Support programme teams by facilitating RBM-focused learning sessions, clinics, and workshops to strengthen the application of RBM principles and practices.
Lead the provision of tools, guidance, and process inputs to the software and application development team for the establishment of a web-based results tracking system.

Deliver targeted RBM coaching, mentoring, and on-the-job technical support to programme and project staff.
Develop practical quality assurance tools, including checklists and concise guidance notes, to support projects in developing theories of change, results frameworks, and project-level monitoring strategies.
The RBM Specialist may also be required to perform other RBM-related tasks within the scope of the assignment, as requested by the supervisor.
