MEAL - IM Officer at Save The Children - Lebanon
  • Lebanon - Beirut
  • My current job since November 2021

As a dynamic leader in the realm of project management and development, I orchestrate comprehensive strategies across diverse sectors including Education, Child Protection (CP), Child Rights and Gender (CRG), and Climate Change. My expertise lies in crafting meticulous log-frames and robust Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning (MEAL) plans, ensuring the alignment of project objectives with measurable outcomes. Through my adeptness in designing participatory qualitative and quantitative tools, I drive efficient data collection processes during regular field visits to partner centers, offering invaluable capacity building support along the way.

I excel in conducting thorough data analysis, both descriptively and inferentially, to derive actionable insights that inform strategic decision-making. My proficiency extends to creating detailed donor reports, showcasing project impact at both output and outcome levels. Leveraging technical acumen, I code surveys for platforms such as CommCare, KOBO, and Survey123, while harnessing tools like PowerBI to develop intuitive Reach dashboards. Additionally, I employ SPSS for comprehensive quantitative data analysis, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of project findings.

As a strategic thinker, I evaluate proposals, engage with external consultants, and oversee seamless implementation processes. Leading a diverse team of 40 members, I drive collaborative efforts in needs assessments, proposal development, and consistent outcome-level reporting for multi-sector projects. Central to my approach is a steadfast commitment to promoting child participation, configuring information systems, and ensuring rigorous project compliance.
