You will be expected to meticulously monitor program effectiveness, prepare compelling and data-driven reports, and proactively recommend evidence-based improvements. This stimulating hybrid role offers the flexibility of working both remotely and from our vibrant Port Louis office, fostering a balanced, collaborative, and highly productive work environment.
