The MEL Specialist will be responsible for supporting the delivery of results in line with the commitments we have made in the HICAS Project Performance Measurement Framework, which is nested within ICIMOD’s Strategy 2030: Moving Mountains and Medium-Term Action Plan V (2023-2026): Embracing Change and Accelerating Impact institutional Results Framework. These institutional frameworks set out an ambitious agenda to strengthen monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL), enable adaptive management, and enhance delivery and accountability.’
The MEL Specialist plays a critical role in strengthening systems for results-based planning, monitoring, and reporting within the HICAS project, with a strong emphasis on adaptive learning, performance delivery, and the tracking of GESI-responsive and IPLC-relevant outcomes and impacts. Drawing on feminist methodologies, the MEL approach will ensure that gender and social power dynamics are captured through qualitative and intersectional analysis and are reflected in transformative changes for women and IPLCs. The role requires strong interactions with HICAS team members, the Country Project Focal Points, and partners in the HICAS countries.
This position requires relevant qualifications and experience in Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning, with demonstrated expertise in results-based management. The role also demands strong familiarity with human rights-based and feminist approaches to results, as well as experience working on gender equality and with Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities.
