The MENTOR Initiative (‘MENTOR’) is a humanitarian organisation specialising in disease control and improving access to healthcare in emergency settings across countries in Africa, the Middle East and South America. MENTOR is the leading organisation dedicated to the control of malaria and other vector borne diseases in complex, challenging settings.

MENTOR delivers large scale disease control interventions working with remote and underserved communities affected by emergencies such as conflict and natural disasters. We also help build the technical and operational capacity of local and international partners to incorporate medium- and long-term disease control systems into their operations and country strategy.

You will make sure that the information collected is reflected upon, used to improve programme implementation, and is incorporated into consistently high-quality reports. The MEAL Officer will lead the development and implementation of MENTOR’s M&E framework and tools for the Gaza Lifeline project.
