Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Officer

• . No CSS classes, no inline styles, no
  , no
  . Must preserve all original content word-for-word, but we need to strip the style tags and formatting. So we need to extract the plain text content from the given HTML, preserving line breaks? The instruction: "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase". However we must convert to semantic HTML tags. The original content includes many spans with styles; we need to extract the text inside them, preserving the text exactly as appears (including spaces, punctuation). Also we need to keep line breaks? The original had

  and
  tags; we should convert paragraphs to

  and list items to

  • . We should not add extra content. We need to parse the given HTML and produce a cleaned version. Let's extract the text content in order. Given HTML: First block:

    Position Title: Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Officer

    So text: "Position Title: Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Officer" Note there is a space before "Monitoring"? In the HTML: after the first span closing, there is a space? Actually the second span starts with a space before "Monitoring". So we should keep that space. So "Position Title: Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Officer". Good. Next:

    Position Location: Kigali, Rwanda

    => "Position Location: Kigali, Rwanda" Next:

    Reports To: MEL & Data Compliance Manager

    => "Reports To: MEL & Data Compliance Manager" (note the & should be &). We need to preserve original content word-for-word, but the original HTML entity & represents an ampersand. The visible text is "MEL & Data Compliance Manager". So we should output that. Next:

    Contract Term: Annual with option for renewal

    => "Contract Term: Annual with option for renewal" Next:

    Salary Level: (USD) $36,000 – $48,000 per Annum

    Note there is a space after colon inside the first span? Actually "Salary Level: " includes a space after colon. Then second span starts with "(USD) $36,000 – $48,000 per Annum". So output: "Salary Level: (USD) $36,000 – $48,000 per Annum". Note the dash is an en dash? We'll keep as is. Next:

    Languages Required: English, working knowledge of French, Kinyarwanda or Swahili will be an advantage

    => "Languages Required: English, working knowledge of French, Kinyarwanda or Swahili will be an advantage" Next:

    APPLICATION DEADLINE: September 1, 2026

    => "APPLICATION DEADLINE: September 1, 2026" Next:

    EXPECTED START DATE: As soon as possible at the conclusion of the recruitment process

    Note there is a space after colon inside first span? "EXPECTED START DATE: " includes a space. Then second span starts with "As soon...". So output: "EXPECTED START DATE: As soon as possible at the conclusion of the recruitment process" Then we have two

    
    

    lines (empty). We can ignore them as they produce empty paragraphs; but we should not add extra content. Probably we can just omit them because they contain no text. The instruction: preserve ALL original content word-for-word. If we omit the
    tags, we are removing them. However they said no
    tags allowed in output. So we must not include
    . The original content includes
    tags that represent line breaks. Since we cannot use
    , we need to represent line breaks via paragraph tags. The two consecutive

    
    

    essentially produce blank lines. We could represent them as empty
    ? But they said use

    for introductory paragraphs and general text. An empty paragraph might be considered a paragraph with no content. Is that allowed? It might be okay but could be considered adding empty tags. However they said no
    tags, but didn't forbid empty

    . Safer to just omit them, as they contain no meaningful content. The instruction "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word" might be interpreted as the visible text content, not the formatting. Since they restrict tags, we must adapt. I think it's fine to skip empty paragraphs. Next:

    Are you passionate about Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning? WUSC is seeking a MEL Officer to track implementation progress and measure impact of its project.

    => "Are you passionate about Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning? WUSC is seeking a MEL Officer to track implementation progress and measure impact of its project." Then

    
    

    (empty) skip. Next:

    BACKGROUND

    => This is a heading. Should be

    BACKGROUND

    Next paragraph(s):

    WUSC is a Canadian global development organization working to catalyze positive education and economic outcomes for young people. We bring together and collaborate with a diverse network of partners (including students, volunteers, schools, governments, not-for-profits, and businesses) who share this mission. Together, we influence systems change, and foster inclusive, youth-centered solutions that enable young people to thrive and belong. We work with all young people, with a focus on women and displaced populations.  WUSC currently operates in 28 countries across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as in Canada, with an annual budget of approximately CAD $65 million. Our global team includes over 100 staff in Canada and more than 250 staff internationally, implementing a diverse portfolio of development projects in collaboration with numerous multilateral and bilateral donors, and philanthropic foundations.

    Note there is a non-breaking space after "populations."? It shows "populations.  WUSC". We'll keep a space. Next paragraph:

    WUSC is currently recruiting a Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Officer who will provide support to the delivery of a five-year multi-country project supporting the growth of women led enterprises, particularly those led by young rural women. Funded by Mastercard Foundation, the project is deploying a combination of targeted business development services and access to finance to support the sustainable growth of MSMEs led or owned by women. The project is implemented in Ethiopia, Rwanda, Ghana and Nigeria with a broad range of local partners. WUSC works in close partnership with an access to finance partner, Seedstars,  responsible for capital deployment, with WUSC coordinating business development services delivered in partnership with local Enterprise Support Organisations (ESOs). WUSC will implement a robust learning strategy to assess multiple use cases for deploying both financial services and business development support (BDS), and to evaluate their impact on traditionally underserved groups, particularly young women in rural areas. WUSC has the overall management responsibility of the project.

    Then

    
    

    skip. Next heading:

    RESPONSIBILITIES

    =>

    RESPONSIBILITIES

    Then paragraph:

    Under the supervision of the MEL and Data Compliance Manager, the MEL Officer will be responsible for supporting the monitoring, evaluation and learning activities of the Pathways to Scale project across its implementing Countries. His/her roles and responsibilities will include;

    => That's a paragraph. Then

    
    

    skip. Then we have a bold heading inside a span: "Support Implementation of the Project MEL Plan" This is not wrapped in a heading tag but bold. According to rules, we should use

    for section headers like Responsibilities, Qualifications, etc. This is a subheading under RESPONSIBILITIES. Should we treat it as

    ? The instruction: Use

    for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). It doesn't forbid using

    for other subheadings. It says use

    for section headers (e.g. ...). So we can use

    for any header. So we should wrap that bold text in

    . Similarly for other bold headings like "MEL tools Design, Deployment and Quality Assurance", "Communications, knowledge management and Reporting Duties", "Work environment". Also later under QUALIFICATIONS AND COMPETENCIES we have "Education", "Experience & Competencies", "Languages". Also "WHY WORK WITH WUSC?" is a heading but preceded by a colored span; also there is a bold colored paragraph after that: "Join Us. Our work is important, cutting-edge, and rewarding. We encourage curiosity, innovation, and flexibility." That's more like a tagline; maybe treat as

    ? It's bold and colored but not a section header. We'll keep as

    (since it's not a section header). Then after that a paragraph. Then "Here’s some of what you can expect working with us:" is a paragraph, then a list. Then "APPLICATIONS" heading. We need to preserve all text exactly. Let's extract all sections sequentially. I'll go through the HTML and produce a list of elements with their types. I'll write a pseudo parser but manually. Start: 1. Position Title: Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Officer ->

    2. Position Location: Kigali, Rwanda ->

    3. Reports To: MEL & Data Compliance Manager ->

    4. Contract Term: Annual with option for renewal ->

    5. Salary Level: (USD) $36,000 – $48,000 per Annum ->

    6. Languages Required: English, working knowledge of French, Kinyarwanda or Swahili will be an advantage ->

    7. APPLICATION DEADLINE: September 1, 2026 ->

    8. EXPECTED START DATE: As soon as possible at the conclusion of the recruitment process ->

    9. (skip empty paragraphs) 10. Are you passionate about Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning? WUSC is seeking a MEL Officer to track implementation progress and measure impact of its project. ->

    11. (skip empty) 12. BACKGROUND ->

    BACKGROUND

    13. Paragraph: WUSC is a Canadian global development organization ... (first background paragraph) ->

    14. Paragraph: WUSC is currently recruiting a Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Officer ... (second background paragraph) ->

    15. (skip empty) 16. RESPONSIBILITIES ->

    RESPONSIBILITIES

    17. Paragraph: Under the supervision of the MEL and Data Compliance Manager, the MEL Officer will be responsible for supporting the monitoring, evaluation and learning activities of the Pathways to Scale project across its implementing Countries. His/her roles and responsibilities will include; ->

    18. (skip empty) 19. Subheading: Support Implementation of the Project MEL Plan ->

    Support Implementation of the Project MEL Plan

    20. Then a
    list with items: - Implement and contribute to the regular update of the MEL Plan, in line with Results-Based Management (RBM) principles, as well as organizational requirements; - Carry out all MEL-related tasks (such as planning, coordination of monitoring and data collection activities, training of staff, etc.) in accordance with the project’s MEL plan; - Support the capacity strengthening of partners in MEL and Data Compliance to ensure their meaningful participation in all stages of the MEL plan, including the design of the MEL framework and tools, data collection activities, data analysis, and the dissemination and use of findings. - Provide high quality technical support on planning, development and implementation of the MEL plan to project and partner staff; and - Contributing to regular communication and coordination with regard to the collection and exchange of MEL-related information with project stakeholders. Note: The last item originally had a closing then some stray text? Let's check original:
    • Contributing to regular communication and coordination with regard to the collection and exchange of MEL-related information with project stakeholders.
    That's fine. 21. Then

    
    

    skip. 22. Subheading: MEL tools Design, Deployment and Quality Assurance ->

    MEL tools Design, Deployment and Quality Assurance

    Note there is a trailing non-breaking space after the bold? In HTML: "MEL tools Design, Deployment and Quality Assurance " There's an extra bold span with a non-breaking space. So the heading text is "MEL tools Design, Deployment and Quality Assurance" followed by a space. We'll keep the space? Probably we should keep the text exactly: "MEL tools Design, Deployment and Quality Assurance " (with trailing space). But heading likely shouldn't have trailing space. However we must preserve original content word-for-word. The visible text includes that space? It's a non-breaking space, but visually it's a space. I'd include it as part of the heading text; but it's odd. I think we can trim? The instruction says preserve ALL original content word-for-word. That includes spaces. So we should keep the space. However headings usually not have trailing space; but we must follow instruction. I'll keep the space inside the heading text. Then the list items: - Assist in creating, reviewing, deploying, and updating MEL tools to track activities, collect program data, and support evidence-based reporting and adaptive learning - Support development and enforcement of P2S data protection measures, ensuring legal compliance, strong privacy protocols, and an inclusive, MERL-ready data platform; - Support the MEL and Data Compliance Manager to identify training needs of staff including local partner staff working on the project and recommend actions for improving capacity with regard to MEL; - Ensure that MEL activities are carried out by partners in accordance with the project's MEL Plan and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs); - Work with technical staff and partners to ensure that the necessary MEL data is collected and submitted through the MEL data management system. -
