Monitoring And Evaluation Specialist

Are you ready to turn raw, complex program data into actionable strategies that genuinely improve healthcare access for young women across Africa?

Tiko is an African nonprofit committed to strengthening the potential and resilience of adolescent girls across Africa. We address the “Triple Threat” of unintended pregnancy, HIV infection, and sexual and gender-based violence by building local health ecosystems that provide stigma-free, no-cost, quality-assured services.

Our model brings together key local actors: community-based organizations (CBO) with peer mobilisers who act as health companions to girls; public and private health clinics that deliver care; and retail partners that redeem Tiko Miles
-our behaviour-change incentive programme that rewards service uptake and feedback.

We invest in partners by strengthening CBO capacity, training frontline workers and providers, supporting clinic quality improvement, and compensating partners based on performance. Our technology platform connects all actors by enabling referrals, verifying service delivery, facilitating payments, and generating real-time data.

Tiko operates in six countries:
Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda, Burkina Faso, South Africa, and Nigeria, with additional offices in Portugal, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. For a clear overview of our work, we recommend watching this short video.

Globally, our team consists of +250 enthusiastic, international colleagues. Whether you are working from our biggest office in Nairobi, the fast-growing office in South Africa, or from home, our people are young, and our culture is global and dynamic. Our work environment is fast-paced, informal, and friendly.

We are open to remote work for this position and will happily accept applicants from anywhere in Nigeria and South Africa.

At Tiko, we believe young women deserve the power to choose when it comes to their sexual and reproductive health. We build digital platforms that link young women to local healthcare providers, services, and rewards, removing barriers to care and delivering measurable impact. We do not just run programs; we test, learn, and continuously iterate to maximise real-world outcomes.
