APHRC Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Specialist Jobs in Nairobi, Kenya

The African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC) is an international non-profit, non-governmental organization committed to conducting high quality and policy-relevant research on population, health, education, urbanization and broader development issues facing sub-Saharan Africa.

APHRC is implementing an innovative four-year project on “Challenging the Politics of Social Exclusion (CPSE)”, in which the Center acts as a key knowledge partner to the constellation of policy actors engaged in advancing the realization of regional commitments, made by the African States, to enhance the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of their populations.

To this end, CPSE will

Support the generation, synthesis and translation of relevant evidence at regional and sub-regional levels in Eastern, Southern and Western Africa as well as in seven focal countries (Burkina Faso, Kenya, Liberia, Malawi, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, and Zambia); and

Therefore, APHRC seeks a Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) Specialist who will be responsible for establishing and implementing an effective MEL system for the project, based, explicitly, on an outcome harvesting (OH) approach.
