A nonprofit in Togo is looking for experienced monitoring and evaluation (M&E) professionals to help strengthen their data collection and reporting systems.
Supporting Development and Community Health (Appui au Développement et à la Santé Communautaire) is a nonprofit organization that has been working for 30 years to meet the basic needs of vulnerable and marginalized populations, especially in rural areas. The organization currently implements initiatives in community health, child protection, and food security in collaboration with multiple partners, including the Ministry of Health of Togo. Each partner and donor relies on its own monitoring and evaluation systems and tools, which are often not aligned. As a result, staff must navigate and manage multiple parallel systems, creating a heavy reporting burden and reducing efficiency.
As a Health Systems Advisor, you will work alongside the nonprofit staff to assess existing processes, design an integrated M&E system, and support its implementation. Your work will help ensure that the new system meets partner and donor requirements while streamlining data collection and reporting. By building the capacity of staff to manage and utilize this strengthened system, you will enhance organizational efficiency and improve access to high‑quality data that supports informed decision‑making and more impactful programming.

The Volunteer will spend the first few days of orientation in a hotel in the capital before moving to the training center that offers basic accommodations, including a private bathroom, electricity, and running water. The Volunteer will then settle in a major city in the Centrale Region, where modest housing will be provided by the host organization. The donated house offers basic accommodation, including bedroom, living room or cooking area, electricity and private bathing room and toilet. In the Centrale Region, French is the primary language used, followed by Tem.

"A highlight of my time in service was spending my first birthday in Togo ... That day, my host family confirmed that I wasn’t just a Volunteer, but a member of the community, a member of their family."

After a two-week orientation on topics such as health and safety, you will move to an urban community where you will collaborate with nonprofit staff to assess the needs and develop a work plan in line with their established goals.
Peace Corps/Togo will equip you with French and Tem language resources. You may work with a tutor who can help you build basic local language skills to connect with the community.
Only heterosexual couples can be accepted for this program. Each person must apply separately and qualify for a position in the same sector as their partner. Couples will live together during training but may separate occasionally for field-based activities. Couples who are selected for the same sector will live together but work with different local partners which may be in the same community or in neighboring communities (not more than 30 minutes apart). Cohabitating couples are highly encouraged to present themselves as married throughout service due to cultural expectations.
