Purpose of Activity/Assignment
In ongoing humanitarian situations, robust performance monitoring is a core accountability and is essential to support effective emergency response, aligning to the Core Commitments for Children (CCCs), and enabling course corrections as needed. Thus to ensure effective monitoring of the programme actions is in place, the UNICEF ECA Regional Office seeks support from an experienced professional to lend expertise to the ECARO Programme Planning and Data team in humanitarian planning, monitoring and research to assure quality and performance objectives are met in our humanitarian programmes.
The consultant will support the Planning & Monitoring Manager (Humanitarian Performance Monitoring) in maintaining a functional HPM system that meets the monitoring and reporting requirements, working closely with the Refugee Response and Country Office Teams, the RO Emergency section and Programme sections. S/he will conduct research on the humanitarian-development nexus in high-income countries, focusing on monitoring frameworks, best practices, and opportunities for integration. Additionally, s/he will research ways to integrate the Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP) workstream into HPM and research systems for collecting and analysing feedback to inform performance monitoring and strengthen accountability across the region.

The focus will be on improving data collection, analysis, and visualization systems, aligning them with the latest standards and operational needs, and fostering capacity-building initiatives that empower programme teams to effectively monitor, evaluate, and report on humanitarian interventions. This will be further enhanced with research into systems approaches that will enable UNICEF to monitor and report on humanitarian programmes that contribute to systems strengthening and align with development frameworks, as well as research on how feedback and complaints from beneficiaries can be utilized to monitor performance and inform future planning cycles.
