    Full time
    Description

    World Vision is an international Christian relief, development and advocacy organisation working in almost 100 countries world-wide to create lasting change in the lives of children, families and communities to overcome poverty and injustice.

    About Job

    The MEAL Senior Technical Advisor is a senior representative that ensures the quality and effectiveness of multi-million dollar humanitarian responses and programmes to better meet the needs of those most affected by crises and disasters


    This is done by:
    Deploying to responses and humanitarian programmes to establish and improve MEAL systems, processes, and capability

    Developing tools, guidance, and new approaches to support responses to better apply the most effective MEAL practices
    Building local capability to lead MEAL during crises


    These activities are done through close coordination with regions to provide support where it is most needed and where programming risks are highest.


    Coordination with the global DME team (Global Programmes and Resources) is critical to ensure humanitarian MEAL processes are closely aligned with organizational guidance and contribute tools and resources that apply across programming contexts.


    Location:

    This position can be based remotely in a location with World Vision International registration but requires up to 50% international travel.


    Major Job Responsibilities:
    (a) Deploy to Category Ill/SHR (and select Category II) emergencies and United Nations-funded programmes to establish, improve, and build the capability of MEAL

    Ensure responses demonstrate strong MEAL practices that enable effective needs-based and data-driven accountable programming
    Ensure responses are aligned with DM's MEAL guidance, and Disaster Management (DM) standards, and apply appropriate and contextualized MEAL tools

    Responses reflect the consistent (where relevant) application of the latest MEAL tools and approaches based on DM's priorities such as environmental assessment (NEAT+), COSMAT and market assessments, Disaster Management core indicators, learning for adaptation and vulnerability guidance (among others) across regions.

    MEAL assessments are conducted in coordination with Support Offices (SO) to support resource acquisition
    Ensure UN-funded programmes demonstrate reduced risk as a result of the application of food/cash-based MEAL tools (such as PDM) consistently across programmes with enhancements where necessary
    Coordination with the humanitarian accountability Advisor where relevant issues are identified to leverage support for responses on accountability-related issues

    Develop tools, guidance, and new approaches to support responses to better apply the most effective MEAL practices.

    Core MEAL guidance and tools are regularly updated based on learning from field use.

    Take the lead in revising, developing, and maintaining the following tools/approaches – Conflict Sensitive Market Analysis Toolkit (CoSMAT), and other CVP monitoring tools.

    Ensure new or updated tools are piloted as appropriate through MEAL leadership and then rolled out globally
    Ensure all new tools reflect collaboration with sector and technical specialists relevant to the tool.

    For all guidance and tools, ensure appropriate revisions and/or simplification are done for use by local partners in responses.

    Build field capability to lead MEAL during crises.

    Learning programmes are conducted for MEAL staff on a regional basis appropriate to the needs of the MEAL staff in that region.

    This is coordinated with regional leadership, Global Propgrammes and Resources DM&E, and with relevant World Vision Support Office (SO) leadership to leverage partnership capability and resources.

    Consolidate, revise, or develop required training materials based on identified capacity gaps and priorities

    Ensure a roster of deployable MEAL staff is refined with a clear description of capabilities for easy access, ie whether staff can serve as MEAL Director, manager, or officer in response.

    Engage and collaborate.

    Serve as the primary MEAL representative with regional leadership teams in designated regions to identify and resolve MEAL-related issues while identifying opportunities, paying special attention to risk.

    Engage with Humanitarian Emergency Affairs (HEA) and MEAL leaders in Support Offices to collaborate on donor MEAL priorities (ie environmental assessments for ECHO) and leverage partnership-wide capability/avoid duplication of effort
    Engage with the global food assistance, CVP, and operations teams to coordinate field-level priorities for assistance
    Serve as the senior MEAL representative for the ESCA working group to coordinate across the partnership on the testing and application of environmental assessments
    Serve as the senior MEAL representative on the implementation of the Cash Roadmap at a strategic level

    Engage with external agencies and bodies that support effective MEAL practices such as ALNAP, ODI, IAHE, or other evaluation associations on specific priorities and projects.

    Encourage and facilitate the documentation of best practices and lessons learned, directed toward multiple audiences to influence policy formation and strategy.

    Requirements

    Required Knowledge/Qualifications for the Role:
    Master's degree in a related field (e.g., humanitarian action, social sciences, development and humanitarian policy)
    8 years experience in the humanitarian and development sector with at least 5 years experience working in and with field operations
