Under the general supervision of the Programme Director, in collaboration with the Programme Coordinator and with the support of all FAS staff, the M&E Officer is responsible for monitoring and evaluating FAS’ programmes, its activities and office functions and also helping to develop its organizational capacity. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION In August 2010, FAS reviewed its monitoring and evaluation system in order to identify ways of improving it and further adapted it to a result based management (RBM). The process helped formalize and strengthen good practices that FAS has been using since its creation in 1996. Additionally, it has allowed for a new component such as the development of templates so as to facilitate FAS staff’s project management and reporting. Programme planning, monitoring and evaluation as well as reporting come together as RBM. RBM aims at importing management effectiveness and accountability by defining realistic expected results, monitoring progress toward their achievement and integrating lessons learned into managing decision and reporting on performance. RBM has been adopted by many multilateral development organizations, bilateral development and public administrations throughout the world. As such, the hired M&E officer will essentially focus on planning, monitoring and evaluating to assess efficient, effective and impactful policies and actions for FAS. GENERAL OBJECTIVES The M&E Officer will conduct the M&E of FAS programmes. By providing indicators guidelines, monitoring mechanisms and evaluation tools, he/she will ensure the reporting schemes to the donors requirements and for knowledge sharing. In addition, he/ she will assess long-term indicators to FAS programme aspects at the policy level as well as grassroots and will aim to organize the Monitoring and Evaluation system within FAS by liaising with the FAS regional office, the New York representatives, the Geneva Task Force and affiliate organisations, to assess outcomes and to receive inputs on Monitoring and Evaluation. Additionally, the M&E Officer will help follow-up the evaluation study of FAS activities over the past ten years and focus on extracting results from past and current projects.
