Project Coordinator – (Nursing/Midwifery Background) – Nairobi
Key Responsibilities:
- Coordinate site activation for evaluation activities across countries, including tracking the status of ethics approvals, data-use agreements, and regulatory clearances as led by in-country implementation partners, where required for evaluation.
- Maintain country-level and master trackers covering site readiness, tool adoption, data collection timelines, operational risks, mitigation actions, and facility performance milestones.
- Manage and monitor operational schedules for routine evaluation data collection cycles, ensuring alignment with agreed timelines and escalation of delays.
- Track and support facility adoption and routine use of standardised evaluation tools, via in-country implementation and MEAL partner leads.
- Oversee routine capture and transmission of evaluation-relevant QI event logs, coordinating through MEAL partners to ensure timely documentation of operational disruptions (equipment downtime, staffing gaps, stockouts, environmental constraints).
- Escalate evaluation-relevant operational issues to scientific and data workstream leads, and coordinate follow-up actions with in-country implementation partners.
- Support evaluation-facing learning and review meetings (e.g. QI reviews, cross-site learning sessions) through partner coordination, ensuring outputs inform assessment of implementation fidelity and system performance.
- Coordinate evaluation-related site visits, trainings, and refresher sessions focused on data documentation standards, tool completion, and use of evaluation outputs, in collaboration with implementation partners.
- Serve as the primary evaluation liaison with in-country implementation and MEAL leads, rather than with hospital or facility staff.
- Coordinate logistics for evaluation partner meetings, cross-country learning events, and SDoC (Social Determinants of Care) sessions.
- Track and consolidate operational inputs for funder reporting, including site activation status, data completeness, risks, mitigation actions, and progress against agreed milestones.
