Job Description:

We are seeking a technically elite and analytically rigorous Senior M&E Officer to anchor the programmatic quality of IMC’s operations in Kano.

• Project Design: Support the development of Logframes and Results Frameworks, ensuring indicators are SMART and aligned with donor requirements (USAID, BHA, ECHO, etc.).

• Data Flow Governance: Organize and lead data collection activities following established reporting flows, ensuring data collected translates directly to the M/E Framework.

2. Technical Field Methodology & Data Quality

• Mobile Data Innovation: Install, configure, and troubleshoot mobile data collection platforms (Kobo, ODK, ONA) using XLSForm coding for agile field reporting.

• Evaluation Leadership: Contribute to project evaluations by applying fundamental principles of contribution vs. attribution and counterfactual analysis.

• Knowledge Mobilization: Lead "Lessons Learned" workshops and case study development to strengthen cross-sector learning and success story consolidation.

• Inclusive Monitoring: Incorporate cross-cutting themes, ensuring data is disaggregated by sex, age, and disability status to reflect the needs of vulnerable groups.
