Internship (Effectiveness, Knowledge and Learning)

Join us in our exciting and diverse mission to strengthen Evidence and Learning in DRC globally. You will get to engage with monitoring, evaluation, accountability and learning (MEAL) professionals in all parts of the organization and will learn a lot about DRC’s work for people affected by displacement.

 

Who are we?

The Division for Effectiveness, Knowledge and Learning is all about evidence; its analysis, documentation, and sharing. We host global advisors for programme results and monitoring, for data collection and data analysis, for accountability to people, aid transparency, and evaluation. Our technical expertise covers the full spectrum of Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL). We provide technical support to DRC’s operations and build capacity of staff in these areas. We manage the evaluation function for DRC, and lead on DRC’s commitment to the Core Humanitarian Standard (CHS) and the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI). In addition, we provide global coordination for DRC’s strategy. Through our work we contribute to DRC’s programmes to be effective, and we collect and share evidence of DRC’s effectiveness, building knowledge. We steer organizational learning, through global processes and supporting learning in field operations.
