Background:
DRI is a non-partisan, independent, not-for-profit organisation registered in Berlin. DRI accompanies and engages people who are working to build, preserve and defend democratic and accountable institutions – especially in moments of significant change. The organisation supports the building of democracies through public debates, participation and accountable policymaking, and helps defending democratic governance.
In the MENA region, DRI has been accompanying democratic processes in various countries since 2008. With country offices in Tunisia, Lebanon and Libya, DRI benefits from solid comparative knowledge on governance processes in the region and an extensive network of national experts and partner organisations. Since 2017, DRI has been increasingly active in the field of social media monitoring (SMM), strengthening local capacities to monitor social media during elections, creating evidence in different countries, gathering expert organisations, producing methodologies and informing the public and expert debate.
In the framework of the project “Countering Disinformation and Hate Speech in the MENA”, DRI seeks to contribute to strengthened safeguarding of democratic processes and society’s resilience to disinformation and hate speech in the region. DRI works with partner organisations from four countries (Jordan, Lebanon, Sudan, Tunisia), strengthening local capacities to monitor and analyse disinformation and hate speech during key national democratic processes, while building a regional network to allow for comparative analysis and peer learning. The project also seeks to raise awareness of decision makers, tech companies, and civic target groups on the project’s findings, while developing national and regional recommendations (including possible regulation) to combat online disinformation and hate speech.
DRI is recruiting a full-time Project and MEL Coordinator for the project office in Tunis. Under the supervision of the North Africa Representative, you will coordinate and provide oversight to all phases of project implementation in close collaboration with a second Project Coordinator and the Senior Social Media Analyst and Data Analyst, including monitoring and updating of workplans, effective delivery of project activities, the fulfilment of reporting requirements, as well as ensuring compliance

In close cooperation with DRI Tunisia’s MEL Officer, you will develop the overall project monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) strategy, ensuring successful implementation and providing respective support to partner organisations. You will act as the focal point for partner organisations in Lebanon and Jordan and coordinate and oversee related assessment processes, capacity-building activities, and sub-granting procedures, while ensuring compliance with donor regulations and DRI’s internal policies and procedures. You will also contribute to the planning and organisation of regional level activities in close cooperation with the project team.
