Habitat for Humanity Regional MEAL Training Consultant Jobs in Kenya

Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI) is an INGO, founded in 1976, devoted to building simple, decent, and affordable housing.

HFHI operates through a federated network of independent National Organizations and branches as well as partnerships in more than 70 countries around the world. HFHI hosts its international headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. HFHI has subdivided its global operation into four regions: Asia and the Pacific (supported from Manila); Europe and the Middle East (supported from Bratislava); Africa (supported from Nairobi), and Latin America and the Caribbean (supported from San Jose).

In Africa, HFHI works across 9 countries to support people to thrive through housing. The Africa region was launch as a separate region in the past year. The area office out of Nairobi is striving to deliver housing more effectively throughout the locations we work in.

Purpose

The area office plays a critical role in supporting capacity throughout the region. One of the areas that support is provided for is monitoring, evaluation, accountability, and learning (MEAL). The majority of our 9 country locations have a dedicated MEAL staff member who supports the MEAL intervention for all of the ongoing projects and proposals being implemented by the office.

A few countries do not have a dedicated MEAL person but typically have someone covering this responsibility on an ongoing basis. From the area office, two staff – a MEAL Senior Specialist and Program Effectiveness Manager provide support through regular meetings, tools and systems, reviews, and country visits for capacity building.

The goal of this consultancy is to provide ongoing support the capacity building the area office is providing to the region in the form of a one-week MEAL training with all of the regional MEAL points of contact. Upon completion of the training, participants will develop a clearer understanding of MEAL and an ability to apply appropriate approaches and tools of MEAL, and more specifically, they will know how to:
