Project Officer
Region: Europe Office: The Hague, Netherlands Hours: 36 hours (full-time) Starting date: ASAP – 1 August (desired) Application Deadline: 4 July Hivos is seeking a dynamic and detail-oriented Project Officer with a strong affinity for Design, Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (DMEL) to join the Walking the Talk program. This role is uniquely positioned to bridge both program coordination and impact-driven monitoring, with approximately 50% of your time dedicated to supporting the organization and implementation of program activities, and 50% focused on driving a robust DMEL agenda. About the program European countries play a key role in advancing gender equality globally, yet funding for gender equality and feminist values through Official Development Aid (ODA) faces growing pressure. Despite being directly impacted by these decisions, (young) feminists and LGBTIQ+ individuals from the Majority World are not structurally engaged in shaping ODA or Feminist Foreign Policy (FFP). However, growing interest in FFP presents an opportunity to strengthen feminist approaches. To seize this momentum, the Walking the Talk consortium—led by Hivos (Netherlands) with Equipop (France), Restless Development (UK), and ODI Europe (Belgium)—leverages collective expertise to embed gender equality in foreign policies and ensure Majority World feminist voices shape ODA and FFP. The three-year, USD 7 million program launched in August 2023. For more information, you can visit the website https://hivos.org/program/walking-the-talk/ Job context As Project Officer / DMEL officer, you will play a dual role within the Walking the Talk program: supporting the organization and delivery of key program activities and leading on Design, Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (DMEL) processes. You will be a central member of the Coordination Team, ensuring the smooth planning and execution of our flagship Financing for Feminist Futures conference in Spain in October2025, alongside a series of smaller engagement events. At the same time, you will help shape and implement the program’s DMEL framework approach rooted in feminist principles — prioritizing participation, reflexivity, inclusivity, and attention to power dynamics while keeping in line with donor guidelines and internal Hivos procedures. Whether through co-developing learning questions or facilitating reflective spaces with partners, you will support the program to learn from practice and adapt in ways that strengthen movements and feminist organizing. We welcome applicants who have experience with feminist or participatory MEL approaches — or those with a strong interest in learning and applying them in practice. Responsibilities Program Coordination and Facilitation Design, Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (DMEL) Your Profile The ideal candidate is an organized, thoughtful, and values-driven professional who thrives in dynamic, cross-cultural environments and is committed to feminist principles.
