Interpeace, an international- organisation, works in close partnership with national partner organizations and the UN, with the aim of building lasting peace. Interpeace has a two-fold mandate: (i) to strengthen the capacities of societies to manage conflict in non-violent, non-coercive ways by assisting national actors in their efforts to develop social and political cohesion; and (ii) to assist the international community (and in particular the United Nations) to play a more effective role in supporting peacebuilding efforts around the world through better understanding and response to the challenges of creating local capacities that enhance social and political cohesion.

Headquartered in Geneva, Interpeace is supported by bilateral and multilateral donors as well as private funding. The organization is currently active in Africa, Central America, Europe, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. The Regional Office for West Africa is based in Abidjan, C te d Ivoire and coordinates the work of on-going programmes in C te d Ivoire, Guinea-Bissau and Mali/ Sahel.

General Position Summary

The Monitoring & Evaluation and Learning Lead (MEL) for West Africa is a member of the Programme Team in the Regional Office for West Africa. In this context, the MEL will collaborate directly with the Regional Director and the Programme Teams for C te d Ivoire, Mali/Sahel and Guinea-Bissau. S/he will report to the Regional Director who will provide overall guidance for the work. Overall, a strong collaborative and horizontal approach to programme delivery and reporting will be maintained.

The MEL will be responsible for leading the processes of design, monitoring and evaluation as well as learning for the Regional office, including the country programmes in Mali/ Sahel, C te d Ivoire and Guinea-Bissau as agreed by both Interpeace and its respective local partner. The MEL should be the key resource person for Programme Teams in terms of design, monitoring and evaluation as well as learning.

At the same time the MEL is the regional focal point of Interpeace s global Learning and Policy Unit and forms part of the Global Learning and Policy Team, under the guidance of the Head of Policy and Learning based in Geneva. There therefore is a dual accountability: with a direct line responsibility to the Regional Director; and a substantive integration into the Global Learning Team with active and regular support from the Head of Policy and Learning. The MEL has a primary responsibility for facilitating cross-institutional sharing, exchange and learning, weaving between units and across regions, and supporting implementation of the various priorities, activities and thematic areas of the Policy and Learning Unit.

Primary Duties and Responsibilities

Design, Monitoring and Evaluation

Lead and manage design, monitoring and evaluation processes to ensure that programmes adhere to global M&E standards while adapting them to capacities and realities of each programme team as well as strategic thinking between Interpeace and partners.

• Lead the reflection about and innovation of monitoring and evaluation systems and tools
• Lead the development and roll-out of monitoring and evaluation systems and tools on the regional, country or project level, which includes design and facilitation of workshops for the development of M&E systems and tools for specific projects

• Work closely with other colleagues across the organization supporting their programme design with experience from the Regional office for West Africa

Learning

Lead processes to enhance learning among Interpeace s regional office staff and partners to ensure application of up-to-date best practices, to facilitate connection with other peacebuilding practitioners within and beyond Interpeace, and to promote innovation in programme processes and tools. Tasks include:

• Develop strategies for documenting and disseminating lessons learned, success stories and methodological innovations within Interpeace
• Develop and update internal documents which allow to capture lessons learned and ensure the transfer of savoir-faire among colleagues and between programmes
• Organize and facilitate regular reflective workshops and exercises within the regional team and/or programme partners on peacebuilding practices
• Contribute to advancing the Interpeace approach by sharing lessons learned, best practices and innovations with Interpeace colleagues beyond West Africa
