DESCRIPTION

Summary

The government of Côte d'Ivoire (CDI) aims to increase the modern contraceptive prevalence rate from 22.5% in 2020 to 30% by 2030. However, many challenges remain, including the issue of availability of products at service delivery points. A pilot phase of free provision of FP services was launched in the Agneby-Tiassa region and demonstrated a significant increase in the use of FP services in a context of constant availability of contraceptive products, with a 52% growth in the number of new acceptants of FP methods from September 2021 to May 2023.

To replicate and extend the results of this pilot project to a larger number of health districts, particularly with regard to the availability of contraceptive products at service delivery points, VillageReach is recruiting an M&E Manager to support this work.

The Monitoring & Evaluation Manager will work closely with the Country Lead and VillageReach’s global Research, Evaluation and Learning (REL) team, in coordinating M&E efforts of key solutions implemented by VillageReach in Cote d’Ivoire. Careful M&E is critical to helping VillageReach support the Ministry of Health in improving health care delivery to reach everyone by providing the data visibility needed to make improvements in the programs. The M&E Manager will report to the Country Lead.
