Description:

The Alliance for Peacebuilding (AfP) is a membership-based network of more than seventy organizations and hundreds of professionals devoted to building sustainable peace and security worldwide. After three years of convening the Peacebuilding Evaluation Project, AfP recently launched the Peacebuilding Evaluation Consortium in collaboration with Mercy Corps, Search for Common Ground, American University, and the US Institute of Peace.

The Peacebuilding Evaluation Consortium is developing a multi-year architecture to foster better evaluation practice by strengthening linkages between application, research, knowledge management, and transparency. The Consortium will focus on three strategic and reinforcing initiatives: 1) developing methodological rigor in peacebuilding evaluation; 2) improving the culture of evaluation, transparency, and shared learning; and 3) influencing policy on peacebuilding to support better evaluation practice.

The Alliance for Peacebuilding is requesting applications for a one-year Peacebuilding Evaluation Fellowship. The Peacebuilding Evaluation Junior Fellow will be involved in all aspects of the Peacebuilding Evaluation Consortium programming. The Junior Fellow will be co-located at AfP and the US Institute of Peace.
