Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist

• Background

The World Bank, through the Somalia Enhancing Public Resource Management Project (SERP), is supporting Somalia to improve institutions and service delivery, aiming to strengthen the social contract. This initiative is part of a broader effort to build state legitimacy and reduce institutional fragmentation. For Somali citizens to contribute to public revenues willingly, they must trust the state"s capability to perform its basic functions and deliver public services. Similarly, trust is essential for attracting external funding for critical services and humanitarian support, such as for drought and famine, and to channel these funds through government institutions and systems. This requires enhancing the state"s institutional capacity and addressing fragmentation while also strengthening transparency and accountability in managing public resources. SERP project will focus on capacity development by assessing and strengthening the capabilities of governments across all jurisdictions. This initiative aims to enhance their ability to develop, review, analyze, monitor, and coordinate policies effectively. Key activities will include bolstering the capacity to monitor government projects through a robust Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) system. Implementing effective risk management and mitigation strategies is crucial for the success of any M&E office, ensuring the overall success of projects. The SERP project will assist Somali governments by emphasizing the synergies and interconnectedness among domestic revenue mobilization (DRM), public financial management (PFM), and public sector management (PSM). By integrating revenue, expenditure, and service delivery over time, the project aims to enhance formal tax collection, strengthen governmental legitimacy, and reduce the influence of non-state actors. This operation consolidates the World Bank’s efforts and seeks to establish a consistent reform agenda across the Somali peninsula, tailoring interventions to meet the specific needs of each level of government.
