ACDI/VOCA is currently seeking a technical research expert in Veterinary Sciences or Agriculture for an upcoming Service Learning Corps Assignment. ACDI/VOCA's Feed the Future Bangladesh Livestock and Nutrition (LAN) Activity requests volunteer assistance to support the qualitative measurement of project-facilitated outcomes. The volunteer will provide technical expertise and an objective perspective to enhance the robustness of the measurement process, ensuring the findings contribute valuable insights for project learning and adaptation.

This is a 3-month assignment, scheduled to start ASAP (December 2024 - February 2025).

The selected volunteer will coordinate with LAN and ACDI/VOCA monitoring & evaluation, as well as technical staff, in conducting an Outcome Harvest. Outcome Harvest is a qualitative systems change measurement method that involves the development of outcome descriptions around project facilitated outcomes. The volunteer is expected to provide technical expertise and a level of objectivity to ensure robust measurement and increased value of learning (obtained from the Outcome Harvest) for project adaptation. The Outcome Harvest is being led by the LAN MEL team with support from ACDI/VOCA's MEL and technical team.
