Roles & Responsibilities

SPARK is seeking an experienced external training provider to deliver a tailored capacity-building training on Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning (MEAL) to our implementing partners for the Networks of Change II programme. The training will take place in Sulaymaniyah.

This training aims to strengthen the capacity of our local NGO partners in core MEAL areas. This initiative directly responds to a needs assessment conducted with the partners, which identified key gaps in their ability to make effective use of M&E data. The goal is to equip them with practical skills and strategies to track project outcomes, improve reporting, and foster data-driven decision-making.

The curriculum must be tailored to the general needs of local civil society organisations and should cover the following core areas:

  • Introduction to MEAL: Core concepts, principles, and the importance of MEAL in the project cycle.
  • MEAL Frameworks and Planning: Designing and implementing effective MEAL frameworks, including the development of logical frameworks (logframes).
  • Indicator Development: Setting SMART indicators to measure project outputs and outcomes.
  • Data Collection and Management: Practical methods for qualitative and quantitative data collection, analysis, and structured reporting.
  • Data for Decision-Making: Utilizing MEAL data to improve project planning, execution, and adaptive management.
  • Accountability and Learning: Integrating feedback mechanisms and learning processes to enhance organisational impact and accountability to beneficiaries.

Key Deliverables

  • A detailed training agenda and methodology submitted for SPARK s approval prior to the training.
  • All training materials (presentations, handouts, exercises) provided in digital and hard copy formats.
  • Delivery of a 3-day interactive training in Sulaymaniyah.
  • Pre- and post-training knowledge assessments to measure participant learning.
  • A final training report summarizing activities, participant attendance, pre/post assessment results, key observations, and recommendations for future capacity building.

Desired Candidate Profile

We are seeking a consultant or firm with the following demonstrated profile:

  • Proven Expertise: A minimum of 5 years of professional experience in Monitoring and Evaluation, with a significant focus on the non-profit/NGO sector.
  • Training Experience: A demonstrated track record of designing and delivering highly interactive training workshops on MEAL topics for NGOs in Iraq or the broader MENA region.
  • Technical Knowledge: In-depth, practical knowledge of MEAL concepts, logframe approaches, indicator development, and qualitative/quantitative data collection methods.
  • Facilitation Skills: Strong communication and facilitation skills to lead engaging and practical sessions.
  • Language Proficiency: Fluency in Kurdish is mandatory. Professional proficiency in English is required for reporting and coordination with SPARK.
