Roles and Responsibilities:

o Lead the development and implementation of a comprehensive MEAL strategy aligned with SWRW’s mission to reduce road traffic crashes in Uganda.

o Provide technical guidance to program teams in designing logical frameworks, indicators, and results-based monitoring systems.

o Design and oversee the implementation of tools, methodologies, and systems for collecting high-quality, timely, and relevant program data.

o Monitor progress toward project objectives, track key road safety indicators, and flag underperformance for corrective action.

o Ensure the integration of GIS/mapping, accident reporting, and traffic data into program monitoring.

o Lead the planning and execution of baseline, midline, and endline evaluations for all road safety interventions and pilot projects.

o Commission or conduct impact assessments to determine the effectiveness of behavior change, infrastructure, or policy initiatives.

o Support learning around innovations such as non-motorized transport corridors or school zone safety interventions.

o Develop and maintain accountability frameworks that enable community feedback, complaints, and response mechanisms.

o Ensure program designs incorporate community voices, especially vulnerable road users (children, pedestrians, cyclists).

o Facilitate regular learning sessions, after-action reviews, and evidence-sharing events with staff, partners, and stakeholders.

o Document and disseminate case studies, best practices, lessons learned, and success stories from SWRW programs.

o Strengthen internal knowledge management and promote adaptive programming based on data and evidence.

o Build MEAL capacity within SWRW by training staff and partners on M&E tools, data use, accountability systems, and evaluation techniques.

o Support field teams in embedding MEAL practices into day-to-day project management.

o Produce high-quality, data-driven reports for donors, partners, and national stakeholders.

o Ensure timely and accurate submissions of performance reports, evaluation findings, and data dashboards.

o Contribute MEAL sections to project proposals and grant reports.

o Work closely with government agencies (e.g., Ministry of Works and Transport, Uganda Police), NGOs, and academic institutions on data sharing and joint learning.

o Participate in national road safety forums, technical working groups, and research collaborations. Required Qualifications:

o Post Graduate Diploma in Monitoring and Evaluation, BSc, in Economics, Statistics, Data Science, Public Health, Project Management or related fields with strong M&E training, Additional training or certification in Monitoring and Evaluation, data management are a strong asset.
