Seattle, Washington, United States
Third-Party Monitoring Specialist, Ukraine USAID Monitoring and Learning Support (UMLS) project
Job Description
JOB SUMMARY: |
NORC at the University of Chicago is seeking a Third-Party Monitoring Specialist to support the full range of external monitoring activities, including coordinating site visit planning to USAID-funded operations; hiring and overseeing external data collection vendors; maintaining files and a knowledge management system; and conducting quality assurance checks on vendor datasets. We are looking for someone who is detail-oriented, highly organized, and an effective communicator to coordinate implementation of external monitoring activities. This individual will serve as the primary point of contact for the TPM vendor(s) and USAIDs implementing partners for TPM activities on the UMLS project. The Ukraine Monitoring and Learning Support (UMLS) project assists the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) regional mission for Ukraine and Belarus (USAID/Ukraine) in addressing its overall monitoring and collaborating, learning, and adapting (CLA) needs. A key feature of UMLS is a robust, dynamic, and systems-driven focus on MEL. As part of its approach, UMLS is strengthening "Third-Party Monitoring (TPM)," to monitor the activities and outputs of USAID implementing partners and further support the accountability of USAID/Ukraine operations. TPM involves conducting monitoring by a third party, that is, neither the donor nor the implementer of an intervention. Through providing strong external monitoring support, UMLS will help USAID further advance evidence-based decision-making, learning, knowledge transfer and strategic communications. The position is based at the UMLS office in Kyiv, Ukraine. The Third-Party Monitoring Specialist will be expected to travel throughout Ukraine as needed. Ukrainian citizens are highly encouraged to apply. |
