Since our founding in 2013, we have reached over 515 million people globally with our interventions. We deliver high impact for every dollar spent, as recognized by [GiveWell](https://www.givewell.org/charities/deworm-world-initiative), [The Life You Can Save](https://www.thelifeyoucansave.org/best-charities/evidence-action/), and [Charity Navigator](https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/900874591). We do development differently. We take a data-driven approach to identifying, scaling, and continuously improving programs that deliver immense impact, ensuring these solutions measurably improve the lives of millions. Our [Deworm the World Program](https://www.evidenceaction.org/dewormtheworld/) has helped governments in Africa and Asia deliver over 1.8 billion childhood deworming treatments, improving health, education, and incomes. [Safe Water Now](https://www.evidenceaction.org/dispensersforsafewater/) provides sustained safe water access to over 10 million people in Africa, preventing childhood illness and deaths.  We drive innovation: Our [Accelerator](https://www.evidenceaction.org/accelerator/) builds the next generation of exceptional programs, taking an approach most similar to a venture capital model. We are ruthless in [exiting programs](https://www.evidenceaction.org/were-shutting-down-no-lean-season-our-seasonal-migration-program-heres-why/) that do not meet our criteria; those that advance deliver outsized impact for millions of people.  We are global. Across nine countries in Africa and Asia, our 700+ people are united by a tremendous passion for our mission and impact. We are strong because of our diversity of experience, geography, and background—with over 90% of our people in the countries where our impact is focused.  We have big ambitions. Over the next decade, we’re setting our sights higher: We aim to reach over 600 million people globally to fulfill our vision of a world where hundreds of millions of people in the poorest places have better opportunities and their lives are measurably improved. We believe in bold and urgent action—because poverty doesn’t wait, and neither should we.  We need great people. Our success to date is due to the collective work of our amazing staff. To achieve our ambitious goals, we are looking for people who share our passion for evidence, cost-effectiveness, and scale. We seek individuals who take an entrepreneurial approach, enjoy tackling hard problems, and have a bias to action and results. If our vision and approach excite you as much as they do us, we invite you to join us. **Job purpose** The Officer Administrative and Logistics will ensure smooth functioning of the Abuja Country Office by providing administrative and logistics functions through effective coordination, planning, monitoring of office operations, logistics and reporting.
