Responsible for the overall Monitoring, Evaluation, Learning (MEL) and Knowledge Management system of the programme, ensuring programme performance meets client, corporate and programme quality standards.

Monitoring, evaluation, learning, research, knowledge management and dissemination are key aspects of CSEPS, and are enshrined within the Programme’s logical framework.

The Citizen-State Engagement Programme for Sudan (CSEPS) is a 42 month, £7m DFID-funded programme, managed by the British Council.  The programme aims to contribute to strengthened citizen-state relationships and citizen-citizen relationships in areas targeted.  At the outcome level, CSEPS aims to contribute to a critical mass of diverse civil society actors with improved capability to lead shared discourse and vision for a more equitable, peaceful and inclusive Sudan and to engage with other key stakeholders to work towards this vision through practical collaboration on issues which matter to people locally. 

The programme will deliver support against five output areas:

Output 1: Civil society’s capability to shape and lead by example is supported (delivered through grants and direct or indirect capacity building)

Output 2: Joint civil society-Local Authority action on governance issues is supported (delivered through strategic investment and technical support)

Output 3: Constituency confidence building (especially women and youth) supported (delivered through design and delivery of projects)

Output 4: Media and communications focus on civil society issues supported (delivered through programme facilitation)

Output 5: Knowledge, and learning (delivered through relevant communications and research partners in the form of grants or contracts)

The post holder will be located in the project management office in Khartoum and will undertake regular travel to the Programme’s selected locations.
