Deputy MEAL Manager — Solidarités International — Pemba

Deputy MEAL Manager — Pemba, Cabo Delgado

Solidarités International is looking for a Deputy MEAL Manager for its mission in northern Mozambique, based in Pemba, Cabo Delgado. The role exists so that the mission's decisions rest on real data: this is the function that helps base teams measure what projects are actually changing in people's lives, listen to communities and turn lessons learned into better programming.

Day to day, you will support the base teams in putting the monitoring, evaluation, accountability and learning strategy into practice across the whole project cycle.

Who is hiring

Solidarités International is an international humanitarian organisation that has been delivering emergency assistance in the north of the country since 2019, in an area marked by population displacement and cycles of insecurity. The Mozambique mission operates from Pemba, Mueda and Mocímboa da Praia and covers districts in the north of Cabo Delgado as well as areas further south, such as Metuge, Chiúre, Mecúfi and Ancuabe.

Programmes focus on rapid emergency response, water and sanitation, food security and livelihoods, and shelter. In 2025, funding cuts by a major donor forced a deep restructuring — and the mission kept operating and adapting its strategies. The announcement lists ECHO, SDC, CDCS, OCHA, IFSAN and UNICEF as current donors, alongside the exploration of new funding opportunities.

Your role

At the Pemba base, your work starts by giving structure to the MEAL strategy and runs through to the quality of the data underpinning every project. In practice, this means:

• Strategy: taking part in defining the multi-year strategy and annual programming based on evidence gathered throughout the project cycle, and supporting the building of the base's monitoring, evaluation and learning plan;
• Monitoring: supporting the creation of the monitoring system and the calendar of data-collection activities — collection methodology, questionnaire design, interviewer training, field supervision — guaranteeing the quality, processing and analysis of the data collected, with verification sources archived;
• Accountability: supporting complaints and feedback mechanisms — from designing the procedure to making it accessible to everyone in the operating area — including the formalised recording of complaints in a database that protects the data of complainants, equipaly handling of responses, and feeding the recommendations back into project planning;
• Evaluation and learning: promoting learning exercises with programme teams, supporting the formalisation and dissemination of lessons learned, and following up on the implementation of recommendations; taking part in MEAL communities of practice;
• Technical and methodological support: strengthening the capacities of programme teams in indicator measurement, data collection and analysis, and accountability to affected populations; harmonising methodologies and tools; supporting teams in integrating the gender dimension;
• Operations: contributing to the planning and supervision of MEAL activities in coordination with the programme, administration, finance, HR, logistics and security departments (MEAL plan, budget monitoring, cash-flow requests, procurement plan, recruitment), with regular field visits and early anticipation of implementation difficulties;
• Reporting and representation: taking part in drafting and submitting internal reports on equipa and the annexes required by donors; maintaining the local operational communication network (authorities, civil society) and representing the organisation in MEAL meetings and forums; reporting security-context information according to the internal procedure;
• People management: analysing your team's human-resource needs, recruiting and onboarding, appraising performance, training and supporting team members; preparing a handover report before the end of the contract;
• Integrity: contributing to a working environment that prevents inappropriate behaviour, respecting the confidentiality of reports and implementing measures to mitigate the risk of abuse; taking part, where applicable, in the verification of implementation partners.

The announcement stresses that the task list is not exhaustive and that other related tasks may be assigned by the line manager.

What the announcement does not say

The announcement does not publish a salary or benefits, and it does not state the contract duration or the intended starting date either. What the source does guarantee: the organisation does not charge any fee to apply at any stage of the process, and anyone attempting to bribe an employee will be automatically disqualified — the announcement asks that such cases be reported directly to the administrative department.
