The USAID Jalin Project
Scope of Work
Regional Monitoring and
Evaluation Officer
The USAID Jalin
Project (hereafter referred to as “Jalin” or the “Project”) is a five-year
initiative implemented by DAI Global, LLC and its consortium of partners –
IntraHealth, Vital Strategies, and Market Share Associates – to work with USAID to facilitate and support partnerships through a
co-creation process that brings together a diverse range of public and private
sector actors to leverage domestic resources, increase the pace at which
reliable local evidence is made widely available and utilized to design and
implement local maternal and newborn health (MNH) solutions.
Jalin
will contribute to a MNH movement in Indonesia that: (a) brings together
actors, including those traditionally outside the health system, to use local
evidence and global best practices to co-create, test and adapt local
solutions; (b) addresses evidence gaps by identifying where and why maternal
and newborn deaths are happening and uses that information to co-define and
create local solutions; (c) engages the public and private sectors to
co-finance scalable local solutions to support partnerships and ensure that the
poor and vulnerable have access to essential services; (d) catalyzes new and
existing partnerships, local solutions and co-investment through a whole-of-market
approach across the projects areas of technical focus; and (e) fosters a
culture of learning and adaptation.

Regional Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Officers are based in
each of Jalin’s Regional Offices – Medan, Serang, Bandung, Semarang, Surabaya,
