The programme will contract an independent monitoring partner to deploy thematic and contextual experts throughout Sudan to conduct in-person and/or remote monitoring and capacity building activities with three core objectives: 1. Assurance & Capacity Building: Improving confidence in results and the quality of delivery, including supporting partners to improve practice/s through bespoke technical assistance. 2.
