UNICEF Evaluation Specialist Jobs in Kenya
UNICEF Evaluation Specialist Jobs in Kenya
UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.
Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.
Responsibilities
Conceptualize and design evaluations that are managed by ESARO, including CPEs, regional or multi-country evaluations. This includes liaising closely with key evaluation ‘owners’ from the outset, including country offices (for CPEs) or programme sections (for programmatic or cross-sectoral evaluations).
Set up Evaluation Reference Groups (ERG) upon the launch of evaluations, and manage and chair the ERGs throughout the evaluation processes. Ensure that all comments on evaluation terms of reference, inception reports and draft reports are recorded and responded to by the evaluation team, and available to all participants through an evaluation audit trail.
Finalize terms of reference, in collaboration with key evaluation stakeholders, and manage the advertisement of requests for proposals as well as the selection and recruitment of evaluation teams. Work with the respective programme sections in preparing a dissemination and engagement plan around evaluation findings and recommendations.
Manage all phases of the evaluation process, including the inception, data collection and finalization phases, facilitating – in coordination with programmatic evaluation focal points – appointments, meetings and other logistical arrangements. Organize review workshops, including on emerging findings and recommendations.
Review all evaluation products throughout the evaluation process, solicit external quality reviews through the ESARO quality review facility, and bring any issues of concern to the attention of the Regional Evaluation Adviser.
Facilitate the Management Response process, and support programme sections in operationalizing their dissemination and engagement plans. Monitor the
implementation of Management Responses.
Requirements
An Advanced university degree in social sciences, statistics, international development or development economics.
A minimum of eight years of professional work experience in development programming – including planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation.
Demonstrated experience in designing, managing and quality assuring evaluations is indispensable.
Thorough understanding of results-based management (RBM) theory and practice is essential.
Familiarity with the range of development issues addressed by UNICEF in the Eastern and Southern Africa region is necessary. Prior work experience in the region is a distinct advantage.
Experience in providing technical support to development stakeholders at different levels – including government, civil society, as well as UN and other partners – on evaluation-related issues, including national evaluation capacity development, would be a plus.
Experience in working with multiple stakeholders is an asset.
Developing country work experience and/or familiarity with emergency is considered an asset.
Excellent written and oral command of the English language is crucial. Knowledge of other official languages used across the Eastern and Southern Africa region, including French and Portuguese, would be an asset.
