Background
Southern Hemisphere is a socio-economic development consultancy with the single-minded focus of creating meaningful social change. Our participatory approach involves collaborating with our clients to achieve a shared end vision for beneficiaries.

Founded in Cape Town and with the intention of assisting the transformation process in South Africa, we have over 22 years of experience and specialisation across multiple African territories with expertise in the Southern African region.

Whilst we are embedded in Africa, we are fortunate to have worked across all geographies and with multi-lateral organisations such as the UN agencies and various Foundations.

Our strong belief is that real change is possible only when organisations have both the inspiration and clarity of purpose to determine development solutions as well as the rigour to manage and measure the sustainability of the change.

Building a learning organisation is at the core of what we do and to that end we focus on a fresh and creative approach to monitoring, evaluation and learning for ourselves and for our clients.


Our core services are:

Evaluation and applied research; programme design and strategy; monitoring, evaluation and learning systems; and our training and learning hub.


Requirements:

  • Master's Degree in Evaluation, Social Sciences or related field;
  • Social Development sector experience;
  • Must be innovative, organised and flexible;
  • Must be open to learning;
  • Must be a selfstarter and able to work independently;
  • Have at least 2 years' experience working in the social development or related sector

Proven experience in some or all of the following areas would be an added advantage:

  • Applied research, monitoring and evaluation
  • Data collection, data analysis and report writing
  • Facilitation and training virtual and inperson
  • Proposal writing
  • Project and fieldwork coordination
  • Communication verbal and written skills
Please note that this is a salaried position.
