At Last Mile Health (LMH), we dig data. Are you passionate about using research and evaluation to strengthen community health systems across Africa? If so, you may be the perfect fit to join the Africa Frontline First (AFF) Initiative as a Technical Assistance Evaluator.
Since 2023, the Africa Frontline First (AFF) Initiative has coordinated the delivery of technical assistance (TA) to strengthen community health systems and financing across a portfolio of 17 countries in Africa. AFF is now undertaking a comprehensive evaluation to assess the relevance, quality, utility, influence, and sustainability of these technical assistance efforts. The evaluation will document key results and lessons learned while generating actionable recommendations to strengthen the design and delivery of future technical assistance.
To support this work, AFF is recruiting two individual consultants to join the evaluation team. One consultant will primarily support Anglophone countries and one consultant (with fluency in French) will primarily support Francophone countries, as part of a team delivering on the defined evaluation framework.
Both consultants will play a central role in data collection, analysis, and reporting throughout the evaluation, under the guidance of an Evaluation Manager, Steering Committee and Evaluation Advisory Group. This work will involve extensive desk review of existing program documentation, design and implementation of a written survey, travel to two African countries each (two English-speaking and two Francophone) for primary data collection through KIIs and FGDs, and analysis of findings, validation workshops, and development of final presentation materials.
This is a remote consultancy open to candidates working within Europe and Africa time zones.
