Monitoring and evaluation officer – 100% – N’Djamena At Children of the World

Enfants du Monde (EdM) is a Swiss non-governmental organization (NGO), specializing in the fields of education and health and working on several continents.

In Chad, Enfants du Monde is implementing, on behalf of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and under the aegis of the Ministry of National Education and Civic Promotion (MENPC), the Program for the Promotion of the Quality of Basic Education (ProQEB) in the provinces of Batha, Moyen Chari, Mandoul and Wadi Fira, the 4th phase of which runs from January 2023 to December 2025. EdM is also implementing, on behalf of the French Development Agency, the Improving Learning for Youth Empowerment (ALAPAJ) program in the provinces of Mandoul, Wadi Fira, Ouaddaï and Logone Oriental.

The ProQEB, in its 4th phase (2023–2025), aims to strengthen the process of institutionalization and scaling up by generalizing the tools, strategies and pedagogical innovations that have proven their relevance and effectiveness. At the same time, in a logic of subsidiarity, the ProQEB will consolidate the strengthening of the technical and institutional capacities of the parties involved in the program to promote the autonomy of these structures in carrying out interventions. As for the ALAPAJ program, it aims to contribute, through education, to the inclusion and emancipation of Chadian populations living in vulnerable conditions, particularly young girls, out-of-school children in peripheral rural areas as well as displaced/refugee populations.
