Team background
Right from inception, Pratham been very proactive in using data to make decisions. Our own ability to measure, assess, and evaluate has grown over time. At the same time, we have invited collaborations with researchers so that rigorous methods can be used to understand the effectiveness of our programs. Our two-decade long relationship with MIT’s Abdul Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) is testament to this commitment. Most of Pratham programs are large-scale programs. To effectively use data to guide programs we need to make sure that data collection is “do-able” and that data can be understood by all.
Hence, the Measurement, Monitoring, and Evaluation (MME) team at Pratham was established in 2013 to coordinate, standardise and streamline data collection, analyse data and establish reporting structures for Pratham’s flagship “Read India” program. A major objective of the team was to support data and evidence-based decision making at all levels of the organisation – from the instructor in the field to the leadership at state or national level. Since then, the team has grown substantially in size but moreover in scope.
We are looking for a self-driven State MME Associate to strengthen and manage the measurement, monitoring, and evaluation (MME) processes for our programs in Punjab. The selected candidate will be based in Ludhiana, Punjab. However, the base location may be changed based on organizational and programmatic requirements.
