Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Committee(MEC), Multi Location
MEC (www.mec.af) was created after the need for independent monitoring and evaluation of anti-corruption efforts was identified at a series of international conferences. MEC is wholly independent of the Government of Afghanistan, and receives financial support from the international community. This independence ensures that MEC is capable of carrying out its mandate in a transparent manner without undue influence. The governing Committee, which is made up of three Afghan and three international anti-corruption experts, meets in Afghanistan quarterly, normally resulting in the setting of recommendations and benchmarks. MEC issues regular reports every three months, with interim reports being issued on an ad hoc basis.
The primary responsibility of the Senior Research Officer will be to support the Vulnerability to Corruption Assessment (VCA) Team Lead in conducting vulnerability to corruption assessments by conducting desk studies to map business processes in chosen sectors or institutions and collecting qualitative data through interviews and focus groups.
The secondary responsibility of the VCA Officer is to provide research support to the various teams of the MEC Secretariat, including the collection of primary evidence and data through site visits, as required.
He/she supports the Research Unit by conducting primary and secondary research through desk studies and collecting qualitative and quantitative data through interviews, Focus Group Discussions, Direct Observations, and coordinates relevant research tasks with the team, the Technical Director, the Legal Advisor, the Senior Policy Advisor and the Executive Director.
