Job Title: Monitoring and Evaluation, Kenya
Closing Date: Wednesday, 04 April 2012
MONITORING AND EVALUATION CAPACITY BUILDING EXPERT (SHORT TERM)
Background
The Non State Actors Support Programme (NSA-NET) is a democratic governance programme implemented by the Ministry of Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs (MoJNCCA) with financing from the 9th European Development Fund of the European Union. The Programme aims to strengthen mechanisms, networks and capacity for deepening and broadening of Non State Actors (including cultural actors) involvement in development processes.
As a part of the NSA–NET Technical Assistance, an organizational capacity assessment (OCA) was conducted with all the 12 NSAs and their 22 partners. The aim of the OCA was to identify capacity gaps and strengths among the NSAs and their partners, aimed at leveraging on their strengths and seeking innovative ways to address the capacity gaps during the implementation of the NSA – NET Programme. Among the capacity gaps identified during the OCA, was weak monitoring and evaluation capacitities among some NSAs and their partner organizations. The Programme has been addressing the capacity gaps via direct coaching by the Programme's Monitoring and Evaluation Manager.
To further enhance the capacities of NSAs in monitoring and evaluation, the Programme is seeking to engage the services of a Monitoring and Evaluation Expert to work with the NSA grantees and their partners in addressing the M&E gaps, as identified in the OCA report and during subsequent interaction between the NSAs and the Programme team.
