They will ensure knowledge is iteratively captured, shared, and applied, support feedback loops between field support activities and learning, and promote a culture of adaptive management and evidence-based practices. Working closely with the Chief of Party (COP), the KM Lead will identify pathways of supporting knowledge sharing, communication, and networking across the program and Agency. This position is full-time. The preferred location for this position is in the Washington, DC area. The position is contingent upon award and for the duration of five years with a possible extension.
