ABOUT PROSPER PROJECT

The Resilience, Opportunities, and Sustainability through Partnerships for Empowerment (PROSPER) Project is a five-year initiative (2025–2030) funded by Global Affairs Canada (GAC) and implemented by Cowater International, with a total budget of CAD 15 million. The project seeks to enhance economic resilience and prosperity for vulnerable groups—particularly women and female youth—in the agribusiness and Renewable Energy/Energy Efficiency (RE/EE) sectors in the West Bank.

PROSPER aims to create sustainable economic opportunities by strengthening gender-responsive and inclusive participation through skills development, improved access to resources—such as clean and efficient energy solutions—and enhanced market access, to empower women and youth to engage meaningfully in climate-resilient and sustainable economic activities.

ABOUT THE POSITION
Cowater International is recruiting a local Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) Officer for its PROSPER Project.  The MEL Officer will support the implementation of the project’s overall MEL system, ensuring performance aligns with the quality standards of Global Affairs Canada (GAC) and Cowater International.

The MEL Officer will support the implementation of the PROSPER MEL Framework, including monitoring performance indicators, facilitating baseline and endline data collection and reporting, and ensuring regular data collection and reporting aligned with the project’s logic model and Performance Measurement Framework (PMF).

Additionally, the MEL Officer will contribute to evidence-based decision-making through regular data collection, analysis, and reporting. The role also involves designing and implementing various quantitative and qualitative data collection tools (e.g., surveys, pre/post assessments, polls, interviews, focus group discussions, key informant interviews, etc.). Proficiency in digital data collection systems, tool development, data analysis, and data visualization is essential.
