Agence Nationale de Volontariat Jeunesse (ANVJ) in Guinea has requested the support of a Peace Corps Response Volunteer (PCRV) to serve as a Field Monitoring and Evaluation Officer. Under the initiative of the Guinean government through the Ministry of Youth, the National Youth Volunteering Project was created in 2006 with inspiration from the United States Peace Corps to later become a national volunteering agency, Agence Nationale de Volontariat Jeunesse. ANVJ has identified a need for monitoring & evaluation support in their Community Health Development project.
The PCRV will collaborate with ANVJ staff on implementing and adapting ANVJ’s Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) Framework to analyze the impact and cost effectiveness of ANVJ's Community Health Promotion programs and improve their effectiveness going forward. The PCRV will also train ANVJ project management and M&E teams on the basics of Monitoring and Evaluation and how to develop M&E frameworks with pertinent questioning for correct data-basing while developing and executing M&E plans.
Candidates selected for this position will be arriving in Guinea together as a group, so while the departure dates for the whole group could change, dates cannot be changed for individual candidates.
