Job Profile
Cambridge Education has been awarded the FCDO funded Girls in Rwanda Learn (GIRL) programme, a 6-year programme (Nov 2024 – Jun 2030). GIRL is the FCDO’s new bilateral education programme in Rwanda, building on components of the previous Learning for All (LFA) programme (2015-2023). The LFA programme worked to improve learning outcomes in English and Mathematics in all government and government-aided schools in Rwanda, with a special focus on girls and including children with special educational needs. GIRL has been designed to build upon this work by continuing to focus on foundational learning outcomes in English and Mathematics, with an even stronger focus on girls’ education and inclusive education. It will work to reduce school drop-out and improve transition to lower secondary or other learning pathways, particularly for girls and children with disabilities. The programme is made up of 3 main components:
- Component 1 will focus on improving learning outcomes in English and Math and providing technical assistance to the Government of Rwanda to strengthen capacity and the policy environment for improved foundational learning.
- Component 3 will focus on managing an innovation fund for out-of-school girls using a test-learn-adapt approach.
- Component 5 will focus on technical assistance and advocacy to the government around foundational learning and out-of-school girls, to ensure approaches are scaled and evidence from the programme feeds into policy and programming in the sector.
The Team Leader will have overall responsibility for successful management and delivery of the programme in accordance with Mott MacDonald Ltd. (MML) internal policies, national and international recognised standards, as well as proactively meeting beneficiary, stakeholder and FCDO requirements.
Additionally, subject to Group approval, the Team Leader will fulfil the legal and accountability functions of the Local Manager, Mott MacDonald Rwanda.
