Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist (Strategic)

World Food Programme (WFP)

The Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist will design and implement robust M&E systems to measure program effectiveness and guide strategic decisions. Responsibilities include developing indicators, conducting evaluations, data analysis, and reporting. Requirements: Advanced degree in M&E, statistics, or related field; 6+ years of experience in M&E in humanitarian settings; proficiency in data analysis software (e.g., SPSS, STATA); strong report-writing and stakeholder engagement skills.
### Strategic Analysis The Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist role at WFP is not just about tracking metrics; it is the backbone of evidence-based decision-making in humanitarian operations. In a sector where resources are scarce and lives are at stake, robust M&E systems ensure that interventions are effective, efficient, and accountable. This role directly influences strategic pivots by providing real-time data on program performance, enabling WFP to adapt to dynamic crises like food insecurity and climate shocks. By designing indicators and conducting rigorous evaluations, the specialist ensures that every dollar spent maximizes impact, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 2: Zero Hunger) and the humanitarian principles of neutrality and impartiality. Moreover, in an era of increased scrutiny from donors and stakeholders, transparent reporting and data-driven narratives are critical for maintaining trust and securing funding. This position bridges the gap between field operations and strategic leadership, translating raw data into actionable insights that guide resource allocation, policy advocacy, and long-term resilience building. In a world facing complex emergencies, this role is the compass that navigates humanitarian action toward measurable, sustainable outcomes.
