Job Title: Monitoring and Evaluation Assistant

Duration: As soon as possible to December 2017
The Program
- Coffey International Development is managing a five year project
in Nigeria to facilitate improvements in the performance and
inclusiveness of the wholesale and retail sector. The Growth and
Employment in States (GEMS) programme, a joint initiative of DFID, the
World Bank and the Federal Government of Nigeria is targeted at four
states of Nigeria: Kano, Kaduna, Lagos and Cross River, but as with
other components, work in the wholesale and retail component will
expand beyond these states where impact can be maximised. In the case
of this component, work may be required in the trading centres of Aba
and Onitsha (in Abia and Anambra states, respectively).
- Like the wider GEMS programme that it comprises, GEMS4 will use
a Making Markets Work for the Poor (or M4P) approach to diagnose the
problems and inefficiencies within the sector and design interventions
that facilitate systemic change. The project will work to build local
capacities and change market incentives so that the sector better
meets the long-term needs of the poor, including women across the
country.
The Position

and Results Manager (PRM) to ensure effective monitoring and evaluation
of all aspects of the programme delivery. The position holder will
report to the PRM.

- The position holder will support the PRM in coordinating
collection of primary and secondary data requirements as deemed
necessary.
- S/he will also provide assistance in aggregating the results
from the intervention level M&E systems to the level of the overall
programme.
- The Monitoring and Evaluation framework for the programme
follows guidance from both Department for International Development
(DFID) and the Donor Committee for Enterprise Development (DCED).
- In practical terms the position holder will work with the PRM to
collect, analyse and interpret data to verify and record progress
towards intervention specific targets as outlined in the Programme Log
frame.
Key Responsibilities/Accountabilities

intervention monitoring tools for Intervention managers as requested by
