Job Description
R4D is a leading non-profit global development partner. We collaborate with change agents around the world to create strong systems that support healthy, educated people.
We help our partners move from knowing their goal to knowing how to reach it. We combine global
expertise in health, education and nutrition with analytic rigor, practical support for decision-making and implementation and access to peer problem-solving networks. Together with our partners, we build self-sustaining systems that serve everyone and deliver lasting results. Then we share what we learn so others can achieve results for development, too.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are at the heart of our work environment and help advance our mission.
Diversity – of ideas, identities, perspectives, and backgrounds – is vital to who we are and what we do. We seek people who embrace these values and will help reinforce them. Our work culture is collaborative, creative, and entrepreneurial. We operate based on trust and respect.
About the Position
R4D is looking for an Adaptive Learning Director (Ethiopia) for the anticipated multi-year, USAID/Ethiopia Resilience Platform for Adaptive Learning (R-PAL) activity. The R-PAL mechanism is intended to streamline collaboration, communication, and knowledge management for over 25+ USAID partners working to increase household and community resilience to multi-sector shocks in the Highlands of Ethiopia. Specifically, it is anticipated that this activity will 1) fuel collaboration and coordination to deliver collective impact; 2) support data- and learning-driven resilience investments; 3) develop local capacity for collaborating, learning, and adapting (CLA); and 4) test and scale innovative approaches.
The CLA Director will lead innovative monitoring, evaluation, research and learning approaches for an anticipated USAID/Ethiopia Resilience Platform for Adaptive Learning (R-PAL) project. The Director will primarily provide management and technical direction through the application of CLA practices and approaches. This individual must have experience in designing and implementing monitoring and evaluation systems; in leading processes to review and analyze evidence to inform priorities for action; and in facilitating collaboration among multiple partners which will include USAID/Ethiopia, the Government of Ethiopia, and implementing partners.
The role is based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and will report to the R-PAL Chief of Party. This full-time position is contingent upon award. Ethiopian nationals are encouraged to apply.
