What you will do: 

MEL System Design and Implementation (40%):

Develop and maintain a comprehensive MEL framework aligned with project indicators and targets, including: GHG emissions reductions, green jobs disaggregated by gender, public and private climate finance mobilized, energy cost savings, policy and market transformation outcomes

Specifically, lead the development and refinement of a GHG-focused MEL framework, aligned with IPCC guidelines, GHG Protocol, and relevant donor requirements

Establish and update robust methodologies to track direct and indirect emissions reductions

Develop and implement MEL plans that ensure data integrity, timeliness, and alignment with donor requirements

Lead the development of primary data collection tools (e.g., surveys, interview guides) and support implementation through training, mentoring partners, and developing sampling strategies

Monitoring and Performance Management (30%):

Regularly track progress against outputs, outcomes, and impact indicators

Lead or support primary data collection, cleaning, analysis, and interpretation

Guide project staff in reviewing monitoring results and identifying interventions to improve impact delivery

Ensure consistent data collection protocols among project partners and provide MEL training where needed

Coordinate with external evaluation consultants during midterm or final evaluations

Reporting, Communication, and Learning (20%):

Prepare quarterly and annual MEL reports for internal and donor reporting

Lead the drafting, reporting and verification of direct and indirect GHG emissions reductions for incorporation in reports

Draft MEL sections for annual, semi annual funder reports and respond to MEL-related data requests

Align GHG reporting with other key MEL indicators, including green jobs created, and climate finance mobilized

Translate complex findings into clear, actionable insights and messages for diverse stakeholders

Document and share lessons learned, case studies, and success stories to support project learning and scaling

Institutional MEL Support (10%):

Support collaboration with the Global Managing for Results (MfR) team to enhance MEL practices across the organization

Participate in the internal MEL Community of Practice

Keep the Project Manager informed of MEL status and emerging data or reporting issues.
