This position will support the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in managing Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning activities according to IUCN’s guidelines and procedures, regarding the Rio Doce Panel project, engagement with the business sector, and IUCN SUR activities.
Rio Doce Panel (RDP): IUCN was requested by the Renova Foundation in 2017 to establish an Independent Scientific and Technical Advisory Panel (ISTAP) that provides technical and scientific support to the Foundation for the restoration effort of the Rio Doce Basin, Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo, Brazil, as mandated in the Transaction and Conduct Adjustment Term, and described on Renova Foundation website. ISTAPs adhere to the principles of independence, transparency, accountability, and engagement. The Rio Doce Panel (RDP) was then established as a five-year initiative focused on the restoration of the Rio Doce Basin. Since 2017, nine papers were produced with recommendations, all documented here: www.iucn.org/riodocepanel.
The Rio Doce Panel project has put in place a Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) strategy that aims to understand and learn from the influence and impact of RDP products and recommendations on target processes and audiences, as well as any unexpected outcomes. It also aims to help RDP making sense of the evidence gathered to meet adaptive management and learning objectives. Different tools are being used to capture, integrate and report on evidence of outcomes and impact across different scales and support learning.
This position will support the MEL functions of several business engagements lead by the Enterprise and Investment Team, as well as the IUCN SUR office.
The position will be based in IUCN Brazil in Brasilia (currently working remotely) and work in close coordination with the IUCN Brazil office and IUCN SUR office.
The MEL Officer will report the Senior Programme Manager of Enterprise and Investment team based in Switzerland, who coordinates the Rio Doce Panel project. A second reporting line will be to the IUCN SUR Regional Director.
