Dexis Professional Services (DPS), in collaboration with prime contractor ZemiTek, LLC, is implementing the Bureau for Planning, Learning and Resource Management Institutional Support Contract (PLR ISC). The PLR Bureau is the Agency’s lead on strategy, policy and program implementation, budget, learning, and evaluation. PLR ISC is a mechanism used by USAID to staff the PLR Bureau with administrative, programmatic, and technical support staff on both short- and long-term bases. DPS works to ensure that the Agency can efficiently accomplish its priorities in relation to aligning resources with the U.S. Government’s foreign policy and national security objectives – and advancing evidence-based, cost-effective programming to achieve sustainable development outcomes.
The Strategic Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) Advisor will be embedded within USAID's Office of Learning Evaluation and Research (LER), in the Bureau for Planning, Learning, and Resource Management (PLR). This position will support design and implementation of strategic monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) efforts focused on Agency-wide and interagency initiatives.

LER establishes policy guidance on evaluations and evidence use, coordinates the Agency’s evidence generation and use related to the Agency Learning Agenda and Agency performance reporting systems, provides technical assistance to support program cycle implementation and evaluation, and strengthens the capacity of USAID staff, partners and local actors in monitoring, evaluation, and learning. LER manages Learning Lab, the Agency’s public facing online monitoring, evaluation and Collaborating, Learning and Adapting (CLA) resource for development practitioners and partners, and is the home of the Agency Evaluation Officer and the Agency Knowledge Management and Organizational Learning Officer.
