Our Take on This Opportunity
This section reflects Open Opportunities’ own analysis of the opportunity from an applicant’s perspective.
You may be a strong fit if…
- Professionals with extensive experience in monitoring and evaluation of social development projects in Latin America
- Experts in disability rights and inclusive education policy who can navigate complex multi-stakeholder environments
- Consultants with a strong background in qualitative and quantitative research methods suitable for UN-level evaluations
What should you think carefully about?
- The role requires physical presence in Peru and field travel to specific regions, making it unsuitable for fully remote applicants
- The tight 75-day timeline requires efficient project management and rapid delivery of high-quality reports
- Applicants must ensure they have no prior conflict of interest with the PRO Incluye program to be eligible
How could this fit your current goals and plans?
This consultancy is an excellent opportunity for an experienced evaluator to deepen their expertise in disability-inclusive development and UN-led programming. It provides a platform to influence future policy and practice by synthesizing lessons learned from a significant national program, making it a high-impact role for those looking to advance their career in international development and social impact assessment.
Our take
This position is ideal for a seasoned consultant based in or authorized to work in Peru who possesses a deep understanding of the local social policy landscape and disability rights. It is less suitable for those without specific experience in project evaluation or those unable to commit to the intensive field-based schedule.
