Accurate, rich data drives the quality of our work, and enables us to continuously improve our program implementation and advocate for systemic, large-scale reforms.

To deepen the use of our data for learning, we are searching for two strategic and forward-thinking Global Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Officers who will ensure that our M&E systems are optimized for programmatic excellence and organizational learning.

• Supporting M&E staff in generating quarterly data dashboards, based on what’s most relevant or useful to programs

Communicating data: supporting Namati programs in effectively communicating our data and impact to a variety of audiences, including program staff, partner organizations and paralegals, donors, policymakers, and impacted communities. Examples include:
• Supporting M&E and program staff to identify key messages based on findings from data analysis
• Building the capacity of M&E and program staff to use data to tell effective stories for specific audiences
• Supporting M&E staff in visualizing data in a variety of formats using best practices
