TECHNICAL ADVISOR, COST ANALYSIS

JOB SUMMARY

As part of our focus to deliver high quality impact per dollar, CARE seeks to document and learn about the cost efficiency and effectiveness of its work. CARE participates in a consortium with other INGOs that uses the Dioptra platform to conduct cost efficiency and effectiveness analysis.

Dioptra is an online tool to conduct cost analysis consistently, quickly, rigorously to generate high-quality evidence. It imports finance data and uses a consistent methodology to calculate the cost per output of an activity. Results can be meaningfully compared to identify opportunities for program learning and improvement. This position will expand use of the tool and the results of costing analysis across CARE's project portfolio.
