An inspiring and strategic leader with a passion for Oxfam's work is needed for this key position in our growing programme in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC)
Background
Oxfam has been present in DRC for more than 40 years. We work in the provinces of North and South Kivu, Province Orientale, Equateur, as well as in Kinshasa, reaching over 800,000 people through our programmes. Our five areas of focus are humanitarian preparedness and response, essential services, governance, economic justice/livelihoods, and gender justice. The various affiliates of Oxfam International are at the forefront of the fight against violence, poverty and injustice in DRC. Oxfam combines humanitarian and development programming with campaigning at local, national, and international levels to bring about change. That's why we need you!
The Role
You are at the very heart of Oxfam's programming within DRC. Working closely with all 4 Oxfam International affiliates in DRC you will develop, test, and maintain a Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL) system for our humanitarian and development programmes. You will develop a MEAL strategy across OI in DRC, and will work alongside all Oxfam affiliates to analyse, document, and share learning as a critical means for future planning and for use by our advocacy teams. You will identify key issues around programme quality and will line manage Oxfam's technical advisory team to ensure MEAL systems are improved through our programmes. You will achieve all of these activities whilst working closely with our programme teams and partners, enabling Oxfam to better measure outcomes and impact within the communities we work with.
The Person
You know this job is for you. You are ambitious, creative, and determined and are passionate about programme quality and maximising the impact our programmes have on the communities we work with. You have a varied experience working across both humanitarian and development programmes, are a strong leader with experience of effectively managing senior staff, but able to work as a real team player. Passionate about the importance of being accountable to donors, beneficiaries and other stakeholders, you are an excellent trainer with substantial experience of developing appropriate tools for monitoring and evaluation. With good diplomatic and negotiating skills, you are excellent at working with others and coordinating your activities. With the ability to speak fluent English and French and work in both languages, you are willing to travel frequently to all our programme sites in DRC, sometimes working in remote and potentially insecure places. Most importantly, you are committed and able to rise to the challenge to help bring about lasting change to people's lives in DRC.
