Job Opportunity: Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) Officer

Since 1992, The Asia Foundation has partnered with government, civil society and private sector partners to develop Timor-Leste and its people.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a long-term partner to Timor-Leste’s ongoing development. The Nabilan Program goals are to ensure that everyone in Timor-Leste lives free from violence, is protected, and can contribute to a stronger society; and to reduce acceptability and use of violence in Timor-Leste. It is expected that Nabilan will continue to Phase 3, starting in July 2022 for a further 4 years.

• Provide mentoring and technical support to Nabilan partner NGOs on M&E and reporting.
