The Monitoring and Evaluation Verification Specialist pool undertakes practical field checks of reported health-service and health-systems results across Uganda. Working within multidisciplinary teams, specialists review routine health-information data, electronic systems, programme and administrative material, and source records to determine whether reported milestones are accurate, complete, consistent, traceable and supported by verifiable evidence. Assignments may cover communities, health facilities, districts and local governments, referral hospitals, the Ministry of Health and other relevant national entities.

The specialist samples, recounts, reconciles and traces reported results to the underlying records, using approved protocols and tools. The work includes assessing data quality, maintaining audit trails, documenting discrepancies and submitting evidence for quality assurance and consolidation. Specialists also prepare reported-versus-verified summaries, participate in debriefs and communicate findings objectively. Field assignments may take place across Uganda, and the role requires accuracy, confidentiality, integrity and the ability to work to defined verification timelines.
