Description
IntraHealth International is currently seeking a Monitoring Evaluation & Learning (MEL) Director for an upcoming USAID opportunity for Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (VMMC) activity in Tanzania under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).

About the Project
The project will build upon achievements of previous USAID-funded VMMC project and support the Government of Tanzania (GoT) through a five-year period to reduce new HIV infections and increase ownership of the VMMC program through scaling-up and sustaining VMMC coverage of 95 percent in five USAID supported regions, provide technical support for integration of VMMC into GoT’s routine health care service, and transition the VMMC services to GoT in line with the national sustainability plan by 2028. This activity consists of three main objectives: (1) expand access to safe, high-quality VMMC services for boys and men 15 years and above, (2) increase demand for and use of VMMC services, and (3) improve country ownership for continuity of integrated sustainable VMMC services.

Once learnings have been generated, s/he will guide teams in how to adapt their programming to improve performance. Additionally, S/He will provide M&E technical assistance, training, coaching and mentoring to the MOH, PORALG, R/CHMTs and implementing partners to promote and institutionalize data use for timely decision making at all levels of implementation to improve efficiency and effectiveness while working towards transitioning services to Government of Tanzania for sustainability.
