## **Job** description

The Basel Institute, together with partner organisations, is implementing Norway’s International Climate and Forest Initiative (NICFI) project. We seek to recruit a Specialist, Monitoring and Evaluation to lead the establishment, tracking and management of measurable achievements towards NICFI project targets. The M&E Specialist also supports the project’s communication and outreach efforts, transforming the collected achievements into accessible and compelling stories. In the event of project slippage against monitoring and evaluation targets, the M&E Specialist will offer early warnings to trigger adjustments of the project’s plan.

## **Key responsibilities**

- Establish a comprehensive M&E system that streamlines data collection, monitoring and reporting processes among different implementers of the project in project countries (Peru, Indonesia and global-based activities).
- Ensure that the M&E plans of all project implementers are in line with NICFI’s overall Strategic Framework and MEL guidance, and contribute the necessary data.
- Review and verify grantee and subcontract milestone deliverables for claims of achievement, and log supporting evidence into the Basel Institute on Governance system.
- Manage the M&E evidence files (hard and soft copy) and corresponding logbook, in order to organise and maintain effective and consistent data flow.
- Utilise M&E data to produce initial basic analyses (trends, graphs, anomalous results, etc.) as requested by the Basel Institute on Governance, NORAD or (if applicable) the Norwegian Embassy to Indonesia and Peru.
- Provide quarterly M&E narrative reports, results tables and graphics for review by the project lead and the project team in a timely, technically valid and high-quality manner.
- Suggest additional useful analyses and carry out research or supervise a short-term Technical Advisor as assigned.
- Support the conduct of periodic data quality reviews upon request.
- As needed, propose updates to the Monitoring, Evaluation and Knowledge Plan, including the performance indicators at least two months before the start of every project year.
- Manage the repository of tools, guidelines and reference documents for M&E and other materials.
- Provide training to project staff and/or grantees on M&E, performance indicators and how to collect the needed data. Follow up to ensure that technical staff submit the required data for all performance indicators in a manner that is technically correct, accurately reflects field realities and meets quality standards.
- As needed, produce case studies, success stories and/or change stories on focused areas of the project’s intervention to document key lessons learned or successful approaches to challenging situations.

## Qualifications and skills

- University graduate in communications, project management, business, development studies or equivalent field
- Minimum of 10 years’ experience in the field of monitoring, evaluation and learning
- Demonstrated knowledge of the M&E indicators, approaches and requirements of the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD), with at least three years’ experience managing M&E systems for NORAD programmes, would be an asset.
- Experience with project communications, including success stories and quarterly reports
- Languages: Excellent spoken and written English
- Strong analytical skills, with a demonstrated ability to tackle complex issues
- Strong interpersonal skills and an ability to work as part of a team
- Ability to strictly adhere to deadlines
