About Job Profile

Monitoring, Evaluation and Assessment

The WRI India Ross Centre for Sustainable Cities is seeking to fill a full-time position to advance Adaptation and Resilience Finance work in Indian cities. To adhere to the net-zero commitments and stay under the 1.5-2 degrees Celsius temperature rise by 2030, it is estimated that climate projects in India require 120 billion USD annually. Despite the climate imperative, cities in the global south continue to face barriers which limit access to finance for A&R projects.

Funding for A&R projects continue to depend on public finance capacities of the cities and meeting the private sectors’ expectations of risk and return. This project gives an opportunity to engage with bilateral and multilateral agencies, project preparation support facilities, and philanthropic foundations for mobilizing funds to be invested in A&R projects in pilot cities.

Primary Responsibilities include

 

  • Develop and implement a comprehensive MEL plan aligned with the project’s goals and objectives, focusing on urban adaptation and resilience finance.
  • Design and implement monitoring tools and frameworks to track project progress, measure key performance indicators (KPIs), and assess the impact of interventions on climate resilience.
  • Collect and analyse data related to project activities, financial resources, and outcomes.
  • Prepare regular reports for project stakeholders, including donors. These reports should clearly communicate project progress, challenges, and lessons learned.
  • Conduct evaluations to assess the project’s effectiveness in achieving its intended outcomes and identify areas for improvement.
  • Contribute to the development of knowledge products such as case studies, policy briefs and best practices related to adaptation and resilience finance.
  • Help develop knowledge products such as case studies, best practices guides, and policy briefs to share project learnings with a wider audience.
  • Work collaboratively with project staff, technical experts, and city authorities to ensure a participatory approach to MEL activities.

 

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:

 

  • Strong understanding of monitoring and evaluation principles and methodologies.
  • Experience with data collection, analysis, and visualization tools.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
  • Experience working on urban adaptation and resilience projects is a plus.
  • Knowledge of climate finance mechanisms relevant to urban development is a plus.
  • Experience with social impact measurement tools.
