NGO Jobs in Ethiopia

81 open vacancies in the NGO sector across Ethiopia, 31 new this week. Find NGO vacancies from top employers — entry-level to senior roles. Updated daily on Palm Jobs.

Ethiopia hosts one of the largest humanitarian and development operations in the world, and the NGO sector is consistently among the country's biggest formal employers. International organisations, UN agencies, and local NGOs recruit programme officers, monitoring & evaluation (M&E) specialists, finance and admin staff, logisticians, health and nutrition officers, and field coordinators — both in Addis Ababa head offices and in regional field locations.

NGO recruitment often follows donor funding cycles, so openings can appear in waves and close quickly; many positions have firm application deadlines. Fluency in English is usually required, and additional local languages are a strong advantage for field-based roles.
