  • Undertake field visits to provide technical support, supervise activities, and liaise with district officials.
  • Work with SPC-MLE to qualitatively analyze monitoring data and provide feedback to field teams for improved coverage validation (“any” and “full” coverage).
  • Coordinate with government procurement/logistics counterparts (e.g., state logistics MIS/medical services corp.) to strengthen indenting, allocation, and last-mile distribution.

Knowledge Management

  • Prepare program briefs, process documentation, case studies, and best-practice notes; facilitate dissemination with stakeholders.
  • Engage with stakeholders alongside SPL to share findings and lessons from implementation.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
