Job Title: MEAL Consultant

Department: Programmes

Duty Station: Remote (within ±6 hours of Geneva time)

Line Manager: Impact Analyst

Timeframe: Approximately 6 months (early start preferable)

Nonviolent Peaceforce (NP) is a dynamic, international non-governmental organisation. We work with people affected by violent conflicts to enhance their security and dignity through Unarmed Civilian Protection (UCP). We work to reduce violence, protect civilians in countries affected by violent conflict and its aftermath, and help transform the world’s response to conflict situations.

Overview

NP is currently establishing its country programme in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and scaling up operations in Sudan, while continuing established programmes in contexts such as Myanmar, South Sudan, Iraq and Ukraine. Across these locations, NP works to strengthen the safety and security of conflict-affected communities through Unarmed Civilian Protection (UCP).

NP centres local communities in preventing violence and promoting positive peace. NP programming focuses on building capacities within local communities to engage in nonviolent self-protection methods such as protective accompaniment and presence, community-led safety and security initiatives, conflict de-escalation techniques, and early warning/response mechanisms.

Job Summary

The MEAL Consultant is to lead on the operational and IT setup of integrated digital data systems for both the Sudan and DRC country programmes, ensuring that MEAL data can be collected, stored, and accessed through reliable digital workflows.

The consultant will also support other NP country programmes (e.g. Myanmar, South Sudan, Iraq and Ukraine) by adding digital tools and technical components to their existing MEAL systems. Working closely with country teams and the Global Programme Team, the consultant will help standardise indicators, refine data input tools, and implement technical solutions for data capture, storage, and analysis compatible with NP’s existing global platforms.

A key component of this consultancy will be to design and implement the integration between Kobo Toolbox and Salesforce, ensuring smooth data flow, compatibility, and analytical capacity.
