About the role
your mission
Maliasili is looking for a Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) specialist to lead on delivering MEL organizational development (OD) support to partners. Maliasili is a dynamic and innovative organization that is taking a different approach to driving locally-led conservation impact in Africa. We find the best local conservation organizations and make them better by strengthening their organizational performance, leadership, and resources so that they can achieve greater impact. Our partner portfolio includes outstanding local and national organizations across Africa at the forefront of wildlife conservation, land restoration, and coastal fisheries. Our partners are pioneering conservation approaches grounded in community and indigenous land rights, generating economic opportunities from nature-based businesses, and restoring ecosystems across many of Africa’s most important landscapes.
Our goals are to build a portfolio of Africa’s best local conservation organizations, help them
collaborate and learn from each other, and scale up their community-based conservation work
and leadership capacity within the conservation field. Since Maliasili was founded over a decade
ago, we’ve shaped a community of 182 conservation leaders across 18 countries and support a
portfolio of roughly 60 partners in 16 countries with a growing set of tools to help improve their
organizational performance. We have helped our partners generate or leverage more than $27.3
million in funding for their work, increasing their impact in the critical landscapes and
ecosystems they work in.
We’re successful at what we do because our team operates on shared values, including putting people first, making the complex simple, and being willing to constantly laugh, learn, and adapt. The Partner MEL Senior Manager we’re looking for will be someone who shares these values and is deeply passionate about ensuring community conservation can demonstrate their impact. We work with cutting-edge management and leadership tools that invite us to be courageous, kind, and independent thinkers who thrive in a team.
