M&E consultancy

The M&E Expert will help develop and roll out a structure for launching a comprehensive M&E system along with data protection measures.  The consultant will start with inventorying and analyzing the existing policies and procedures related to its M&E. The experts will guide the teams on how to build a robust M&E system, with a focus on data protection and management so that by the end of the project all the tools and guidelines developed will be grasped and implementable by the association. The first month will be dedicated to analyzing the existing policies and procedures, assessing the gaps and any flaws in M&E processes, and how it is practiced. Following this exercise, the next month will be dedicated to developing a ready-to-use M&E handbook that represents a key reference for the organization; one that includes the necessary principles and definitions of M&E, and specifically, how to maintain proper data protection so that teams manage information in an ethical and confidential manner. The handbook will be a practical guide that is relevant to ISWA sectors, tailored to the overall approach and programs of the association, and sustainable for future reference.
