Moses Mbeya Wawiye

I was responsible for designing, leading, and overseeing all program MEL activities for the National Geographic Team Sayari TV Series for children aged 7 – 12 years in Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda funded by USAID. This includes implementing the Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Plan, data collection, documentation, analysis, reporting and tracking of results and progress.

MEL Plan: I Developed a MEL Plan according to the USAID template with clear theory of change (ToC), Logic Model and Result Framework. Carry out LFA (Logical Framework Approach), Results-Based Management (RBM) and Participatory Approaches.

M & E Tools; I designed M & E tools and introduced mobile data collection using Open Data Kit (ODK) and KoBo Collect for data collection during Baseline, Onsite Screening, Pre – Post Screening and Endline.

M& E Support; I provided support to program teams directly in collection, analysis and preparation of monthly, quarterly, and annual progress reports on the status of project implementation and other project reports.

Learning; I designed and applied approaches to support effective learning to ably assess impact and continuously improve the quality of current organizational services, and keep abreast of developments in the sector to inform the organization’s evaluation and learning strategies.

Training and Knowledge Management; I ensured training of enumerators, teachers and partner staff on M & E tools, plan and measurable indicators as required by USAID.

Collaboration, Learning and Adaptation (CLA): I ensure that collaboration, learning and adaptation is not only integrated but fully operationalized in program design and implementation. This means driving coordination with others, making evidence-based decisions, and iteratively adapting throughout implementation to remain relevant and on course.
