Monitoring and Evaluation Consultant – Ukraine At Global Communities

Background Information

Global Communities works at the intersection of humanitarian assistance, sustainable development and financial inclusion to save lives, advance equity and secure strong futures. We support communities at the forefront of their own development in more than 35 countries, partnering with local leaders, governments, civil society and the private sector to achieve a shared vision of a more just, prosperous and equitable global community.

Global Communities is responding to the crisis in Ukraine, delivering humanitarian, recovery, and development assistance through a community-led response. Global Communities’ response is designed with the goal of saving lives, reducing suffering, and addressing urgent needs while supporting communities to lead their own response and prepare for recovery.

Through our BHA-funded Community-Led Emergency Action and Response (CLEAR) program, GC aims to provide protection, shelter, and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) assistance to displaced and war-affected people, while supporting communities to lead their own response. CLEAR’s localized approach prioritizes capacity building of local civil society organizations (CSOs) to be effective responders. The project will be performing a Rapid Needs Assessment to inform interventions within prioritized communities.
