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.
