Support the Consortium Manager in preparing annual reports and other performance evaluations to inform the donor and other stakeholders of project progress and results and facilitate reflection and learning sessions to understand what has worked well and what could be improved.

Ensure that M&E results are integrated into project decision-making and planning processes and support the consortium members in applying lessons learned to improve future project implementation.

Provide technical assistance and support to consortium members in the consistent and coherent design, implementation and evaluation of their activities.

Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications, including Word, Excel, Outlook, Access, PowerPoint and Teams

Important note:

The position will be based in one of CARE’s country offices in Mozambique, Zambia or Zimbabwe. You will receive a national employment contract and must therefore have already the right to reside and work in one of the three countries. Please confirm this in your cover letter.

Accountability within CARE:

A commitment to CARE values and CARE’s integrity framework is essential to working with CARE. Any candidate offered a job with CARE will be expected to adhere to the following key areas of accountability:

Comply with CARE’s policies and procedures relating to safeguarding, code of conduct, health and safety, confidentiality, do no harm principles and unacceptable behaviour protocols.

Report any concerns about the welfare of a child or vulnerable adult or any wrongdoing within our programming area.

Report any concerns about inappropriate behaviour by a CARE staff or partner.

Safeguarding:

Children and vulnerable adults who come into contact with CARE as a result of our activities must be safeguarded to the maximum possible extent from deliberate or inadvertent actions and failings that place them at risk of abuse, sexual exploitation, injury or other harm. One of the ways in which CARE demonstrates this ongoing commitment to safeguarding is by incorporating rigorous background and reference checks into the selection process for all candidates.

Gender equality:

CARE is committed to meeting the standards of the CARE International Gender Policy (2019). Through this policy, CARE seeks to promote the equal realisation of dignity and human rights of girls, women, boys and men in all their diversity, and the elimination of poverty and injustice. Specifically, this policy aims to improve the explicit incorporation of gender into programmatic and organisational practices.
