🇸🇳 ESC Volunteering in Senegal 📊 Monitoring Evaluation and Learning With a Humanitarian Organisation 🤝

Description

Since 2003, MdM has focused on the accessibility and quality of the healthcare system, the fight against gender-based violence and sexual and reproductive health, with an approach based on human rights, particularly with regard to women and vulnerable populations. The volunteer will be based in Dakar and will report directly to the country coordination team. The volunteer will support project/programme management in the areas of Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL), assigned throughout their cycles, by providing support in the formulation of new projects, the implementation of ongoing projects, the preparation of narrative reports and project justifications within the MEAL framework, and by reporting to key stakeholders (country coordination, project/programme coordination and health coordination). They will be responsible for contributing to data analysis with a view to designing new projects.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

The work will take place at the MdM Dakar office, with some travel to Kedougou. The volunteer will be accommodated in the organisation's guest house. A driver will be available at all times for emergencies and any necessary movements to ensure the volunteer's well-being. The volunteer will receive a monthly per diem of 568€ to cover their food and other expenses. MdM will pay for the return plane ticket from the country of origin to the place of work, vaccinations, visas, etc. required before departure, and expenses during the training in Madrid before deployment in the field.
