About Concern: Established in 1968, Concern is a non-profit, non-governmental humanitarian organisation, dedicated to the reduction of suffering and the ultimate elimination of extreme poverty in the world’s poorest countries.
Concern’s vision, our mission and our work are all defined by one goal – ending extreme poverty, whatever it takes. Concern strives for a world free from poverty, fear and oppression.

Our education programming aims to improve the lives of extremely poor and vulnerable children in a sustainable way by increasing access to high quality primary education and supporting wellbeing.
Background of the FCDO Transforming Education in Ethiopia Project:
In Ethiopia, many children are out of school or at risk of dropping out, in particular girls and other marginalised groups. Progress has been made in expanding education access for children across the country, however, since 2019 progress stalled due to conflict and instability, climate-induced shocks, and the impact of Covid-19 and wider macroeconomic challenges around inflation which exacerbated existing inequalities.
In response, the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) aims to improve teaching quality and learning outcomes and increase access to education for girls and marginalised children through the ‘Transforming Education in Ethiopia’ project (2024-2028). The project will focus on three key components below:
Role Purpose:
The MEAL Lead will be responsible for developing and implementing the project’s Monitoring, Evaluation, Adaptation and Learning Strategy and monitoring plan in accordance with Concern & consortium, FCDO, and international best practices. The MEAL Lead will work closely with MEAL advisors and technical staff across the consortium to ensure that relevant data is collected, analysed, and used to inform management and design decisions and to provide project updates, as required.
