Context
The Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist – Biodiversity and Nursery Management will support the effective monitoring, reporting, and results tracking of biodiversity conservation, ecosystem restoration, and nursery management interventions. The assignment is situated within a broader environmental and resilience programming context where restoration of degraded ecosystems, conservation of biodiversity, and strengthening of community-based nursery systems are key priorities.
The role is intended to strengthen evidence-based implementation by supporting the development of monitoring tools, indicator tracking systems, field verification mechanisms, and analytical reporting processes to assess progress, quality, and impact of project activities. The volunteer will contribute to data collection and validation, performance monitoring, documentation of lessons learned, and coordination with implementing partners and communities to improve accountability, adaptive management, and reporting of environmental results.
Through this assignment, the volunteer will support the generation of reliable evidence for programme decision-making and contribute to stronger biodiversity and ecosystem restoration outcomes.
