Chemonics seeks a monitoring and evaluation specialist for the anticipated West Africa Biodiversity and Climate Change (WA-BiCC) Activity, a five-year, $50 million project aiming to improve conservation and climate-resilient, low emission growth across West Africa. WA-BiCC is part of USAID's wider efforts to coordinate closely with regional West African Partners, such as ECOWAS, to advance broad-based economic growth and resilience in the region. Most activities will be in targeted geographical areas, such as the coastal zone and the inland forests, to improve governance and policy over critical natural and human systems, while others will be at broader policy/institution levels. We are looking for individuals who have a passion for making a difference in the lives of people around the world.
Qualifications:
- A minimum of a master's degree in a relevant discipline or a bachelor's degree in a relevant field with an additional three years of experience
- Minimum four years of experience in monitoring and evaluating large programs; previous West Africa experience preferred
- Demonstrated experience in conducting baseline, impact, and other evaluations, as well as undertaking gender analyses
- Demonstrated knowledge of tracking program implementation against a monitoring and evaluation plan
- At least three years of experience effectively communicating program results to a wide variety of stakeholders
