Regional Monitoring Reporting and Knowledge Management Officer

The ‘PROSPECTS’ Partnership for improving Prospects for host communities and forcibly displaced persons (FDPs), was launched by the Government of the Netherlands in 2019 in response to forced displacement crises, bringing together the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the International Labour Organization (ILO), the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the World Bank. The programme operates in eight countries across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and the Horn of Africa, employing a holistic approach whereby each partner focuses on their area of expertise to collaboratively enhance access to education, protection schemes and decent jobs for both forcibly displaced persons and host communities.
In 2024, the partnership will be starting a second phase for four years (PROSPECTS 2.0) that will build on the results and draw on the lessons learned in the first phase in order to maximize impact. Throughout the first phase, and as part of close monitoring of and reporting on its interventions in the partnership and their impact on the target beneficiaries, the ILO across the eight PROSPECTS countries has been regularly collecting data against the set targets, undertaking tracer studies, and documenting results and lessons learned. Moving forward, there is a need to maintain and further strengthen the monitoring and reporting function, and foster exchange of lessons learned from ILO’s work in PROSPECTS and the humanitarian development peace nexus (HDPN) across the three Arab States, while contributing to the broader ILO PROSPECTS efforts on knowledge management across the eight countries. Moreover, there is also a need to translate the Multi-Annual Country Programme (MACP) document that reflects the work of all five PROSPECTS partners in each of the three countries into specific ILO workplans.
It is against this backdrop that a Regional Monitoring, Reporting, and Knowledge Management Officer will be recruited to further develop a robust monitoring and reporting system for the ILO PROSPECTS 2.0 programme within the three Arab States (Lebanon, Jordan, and Iraq) in line with the global PROSPECTS M&E system, while supporting the knowledge management and learning at the regional level.
Reporting line: The incumbent will report to the Regional PROSPECTS Chief Technical Adviser based at the ILO Regional Office for Arab States (ROAS), Beirut. S/He will support the PROSPECTS teams across the three countries. The incumbent will also work closely with both the ILO PROSPECTS Global M&E Officer and Knowledge Content Management and Learning Officer based in Geneva and will coordinate with the ILO ROAS M&E Officer.
