Indonesia: Monitoring & Evaluation Manager


A position most suitable for a mid- to senior-level expert in monitoring and evaluation who will be based in Jakarta. This is a six-month assignment with an ambition to develop a permanent position contributing to our monitoring and evaluation practice globally.


JOB DESCRIPTION


We are a social enterprise with a mission to design and deliver tools for people who want to improve the world. We work at the forefront of efforts to understand and respond to the challenges of migration, conflict and justice issues in the 21st Century. Geographically, we operate in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, South-East Asia and Oceania. Farsight’s personnel are spread around the world and a lot of teamwork occurs remotely.
We are recruiting a monitoring and evaluation expert for a six-month assignment in Jakarta. You will report to the CEO and you must be able to work in English and Bahasa Indonesia. Your two immediate work streams will be:


  • Contributing to our broad and diverse responsibilities in Program Peduli.

  • Advising on the monitoring and evaluation components of Farsight’s project and software development.

More detail on each of these items is available below.


In the medium term and with a view beyond the initial six-month assignment, we would value
your interest in developing a permanent position that contributes to our monitoring and
evaluation services globally.


Peduli
Peduli is focused on social inclusion in Indonesia, with a diverse set of beneficiary groups spread
throughout the archipelago. The managing partner is The Asia Foundation, with over 80 NGOs
and CSOs involved in implementation. Farsight is responsible for several monitoring and
evaluation streams of work and our team working with Peduli has a mixture of expertise, such
as in: qualitative research; software design and coding; and data analysis. The team’s
responsibilities include:


  • Design, management and updating of the program management information system.
    The system captures qualitative and quantitative data from implementers. Some
    streams of data are automatically collated and reported for monitoring and
    evaluation purposes; others require in-depth and nuanced analysis to understand
    how theories of change are playing out in reality.

  • Providing recommendations, design and implementation of additional methods to
    gather and interpret information on program performance. This responsibility will
    demand your experience and creativity to develop novel mechanisms that deliver
    insights into Peduli’s progress and problems.

  • Supporting staff in The Asia Foundation to collect, analyze and respond to quality
    assurance observations. The system and analysis you manage will directly deal with
    issues in program implementation and improvements in CSO operations.

  • Working with monitoring and evaluation focal points in implementing NGOs to
    develop their systems and skills. This will include a lessons-learned exercise towards
    the end of 2016, which addresses lessons from the program and lessons from the
    program’s monitoring and evaluation framework.

  • Developing the program monitoring and evaluation framework beyond 2016.

You would contribute to all of the above, with an ambition to develop into a leadership position.
You will take on supervisory and coordination roles, as well as provide high-level advice to The
Asia Foundation and the donor on monitoring and evaluation strategy.


We expect your work for Peduli to take approximately 75% of your time. As the above examples
demonstrate, you will enjoy a diverse set of challenges. Your basic mission is to help The Asia
Foundation and implementing organizations to understand how well the program is
performing, what works and why, and to maximize performance. Ultimately, the purpose of
your role is to improve life for marginalized groups in Indonesia.


Global Monitoring and Evaluation
We are two years old and in a high-growth phase. In the last twelve months, donors have funded Farsight for well over 1,000 work days of monitoring and evaluation services. Across our projects and in new proposal processes, there are growing demands for a position to lead monitoring and evaluation. We also have internal software development work in which monitoring and evaluation expertise is essential to the design process. During your six-month assignment, you will have the opportunity to contribute to these global activities. One purpose of these contributions is to scope out a permanent position for you.


Working with Farsight
Current and former personnel have noted the points below as positive features of Farsight’s work environment and culture:


  • The organization combines entrepreneurialism with a focus on social impact.

  • You work with highly diverse people and across a diversity of contexts.

  • There is a high level of trust that supports you to work autonomously.

  • The people in the Enterprise encourage innovation and experimentation.

  • You are never bored and always challenged.

Current and former personnel have noted the points below as negative features of Farsight’s work environment and culture:


  • Collaborating with geographically dispersed teams requires flexibility and patience.

  • Working remotely can make you feel isolated and so requires you to invest time in communication.

  • Travel schedules are heavy.

  • A high-growth phase means problem-solving as the Enterprise’s systems evolve quickly.

AN EXCELLENT CANDIDATE


To succeed in this position, you would start with the following:


A. At least seven years of monitoring and evaluation experience. We value experience in the development sector and experience in results management for organizations outside of the development sector.
B. Demonstrated capacity to design monitoring and evaluation frameworks and make decisions on methods. You will have successfully used approaches such as: combining quantitative and qualitative information for evaluation purposes; a theory of change; a logical framework; and a system to identify the most significant change.
C. A track record of effectively supervising teams.
D. Proficiency in English and Bahasa Indonesia for professional purposes.
