The Program Associate for Strategic Impact Evaluation and Learning (KIEL) is based within IPA’s Sector Programs department, contributing to a six-year collaborative initiative between the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), IPA, and the Abdul Latin Jamel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL). This program seeks to build a rigorous evidence base for FCDO’s global initiatives, improve the effectiveness of their interventions, and strengthen FCDO staff capabilities in applying impact evaluations to maximize value for money. The role involves collaborating closely with the Program Lead on grant administration, project formulation, and strategic communications across KIEL’s four priority sectors: economic growth, humanitarian aid, climate and environmental sustainability, and conflict and fragility. Key responsibilities include coordinating research funding initiatives (40% of time), which encompasses drafting proposal solicitations, engaging with FCDO and research teams, overseeing proposal reviews, and overseeing the creation of grant agreements.

In project development (30%), the Associate will assist the Program Lead with proposal formulation, outreach to FCDO teams, and internal coordination with IPA’s research, programs, grants, legal, finance, and global operations units. Additionally, the role involves facilitating connections between FCDO teams, researchers, and IPA/J-PAL country offices to advance KIEL’s thematic priorities, as well as contributing to new funding proposals through proactive outreach and relationship-building.

Administrative responsibilities (10%) include financial oversight, contributing to IPA’s diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts by tracking KIEL’s progress against relevant metrics. Applicants must hold a bachelor’s degree in economics, political science, public policy, or a related discipline, along with at least two years of experience in project or research management, research funding administration, or research dissemination. Strong project management skills are essential, including meticulous attention to operational and research details, the capacity to juggle multiple priorities efficiently, and the ability to communicate complex

- •Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
- •Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
- •Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
- •Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
- •Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
- •A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
