Title : Monitoring and Result Measurement Officer (MRMO) PRISMA

(Promoting Rural Income through Support for Markets in

Agriculture)

Duty Station : Flores

Duration : Up to 30 April 2016

Report to : Project Manager PRISMA

Functional context

In March 2014 Hivos started implementation of a ‘M4P’ (Making

Markets Work for the Poor) project funded by DFAT under its

Australia-Indonesia Partnership for Promoting Rural Income

through Support for Markets in Agriculture (AIP-PRISMA)

program. The project “Commercial Pig Rearing in NTT” is a

two-year initiative implemented in conjunction with individual

farmers, local partners and the private sector in eight

locations in Flores, NTT.

The objective of the project is to increase pig farmer incomes

by improving and incentivising productivity. This will be

achieved by addressing several constraints on farmers’

efficient participation in the market, namely: facilitating

farmer access to finance; increasing the speed at which pigs

can be raised via the introduction of improved pig breeds;

encouraging the development of service providers for fodder,

extension services, commercial aggregation and processing; and

developing retail, wholesale and export potential in NTT.

Hivos’s project is supported by a two-person Monitoring and

Results Measurement (MRM) field team, who are responsible for

the monitoring, evaluation and learning dimensions of the

project. The team operates in accordance with the Hivos policy

and donor requirements. The new MRMO will work closely with

existing members of Hivos’s field team, under the supervision

of the Project Manager PRISMA. The MRMO will identify and

formulate phases of the project to ensure proper planning,

results and indicator formulation using the SMART concept.

He/she translates the project’s Theory of Change into tangible

indicators for monitoring and evaluation; analyses, validates

and aggregates output, outcomes and learning in all phases of

the primary process, in close partnership with the Project

Manager. The MRMO proves the potential sustainability of social

solutions and makes accountability feasible.

The MRMO will provide support in delivering fact-based evidence

that will sharpen new and/or ongoing project implementation.

The MRMO provides the technical evidence to be used by the

Projects teams and works in close partnership with all

positions mentioned above, to provide back-up and support to

successfully implement activities and put forward proof to

convince donors.
