IWRAW Asia Pacific is an international women’s rights, feminist organisation committed to the full realisation of women’s human rights through the pursuit of equality. Our politics push us to disrupt the forces of anti-rights, right-wing populism and extremism, and corporate and state capture. Together with women’s groups and marginalised communities in the Global South, we challenge structures, systems and institutions that violate women’s human rights, and organise, mobilise and collaboratively build a body of political knowledge and analysis, so as to demand accountability of state and non-state actors.
We root our praxis in feminist values of diversity and inclusion, equality and non-discrimination, respect and integrity, and in the value of recognising the personal strength of women and girls and having faith in ourselves and in other women. Intersectionality is a key part of our advocacy and strategies. We aim in all our work to take into account the multiple forms of discrimination and exclusion that impact the lives of women and marginalised communities in the Global South.
Programme Officer – Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL)
IWRAW Asia Pacific is hiring a Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL) Officer. This officer will work together with the Strategic Communications and Resource Mobilisation portfolios in IWRAW AP’s ‘Institutional Resilience and Strengthening’ pillar to ensure that the organisational vision and mission are implemented, as well as evolved, given the results of the implementation of the programme strategy.
Working closely with the Executive Director and the sustainability unit team, they will develop and implement a workable internal system for monitoring the impact of IWRAW AP’s work. The MEAL framework will facilitate generation of both qualitative and quantitative data, documenting stories of impact and change to develop external advocacy instruments that showcase accessible, realistic MEAL frameworks for partners and donors with varied capacities and living in varied environments but also useful internal tools for IWRAW AP teams in building collective analysis about our ways of working and impact.
While the position is open to remote work, and can be applied for by all eligible candidates living in the Asia-Pacific region, it is preferable that the MEAL Programme Officer be based out of IWRAW AP’s office in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. If the non-Malaysian selected candidate is willing to relocate, the office will work with them to relocate to Kuala Lumpur under an expatriate work permit. IWRAW AP will provide all necessary support in obtaining the work permit.
