Result of Service
Under the supervision of the Head of Programme Office in Guatemala the Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist will perform, among others, the following tasks: A. Operationalization of the projects’ M&E framework The Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist will implement the change map, results matrix and indicators of the Project by translating them into a practical implementation plan that clarifies how data will be captured directly through the Case Management System, who is responsible for entering and validating information, and how often case related data will be reviewed, ensuring that the CMS provides a clear and shared basis for monitoring cases across all involved actors and, where needed, proposing targeted adjustments to keep indicators realistic and aligned with actual use of the system. B: Development and refinement of data collection tools The Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist will adapt and develop concise data requirements, templates and specifications so that the CMS incorporates fields, drop down menus and standard categories that make it possible to record the full lifecycle of a case, key procedural milestones and relevant qualitative information, ensuring that these elements are simple for end users but structured enough to later generate statistics, dashboards and trend analyses once the system is in operation. C. Routine monitoring and data quality assurance The Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist will define, from the design stage, the basic data quality standards and controls that the CMS should incorporate, such as mandatory fields, consistency checks and time stamps for critical events, so that, when implemented, the system naturally supports reliable monitoring and follow up of cases and provides a solid basis for management oversight and performance review. D. Analysis, learning and adaptive management The Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist will work with the technical team and counterparts to ensure that the CMS design includes options for simple reporting views, filters and export functions aligned with the approved indicators, so that the system can later be used to visualize workloads, processing times and case trajectories, and will document lessons and recommendations during the development process to further strengthen the system’s monitoring and follow up capabilities in future iterations. E. Reporting and support to donor and corporate requirements The Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist will provide clear, technical inputs to project and donor reports on the project's implementation and also in relation to how monitoring and follow up needs have been incorporated into the CMS design, describing the key data elements, validation mechanisms and basic reporting functionalities agreed with counterparts, and formulating concrete recommendations to ensure that, once deployed, the system can generate the statistics and trends required by PNC for corporate reporting.
