Background

SoCha intends to submit a proposal for the USAID/Vietnam follow-on to the Learning and Knowledge Management (Learns) activity in the Republic of Vietnam. The purpose of the activity is to enable data-driven decision-making and evidence-based collaborating, learning, and adapting within and amongst USAID/Vietnam and its partners to improve program management and development impact in Vietnam. As development programs continue to adapt to the rapidly changing and dynamic operating environment in Vietnam, USAID/Vietnam requires access to up-to-date and on-demand contextual information, systems, and processes to coordinate timely programmatic responses, and qualitative and quantitative context data to advance the goal and development objectives of its 2020-2025 Country Development Cooperation Strategy. As information sources and data points continue to grow, the Mission also requires comprehensive knowledge capture, retention, transfer, and management practices to support evidence-based decision-making and efficiently and effectively facilitate M&E and CLA approaches within USAID/Vietnam and amongst implementing partners. Additionally, the Mission requires performance improvement services for its strategic partners and an approach that fundamentally ensures responsiveness to program participant feedback regarding USAID’s assistance.

SoCha is seeking a full-time, qualified individual to fill the role of Monitoring Advisor. The Monitoring Advisor will be full-time and based in Hanoi. This role is for a proposal position and is contingent on award and funding.
