About EqualHealth
EqualHealth is a grassroots organization building critical consciousness and collective action
globally in pursuit of health equity for all. We are building a global movement of social medicine educators and practitioners who fight health inequity in their institutions and broader society. With 15 chapters operating in seven countries, our Campaign Against Racism takes on issues including settler colonialism, the migration industrial complex, vaccine equity, and political education. Our Social Medicine Courses and conferences bridge communities focusing on the social and structural drivers of health and the fight for global equity. Our third program, Mutual Aid, provides our community partners and practitioners with the resources to respond to crises quickly and decisively while establishing stronger frameworks for social medicine and tackling racism and oppression in their respective institutions. EqualHealth works on the ground in Haiti, Uganda, and Minnesota, with program activities also held virtually.
Who You Are
EqualHealth is seeking a part-time Monitoring Evaluation and Learning Consultant to develop a MEL system and process that will enable us to make key decisions based on our retrospective and prospective activities. This project is a 1.5-year commitment with the MEL Consultant working approximately 15-20 hours per week. Currently, our tools (surveys, feedback forms) need to more effectively capture the impact of our work and be cohesive and consistent. The desired MEL Consultant will:
- help us adopt a system that builds stability, accountability, and consistency in our MEL practices;
- be dedicated to capacitating and collaborating with our team, and stakeholders throughout the MEL development process; and
- have creative capacity to explore beyond traditional MEL measures of program outcomes with attention to educational and organizing programs built on relationality.
Scope of Work
- Work closely with our programmatic and operations team members to outline the current needs and challenges for data collection and management.
- Develop and conduct a retrospective MEL assessment initiative involving EqualHealth’s program alumni, faculty, and participants.
- Assess the current organizational MEL practices and institute a comprehensive MEL system with a framework and methodological tools for qualitative, quantitative, and narrative data collection and analysis.
- Lead workshops for EqualHealth’s team and volunteers to build programmatic MEL capacity.
- Devise a MEL workflow and annual plan meeting the needs of EqualHealth’s stakeholders, team, and global community.
- Produce an EqualHealth MEL manual and toolkit for best practices to aid our partners and guide future programming and expansion.

- Strong communication skills with extensive experience working and collaborating with individuals from different cultures and socio-economic backgrounds

Work Environment/Languages:
This position is 100% virtual and requires intense collaboration across teams spanning
multiple time zones. We are committed to language justice and our programming languages are
predominantly Creole/French and English. Being bilingual will be an added advantage but not

interpretation services.
