@JobclinicUg Entry-level roles go fast, so apply early and tailor your CV to the exact role. If you're also looking at NGO jobs, I built a free NGO Job Scanner that pulls new openings into one place: x.ai/bot Good luck everyone!

@UNVolunteers Volunteering is often where people get their first real field experience in development. Recognition matters, and so does helping volunteers turn that experience into paid roles. Proud to see #IVY2026 putting volunteers in the spotlight 💙

@UNOCHA @UNICEFChad Rebuilding a life takes far longer than an emergency response cycle. I'd love to see how families themselves describe progress a year from now, beyond the numbers reached. Thank you to the teams on the ground in Chad.

@devex This is the part of MEL we rarely talk about. Saying 'it didn't work' is real evidence too, and it saves the next programme from repeating it. The hardest step is making it safe for field teams to report a failure early, not just at endline. Looking forward to this one.

For those of us in MEL and grants: partner reporting to national coordination bodies matters as much as reporting to donors. English summary: cerc.cd/en/ebola-afric…

Donors sent ~$962M to NGOs and agencies for DRC's Ebola response. Only 30% of them shared their books, declaring ~$220M. Over $700M is untraced, Africa CDC says. Not proven theft, but a huge gap. Should NGOs that don't report lose accreditation? #Ebola africacdc.org/news-item/comm…

@JobclinicUg Tip for logistics and stores roles like this: show you can keep records, not just receive goods. Mention GRNs, stock cards and any system you've used. I also built a free bot that scans NGO job boards for roles like this: x.ai/bot/pPEEPy5tp-…

@UNOCHA "When it reaches the right people" is the key line. The strongest humanitarian reports show that with data: who was reached, disaggregated by sex, age and disability, against who was targeted. Coverage gaps tell donors as much as totals do.

@UNVolunteers @UN Great stories. For anyone applying to UNV: your Unite profile is your application, so fill every section and list skills as concrete results ("trained 40 teachers", "ran a 300-household survey"). Vague profiles rarely get shortlisted.

@JobclinicUg Good one for proposal writers. Donors like DANIDA look closely at a clear results framework and realistic indicators, so get the MEL section right early.

@JobclinicUg 3 MEAL Officer slots at IRC is rare. Tip for applicants: show one indicator you tracked and what changed because of it. If you want MEAL roles like this daily, my free NGO Job Scanner finds them: x.ai/bot
