Full-Time Jobs in Ethiopia

Full-time positions are the backbone of Ethiopia's development sector workforce. Most INGOs, UN agencies, and established local NGOs hire on fixed-term employment contracts — typically one to two years, renewable — that come with a full benefits package including health insurance, pension contributions, and annual leave. For national staff, these roles often follow the Ethiopian Labour Proclamation; for international staff, salaries are set against UN or organisation-specific global scales. Full-time openings represent the broadest category of development-sector employment in Ethiopia and are the most common route into a long-term NGO career.
