Strategic M&E and Grants Management Consultant

International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)

The consultant will provide expert advice on strategic monitoring and evaluation, and grants management for ICRC's global programs. Duties include developing M&E frameworks, analyzing data for strategic decision-making, and supporting donor reporting. The ideal candidate has a degree in development, economics, or related field, with 5+ years of experience in M&E and grants management, preferably in humanitarian contexts. Strong analytical and project management skills are essential.
### Strategic Analysis This role is a linchpin in the humanitarian sector, bridging the gap between field operations and strategic oversight. By developing robust M&E frameworks, the consultant ensures that ICRC's interventions are evidence-based and adaptable to complex crises. In an era of shrinking humanitarian space and increasing donor scrutiny, effective grants management is not just about compliance but about building trust and ensuring resources are used where they matter most. The focus on data analysis for strategic decision-making reflects a sector-wide shift towards outcome-oriented programming, where learning and accountability drive impact. This position is critical because it enables organizations to demonstrate effectiveness, attract funding, and ultimately save more lives. As humanitarian needs grow, professionals who can translate data into action are indispensable, making this role a cornerstone of modern aid delivery.
