    Results Reporting:

    Consolidate M&E findings and project results into relevant program reports, including semi and annual reports to funders, M&E work reports.

    This could also include presenting data directly to the SC.
    Coordinate with the Senior Communications Officer to visualize results in presentations, reports, and other documents for different audiences.
    Ensure M&E products are aligned with the ETP Theory of Change (ToC).
    Maintain, update, and identify improvements for the ETP's RBMF dashboard (Google Analytics) to be integrated into ETP's website.

    Incorporate feedback from implementing partners and the Fund beneficiaries into data analysis, and identify lessons learned for incorporation into ETP project activities, operations, and strategy.


    M&E Advice and Other Tasks:
    Provide technical expertise and guidance; develop, implement, and maintain effective M&E systems for ETP projects and aligned programs.

    Review and provide technical advice on ToC, measurement frameworks, log frames, and indicators for proposals submitted to the Secretariat.

    Enhance the effectiveness, efficiency, and communication value of ETP's M&E framework and processes, as well as those of aligned programs.

    Support M&E missions commissioned by the SC or UNOPS, as needed, and undertake other duties as assigned requiring M&E expertise.
