Summary
Date Posted: Wednesday, August 21, 2019 , Base Salary: Not Disclosed

JOB DETAILS:
Position: Time + Tide Foundation Monitoring and Evaluation (M+E) Coordinator
Background:
At the Time + Tide Foundation, we show vulnerable children in remote, wilderness areas that they have more to offer than what may be traditionally and/or locally expected of them. Through academic, social, physical, and cognitive support, we work with historically under-valued children – such as girls and those with special needs – to enter, remain and progress in formal schools. This is no small task as we often begin with a baseline of 0% literacy, we see handicapped children locked away in their homes and girls leaving school due to pregnancy at the age of 12. In conjunction with the Time + Tide tourism brand, we boost the quality of life for local communities that live in and adjacent to national parks, mirroring the direct economic investment from the Time + Tide lodges with educational interventions that yield high social returns.
General Description:
The M+E Coordinator will be responsible for managing the overall framework for the Time + Tide Foundation’s M+E systems, including data collection, management, analysis and reporting. The M+E Coordinator will be tasked with developing innovative evaluation designs to demonstrate the effectiveness of project interventions and will be responsible for the storage of all data collected on online databases. S/he will work closely with the Foundation’s senior programme officers, providing technical support in implementing M+E activities to ensure timely reporting of progress against key indicators. .
