Mercy Corps is a leading global organization powered by the belief that a better world is possible. In disaster, in hardship, in more than 40 countries around the world, we partner to put bold solutions into action – helping people triumph over adversity and build stronger communities from within. Now, and for the future. We help people overcome poverty and conflict. Working with communities, we leverage local logic to help people transform their lives. To grow more food, earn higher incomes and ultimately advocate for their needs. We
see global challenges as an invitation to pioneer innovative, sustainable solutions
Enhancing resilience is at the heart of what Mercy Corps does and how we work. Mercy Corps strengthens
sources of resilience to enhance the capacities of people, markets, and institutions to handle shocks, reduce risk, build more equitable and responsive systems, and improve well-being. Through our programmes, partnerships, and influence, we support communities to cope, adapt, and ultimately thrive.
Since 1986, Mercy Corps Afghanistan has supported communities to recover and build resilience to future shocks, and promote sustainable change by supporting community-led and market-driven initiatives, with a focus on the most marginalised. Our objectives include meeting immediate food and nutrition needs through cash, voucher, and WASH assistance, strengthening capacities for crisis preparedness and response, and in so
doing, contribute to resilience through inclusive, climate-smart water systems, enhanced livelihoods opportunities, food security, and social cohesion.
The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has launched a call for proposals for NGOs to deliver the Promoting Resilient & Equitable Recovery of Agriculture and Livelihoods in Afghan communities (PREVALE) programme. The overall aim of the 5-year programme is to increase multi-year food productivity and profitability for vulnerable farmers, herders, and land-poor Afghans, including women with intersecting and overlapping vulnerabilities, build community-level resilience to climate and environmental risk, and strengthen livelihoods and local markets. The programme is anticipated
to begin in November or December 2024. Hiring is contingent upon successful award of the grant.
The Research, Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Lead (RMEL Lead) will be
a core member of the PREVALE Programme Management Unit (PMU). The RMEL Lead will manage the PREVALE MEL technical team and lead the national MEL focal points from each partner organisation. S/he will support the implementation of the monitoring, evaluation and learning plan of PREVALE’ activities, cultivating a strong learning culture, and providing leadership and strategic direction to the MEL staff of the consortium’s partners.
The Research, Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Lead (RMEL Lead) will lead on the design of the Research and MEL Plans in close collaboration with various other technical leads. S/he will set the technical direction for
the programme’s key learning questions, coordination of information sources, analysis of trends, and contribute to the programme’s influence strategy. The RMEL Lead will be responsible for overseeing MEL workstreams, various assessments and integrated research components, including data collection, analysis and learning papers, ensuring effective coordination and sharing of information and learning within the programme.
