GIZ Vacancy for Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning (MEL) Specialist

Duty Station: Kathmandu

Responsibilities

The project is active in the sectors of public transport and electric mobility and is partnering with multiple stakeholders such as government authorities, official institutions, donors and development partners, private banks, PTOs, EV suppliers, the supplier of charging stations and an e-ticketing ecosystem and other stakeholders. Many of the project activities require technical expertise in the sectors of electric vehicles, charging stations, public transport, financing, documentation & reporting, stakeholder management, and project management.

Therefore, the project intends to hire an expert to provide technical and qualitative input in these fields. The expert should not only have specific technical knowledge in the mentioned areas but should also be able to think independently and creatively to develop the project beyond its core targets.

The position holder is responsible for:

• MEL system design and management: Maintain and improve the SET4NPL Operational Plan, Gantt chart, results framework, indicator tracker and Theory of Change. Operationalise the MEL plan in line with MAF and GIZ reporting requirements, GIZ Safeguards+Gender standards, and the project's risk and gender action plans. Maintain data protocols, dashboards and tracking tools for the five Intermediate Outcomes 

• Measuring catalytic contribution: Adapt the M&E framework to capture the project's catalytic and accelerative effects in a fast-moving market, where output counts (vehicles, loans, e-ticketing, trainings) alone may over- or under-state contribution. Develop contribution/attribution indicators aligned to the MAF Transformational Change Measurement Framework, including a partner vs. non-partner bank lending comparison, reconciliation of project-linked figures against independently verified data, and steps toward quantifying additional GHG savings.

• Data collection, analysis and quality assurance: Coordinate primary and secondary data collection across the project (PTOs, EV suppliers, charging operators, e- ticketing, banks, government). Quality-assure indicator data, conduct verification visits, and lead quantitative and qualitative analysis (passenger surveys, avoided- emissions modelling, financial monitoring, gender-disaggregated data), flagging data limitations so attribution claims stay appropriately qualified.

• Reporting: Lead the half-yearly and annual Project Progress Reports to MAF, consolidating partner inputs and keeping the reporting document current. Prepare GIZ and donor-facing reports, risk and GESI reports, briefing notes, dashboards and minutes of key meetings. Ensure timely, accurate submission of all M&E deliverables – mainly in English.

• Evaluation and learning: Manage independent evaluations (final and ad-hoc) and track management responses to the 2026 mid-term ELE, including the five Amber- rated Outcomes and M&E recommendations. Document lessons, run learning workshops, and feed evidence into decisions on e-ticketing scale-up, LTV advocacy and partnership posture.

• Knowledge management and visibility of results: Maintain the evidence base, case studies and impact stories. Supply the PR & Communications function with verified data, and contribute to MAF/IKI knowledge products, peer-learning events and replication briefs.

• Stakeholder management: Engage GGGI, PTOs, ministries, NEA, NRB, banks, development partners and consultants on M&E topics; coordinate joint monitoring missions and donor evaluation engagements.

• Other supporting work and tasks as required.
