Job Title: Project Officer – MEAL
Organisation: Catholic Relief Services (CRS)
Duty Station: Kampala, Uganda
Reports to: Project Manager – Child Protection and Care
About US:
Catholic Relief Services (CRS) is an International non-profit organization whose commitment is to assist the poor and vulnerable overseas set out by the Bishops of the United States. Our Catholic identity is at the heart of our mission and operations. We welcome as a part of our staff and as partners people of all faiths and secular traditions who share our values and our commitment to serving those in need.
About Project Background:
As part of its Vision 2030 agency strategy, CRS is investing in six strategic change platforms to achieve results at scale. One of these key strategic change platforms is Strengthening Families for Thriving Children Strategic Change Platform 5 (SCP5). This Strategic Change Platform is a bold initiative to support vulnerable children to thrive in safe, healthy, and nurturing families, create more resilient and supportive communities, and work with our Catholic partners, civil society, and governments to establish policies and systems that strengthen families. SCP5 also aims to influence governments, donors, Catholic actors, and other regional and global stakeholders to redirect resources and support to strengthen families.
The platform is implemented across CRS country programs, one of which is Uganda. CRS Uganda is leveraging success from its protection-focused programs, 4Children and SOCY to achieve national care reform at scale in Uganda, by influencing other actors in the sector to change practices, policies, and resources in support of family strengthening and family care.
Job Summary: The MEAL Officer will implement MEAL activities, provide MEAL technical support, and monitor and report on all project monitoring, evaluation, accountability, and learning activities in support of Catholic Relief Services (CRS) work serving the poor and vulnerable. The role entails ensuring that the project has a robust MEAL system that meets CRS MEAL policies and procedures, CRS global results and other stakeholder’s information needs. Your MEAL knowledge and support will contribute to determining how effective, adaptive, and innovative CRS Uganda’s programming is and a thorough and service-oriented approach will ensure that the project consistently applies best practices and constantly works towards improving the impact of its benefits to those we serve.
