Monitoring and Evaluation Summer Intern

WhizzKids United is currently undergoing changes to its monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system as it moves from a paper-based to electronic database. The organization requires an individual with an interest in data collection, analysis, and dissemination to work with the M&E Officer to implement WKU’s new M&E strategy which includes assessment of existing data, leading data analysis, and communicating M&E results to both internal and external stakeholders. The intern will be responsible for supporting the M&E team to create dashboards and tools to support the validation, analysis, and communication of both quantitative and qualitative data. Additionally, the intern will be responsible for building capacity among existing staff for data analysis, primarily through Microsoft Excel.

We are seeking a highly motivated individual with good organizational, analytical, and communication skills. The candidate must be able to work on a team, identify basic problems as they arise, independently seek out basic resources or solutions, and have a commitment to seeing the empowerment of others.

The intern will report directly to the Head of Operations at WKU. Interested applicants should send a cover letter and resume to recruiting@africaid.org.uk . We regret that compensation for this position cannot be provided at this time.
