About this Assistant Director: Programme Monitoring and Evaluation (2 posts) position
Introduction
Monitoring and evaluation graduates have two openings at the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment. The assistant director posts cover programme monitoring and evaluation for the department's environmental programmes, with work that ranges from desktop analysis of active projects to capturing field data and writing recommendations. The salary is R487 197 per year under reference EP24/2026. You must apply online by 19 October 2026 at 16:00 using the department's e-recruitment site.
Two posts are available, which improves the odds for graduates with a research or social science background. Show the evaluation methods you know, such as logic models, indicators and data collection tools, and explain how you turned findings into recommendations. The advert asks for three years of monitoring and evaluation or research experience, so include academic research only if it was substantial. Strong Excel and report writing skills help here. Because the department's environmental programmes run in many provinces, be ready to explain how you would handle fieldwork data. Apply online only and upload one PDF.
