Resilience, Environment, and Humanitarian Aid (REHA) is a national NGO registered with the Afghan Ministry of Economy, specializing in environmental protection, climate change, disaster risk reduction, and sustainable development. REHA employs a holistic approach that integrates technical interventions (e.g., environmental restoration, resource management, infrastructure development) with policy and capacity-building efforts (e.g., advocacy, training, research, and community engagement) to enhance resilience against environmental and humanitarian challenges.

REHA’s expertise includes designing and implementing advocacy campaigns, conducting capacity-building training, performing risk and vulnerability assessments, developing policies, and raising public awareness. These efforts are complemented by physical interventions and community empowerment initiatives, all aimed at enhancing resilience against natural disasters, emergencies, and climate change impacts.

Within the State of the Environment (SoE) & Climate Change Adaptation and Climate Resilience (CCA&CR) Assessment Project, REHA aims to assess Afghanistan’s environmental conditions, analyze key challenges, and provide recommendations for evidence-based policymaking and sustainable development strategies.

The Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Specialist will play a critical role in designing, implementing, and overseeing the monitoring and evaluation framework for the project. The specialist will ensure that project activities, environmental assessments, and climate adaptation initiatives are effectively monitored, measured, and evaluated based on key performance indicators.

This role involves developing data collection tools, tracking project progress, assessing the effectiveness of interventions, and ensuring data-driven decision-making. The M&E Specialist will work closely with the international consultant, national stakeholders, and REHA team to integrate best practices in monitoring, learning, and evaluation.
