An ongoing increase of project funding and private sector engagement in Africa means global development hiring on the fastest-growing continent won’t be slowing down this year. And as funders and implementers alike are putting more importance on measuring the results and impact of their work, the field of monitoring and evaluation has taken off.

These are just a few of the trends backed up in a recent Devex “Career Trends in 2015” survey.
