Responsibilities & Context:
∎ Founded in 1933, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) is one of the world’s leading agencies working in post-conflict and development contexts, supporting communities in over 40 fragile, failed and developing states. In this capacity, we work to restore safety, dignity and hope to millions who are uprooted, struggling to endure and wishing to advance on a path of development.
∎ The IRC has been present in Bangladesh since 2017 and obtained registration with the NGOAB in March 2018. Since the IRC obtained registration in March 2018, it has moved quickly to expand its integrated emergency health and protection response through both direct and partner-based programming focused on primary healthcare, women’s protection and empowerment, sexual and reproductive health, gender-based violence and child protection. Through 2018, the IRC’s response strategy will primarily target Rohingya refugees in Cox’s Bazar, while meeting the significant needs in both refugee and host populations, as already existing vulnerabilities are compounded with cyclical monsoon and cyclone seasons that impose additional threats to the lives and protection of those refugees as well as vulnerable host populations. IRC Bangladesh’s strategic vision is to protect, empower and meet the needs of the most vulnerable women, children and youth through technical expertise and partnerships in the areas of integrated protection, health, education and economic wellbeing before, during, and after displacement caused by conflict and climate-induced disaster. IRC will grow over time its geographic coverage within Cox bazar and to other parts of the country, thus expand its’ networks and partnerships around emergency preparedness and response work, reach beyond the Rohingya refugees, also targeting the vulnerable host communities in Cox Bazar and Southern parts of Bangladesh.

The other purpose of the Sr. MEAL Officer position is to provide guidance and support to the partner organization in establishing and maintaining project MEAL systems.
∎ The Sr. MEAL officer will maintain a centralized database of indicators for IRC and will ensure that all project (s/he is responsible for) data collection systems are appropriate for each sector and are responsive to the program's data collection needs. This role must familiarize him/herself with the program components, activities, and donor reporting requirements. The Sr. MEAL officer will review and consolidate data from multiple indicators and sectors on a daily basis and will be responsible for providing daily reports through the MEAL system to technical coordinators, managers, and others who review data.
∎ The Sr. MEAL officer will collaborate with all technical coordinators, project coordinators, managers, partners and facility in charge to train their teams on the correct use of data collection tools and to adapt the M&E systems for their sector's needs. This role will be responsible for regularly reporting progress on indicators internally and externally, particularly to donors and clusters.
