Sudan: Accountability, Monitoring, and Evaluation Advisor

World Vision is a humanitarian, development, and advocacy organisation devoted to improving the lives of children, families and their communities around the world. Founded 65 years ago and now working in over 90 countries, World Vision implements disaster preparedness programmes and helps build resilient communities. Our Humanitarian and Emergency Affairs team acts to save lives and alleviate suffering of disaster-affected people by implementing sustainable programmes focused on meeting immediate and long-term needs.

Here’s where you come in:

World Vision Sudan (WVS) delivers programmes sponsored by diverse institutional and non-institutional donors. Tracking / monitoring performance of these programmes is critical to ensuring successful delivery. Such performance monitoring entails review of milestones and tracking of activities and outputs against workplans and budgeted resources. To measure the impact and contribution of World Vision in Sudan, programme specific evaluations and longitudinal studies are undertaken against pre-defined indicators and frameworks. Separately, WVS is accountable to donors, Support Offices (SOs), the Sudanese Government and the communities WVS serves. To fulfil this function, WVS implements mechanisms to enhance accountability at the community level (community feedback mechanisms); at the State and Federal government levels (government reporting); at the UN and inter-agency levels (cluster coordination mechanisms); and, at SOs and donor levels (grant reporting, monitoring and reporting against World Vision’s global objectives).

As Accountability, Monitoring, and Evaluation Advisor, you will pull all the above aspects together by liaising with internal and external stakeholders to ensure effective monitoring of WVS programmes. Such monitoring should be predictive and should proactively seek to identify and work with other stakeholders to resolve performance challenges. Through longitudinal studies, you are expected to work with Sector Advisors to define a set of indicators for annual tracking to determine WVS’ contribution in each sector and in each locality / community. You be will directly responsible for programme specific impact evaluation as outlined in each grant contract. Lastly, you will be expected to coordinate accountability initiatives and reporting to all our stakeholders as specified above.

You will act as the focal point for World Vision’s AME systems ensuring timely adherence and compliance to WVI policies, guidelines and AME systems’ requirements
