Overall Purpose of the Role
The Hope, Empowerment, and Resilience (HER) Project is a multi-country, consortium-led initiative implemented in Sudan and Ethiopia with financial support from Agence française de Développement (AfD). The project aims to strengthen the resilience of displacement-affected women and girls by addressing immediate humanitarian needs while laying the foundations for inclusive, gender-responsive, and sustainable systems recovery across protection, health and nutrition, economic recovery, and social cohesion.

The position ensures that evidence, feedback, and learning meaningfully inform adaptive management, consortium decision-making, and AfD reporting requirements. The position operates at the interface between the CMU and country implementation teams, ensuring alignment between strategic oversight and field-level data generation.
