- Orient USAID staff/field staff/subcontractors on the new/revised qualitative data collection tools, and protocols.
- Review, analyze, and synthesize qualitative data to ensure logical inferences and conclusions are drawn from the findings.
- Triangulate MV&R findings with routine program and evaluation data to provide further insight into program effectiveness and identify opportunities for learning.
- Generate and disseminate synthesized reports and presentations that are tailored to the intended audience.
Qualifications
- At least 5 years of overseas experience in international development conducting qualitative research.
