The Evaluation Specialist will conduct evaluations of various projects and programs for the UN Secretariat. This role involves elaborating on evaluation designs, collecting and analyzing data, interpreting findings, and making recommendations. The position aims to strengthen the evaluation capacity of the Secretariat, particularly for smaller units. Candidates will be part of a pool of evaluation experts available to program managers across the UN.

Candidate Requirements:

  • Advanced university degree in relevant fields
  • Minimum five years of evaluation experience

Consultants hired using this GJO are expected to conduct evaluations of various projects and/or programmes and/or sub-programmes and/or any other substantive and/or operational component, and/or office and/or unit of work, and/or strategy and/or thematic topic for the UN Secretariat.

While the locations will vary according to the requirements of the hiring office engaging the Evaluation Specialist, in some instances, it is expected that work might be performed remotely.

Duration of the assignment varies, depending on the requirements of the assignment that the consultant is being recruited for.

In his report on Shifting the management paradigm in the United Nations: ensuring a better future for all paragraph 61 (A/72/492), the Secretary-General indicated his intention to strengthen the evaluation capacity of the Secretariat, in particular providing support to smaller units that do not have a meaningful evaluation capacity. In this context, this Generic Job Opening (GJO) for Evaluation Specialists is to create a pool of evaluation experts that would be available for programme managers across the UN Secretariat. Evaluation Specialists will be responsible for a range of duties as specified in the evaluation terms of reference against which the specialist will be recruited on. Responsibilities primarily relate to conducting evaluations that meet the UN standards for evaluation, and may include but are not limited to: • Elaborating on the evaluation design and producing an inception report; • Collecting and analysing data; • Interpreting evaluation findings, drawing appropriate conclusions; • Making recommendations and communicating findings through reports, presentations or other means of dissemination. Hiring teams and programme managers of all UN Secretariat entities will be able to search this pool based on their specific needs on evaluations. The hiring office from the UN Secretariat entities will directly reach out to the candidates, at which point they will also share the Terms of Reference, Results of Service and other details related to their consulting assignment.

Education: An advanced level university degree (Masters' degree or equivalent) is required in Business or Public Administration, Management, Evaluation, International development, international relations, Social sciences, legal affairs or related fields. A first-level university degree in combination with 2 additional years of qualifying experience may be accepted in lieu of the advanced university degree. Experience: A minimum of five years of experience in conducting evaluation is required. Language: English and French are the two working languages of the United Nations Secretariat. For the post advertised, fluency in English or French is required. Fluency in other UN official languages may be required depending on the recruiting UN entity.

It is encouraged that applications be updated in the case where new skills or experience are obtained from the time of the initial application so that programme managers will have the most up-to-date information to aid them in their recruiting. Applying to this pool does not guarantee selection for any subsequent assignment.

THE UNITED NATIONS DOES NOT CHARGE A FEE AT ANY STAGE OF THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS (APPLICATION, INTERVIEW MEETING, PROCESSING, OR TRAINING). THE UNITED NATIONS DOES NOT CONCERN ITSELF WITH INFORMATION ON APPLICANTS' BANK ACCOUNTS. At Impactpool we do our best to provide you the most accurate info, but closing dates may be wrong on our site. Please check on the recruiting organization's page for the exact info. Candidates are responsible for complying with deadlines and are encouraged to submit applications well ahead. Before applying, please make sure that you have read the requirements for the position and that you qualify. Applications from non-qualifying applicants will most likely be discarded by the recruiting manager.
