Description

About ICARDA

The International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) is a treaty-based international non-profit research organization supported by CGIAR.ICARDA’s mission is to reduce poverty, enhance food, water, and nutritional security, as well as environmental health in the face of global challenges including climate change. We do this through innovative science, strategic partnerships, linking research to development and capacity development that take into account gender equality and the role of youth in transforming the dry areas. ICARDA works in partnership with governments, universities, civil society, national agricultural research organization, other CGIAR Research Centers, and the private sector. With its temporary Headquarters in Beirut, Lebanon, ICARDA operates in regional and country offices across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. For more information: www.icarda.org

All CGIAR Centers are currently engaged into a reform process (“One CGIAR’”) that will help ICARDA and CGIAR achieve better impact through more strategically integrated research, unified governance, an integrated structure, and new research modalities across participating Research Centers. This transformation is supported by CGIAR donors who have committed to increased funding as a result of these reforms.

 

Purpose of the Research Fellowship position

To ensure that it is fit for purpose, through enhanced organizational effectiveness, ICARDA adopted a results-based management (RBM) system, mainstreamed across and beyond the organization, under the custodianship of the ICARDA MEL team.

The ICARDA MEL team staff are located in several countries across the globe and work collaboratively with MEL, Data and Knowledge Management teams from the CGIAR System, other CGIAR centres and Research Programs, and non-CGIAR entities.

To further champion results-based management at ICARDA, associated CGIAR centers and research programs, ICARDA seeks to hire a self-driven and competent ‘MEL Research Fellow’. The selected individual, under the guidance of the M&E Specialist, will contribute to the design and enhancement of Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) systems and tools.
