MONITORING, EVALUATION & LEARNING ASSISTANT – One Economy Foundation 8 views

Most employers expect at least a diploma or bachelor's degree in social sciences, development studies, statistics, or a related field. A certificate in monitoring and evaluation from a recognised Namibian or regional institution can strengthen your application. Practical experience with data collection tools like KoboToolbox or Excel is often valued.

You will typically support data collection, entry, and cleaning for project indicators, and help prepare basic reports for programme teams. The role also involves organising field visits, maintaining M&E files, and assisting with learning sessions or documentation of lessons learned.

Namibian employers generally value punctuality, respect for hierarchy, and the ability to work both independently and in diverse teams. You may be expected to travel to project sites in different regions, so flexibility and good communication in English and local languages are important.

With experience, you can progress to Monitoring & Evaluation Officer, then to M&E Coordinator or Manager roles within NGOs, government, or development agencies. Further training in data analysis, research methods, or project management supports this growth.

Full-time roles often include annual leave, sick leave, and sometimes medical aid or pension contributions, depending on the employer. Some organisations also provide transport or per diem allowances for field travel, but benefits vary by employer and contract type.

You usually apply by submitting a cover letter, CV, and certified copies of qualifications, often via email or an online portal. Employers look for clear evidence of data handling, report writing, and field experience, as well as references who can confirm your reliability and attention to detail.
