About the Role
This is an opportunity to shape the MEL function at a

- Support
outcome measurement and learning: Analyze program results,

reports and dashboards: Develop regular dashboards and reporting
packs for management, board review, and external reporting.
- Strengthen
farmer feedback: Create practical ways for farmers to share their
experience and ensure feedback informs program improvement.
