Programme Learning Coordinator- Women’s Rights Programme (WRP) at Action Aid

ActionAid Ireland is a grant holder with the Government of Ireland (Irish Aid) as part of the Programme Partners Grant scheme ll (PG ll) from 2017 to 2021 to lead and deliver a Women’s Rights Programme in Ethiopia, Kenya and Nepal with a public engagement aspect to the programme in Ireland managed directly by AAIreland.

The programme is implemented in two localities in Ethiopia and Kenya and three localities in Nepal and directly targets women and girls. The programme aims are to reduce gender based violence and to increase women’s economic empowerment. Country teams from ActionAid manage the day to day implementation of the programme while AAIreland manages the relationship with the donor, provides technical support to the country teams and implements a public engagement programme in Ireland to make the public more aware of and engaged with women’s rights in the global south.

The role of the Programme Learning Coordinator has been created to support the Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (ME&L) staff and the Women’s Rights teams responsible for day to programme management in Ethiopia, Kenya and Nepal and to oversee the rollout of monitoring, evaluation and learning processes for the new Women’s Rights programme (WRP ll).

The Programme Learning Coordinator will be responsible for coordinating all ME&L processes for the WRP across all three implementing countries including: managing the development of tools to monitor the new programme in participation with beneficiary groups, ensuring monthly and annual reporting requirements are met at country level and coordinating these at programme level to produce a report for the global programme and providing support to programme staff and partners to help them meet their requirements.

S/he will work closely with ME&L staff in all three programme countries and take the lead in ensuring programme quality across all activities.
