MEASUREMENT, MONITORING, AND EVALUATION ASSOCIATE – Pratham Foundation

ABOUT THE TEAM:

Pratham has reached more than 20 million children across 22 states and UTs in the last couple of years through wide-ranging education-focused programs. The Measurement, Monitoring and Evaluation Team (MME), established in 2013, has played an integral role in ensuring that Pratham, its partners in the community and government have analytically and effectively acted upon using data generated from these programs. During unprecedented school closures in the past year, the team swiftly innovated its approach to collect data remotely, thereby continuing to inform program strategy, content, and implementation decisions.

The MME team has built and sustained a culture of data-backed decision making within Pratham and its partners. The central team works closely with ~60 state MME associates to ensure rigorous and timely implementation of data systems and processes in the field. While constantly strengthening, streamlining measurement at Pratham, the next major goal for the team is to extend its know-how to other non-profits, social enterprises, government data teams, and CSR functions to bring out maximum value from the data they generate.

We are a young, competitive team from diverse professional organizations ranging from a top Market Research Company, a Software Giant, Analytics at a Global Fast-Food giant to a leading EdTech Company and Business Consulting firm.
