JOB SUMMARY:
CARE developed a scale-up strategy for its flagship approach – Village Savings and Loans Association (VSLAs) in 2018 and recently reviewed it based on the lessons learnt from the 4 years of its implementation. The strategy goal is to ensure that 50 million women and girls (62 million people) are economically and socially empowered through savings groups by 2030, reducing poverty and increasing gender equality. Due to their effectiveness and versatility, VSLAs are increasingly being promoted as part of multi-component projects, in combination with other interventions such as health services, food and nutrition security, local value chain development, ecosystem services, agricultural training, advocacy campaigns, gender and social norms dialogues, and access to formal financial services. The use of VSLAs for different purpose or with different impact groups often significantly expands their initially established purpose and outcomes.
The role of Technical Advisor for MEL will provide intensive support to specific VSLA projects, ensuring the high quality and rigor of MEAL systems, and thus contributing to effective measurement, knowledge management and learning as well as donor reporting. This will involve among other things, ensuring appropriate quality measurement and monitoring of indicators – both internal to CARE and externally – keeping track of changes in donor M&E and reporting requirements, procedures, systems, indicators, and methodologies. The position will also advise on the use of M&E data for evidence-based learning to enhance the quality of VSLA programs and help aggregate key program lessons at a global level for use by the Global VSLA team.
The TA for MEL will support the MEL Director to establish protocols for M&E methods and coordination of knowledge management activities with M&E. This TA position will be budgeted to various projects and provide quality control and technical backstopping as assigned. The TA for MEL will also participate in the MEL Communities of Practice and ensure that lessons learned from CARE are shared and that best practices inform VSLA M&E standards.
