Career Opportunities

M&E is a cross-sectoral career where you can work in health, education, law and governance, human rights, youth-focused programing, agriculture, amongst other focus areas. This is an advantage for M&E practitioners who want to specialize, like me, in one specific sector. I focused my work on education as I realized over the years that the work, I liked best occurred within learning environments, both formal and informal. Most M&E practitioners specialize in some way, whether on method or tool used in evaluation (like people who focus on geospatial mapping, qualitative analysis, or quantitative analysis, etc.) or a sector (like education). As you gain experience and learn more about M&E, you will find yourself drawn to specific projects or topics and can build your expertise in an area you identify.

Possible Future Jobs

Program Director with M&E, M&E Coordinator, M&E Officer/ Field Staff, M&E Officer/ Field Staff.
