International Consultant to develop Implementation Monitoring and Evaluation Division (IMED), M&E Framework, Act, Rules and Training Modules, Dhaka, Bangladesh, 7.5 months, Remote with travel

The Implementation Monitoring and Evaluation Division (IMED) under Ministry of Planning supports the effective implementation of the Annual Development Programme (ADP) and contributes to Bangladesh’s broader development vision. The Perspective Plan, Five-Year Plans and ADP have placed special emphasis on IMED’s role, with increasing attention to introducing results-based management norms and procedures to promote more accountable and effective implementation of ADP projects. It is against this backdrop that UNICEF is supporting IMED to develop its Monitoring and Evaluation Framework, Act and Rules to ensure effective investment and socio-economic development through monitoring and evaluation of development projects, transparency and efficiency. This initiative will strengthen results-based management, align national systems and ensure systematic generation and use of evidence in planning, budgeting, and policy decisions. UNICEF therefore is calling for applications for an international consultant to lead the assignment. The consultant will work hand in hand with a national consultant to carry out the assignment.
