Key Duties and Responsibilities:

• MEAL planning and systems
• Develop and maintain a practical MEAL plan, indicator tracking framework, reporting calendar and data-flow arrangements aligned with the approved project results framework and partner requirements.
• Translate project indicators and reporting definitions into clear tools, guidance and procedures for staff, trainers and downstream partners.
• Maintain current participant, activity, output, outcome and partner-performance records, with appropriate disaggregation by sex, age, location, disability and other agreed inclusion categories.
• Data collection quality and management
• Design, adapt and administer registration, attendance, pre- and post-assessment, tracer, feedback, referral, enterprise-readiness and outcome-monitoring tools.
• Verify completeness, consistency and accuracy of data received from implementation teams and partners; document discrepancies and coordinate timely correction.

• Manage secure physical and digital filing systems in accordance with data-protection, confidentiality, consent and participant-safeguarding requirements.
• Performance monitoring and reporting
• Track progress against approved targets, workplans, deliverables and inclusion commitments, and promptly escalate delays, gaps or emerging risks to the Project Manager.
• Prepare accurate weekly, monthly, quarterly, annual and ad hoc MEAL inputs, dashboards and analytical summaries within agreed timelines.
• Support reconciliation of participant records across Steadman, downstream partners and the lead partner’s reporting systems, avoiding duplication and unsupported claims.
• Provide evidence and analysis for management reviews, partner meetings, audits, evaluations and donor verification exercises.
• Accountability, safeguarding and inclusion
• Establish accessible and confidential channels through which participants and stakeholders can provide feedback, raise concerns and receive responses.
• Maintain a feedback and complaints register, refer safeguarding matters through approved pathways, and monitor closure without investigating cases outside the role’s mandate.
• Ensure that data-collection processes are safe, voluntary, inclusive and appropriate for young people, women, persons with disabilities, refugees and other vulnerable groups.
• Apply informed-consent and responsible-storytelling standards when collecting photographs, videos, testimonials and success stories.
• Learning evaluation and adaptive management
• Coordinate baseline, endline, outcome, tracer and satisfaction studies, including sampling, fieldwork oversight, analysis and reporting.
• Facilitate periodic reflection and learning sessions with the project team and partners, documenting lessons, agreed actions and follow-up responsibilities.
• Identify trends, bottlenecks and effective practices and provide evidence-based recommendations to improve delivery quality, participant transitions and results.
• Develop and validate outcome stories and case studies that demonstrate credible change from creative skills and ideas to employment, freelancing, enterprise growth and market access.
• Capacity strengthening and coordination
• Train and coach staff, trainers and partner focal persons on tools, indicator definitions, data quality, ethical data collection and reporting requirements.
• Coordinate closely with the Project Manager and relevant Bayimba and consortium MEAL personnel to harmonise tools, schedules, datasets and reporting expectations.
• Participate in relevant project meetings and undertake other reasonable MEAL-related duties assigned by the Project Manager.

• At least five years of progressively responsible experience in monitoring, evaluation, accountability, learning, research or programme data management.

• Demonstrated experience supporting youth employment, enterprise development, creative industries, vocational skills, livelihoods, financial inclusion, digital inclusion or business development programmes.
• Experience working with implementing partners, community-based delivery teams, trainers or service providers and consolidating data from multiple sources and locations.
• Demonstrated experience developing MEAL plans, indicator frameworks, data-collection tools, databases, dashboards and narrative reports.
