FSD Kenya Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist Job Vacancy

Financial Sector Deepening (FSD) Kenya

Impact Assessment Programme

Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist
The aim of FSD’s programme is to impact on poverty via financial inclusion for low-income groups, as well as growth oriented businesses and value chains. 

The effectiveness of our work therefore depends critically on understanding how financial and linked markets are developing in Kenya.

At the end of 2015, FSD Kenya will be in its tenth year of operation and it is therefore timely to devote considerable effort in determining FSD’s impacts on financial inclusion for its target population. 

The aim is to produce evidence of the developmental value of FSD’s investments in its overall goal of increasing financial inclusion in a way which benefits the livelihoods of underserved lower income groups. 

We are now seeking to recruit a Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) Specialist who shares our passion for measuring impact.

Under the guidance of FSD’s Senior Research Specialist, you will be responsible for measuring and analysing results at various levels to deepen FSD’s understanding of the pathways for achieving and improving impact. 

You will support all FSD programme staff with results-based tracking to ensure continuous monitoring and evaluation of impact. 

You will develop a strong communications plan to effectively disseminate FSD’s development impacts to its stakeholders as well as manage the impact research portfolio under the knowledge theme. 

You will be responsible for delivering a demanding set of outputs and will therefore need to be self-driven and able to deliver a range of tasks simultaneously.

At a minimum you will have:

• Relevant qualification in social science (minimum bachelor’s degree, masters preferred).
• Strong technical skills in quantitative and qualitative evaluation methods (including impact assessment) applied to development programmes.
• Sound understanding of logical framework approach, results-based measurement, project cycle management and other strategic planning approaches for programmes similar to FSD.
• Excellent project management skills.
• Excellent spoken and written English.

Closing date: Wednesday 11th June, 2014.
