Consultant & Data Analysis at Evidence Action
Evidence Action’s mission is to fill the gap between what is effective in global health and development and what is implemented at scale.
- One of our flagship programs is the Deworm the World Initiative, which envisions a world where all at-risk children have improved health, increased access to education and better livelihoods potential as a result of being free of intestinal worms.
Location: Abuja
Background
Evidence Action’s Monitoring, Learning and Evaluation (MLE) function in the West and Central Africa (WCA) region delivers the Comprehensive Facility Survey (CFS) analysis annually for each country program.
- In 2025, responsibility for the CFS analysis transitioned from the ESA team to the WCA Data Analytics and Learning (DAL) unit.
- The first two rounds - Cameroon (December 2025) and Liberia (March 2026) - revealed significant gaps in the quality and completeness of the analysis outputs, which were documented through a formal Root Cause Analysis.
Objective
The primary objective of this consultancy is to strengthen the WCA DAL team’s capacity to independently deliver high-quality CFS analysis by October 2026.
- The consultant will do this by providing hands-on technical coaching, co-developing structured analysis protocols and SOPs, training the team on their application, and functioning as the primary quality assurance reviewer on all analysis outputs produced during the engagement period.
- A secondary objective is to contribute to the broader analytical capacity of the DAL unit by supporting the team on data analysis workflows, results generation, and evidence-based reporting practices that extend beyond the CFS package.
Requirements
Required Qualifications and Experience:
Essential:
Master’s Degree in Statistics, Economics, Public Health, Epidemiology, or a related quantitative field.
- A minimum of 5 years of experience in data analysis for public health, development, or social sector programs, with at least 2 years in a supervisory or mentoring capacity.
- Strong proficiency in Stata for data management and analysis, with demonstrated experience writing and reviewing code for survey data cleaning, indicator construction, and results generation.
- Direct experience with large facility-level survey analysis with a vast number of variables (CFS, SPA, SDI, or comparable instruments) - including familiarity with KPI construction, skip-logic handling, rebinning, and weighted estimation.
Duration and Timeline:
The consultancy is for an initial period of three (3) months, starting 15 June 2026 through end of September 2026, with the possibility of extension through December 2026 to cover the blind re-analysis, readiness assessment, and the October Cameroon analysis round.
Any extension will be subject to evidence of strong performance during the initial period and will be agreed in writing. (An earlier start will be considered)
- This role requires up to 80% face-to-face interaction with the DAL team in Abuja.
- The hands-on coaching, training, and quality assurance functions are most effective when delivered in person alongside the team.
- Reporting and Working Arrangements:
- The consultant reports directly to the Senior Manager, MLE WCA.
- Day-to-day coordination will be with the DAL team lead (Manager, Data Analytics and Learning).
The consultant will provide weekly written updates to the Senior Manager, each including evidence of tangible results achieved during the reporting period - such as completed training assessments, reviewed outputs, protocol drafts, or documented team progress.
- A formal written mid-point progress update is due by the end of July 2026.
- Up to 80% of the consultant’s time should be spent in face-to-face engagement with the team in Abuja.
- Remote working may be agreed for specific tasks that do not require in-person interaction.
Deadline:
Not Specified.
