Description

CARE is seeking an experienced Girls’ Education Monitoring and Knowledge (M&K) Manager to provide dedicated technical support to the DFID-funded project ‘Kobcinta Waxbarashada Gabdhaha’ or Somali Girls Education Promotion Programme (SOMGEP) under CARE Somalia’s Rural Vulnerable Women Program. The project aims at facilitating social change amongst rural communities in order to encourage girls’ enrollment and retention in education, working closely with communities, religious leaders, community education committees and civil society.
The M&K manager is responsible for the coordination of baseline, midterm and final evaluations, establishment and maintenance of the project MIS, regular collection and analysis of project data from CARE, ADRA and nine LNGO partners that demonstrate intended results are being achieved, and the measurement of changes in learning and leverage to sustain the project. S/he will work closely with the Education Ministries of Somaliland and Puntland.  The incumbent will be responsible for implementing and managing an effective and comprehensive Education Management Information System (EMIS) that gathers data at both district and regional levels.  The position will also train and support partners and community education councils (CECs) to collect and verify data and conduct community-led impact evaluations, in coordination with the Program Quality Unit.  To meet rigorous donor requirements and payment-by-results criteria, the M&K manager will need to put in place systems and processes that ensure the accuracy and completeness of data required to measure achievement of results.

 Given that this project contributes to wider work ongoing under the Education Sector Development Programme (ESDP 2), the post holder will also liaise with advisors supporting this work in other geographical areas.
