Selam is a Pan-African organisation with offices in Addis Ababa, Nairobi, and Stockholm. The organisation was created in 1997 and has since evolved into an international player, partnering with artists, cultural producers, the private sector, the media, institutions, researchers, and national and regional governments across the African continent as well in other regions in the world.
Selam participates in global and African culture networks, as well as annual networking meetings and Pan-African conferences in Africa, Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean, and Asia. Selam has implemented several regional and national projects on the African continent. Currently Selam implements, together with partners, two Pan-African projects, PANAF and Connect for Culture Africa (CfCA) and one national project in Ethiopia.
The CfCA initiative, implemented by Selam in partnership with the African Union (AU), aims to promote and develop the culture and creative sector within the AU member states. One key objective of the initiative is to lobby for increased public funding in the culture sector from government sources.
To support the CfCA project in achieving its objectives, Selam is seeking to hire a Planning, Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (PMEL) officer. The officer will be based in Nairobi, Kenya or Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
The successful candidate will be responsible for overseeing the overall planning, monitoring, evaluation and learning of the project in accordance with existing work and monitoring plans. The candidate will further develop new PMEL routines and work closely with staff and partners to support these functions across the project.
- SCOPE OF WORK
The MEL expert will be part of the CfCA implementing team and work closely with the program directors and coordinators both at Selam’s head-quarter (HQ) in Stockholm and regional offices in Nairobi, Kenya and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
The expert will be the main party responsible for ongoing monitoring of the project’s progress against its objectives. This includes:
- Preparing and implementing tools for data collection, such as evaluation surveys, interview questions etc.
