Education Partnerships Group (EPG) have recently been awarded a grant to support the Ministry of General Education (MoGE) in Zambia under the USAID-funded CATALYZE programme. EPG will work closely with the MoGE to review, prioritise and develop education policy in three core areas: regulation, accountability and public/private partnerships that are highlighted in the Government’s Education Sector and Skills Plan (ESSP) framework. In the first year we will build a team in Lusaka; undertake diagnostic work to map the policy landscape; and engage the MoGE and other key stakeholders to identify policy reform priorities.
The Programme Manager will play a key role in establishing EPG’s work in Zambia. This includes: supporting the set-up of an EPG office; cultivating and maintaining trusted relationships with senior Ministry officials and other key stakeholders; designing and delivering contextually-relevant advice and support to Government partners on education policy reform design, planning, implementation and monitoring; reviewing and drafting policy-related documents; coordinating and overseeing research and policy development work by commissioned partners and consultants; managing one Associate; overseeing all elements of project management; contributing to monitoring, feedback and evaluation mechanisms; and liaising with donors and funding partners. This project has strict reporting requirements that will require timely delivery and attention to detail.
The right candidate will find EPG an exciting and entrepreneurial environment and see this role as an opportunity to build a team and programme strategy together with internal and external stakeholders, which will ultimately have a positive impact on improving children’s learning in Zambia.
