Monitoring, Learning and Reporting / Monitoring and Evaluation Officer
Organizational Context
UNICEF works in over 190 countries and territories to save children’s lives, defend their rights, and help them fulfill their potential. At UNICEF, we are committed, passionate, and proud of what we do for as long as we are needed. Promoting the rights of every child is not just a job – it is a calling.
Job Purpose
The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does — in programmes, advocacy and operations. The equity strategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment into action. For UNICEF, equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential without discrimination, bias or favoritism. The Monitoring, Learning and Reporting / M&E Officer reports to the WASH Climate Specialist, P3, who serves as the CRDM-CAR Project Lead under the overall guidance of the Chief WASH-Climate, P4. The P2 Evaluation Officer provides professional support to project-level information and data collection, indicator tracking, statistics and data analysis, monitoring, evaluation, reporting, learning, communication and partnership.
Responsibilities
The position supports the P3 Project Lead to implement the CRDM-CAR M&E Plan, maintain data quality and evidence systems, prepare timely reports to UNICEF, GCF and government counterparts, and strengthen the capacity of project staff and partners in monitoring, evaluation, and reporting. This includes developing and refining data collection tools, conducting regular field monitoring visits, analyzing data to identify trends and challenges, and contributing to the development of project reports and communication materials. The officer will also be responsible for ensuring that all monitoring and evaluation activities are aligned with UNICEF’s global standards and guidelines, and that lessons learned are systematically captured and disseminated to inform future programming. The role requires close collaboration with various stakeholders, including government ministries, local partners, and community representatives, to ensure effective data collection and utilization for evidence-based decision-making.
Work Experience
A minimum of two years of professional experience in monitoring and evaluation, programme management, or a related field is required. Experience in WASH or climate resilience projects is an asset.
