Overview:
Jhpiego aims to develop, implement, and assess an integrated approach for climate-resilient women's and adolescent health in urban, flood-prone cities in the Philippines. The purpose is to protect and strengthen access to essential health services for women and adolescents before, during, and after climate-related events—particularly flooding—while advancing community-led disease surveillance and preventive care.
The project focuses on four core areas, namely, 1) Continuity of essential services during disasters; 2) Climate-informed disease surveillance and early warning, 3) Youth and women's leadership in community adaptation, 4) Integration of long-term preventive care.

Work with Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) staff to develop M&E frameworks and effectively track data/results.
Ensure project activities are aligned with the project goal and objectives and national policies and frameworks.
Work with the Program Manager on annual work planning and provide strategic inputs including on the Performance Monitoring Plan.
Work closely with the MEL Advisor and the M&E team to analyze data, adjust implementation and put in place course corrections.
