| Overview: |
Regular and robust monitoring and evaluation will be critical to the success of the Essential Medicines program in India, enabling CHAI and its partners to evaluate our performance, to identify and resolve specific implementation challenges and to identify best practices that can inform scale-up in other countries. The program will focus on the primary outcome of zinc and ORS usage, as well as a number of intervention output indicators that are critical to achieving that higher usage. In addition, several operational research studies are planned, that will assess the relative effectiveness of specific interventions and as such inform government policy development and management decision making. The Manager – Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) will be responsible for leading and managing these research elements, and for providing the thought leadership in designing and implementing a robust M&E framework to support the Essential Medicines program in India. Candidates should have strong research and analytical skills matched with an ability and desire to use those skills to develop practical solutions in challenging environments and to focus solely on the use of analytics to achieve large-scale impact. |
