Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist

Project Description

Looking for a rewarding way to share your monitoring and evaluation (M&E) skills with others? Liberian health workers are looking to strengthen their data collection and analysis skills.

Liberia continues to face significant public health challenges rooted in its history of prolonged civil conflict and a devastating Ebola epidemic. These events severely weakened the country’s healthcare infrastructure, limiting access to quality care and contributing to poor maternal and child health outcomes and frequent outbreaks of infectious diseases, such as Mpox and Lassa fever. Despite ongoing recovery efforts, gaps remain in health system accountability, data management, and program evaluation—especially at the county level.

As a Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist, you will work alongside county health teams to implement robust monitoring and evaluation systems. Together, you will help ensure health interventions are effective, transparent, and responsive to community needs. By strengthening local capacity in data collection, analysis, and reporting, you will contribute to improved health services and outcomes for vulnerable populations. Your work will leave a lasting impact by empowering local teams to make informed decisions and drive sustainable health improvements across Liberia.
