Senior M&E Advisor for Climate Resilience Programs

United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)

UNDP is hiring a Senior Monitoring and Evaluation Advisor to lead M&E frameworks for climate resilience and adaptation projects. The role involves designing indicators, managing data systems, and conducting evaluations to inform policy. A master's degree in development, statistics, or environmental science is required, with a Diploma in Strategic Monitoring and Evaluation or Diploma in Climate Change being highly relevant. Strong quantitative and qualitative skills, plus experience with UN M&E standards, are critical.
### Strategic Analysis This role is at the intersection of climate action and evidence-based policy. As a Senior M&E Advisor, the incumbent will not only measure project outcomes but also shape UNDP's strategic direction by providing data-driven insights that influence policy at national and global levels. In the humanitarian landscape, where climate change exacerbates vulnerabilities, robust monitoring and evaluation are critical for adaptive management, accountability to affected populations, and ensuring that resources are effectively deployed. This position underscores a shift towards proactive, climate-resilient development, where rigorous evidence is the foundation for sustainable impact. The advisor will bridge the gap between field-level data and high-level decision-making, making this role pivotal in the fight against climate change and its humanitarian consequences.
