Position Title: Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Officer
Long-Term / Short-Term: Long Term – Contract to 30 December 2025
Position Location: Bangkok, Thailand
Reports To: Monitoring & Evaluation Adviser
Salary: 100,000 – 130,000 THB/month
Closing date: 11:59pm (Bangkok time) on Sunday 15 September 2024


Program Background
Partnerships for Infrastructure (P4I) is the Australian Government’s flagship infrastructure initiative for
Southeast Asia. It partners with Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Timor-Leste,
Vietnam and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to foster inclusive growth through
sustainable economic infrastructure (i.e. transport, energy, telecommunications, and utilities).
Delivered through a single team, the initiative is led by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and
Trade in collaboration with EY, Adam Smith International, The Asia Foundation and Ninti One. The
Program’s Head Office is in Bangkok.


P4I focuses on infrastructure prioritisation and planning, policy and regulation, and procurement and project
preparation (P4I does not finance the delivery of infrastructure). All services aim to address gender equality
and social inclusion, and disaster risk reduction and climate change issues. P4I can respond to rapid
requests, but ultimately aims to develop longer-term infrastructure engagement.
