Job Summary

The MEAL Officer provides monitoring, evaluation, accountability and learning systems and support across CARE Philippines’ humanitarian programming.

The role carries primary responsibility for the Sarangani Earthquake Early Recovery Project and provides MEAL support for CARE’s humanitarian preparedness and emergency response portfolio, of which the CARE Emergency Response Fund is one mechanism.

Responsibilities and Tasks

Monitoring and data systems — 25%

• Design and administer baseline and post-distribution monitoring surveys, and other monitoring surveys as needed throughout implementation, collected by MEAL enumerators independent of the distribution team to avoid conflict of interest.
• Maintain the project’s indicator tracking system, updating it against source data such as distribution lists and session attendance at least monthly, and reconciling any gap between reported and verified figures before it is used in a report.
• Conduct data verification spot-checks on a minimum of 10% of distribution records each month, comparing system-recorded data against physical or digital source documents, and log discrepancies for follow-up.

Accountability and feedback management — 20%

• Operate the community feedback and complaints mechanism — hotline, suggestion boxes and in-person channel at distribution sites — in the local language, logging every complaint received with a case number, category and target resolution date, and following up until closure.
• Refer any safeguarding or PSEA-related complaint to CARE’s PSEA focal point and reporting mechanism within 24 hours of receipt, following CARE’s mandatory reporting timeline.
• Brief field staff on feedback handling procedures at project mobilisation, and again at any point the mechanism or referral pathway changes, confirming staff can correctly triage a complaint by category.
• Compile a monthly feedback analysis identifying recurring themes or complaint clusters — for example repeated complaints about a specific barangay or process step — and share findings with the Project Manager to inform course correction.

Humanitarian preparedness and emergency response MEAL support — 20%

• Maintain a ready-to-deploy rapid assessment kit — survey tools, sampling approach and data collection app configuration — with the Humanitarian Response Officer, tested through at least one simulation or drill during the project period.
• Deploy to, or remotely support, a rapid needs assessment within the activation timeframe, and produce a post-activation report covering indicators achieved, expenditure and lessons learned within 10 working days of activation close.
• Set up a community feedback channel appropriate to each activation context, such as a hotline or in-person desk, within the first days of an activation, briefing deployed staff on referral procedures.

Learning and documentation — 15%

• Organise and facilitate the After Action Review at project closeout, and after each emergency response activation, using a structured format that captures what worked, what did not, and specific recommendations, with participation from all technical staff.
• Maintain a central, current record of Program Quality, safeguarding and related staff training completion across the project team, flagging expired or missing certifications to the Head of Programs, HACDR.
• Write up lessons learned in a standard template — issue, root cause, recommendation — and file them where future project design teams can find and use them, not only in a closeout report.

Reporting and data consolidation — 15%

• Prepare MEAL sections of internal management and donor reports on the reporting cycle agreed with the Project Manager.
• Populate donor report templates with verified output and outcome data, cross-checked against the indicator tracking system before submission.

• Experience facilitating participatory, adult-learning approaches
• Experience working with NGOs, humanitarian, or development organizations (highly desirable)
• Strong facilitation, communication, and presentation skills
• Ability to contextualize Kaizen/Lean principles beyond manufacturing, into service, NGO, or emergency-response settings

Scope of Work Highlights

The selected provider will consult with CARE Philippines to identify relevant operational examples, design and facilitate a highly participatory one-day training, lead at least one cross-functional end-to-end simulation, guide participants through practice process mapping and root-cause analysis, and deliver a training completion report with recommendations for Days 2 and 3.

Key Deliverables

• Detailed one-day training design and methodology
• Training materials, presentations, exercises, and templates
• Facilitation of the one-day Kaizen training
• Practical outputs: process maps, root-cause analyses, and an initial improvement-opportunity backlog
