To guide effective implementation of the EU-TAF, the project seeks a Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Specialist. The Specialist will revise and adjust the project’s Logical Framework (LogFrame) based on recent developments, support the project’s Results-Based Monitoring and Evaluation Plan, as well as develop methodologies, systems, and tools to ensure evidence-based performance monitoring. The M&E Specialist will work within a coordinated and systems-strengthening approach under the supervision of the Senior Programme Manager of Expertise France. The position requires close collaboration with the Senior Programme Manager and PMU team in Ghana, as well as other colleagues from all IPs as part of the wider EU-TAF team.

The work will build on all tools, approaches, and reporting that have been undertaken during the first 3 years of implementation of the programme.
