NGO Jobs in Addis Ababa

Ethiopia's NGO Capital

Addis Ababa is home to the African Union headquarters, the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, and the regional offices of virtually every major international NGO and UN agency operating on the continent. The city hosts more than 200 registered international NGOs alongside hundreds of local civil-society organisations, making it the most active development-sector job market in sub-Saharan Africa. Positions here range from headquarters-level policy and coordination roles at INGOs like Save the Children, World Vision, and IRC to programme management posts at UN agencies including UNICEF, WFP, UNHCR, and IOM. Competition is strong but salaries are generally the highest in the Ethiopian sector.
