Monitoring and Evaluation Officer – ADEA – Education and Skills Data Project Full Time

ADEA

The Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA) is the voice of education in Africa and has played an important role in the educational arena for 30 years as a convenor, knowledge creator and forum for policy dialogue. Since its creation, ADEA has acted as a partner between African ministries of education and training and development partners. As a forum for policy dialogue, ADEA promotes innovative policies and practices by sharing and disseminating ideas, experiences, learning and knowledge among countries and stakeholders.

The Education and Skills Data Project

Africa is facing an education and skills data crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the situation. Due to the ongoing challenge of lacking quality education and skills data for informed decision-making, insufficient data continues to undermine the ability of African countries to make demand-driven policy decisions on education and skills. Through this project, ADEA seeks to support up to 30 African countries over a five-year period to produce and use the quality data on education and skills for informed decision-making through policy, planning, program implementation, monitoring and evaluation.

Summary of mandate

ADEA is looking for an experienced monitoring and evaluation professional to set up and manage the Project’s monitoring, evaluation, research and learning system (MERL). The Monitoring and Evaluation Officer will contribute to the project planning, implementation, monitoring, evaluation, and reporting of results, to improve the performance in education and skills data governance. He or she will also be requested to use his or her expertise and experience to reinforce Ministry of Education stakeholders’ capacity in monitoring and evaluation in a perspective of data governance and use. This position reports to the Project Manager.
