This position requires close coordination with programme, finance, MEAL, supply chain, HR, and partner teams to ensure timely, accurate, and evidence-based reporting. The manager will serve as the focal point for compliance monitoring, risk tracking, and corrective action follow-up, thereby supporting effective project delivery and institutional learning. The context demands high integrity, strong analytical skills, and the ability to manage multiple deadlines in a complex consortium environment, while upholding commitments to gender equality, safeguarding, inclusion, and accountability.

Support capacity strengthening of partners on donor compliance, reporting standards, documentation, budgeting, data quality and accountability, based on identified gaps.
Escalate material inconsistencies, suspected fraud, poor performance or significant compliance concerns through the appropriate ACF reporting and investigation channels.
Objective 4: To ensure strong evidence, data quality and consistency for project reporting
Coordinate with the Consortium MEAL Manager and relevant ACF/partner teams to ensure reported results are supported by reliable, verified and appropriately disaggregated data.
Cross-check reported achievements against the project logframe, indicators, activity trackers, monitoring findings, beneficiary records and other source documents.
