Role Purpose
The purpose of this volunteer recruitment is to support the Ready for Tomorrow project in strengthening evidence-based reporting, learning, and accountability. Volunteers will play a critical role in collecting, validating, and analyzing project-related data, particularly through phone interviews and structured follow-ups with project beneficiaries, including youth participants and startup owners.

The volunteers will be deployed within Plan premises and selected partner organizations while reporting directly to Plan’s Project Manager and M&E project focal point
