الوصف الوظيفي:
Background
The Palestinian Investment Preparation Facility Project is a World Bank–financed initiative implemented by the Ministry of Finance and Planning (MoFP). PIPFP supports the Government's efforts to build a pipeline of high-quality, investment-ready projects across priority sectors of the Palestinian economy, primarily through demand-driven technical assistance, feasibility studies, project preparation activities, and institutional capacity-building within MoFP.

Effective monitoring and evaluation is central to PIPFP's accountability to the World Bank, MoFP leadership, and broader stakeholders. The Project Results Framework sets out a set of performance indicators that track progress across the project's components—spanning institutional strengthening, investment preparation, and project management—and the Project Operations Manual (POM) contains the Project Monitoring Plan (PMP) that specifies data sources, collection methods, baselines, targets, and reporting responsibilities for each indicator. MoFP is therefore seeking to appoint a qualified M&E Specialist to anchor this function within the Project Implementation Unit (PIU).

Assignment Objective
The M&E Specialist will lead the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of PIPFP's monitoring and evaluation function. The Specialist will be the primary custodian of the Project Monitoring Plan (PMP) and the Results Framework, ensuring that all project components generate reliable, timely, and decision-relevant data. The Specialist will serve as the central coordinator for M&E-related reporting across the PIU and will work under the direct supervision of the PIU Team Lead.
