PROGRAM / DEPARTMENT SUMMARY Mercy Corps is seeking a Director of Collaborating, Learning, and Adapting (CLA) for the anticipated USAID-funded “Regional Resilience Activity in the Sahel Region.” Funded and managed out of the USAID Sahel Regional Office, the anticipated program seeks to expand resilience in the Sahel by improving the ability of individuals, households, and communities to mitigate, adapt to, and recover from multi-faceted shocks and stresses.

The CLA Director will use USAID’s Collaboration, Learning, and Adapting principles with a resilience lens to effectively integrate real time monitoring and learning back into the project strategy and program implementation and ensure knowledge is shared with the broader Sahelian implementation and donor community.
