    Design and apply a robust M&E framework for tracking key performance indicators (KPIs), usage statistics, and user experience.
    Identify and establish data collection systems, tools, and methodologies to measure platform performance, including user engagement, retention, and other relevant metrics.
    Prepare regular reports, dashboards, and presentations on platform performance, including user adoption, growth, and impact.
    Share M&E findings with key stakeholders, including senior management, partners, and external donors or funders, in a clear, actionable manner.
    Lead the development of reports for external audiences (such as donors, government bodies, or regulatory agencies) as needed.
    Ensure M&E activities comply with ethical standards, data privacy regulations, and internal policies.
    Regularly review and update data management processes to ensure accuracy, integrity, and security of data.

    Qualifications: 

    A degree in Monitoring and Evaluation, Public Health, Social Sciences, Business Administration, or a related field.
    Minimum of 5 years of professional experience in M&E, preferably with experience in a digital platform, technology, or service delivery context.
    Proficiency in data analysis tools (e.g., Excel, SPSS, R, or similar).
    Experience with M&E software (e.g. PowerBI).
    Familiarity with database management and visualization tools.
    Strong ability to analyze complex data, interpret results, and present findings clearly to diverse audiences.
    Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present complex data in an easily understandable format.
