The transition to becoming a parent for the first time is a time of major life changes. At the same time that young mothers are removed from family, school, and social support networks, they must navigate caring for their own health while learning to care for a newborn. Young mothers (ages 15-24) are vulnerable to poor health outcomes and are also less likely than older women to access reproductive and maternal health services, including family planning. In Tanzania, the youngest mothers have the lowest use of modern postpartum family planning (FP) and the shortest intervals between births. Low use of effective methods of FP makes young mothers vulnerable to unintended pregnancies and rapid repeat pregnancies. Both younger age at first birth and closely spaced pregnancies contribute to increased risk for maternal and infant morbidity and mortality. Yet this transition to becoming a parent for the first time offers opportunities to improve life-long health and wellbeing for young parents and their families

In September 2019, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation awarded the Connecting young parents to Post-partum Family Planning (PPFP) through diverse platforms (Connect) project to Save the Children. Connect will complement the USAID-funded Lishe Endelevu project led by Save the Children, whose goal is improving nutritional status of women of reproductive age (specifically lactating and pregnant mothers and adolescent girls) and children under five. Over 4.5 years, Connect will develop and test additional activities (called “program enhancements”) to enhance Lishe Endelevu’s reach of young parents, and increase young parents’ use of FP. In Tanzania, the project will be implemented in two phases. Phase One entails formative research, followed by development and testing of the program enhancement at a small scale over 18 months.

In Phase Two, Connect will expand implementation to additional regions and districts. Throughout, Connect will document and share results and implementation challenges and lessons learned for adaptive management.

Connect seeks a dynamic Dodoma-based Research and Evaluation Coordinator to lead two areas of focus: (1) monitoring of project implementation that includes data collection, processing, and management (2) documenting evidence (cases studies, significant change stories etc) for reporting, learning, and adaptive management. The Coordinator will work under the guidance of the Connect Team Lead, MEAL Specialist and Lishe Endelevu Regional Manager-Dodoma. This position will be responsible for the implementation of Connect monitoring, evaluation and learning system that includes tracking progress towards targets, documentation, and management of project results data, and lessons learned. S/he will collaborate with Lishe Endelevu staff to integrate Connect monitoring and evaluation with Lishe Endelevu systems as relevant and will develop monitoring systems as needed. S/he will track progress toward performance indicators, analyze monthly performance and review data, contribute to development of donor reports, and document Connect’s lessons and challenges. Ensure that the project utilizes data to conduct “pause and reflection”.
