Monitoring & Evaluation Adviser – Lagos (National Volunteer) at VSO
Working at VSO
VSO is the world’s leading international non-governmental organisation that works through volunteers to create a fair world for everyone. In 2022/23, over 7,700 dedicated individuals from across the globe volunteered with VSO, bringing their abilities to support almost 11 million people in 35 countries.
Our work centres on those who are left out by society – those living in extreme poverty or with disability and illness. Those who face discrimination and violence because of their gender, sexuality, or social status. Those who are at risk from disaster, disease, and conflict.
But they are not passive beneficiaries of aid; they are the “primary actors” at the heart of our efforts. From their perspective, we define the issues, opportunities, and solutions that drive sustainable, local-led change. These individuals are the key agents of their own transformation.
Role Overview Summary
The role supports the ACTIVE project in Nigeria by leading Monitoring and Evaluating activities, including data validation, DQA, capacity building, and supervisory visits to strengthen data management. Reporting to the state programme manager, the adviser will monitor program activities, collaborate with project teams, and work with stakeholders to ensure accountability and learning.
Ideal Applicant Summary
A candidate with a Bachelor's degree in social sciences, international development, statistics, or related fields (Master’s preferred) and proven experience in monitoring and evaluation, ideally within the development or non-profit sectors.
