Job Overview:

The Violence Prevention and Response Technical Unit (VPRU) provides dynamic support to IRC's country offices on protection programming—including direct technical assistance to country program staff—ensuring innovation, promotion of standards, and improvements for all protection programming implemented by the organization.

This includes work across the streams of women's protection and empowerment (WPE), child protection (CP), and protection rule of law (PRoL), as well as cross-cutting/integrated protection approaches.

As part of VPRU's MEAL team, the VPRU MEAL Advisor provides critical support to help systematize VPRU monitoring systems, strengthen quality and alignment of our global data, and build a team culture of collaborative learning and reflection.

As part of this role, the VPRU MEAL Advisor will work closely with the IRC Measurement Unit and peers to directly support, manage and coordinate key activities related to global monitoring systems and data quality, such as VPRU's Annual Statistics processes, Core Indicator revisions and socialization, Program Indicator Dashboard rollout, data toolkit development, etc.

Beyond data collection systems and quality, the Advisor will also work with protection country
- and regional-facing colleagues to strengthen internal team MEAL comfort, capacity, and guidance to analyze, interpret, and meaningfully use different types of data across VPRU's global programming (in close collaboration with the VPRU Senior MEAL Advisor). In addition to these cross-cutting tasks, the Advisor may also support MEAL activities for a limited number of VPRU-led projects.

The Advisor will work closely with the VPRU MEAL team, VPRU technical leadership and technical advisors (TAs), and country program teams as they strengthen MEAL systems and promote consistency, quality, reflection, and use across IRC's global protection data.

Major Responsibilities:

Lead Systematization, Quality Review, and Use of Protection Data Related to Country Programs (primary role)
Lead and coordinate VPRU's engagement in the Annual Statistics process, including liaising between the IRC Measurement Unit, VPRU TAs, and country programs on preparation, training, data quality review, and data analysis and reflection processes
Update and streamline IRC Core Indicators for protection across sectors (in collaboration with senior technical leadership), including (i) development and refining of any new protection indicators and frameworks and (ii) supporting socialization, uptake, and use of Core Indicators with VPRU team
Develop, refine, and validate new and existing monitoring tools and approaches for key indicators
Support rollout and socialization of IRC Program Indicator Dashboards among VPRU colleagues, including support to TAs on related interpretation and decisionmaking with country teams
Lead development and rollout of data toolkits for specific protection interventions with the IRC Measurement Unit (MU), including drafting of select toolkits
Provide ongoing training and capacity building with protection colleagues both within VPRU and with country programs, as needed on core protection MEAL competencies, tools, different types of data, analysis, interpretation, and meaningful use of data for decision making
Collaborate with VPRU colleagues to identify further approaches to strengthen global data quality, triangulate different types of data, and explore how data can be used for protectionfocused advocacy, communication, and programmatic decisions
Provide Ongoing Direct Technical Support to VPRU Projects
Independently lead and manage MEAL activities for a limited number of VPRUled grants, while working closely with VPRU technical advisors (TAs), specialists, and MEAL staff. We currently anticipate this role will support a single project for FY24 on Protection Case Management
Support Broader Learning Strategies, Guidance, and Resources for VPRU MEAL
Provide ad hoc support to other VPRU team members for discrete MEALrelated tasks, as needed
Support the creation and rollout of core MEAL guidance and resources for VPRU teams
