  • Conduct complexity-aware monitoring activities such as writing and preparing protocols for IRB submission, drafting literature reviews and indicator matrices, developing questionnaires and analysis plans, and managing related work plans
  • Complexity aware monitoring and evaluation methods
  • Support data collection, management, analysis, and use of CHISU global indicators and country-specific indicators in the project’s MIS and other platforms used by the project or its stakeholders

  • Provide backstop support to 2-4 country teams and general support across all countries, regions, and core activities
