About the role
This interview tests your ability to design and lead monitoring and evaluation for complex public programmes. The panel wants practical indicators, robust data quality controls, proportionate evaluation methods and evidence that you can turn findings into better delivery rather than reports that sit unused.
How to prepare
- Practise building a results chain and defining indicators with clear sources and responsibilities.
- Prepare an example of finding and correcting a data quality problem across delivery sites.
- Review evaluation options for situations with limited baselines, comparison groups or time.
- Think through how to communicate disappointing findings to programme leaders and field teams.
- Check the official vacancy notice for the current mandate and recruitment requirements.
Common mistakes
- Using indicators that are vague, expensive to collect or disconnected from decisions.
- Treating reported figures as reliable without verification.
- Claiming attribution when the evaluation design supports only association.
- Presenting findings without clear ownership of follow-up actions.
