This individual will play a pivotal role in coordinating data collection from relevant teams translating into reporting narratives for various stakeholders, as well as identify and validate data gaps and escalate the same for resolution and clarification, as needed.

• Provide ongoing guidance during grant startup, implementation, and close-out phases. Knowledge Mobilization and Process Development
• Engage directly with program and technical staff to gather project information, success stories, lessons learned, and innovations from the implementation teams, translating them into engaging and evidence-based narratives for internal and external audiences.
• Contribute to the creation of internal knowledge products including learning briefs, thematic summaries, and synthesis documents that support cross-learning and knowledge retention across districts and regions.
• Collaborate with the VENN team to integrate outcome and Impact level data, analysis, and visualizations into reporting products, ensuring reports reflect both quantitative and qualitative impact.
• Contribute to ongoing refinement of RTV’s reporting systems, templates, and tools to enhance quality, usability, and institutional learning.
• Support the capacity strengthening of field teams and program staff by facilitating training or coaching sessions on effective documentation, narrative development, and results-based reporting practices.
