SalaryResults Measurement Training ProviderThe Market Development Facility (MDF) is a multi-country Australian Government funded Market Systems Development (MSD) initiative with locations in Fiji, Sri Lanka, Timor-Leste, Samoa, Tonga and Vanuatu. MDF aims to stimulate economic growth and hence employment and income-earning opportunities for the poor and underprivileged, by making selected sectors of the economy more competitive and stimulating business innovation. MDF is implemented by Palladium Group and Swisscontact and started operations in Fiji in July 2011.MDF Applies the Donor Committee for Enterprise Development (DCED) standard for Results Measurement (RM) in Private Sector Development (PSD). The standard is based on a framework that helps practitioners articulate the impact hypothesis and set and monitor indicators to assess whether the impact is happening as expected. Despite having minimum requirements, the standard is not overly prescriptive. It aims to be flexible enough to be applied in different contexts whilst ensuring sufficient rigour is used to meet a minimum standard. MDF was last audited to the DCED standard in 2018, but continues to apply it rigorously.RoleSupport the MDF Pacific leadership to build capacity of the RIMI team, and implementation team in key DCED-based MRM frameworks and concepts as they apply to market systems development in the Pacific.Hold a training (duration to be determined/suggested) to achieve the following specific learning objectives with the MDF team: * Develop a familiarity with basic MRM frameworks and concepts such as results chains and monitoring plans, collection and analysis of qualitative and quantitative data, and how to review and use findings to support decision making and adaptive management of interventions.
