Making Cents International seeks a Monitoring and Evaluation Officer to work on the USAID-funded Ukraine National Identity Through Youth (UNITY) activity.

To that end, this activity addresses the key domains identified in USAID’s Positive Youth Development (PYD) approach: building youth assets, fostering resilience, offering age-appropriate experiences for youth contribution, and strengthening the enabling environment, while intentionally and safely promoting dialogue and belonging around this pluralistic identity and incentivizing participation and leadership by historically marginalized groups.
