The Program
The Fiji Program Support Facility (the Facility) was established in 2017 to support and implement Australia’s aid programs such as health, education, disaster resilience and governance in Fiji. The Facility also supports the Australia Awards in Fiji and Tuvalu. The Facility integrates cross-cutting themes, including gender equality, disability and social inclusion, climate change and disaster risk reduction across its sectoral programs. In particular, the Facility seeks to strengthen program outcomes by better addressing the needs of targeted beneficiaries including those who are often marginalised.
Australia’s Fiji Education Program works in close partnership with Fiji’s Ministry of Education. It is focused on improving Fiji’s literacy and numeracy curricula, building teacher skills, embedding inclusive practices, and enhancing use of data and other information for decision-making.
The Position
The MEL Coordinator will take a leading role assessing the Education Program’s performance, providing decision-makers with the information they need, when they need it. The position will maintain the Education Program’s results framework, visit schools around Fiji, collect a range of evidence, and evaluate the performance of various aspects of the Program. This role will convene talanoas involving the Education Program, DFAT and Ministry of Education staff and other stakeholders to talk about results and how to improve Program performance. They will also lead the Program’s reporting to DFAT, writing clear, concise reports on our development results.
As a member of the broader Facility MEL team, the Specialist will contribute to the Facility’s broader MEL approach through advice on MEL tools, processes and guidance.
