M&e Toolkit Consultant

The IRC is a member of the SGBV Task Force that serves as a national coordination mechanism to support implementation of quality prevention and response activities for GBV. The national coordination body is further supported through 5 SGBV Field Working Groups in Akkar (Qobayat), Bekaa (Zahle), North (Tripoli + 5), South (Tyr) and Mount Lebanon (Beirut). Responding to the gap in having a more unified, clear M&E framework for the GBV sector in Lebanon, IRC has consulted with the SGBV Taskforce and identified a need for a comprehensive review of the tools being used for monitoring and evaluation. While many organizations and agencies have internal M&E systems, there are few tools that have been agreed upon to be used across the sector, particularly when reporting for the LCRP. With the agreement of the SGBV Taskforce, IRC will support the sector to conduct a review of the M&E tools and frameworks currently being used by organizations and agencies and to develop a toolkit that directly relates to measuring quality service provision and impact-driven indicators that allows for more accurate monitoring and reporting. The IRC is hiring an M&E Consultant to facilitate this process and ensure a comprehensive toolkit, including training of M&E staff members from across the SGBV sector on usage of all tools. This consultant will be hired and managed by the IRC, but will be asked to serve as an inter-agency interlocutor for discussions on the M&E framework for the GBV sector.
