOT on Health verification tools and protocols for TPM team members (i.e. Senior Monitors).
    4. Expected outputs and deliverables
    · One or more Health-specific verification tools and accompanying implementation and analysis protocols
    · A training design and materials on these tools and protocols · A completed TOT on the implementation of these verification tools and insights into potential findings from data analysis
    5. Reporting
    Although the Health Expert will work closely with the TPM Lead and his team, the Expert’s LOE and deliverables will be managed and quality assured by the LAMPS Team Lead.
    6. Estimated days
    Between now and 30 April 2017
    Approximately 20-22 days of Level of Effort (LOE)
