MONITORING, EVALUATION & LEARNING ASSISTANT – One Economy Foundation

Employers usually look for a diploma or bachelor's degree in social sciences, development studies, statistics, or a related field. Additional training in M&E frameworks, data analysis tools like Excel or SPSS, and report writing strengthens your application.

You will typically support data collection, entry, and cleaning, assist with field visits, and help compile progress reports. The role also involves maintaining M&E databases, filing project evidence, and supporting learning sessions or evaluations.

Namibian workplaces value punctuality, respect for hierarchy, and clear written communication, especially in development organisations. You are expected to work collaboratively with field teams, meet reporting deadlines, and handle data confidentially and ethically.

With experience, you can progress to M&E Officer, then M&E Coordinator or Manager, especially if you build skills in data analysis, evaluation design, and donor reporting. Many professionals also move into programme management or research roles within NGOs or government.

Benefits commonly include annual leave, sick leave, medical aid contributions, and sometimes a pension or provident fund. Some employers also offer a housing or transport allowance, but this varies by organisation and contract type.

Submit a concise CV and a tailored cover letter that highlights your data handling, report writing, and field experience. Employers look for attention to detail, proficiency in Excel or data tools, and an understanding of development project cycles.
