We rebuild tropical fisheries with coastal communities
Blue Ventures is a marine conservation organization that puts people first. We support coastal fishers in remote and rural communities to rebuild fisheries, restore ocean life and build lasting pathways to prosperity. Our work began two decades ago in Madagascar’s remote coastal communities and is growing globally. Across a dozen countries, we’re partnering with traditional fishers and community organizations to design, scale, strengthen and sustain fisheries management and conservation at the community level. We bring partners together in networks to advocate for reform, and share tools and best practices to support fishing communities across the globe.
Summary job description
The purpose of this consultancy is to develop and pilot an M&E framework that effectively captures the progress and outcomes of our advocacy work, without overburdening the team.
It is anticipated that the proposed M&E framework will consist of
1. Monitoring metrics and data collection approaches that support our team to gather evidence effectively and track our progress
2. A case-based evaluation methodology that can be used by BV and partner teams to carry out deep dive evaluations of our work
The proposed M&E framework will:
– Track progress towards our advocacy goals and ensure we meet our reporting requirements
– Be capable of supplying information for ongoing decision-making: providing reliable information to help BV’s advocacy team make decisions on a regular basis.
– Give information about whether the actions we are taking are having the desired effect, and if not, why not.
– Give an overview of unintended or unexpected outcomes
– Allow adaptation of project design, and identify any organisational or cross-cutting lessons or recommendations.
– Be used to review historical cases – with a reconstruction of what was assumed to be the ToC at the time
– Provide evidence or case studies that we can use in external communications and in grant reporting
– Provide a practical and pragmatic approach that balances time and resources required from our busy teams and partners with the rigor needed to demonstrate the outcomes of our work
