TOMAK – To’os Ba Moris Di’ak – Farming for Prosperity (Australian Aid)
Positions Vacant – Monitoring and Results Measurement Adviser (STTA)
To’os Ba Moris Diak Program (TOMAK) is a A$25 million, 5-year agricultural livelihoods program funded by the Australian Government in Timor-Leste. Its goal is to ensure rural households live more prosperous and sustainable lives. TOMAK will achieve this through parallel and linked interventions that aim to:
– Establish a foundation of food security and good nutrition for targeted rural communities.
– Build capacity so these communities can confidently and ably engage in profitable agricultural markets.
Component 1 (Market System Development) promotes the development of commercial agriculture following a market system development approach, focusing on selected higher-potential value chains.
Component 2 (Food Security and Nutrition) promotes nutrition-sensitive agriculture (NSA) approaches to improve the availability and utilisation of nutritious food.
Gender is embedded in the planning, implementation and monitoring of activities across the Program, promoting gender equality and women’s economic empowerment.
TOMAK is managed by Adam Smith International (ASI), in partnership with Mercy Corps Timor-Leste. ASI is seeking applications for the Monitoring and Results Measurement Adviser. This position will be roughly 120 days per year, with locally-based international consultants encouraged to apply.
The MRM Adviser will have key responsibility for the delivery of monitoring and evaluation activities for the TOMAK program, including under both Components 1 and 2 and cross-cutting gender work, to assess progress towards key outcomes over the remaining life of the program. The Adviser will manage the implementation of the MRM Plan, including direct inputs for key monitoring and assessment tasks as well as management of inputs provided by the national M&E Manager, implementing partners and short-term personnel.
The Adviser will be responsible for production of quantitative and qualitative evidence to support the MRM Plan, including linkages to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) Performance Assessment Framework (PAF). This will require close engagement with the M&E House program to supply quantitative program data against key PAF indicators, as well as the production of qualitative data using the Stories of Significant Change methodology.
The Adviser will be required to work closely with implementing partners and regional offices to oversee the effective use of the Beneficiary and Activity Database.
