Cloneshouse is always seeking passionate, goal-oriented, diligent individuals who are interested in the growing field of Monitoring and Evaluation and are willing to invest time and effort to learn the theoretical and practical aspects of the various Monitoring and Evaluation components; including the best practices that are obtainable per time.

As part of our commitment to strengthening capacities on evaluation, especially for young people – we rolled out the 7-month Cloneshouse African Internship Program (CAIP) for the first time in October 2019 to fill the gaps of emerging evaluators that have been identified from our past work. We had two females on that first-ever batch which was not pre-determined in any way, as only female applicants of the opportunity turned for the screening test. Since then, we have been fortunate to have a blend of both genders follow through the entire process and join the program.

Since then, we have also introduced the Cloneshouse European Internship Programme (CEIP), which welcomed seven young and emerging evaluators from across the European region. Building on the success, experiences, and lessons from both programmes, we have now merged them into a single global internship- the Cloneshouse Internship Programme (CIP). This new model expands inclusion by welcoming applicants from all parts of the world rather than specific regions only. To reflect this broader reach and increasing demand, the cohort size has also been scaled up from 8 to 15 interns per cycle.

My internship program at Cloneshouse has provided an in-depth insight on the development of Monitoring and Evaluation plan or framework, on how its utilization can help with the strategic implementation of a project or programme from start to finish. And most importantly the benefit of working as a team with a common goal and common passion to make a change. The internship has given me the passion and curiosity to be a changemaker with the right skills and tools to implement a project.

My internship at Cloneshouse equipped me with the technical skills necessary to launch my career in the Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) field as a young professional. The projects I participated in allowed me to apply the theoretical knowledge I gained at university and directly practice my new M&E skills. Moreover, engaging with various professionals at Cloneshouse helped me expand my network and exchange knowledge, a network I continue to build on even a year after completing my internship
