• Quality control of the evaluation data and advising on analysis of the monitoring data to facilitate reporting, learning and disseminating results at project level.
• Collect and analyse quantitative data, applying statistical techniques to measure the effectiveness of CBS and to uncover patterns and trends that inform evidence-based decision making.
• Contribute to the design of tailor-made monitoring and evaluation software for the ICBS and in particular the CONNECT project.
• Develop a plan for data-management within ICBS and its partners implementing the CONNECT project, to ensure that all data gathered are filed properly and stored securely.
  
  
  

3. Dissemination of findings

• Work closely with community members, local organizations, and partners to ensure that research is participatory, culturally sensitive, and aligned with community needs.
• Provide insights to enhance project design and delivery (implementation research), by using the outcomes of the quantitative data analysis.
• Translate findings into actionable recommendations: present research findings in a clear and accessible manner, collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to translate insights into actionable strategies for positive change.
• Contribute to report writing within the organization.
• Write scientific articles about the research findings.

4. Training and capacity building
