ITDP’s Global Program is seeking a Monitoring and Evaluations (M&E) Intern. ITDP’s M&E program measures the impact of work done by the entire organization.

The M&E Intern will be responsible for assisting with the day-to-day tasks of each of those work areas. They will also be responsible for identifying and pursuing opportunities to improve those workflows.
The M&E Intern will report directly to the Monitoring and Evaluation Associate. They will work with the M&E Working Group (a team that includes a representative from each ITDP regional office), as well as ITDP’s Development team.
The internship will last from January 2025 to May 2025, with a possibility of extension depending on academic eligibility (interns must be enrolled students) and at the discretion of ITDP staff.
