Job Description
Job Title: M&E And Data Manager
PATH is seeking M&E and Data Manager to provide technical direction for the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of the Access Accelerated (AA) funded Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) prevention and control program in Ghana. The project goal is to advance the Ghanaian NCD strategy through targeted, coordinated multi-sectoral action. The objective is to identify synergies in NCD program implementation across sectors and partners in-country, thereby maximizing the effectiveness of limited resources to reduce Ghana’s NCD burden.
Position Purpose
The M&E and Data Manager will provide technical leadership for the M&E portion of the AA funded NCD prevention and control program in Ghana. S/he will support the development of the M&E framework, the introduction of the NCD Global Assessment Framework (NGAF) and update national health information systems in the country. The incumbent will manage the full data lifecycle for the project, including design, data collection, data visualization, analysis, and reporting. The M&E and Data manager will approach NCDs data gathering and multi-sectoral stakeholder engagement through the lens of health system strengthening and capacity-building, coordination, and long-term sustainability and resource mobilization. To ensure compliance with partner organization protocols and PATH’s organizational policies, s/he will also develop and maintain critical relationships with in-country stakeholders including officers of the Ministry of Health, Ghana Health Service, donors, and implementing partners from the private sector. The position also serves a liaison to PATH HQ’s M&E department to ensure timely and adequate support.
Our four-year vision is to transform the non-communicable disease (NCD) response by empowering stakeholders through information and data and technical guidance, thus strengthening health systems and increasing demand for prevention and care. This, in turn, will lead to increased access to high-quality, consistent NCD screening and care services, essential commodities, and prevention information, ultimately decreasing NCD-related morbidity and mortality.
