Lead with frameworks, tools and indicators
Name the frameworks you've worked inside — logframes, theories of change, results frameworks — and the indicators you owned. Then name your tools concretely: KoboToolbox, ODK, DHIS2, Power BI, SPSS, Stata, or R. Vague "data analysis" lines lose to candidates who name the stack.
Crucially, close the loop. Don't just say you ran a survey; say what the finding changed — a targeting decision, a budget reallocation, a programme redesign. M&E that influenced a decision is worth more than M&E that filled a report.
- Frameworks: logframe, theory of change, results framework
- Data tools: KoboToolbox, ODK, DHIS2, Power BI, SPSS, Stata, R
- Methods: baseline/endline, PDM, third-party monitoring, RCTs
- Always state the decision your data informed
Show donor reporting fluency
M&E lives next to donor compliance. Demonstrating that you've reported against BHA, ECHO, FCDO or GFFO indicator sets — and survived an audit or evaluation — signals you can be trusted with the parts of the job that protect funding.
M&E CV must-haves
- Named frameworks and the indicators you owned
- Specific data tools, not generic 'data analysis'
- Survey methods (baseline, endline, PDM, TPM)
- The decision each piece of analysis informed
- Donor reporting and evaluation experience
- Relevant training: IPC, MEAL, statistics

Frequently asked questions
- What tools should an M&E CV mention?
- Name the ones you've actually used — typically KoboToolbox or ODK for collection, DHIS2 for health data, and Power BI, SPSS, Stata or R for analysis. Specific tools beat generic phrasing every time.
- How do I show impact on an M&E CV?
- For each result, state what the data changed: a targeting decision, a reallocation, a redesign. M&E that influenced a decision reads far stronger than M&E that produced a report.
