SNV is a global development partner, deeply rooted in the countries where we operate. We are driven by a vision of a better world: A world where across every society all people live with dignity and have equitable opportunities to thrive sustainably. To make this vision a reality, we need transformations in vital agri-food, energy, and water systems. SNV contributes by strengthening capacities and catalysing partnerships in these sectors. We help strengthen institutions and effective governance, reduce gender inequalities and barriers to social inclusion, and enable adaptation and mitigation to the climate and biodiversity crises.
Building on 60 years of experience we support our partners with our technical and process expertise and methodological rigour. We do this in more than 20 countries in Africa and Asia with a team of approximately 1,600 colleagues. By being adaptable and tailoring our approaches to these different contexts, we can contribute to impact at scale, resulting in more equitable lives for all.

Overview of position
:
SNV, in partnership with the World Food Programme (WFP), is implementing the Strengthening Resilience of Smallholder Households in Drought Prone Areas of Zambia (SRSHDPA) Project. The Project uses a market-based and climate-smart strategy to support smallholder farmers sustainably. Focusing on the targeted rural districts in Southern and Western provinces, the SNV-led SRSHDPA project objectives are to boost nutrient-dense food production via agricultural productivity and to increase the incomes of low-income households, especially those headed by women and young people. The project goal is to increase food security and economic resilience of smallholder households. The overall objective will be to enhance smallholders’ skills, access, participation, linkages, and support in agri-food markets to help households increase and diversify incomes, become more climate resilient, and increase food security and household nutrition.
The Monitoring and Evaluation Officer plays a crucial role within the project team, ensuring that project activities align with established objectives and deliver measurable outcomes. The officer will be responsible for designing and implementing monitoring frameworks that track progress, analyse data, and assess the impact of project initiatives. By engaging with relevant stakeholders, the officer will foster an enabling environment conducive to knowledge sharing and collaboration, ensuring that all parties are informed and actively participating in achieving project goals. Additionally, the officer will conduct regular field visits and assessments to identify areas for improvement and ensure accountability in project operations. Through these efforts, the officer will contribute significantly to enhancing project effectiveness and sustainability while supporting strategic decision-making processes.
