Overview

The USAID funded Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governance Project (KPG) aims to support transitional activities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province to promote democratic processes, strengthen the ability of provincial government to be responsive to citizen needs, and create opportunities for gender equality and women’s empowerment thus bringing positive changes in attitude, perceptions and behavior about the quality of governance in the province. The project will promote the success of the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (GoKP) and its reform agenda by engaging directly with the provincial departments, sustaining public engagement and strategic communications, and providing integrated assistance “packages” of activities that support specific GoKP objectives. 

KPG Project, which commenced in March 2015 and currently completes February 2019, needs to have its program information entered into a database to enable better electronic storage, retrieval, reviewing, querying, running reports, etc. As such, we are in urgent need for the immediate entry of beneficiaries’ and pre, post-test data of various training into Excel spreadsheet(s). The Data Entry Operator (DEO), through their short-term technical assistance (STTA), will enter all the program data into the Excel spreadsheets within the allotted time while ensuring accuracy and completeness. An ideal DEO candidate will have prior data entry experience, including advanced typing skills with an eye for detail and accuracy, and practical working proficiency with Excel spreadsheets and electronic format forms. The DEO will primarily work with and report to the MIS Specialist.

Objective

The Data Entry Operator will enter KPG Project program information into an Excel spreadsheet; both the information and the spreadsheet template will be provided by the MIS Specialist. All information will be entered while working from the KPG Project Peshawar office. The DEO’s   responsibilities, in addition to ensuring complete and accurate information is entered into the spreadsheet in a timely manner, must save the work completed in regular short-term intervals, in two locations, e.g. desktop and external hard disk drive, to ensure in the event of a technical glitch that the completed work will not be lost. The DEO will enter all the provided program data (in both scanned and hard copy forms) into the provided Excel spreadsheet as agreed in advance with the MIS Specialist. The DEO will also calculate, and manually record, the scores of all the pre-test and post-test data prior to entering into the spreadsheet.
