Monitoring and Evaluation Manager

Introduction

The Chura Abugida Kene-Tibebawi Mahiber (CAKTM) is a vibrant, youth-led organization registered under the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia (FDRE) Agency for Civil Society Organizations with the official Re-registry number 2808 in 2019. CAKTM envisions a future where youth in Tigray thrive both socioeconomically and politically, reaching their highest potential.

Over the past decade, CAKTM has implemented over 34 projects, directly benefiting more than 1.6 million young people. Its impact spans various sectors, including education, health, agriculture, peacebuilding, and economic development. However, the recent conflict in Tigray has severely impacted the region, leaving a significant portion of the youth population facing immense challenges, including limited access to education, high unemployment rates, and the psychological trauma of displacement.

To effectively address these challenges and continue its vital work, CAKTM, in partnership with Christian Aid and with the support of the European Commission, is implementing a four-year civil society support program in Ethiopia focused on “Strengthening Capacities, Independence, and Credibility of Local and Grassroots CSOs as Actors of Good Governance and Development in Ethiopia.”

To ensure the successful implementation of this critical program, CAKTM seeks to strengthen its human resources by recruiting highly qualified and motivated individuals to fill the Monitoring and Evaluation Manager.
