We implement USAID/Nepal’s Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Activity, a five-year project that provides performance management support to USAID/Nepal and its implementing partners (IPs) in the form of planning and monitoring, evaluations and studies, and knowledge management. The project is responsible for providing M&E capacity building support to both USAID/Nepal and IP staff.

The MEL team seeks a data management consultant to prepare datasets for upload in the US Government’s Digital Data Library.

In order to make those datasets ready to upload in the format DDL requires, the task at hand will include the below major actions, as well as others as required.
