Background

Coalition Health Zambia (CHZ) is a leading Zambian non-governmental organisation established in 2019 that is dedicated to strengthening health systems and advancing public health outcomes through innovative, evidence-driven, and sustainable solutions. CHZ works in partnership with the Government of the Republic of Zambia, development agencies, civil society, the private sector, and communities in the implementation of health programmes.

With funding from the U.S. Department of State through the CIDRZ led Controlling HIV Epidemic Project (CHEP), CHZ is implementing Coordinated, Community-led Demand Creation for Lenacapavir (LEN)/PrEP in six districts of the Copperbelt province. The goal is to increase awareness, informed decision-making, and uptake of Lenacapavir (LEN) as part of Zambia’s combination HIV prevention package through coordinated Social and Behaviour Change (SBC) interventions and community mobilisation among priority populations in the selected districts. CHZ will work closely with the Ministry of Health (MoH), National HIV/AIDS/STI/TB Council (NAC), CHEP, and community structures in implementing this activity.

Position summary: The Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Coordinator will support the implementation and ongoing strengthening of the M&E system for the LEN demand-creation Activity in the Copperbelt Province. The role will contribute to the design and refinement of M&E frameworks, tools, and processes, while ensuring effective tracking of activity performance and results. The M&E Coordinator will provide technical oversight and support to District Zone Coordinators, ensuring standardized data collection, reporting, and use of data across all implementation sites. The role will also strengthen community feedback mechanisms and accountability systems, in line with the activity’s community-led approach and adaptive programming focus.
