How to Apply for Monitoring and Evaluation Coordinator

at Ansh

🏢 About Ansh

Ansh is a mission-driven organization focused on saving newborn lives in India through Kangaroo Care implementation in public healthcare facilities. What makes them unique is their evidence-based approach to a simple, proven solution endorsed by WHO, addressing a critical gap where 22% of global newborn deaths occur. Working here means directly contributing to reducing neonatal mortality through capacity building and overcoming implementation barriers.

About This Role

As Monitoring and Evaluation Coordinator, you'll design and implement systems to track Kangaroo Care adoption, measure impact on newborn survival rates, and generate data to optimize program effectiveness. This role is impactful because you'll provide the evidence needed to scale a life-saving intervention, demonstrating how capacity building translates into reduced mortality in low birth weight and premature babies.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves analyzing facility-level Kangaroo Care adoption data, designing surveys to measure implementation barriers, and preparing impact reports for donors. You'll collaborate remotely with healthcare teams to refine data collection methods and translate findings into recommendations for improving capacity building approaches across different regions.
