The M&E Coordinator will support the management and implementation of the RISE program activities including the monitoring and evaluation plan, monitoring the impact of interventions, and learning.  The M&E Coordinator will provide leadership to the entire RISE program, including all sub-grantees, in developing program level M&E systems that enable clients and stakeholders to analyze and effectively represent program results in a synchronized manner. Ensure that monitoring systems meet the requirements of USAID and reported with quality and evidences. Lead the process of conducting the project baseline, mid line and end line surveys for impact level indicators and continuously improve the databases, and RISE progress tracking and recording systems, working closely with program staff, partners and USAID. Establish the M&E system serving the needs of the overall RISE program - both for portions of the program being directly implemented by Mercy Corps and for the substantial sub-grant program. The system must be designed and maintained to harmonize program approaches of all RISE implementers with utility and program quality in mind, providing managers and their team’s real time information that can steer program implementation as well as improve our ability to analyze and represent impact to USAID, government, colleague agencies, and communities themselves. The system must include a variety of methodologies (both quantitative and qualitative) and also must engage communities.   The Coordinator also produces regular reporting to USAID and responds to information requests, and thereby works closely with the communications team to ensure that program information is managed in a controlled and efficient manner. As such, this collaboration results in a positive program public image, and the design of a communication plan to build public, private and political support for implementing various reforms under this program.
