Senior Associate, MEL (Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning) - CATALYZE EduFinance
About Palladium:
Palladium is a global company working to design, develop and
deliver positive impact on the lives and livelihoods of people around the
globe; broaden access to health, water, power, and infrastructure; build
enduring, sustainable, and transformative institutions and market systems to
address global challenges; and conserve the natural world. We operate in over
90 countries and have a workforce of 4,000 talented, motivated, and diverse
staff of all religions, races, languages, and gender identities.
This Opportunity:
CATALYZE is a $250 million 8-year program, designed to
mobilize $2 billion in private capital, especially to underfinanced social
sectors (such as education) and higher risk countries (especially low-income
and post-conflict countries) around the globe, complemented by a cross-cutting
inclusion of gender-lens investing. CATALYZE serves as a "platform of
platforms" that provides services to many missions and bureaus that "buy in" to
tap the CATALYZE investment and pay-for-results project management expertise. Our aim is for investors to explore and find
commercially viable opportunities and approaches to creating jobs, developing
sustainable social services, tightening, and rationalizing supply chains, and
advancing inclusive growth - ultimately, reducing the need for development
institutions to provide donor funding.
