Project Background

Integrity, in partnership with Management Systems International (MSI) and with leading research and data collection firms in Somalia, implements a third-party monitoring (TPM) system to collect data that verifies implementing partner (IP) reported outputs and selected outcomes, and deduces lessons learned from humanitarian programs in Somalia funded by the USAID Bureau of Humanitarian Assistance (BHA)/Somalia.

The overall goal of USAID/BHA Somalia Monitoring Learning Project-2 (SMLP-2) is to increase BHA/Somalia’s access to independent, verifiable data related to the quantity and quality of activities delivered, and performance of BHA-funded programs in Somalia. SMLP-2 is implemented as five major tasks:

• Task 1: Conducting TPM Site Visits for BHA-funded Activities in Somalia
• Task 2: Hosting a Virtual Reporting Platform used by SMLP-2 staff, Somalia-based Subcontractors, IPs, and BHA.
• Task 3: Facilitating BHA and IP Learning.
• Task 4: Conducting Data Quality Assessments (DQA) of IP Data.
• Task 5: Conducting Special Research Studies.

Scope of Work

The Senior Monitoring Advisor (SMA), a USAID key personnel position, will provide technical leadership and guidance for the conceptualization, design, implementation, and quality assurance of the TPM system and associated deliverables (SMLP-2 Task 1).

The SMA will establish sound methodological processes and standards that are compliant with USAID guidance and lead to highly reliable findings for all TPM activities. Reporting to the DCOP, the SMA will direct and supervise the Task 1 (TPM Site Visits) technical staff made up of two Senior Monitoring Analysts, one Monitoring Analyst, two Monitoring Advisors, one Somalia Coordinator, a pool of analysis and report-writing consultants, as well as the Somalia-based TPM Subcontractors (of approximately six managers and 35-40 field monitors/enumerators). The SMA will also collaborate closely with the Task 2 & 3 teams including the Senior Learning Advisor, the Data & Knowledge Manager, and the IP Liaison and Database Officer.
