Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) Specialist, NOC

The Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Specialist position is located in the UNFPA Country Office (CO) in Addis Ababa. Under the direct supervision of the SIARP 2.0 Programme Coordinator and in close collaboration with the assigned Focal Persons from the RUNOs involved in the Programme, the Specialist is responsible for ensuring quality and timely M&E and reporting activities, training and capacity development, and knowledge sharing with all stakeholders of the joint program. Violence against women and girls is a global human rights violation. The 2030 Agenda and Agenda 2063 prioritize gender equality and eliminating this violence. The Spotlight Initiative, funded by the EU, combats this issue. SIARP 1.0 strengthened legal frameworks, supported reforms, and empowered civil society. SIARP 2.0 builds on this, aiming to address violence and improve sexual and reproductive health outcomes. It utilizes a rights-based approach, targeting root causes and promoting systemic change. The program focuses on legal reforms, prevention, service delivery, and empowering women's rights organizations, hence, a Monitoring and Evaluation Officer is needed to guide its implementation.

UNFPA is the lead UN agency for delivering a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person's potential is fulfilled. UNFPA's new strategic plan (2022-2025), focuses on three transformative results: to end preventable maternal deaths; end unmet need for family planning; end gender-based violence and harmful practices including ESA regional priority: to prevent Sexual Transmission of HIV.
