What it’s like to work at CARE?

• CARE is a mission-driven international humanitarian aid and development organization that offers an opportunity to work with people across the world. Not a day will go by that you won’t learn something profound, meet an expert, or write a sentence that can change a life. We are committed to an environment where everyone can succeed.

• CARE Bangladesh is going to implement "The Protocols and Trigger‑based Institutional Systems for Timely Humanitarian & Anticipatory Action (PROTISTHAA)" project funded by DG ECHO, from April 2026 to March 2028, targets high‑risk regions across Bangladesh—specifically the northern flood‑prone districts of Gaibandha, Kurigram, Bogura, Sirajganj, Jamalpur, and Sherpur; the northeastern haor districts of Sunamganj and Sylhet; the coastal cyclone‑exposed belt of Bagerhat, Barguna, Bhola, Patuakhali, Pirojpur, Khulna, and Satkhira; and the *33 Rohingya camps in Cox’s Bazar. Led by CARE Bangladesh with ACF, ACTED, RIMES, and local partners ESDO, Uttaran, and NSS, the consortium project strengthens a nationwide multi‑hazard anticipatory action system by advancing impact‑based forecasting, improving early warning dissemination, and institutionalizing trigger‑based decision protocols. The project also enhances local planning, supports predictable financing through Disaster Management Funds, and builds community preparedness through training and simulations. By operationalizing the forecast–trigger–finance–action chain, the project seeks to reduce loss of life, protect livelihoods, and improve resilience among disaster‑prone populations across Bangladesh. This project highly needs a Consortium MEAL Manager for effective monitoring, documentation, learning and accountibility.

• The Consortium MEAL Manager will provide strategic oversight, direction, and coordination for monitoring, evaluation, accountability, and learning across all consortium partners. S/he will lead the design and harmonisation of a robust MEAL system that ensures quality data, unified reporting, strong accountability mechanisms, and evidence‑driven learning across 15 disaster‑prone districts and 33 camps.

• This role is responsible for ensuring compliance with donor requirements, government expectations, and consortium standards—including indicator tracking, baseline and endline studies, after‑action reviews, learning products, environmental safeguards, and data protection. The position provides technical leadership to partner MEAL teams, strengthens analytical capacity, and ensures that the project generates high‑quality evidence for both humanitarian and anticipatory action components.

• This position will be based at the CARE Bangladesh Dhaka Office (CBDO) and is contingent upon final funding approval.
