Project Coordinator-Monitoring, Evaluation Accountability and Learning
Project Coordinator-Monitoring, Evaluation Accountability and Learning at CARE January, 2023
CARE Tanzania seeks to recruit a self-motivated, results driven, dynamic, suitably qualified, competent and dedicated Tanzanian to fill the position of Project Coordinator-Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL) to be based in Korogwe-Tanga.

JOB SUMMARY
CARE Tanzania in collaboration with KAZI YETU and Tanzania Smallholder Tea Development Agency (TASHTDA) aims to support women farmers, to acquire knowledge, access, and control of productive resources for increased productivity, income, and autonomy, to leverage the accumulated capital and revolving credit held by VSLAs. Improving productivity requires capital to access agricultural inputs, technologies, tools, machines and for farm management and all these have been the major struggle of the farmers to support their investment. CARE will apply an innovative Collective Investment Model, whereby VSLAs will mobilize and pull together capital and utilize different platforms to incentivize women famers to invest and leverage their own capital to address key constraints, increasing market access and potential for women own agri-business. CARE’s VSLA approach is supported by Chomoka, an innovative digital platform that was launched in Tanzania.
