Position Summary

The Advisor, MEAL, Impact and Gender Equality is an organization-wide technical role responsible for strengthening Operation Eyesight Canada’s monitoring, evaluation, accountability, learning, impact measurement, and gender equality practice across international programs. Based in Canada, the Advisor supports OE Canada, Country Offices, local partners, health facilities, community structures, and, where relevant, Ministries of Health to design, monitor, evaluate, report on, and learn from programs that strengthen sustainable eye health systems.
