Job description
The MEL Technical Advisor position is part of the Program Expertise & Quality (SEQP) department within the Operations Directorate of SOLIDARITES INTERNATIONAL. This department aims to support field teams in the development and implementation of programmatic quality, according to the technical standards established by SI.
Under the supervision of the Deputy Director of SEQP, the MEL Technical Referent will have the following missions:
- Technical support and assistance to Country Offices (60%)
- Structuring technical expertise (25%)

Expertise in monitoring and managing program data is key for this position, as the organization seeks to strengthen its data collection, processing, and analysis systems to extract reliable, structured information that fosters an agile approach to project management. This information must also be comparable over time and across different geographic regions for broader governance purposes. The role will involve leading scoping efforts, strengthening the expertise of country teams, and overseeing the implementation of practical tools that meet the needs of both headquarters and the field. These objectives will require the technical lead to work with sector teams (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene, and Food Security and Livelihoods), particularly to support the identification or development of resources and tools that address sector information management needs.
Support for the Evaluation and Learning functions will constitute a minor part of the position. It will involve providing support to country teams on identifying methodologies and approaches adapted to the teams’ learning needs, and making recommendations.
