Short-Term Evaluator

ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

Internews is seeking a short-term consultant to compile an evaluation report on the Humanitarian Information Dashboard. The Humanitarian Information Dashboard (HID) and data collection and analysis processes support Internews’ belief that community level information is essential to effective humanitarian relief. The platform aggregates data collected from affected communities and acts as a bespoke platform for visualizing data to give humanitarian responders localized insights into community information needs and trends. The HID has gone through several development iterations over the past 5 years, and the Humanitarian team are commissioning an external evaluation of the HID platform and associated methodologies, to inform future strategy and investment. This is a remote-first, short-term consultancy. We anticipate that the scope will require approximately 10 working days to complete.

LOGISTICS

This is a remote-based, part-time, short-term consultancy. All remote candidates will be considered; however, you must have work authorization in your location that does not require sponsorship from Internews.

Wherever possible, we work to try to find solutions for international hiring that work for both the company and the candidate. This means that some of the particulars around the offer for a role will be dependent on several factors, and that the benefits and salary structure that apply to a position will ultimately be based upon the candidate’s location and where the role is hired.

SCOPE OF WORK
