​

MEAL System Strategy and Leadership

• Develop, finalize, and implement the project’s comprehensive MEAL and Collaborating, Learning, and Adapting (CLA) framework and plan.
• Provide technical leadership to define project indicators, targets, and monitoring tools, culminating in a finalized Program Monitoring Plan (PMP).

Data Systems Management and Quality Assurance

• Design, oversee, and maintain robust, interoperable systems for data collection, storage, quality assurance, advanced analysis, and dynamic visualization.
• Ensure seamless integration of project digital systems (e.g., data warehouse) with national platforms (DHIS2, mTRAC, eLIMS, EMR).
• Conduct data verification and cleaning exercises, quality assessments, and produce reports with actionable recommendations and progress on improving RMNCAH&N data quality and use in supported facilities and districts.

Data Analysis, Reporting, and Knowledge Management

• Lead sophisticated data analysis to evaluate program performance, cost-effectiveness, and impact, delivering actionable insights to the Senior Management Team.
• Establish a knowledge management system and produce at least six high-quality knowledge products (e.g., manuscripts, case studies, learning briefs, etc.) documenting best practices and lessons learned.
• Ensure the timely production and submission of high-quality narrative and data reports for donors, government, and internal leadership.

Capacity Building and Technical Assistance

• Conduct a capacity assessment of BAMA and partner staff and develop a tailored capacity-building plan.
• Design and deliver targeted MEAL training workshops for BAMA staff and government counterparts, focusing on data analytics, presentation, and use for decision-making.
• Provide direct technical assistance to the Ministry of Health and districts to enhance data collection, analysis, interpretation, and use for decision-making.
• Train and mentor the project team on MEAL tools, processes, and adaptive management principles.

Learning, Research, and Collaboration

• Facilitate regular CLA cycles and processes (e.g., after-action reviews, pause-and-reflect sessions) to embed learning into program implementation.
• Design the project’s learning agenda and oversee at least two operational research studies from protocol development to final report.
• Collaborate closely with technical leads to ensure MEAL is integrated into all stages of program design, budgeting, and implementation.
