Job Summary
Action Against Hunger seeks a MEL Project Lead for the recently awarded community-led adolescent health and nutrition program funded by the World Bank GFF x CIVIC Platform.
Position Duration: This is a grant-funded, fixed-term position expected to continue through June 2028.
The GFF x CIVIC Platform is a partnership between the Global Financing Facility (GFF) and the World Bank’s CIVIC: The Civil Society and Social Innovation Alliance. This partnership has been formed to further strengthen the role of civil society and youth-led organizations (CSOs and YLOs) in advancing health and nutrition outcomes for women, children, and adolescents.
Pillar 2: Scaling Community-Led Solutions for Adolescent Health and Nutrition enables youth and civil society groups to engage effectively in the development and scale-up of effective programs to improve access, equity, and outcomes in adolescent health services. This pillar empowers youth and civil society organizations to shape and scale innovative, community-driven solutions that improve adolescent health and nutrition. Rather than funding direct service delivery, it enables CSOs and YLOs to participate meaningfully in the design, evaluation, financing, and policy integration of effective adolescent health programs, ensuring sustainability and systems change.
The MEL Project Lead will have primary responsibility for guiding monitoring, evaluation, and learning to ensure evidence generation and cross-country learning. They will lead the design, management, and implementation of systems necessary to ensure quality monitoring and reporting of the project’s MEL plan agenda.
