JOB DETAILS:
Enabel is the Belgian development agency. It implements Belgium’s governmental cooperation. The agency also works for other national and international donors. With its partners in Belgium and abroad, Enabel offers solutions to address pressing global challenges - Climate Change, Urbanisation, Human Mobility, Peace and Security, Economic and Social Inequality - and to promote Global Citizenship. With 2,000 staff, Enabel manages about 170 projects in twenty countries, in Belgium, Africa and the Middle East.

Background
Enabel in Uganda will be implementing a new Country portfolio 2023-2027, with funding from the Government of Belgium and the European Union. The new portfolio targets Rwenzori/Albertine, West Nile, Busoga and Central regions. The overall objective is that “Young people and women in Uganda develop into active, economically independent citizens in a sustainable society that respects human rights and ensures quality basic services’’. This will be achieved through two pillars.
The first pillar focuses on providing young people, and especially young women, with the right vocational skills and genuine opportunities to generate an income and contribute to the economy through sustainable, decent work.
Pillar two aims to ensure that the rights to safe and quality education and healthcare are more transparently ensured especially for the most in-need populations such as children, women, girls, as well as refugees and host communities. This pillar is divided into three projects namely:
• Education (WeLearn),
• Health (WeCare) and
• Nursing training (WeTrain4Health).

The WeLearn project will support the lower secondary education through ensuring that households, communities and adolescents are aware of, demand access to, have equitable access to and complete a quality, inclusive lower secondary education. Secondly, the project will look into option to reduce the cost of education and increase the financial capacity of schools. Further, local education officials, school leaders and teachers will be supported to be able to provide an increased range of quality education services and resources, more equitable and inclusive learning environments, and higher quality, more relevant teaching and instruction for secondary students. To achieve this, the intervention intends to provide holistic support to secondary schools through creating a safe and gender-sensitive learning environment, provision of equipment, improving the skills of teachers through continuous professional development (CPD). Lastly, the intervention will strengthen local government and governing structures to promote more participatory and accountable education management and leadership, that is inclusive of socially excluded groups including girls, refugees, and people living with disabilities.

The EU-financed WeTeach project is part of the G4DU initiative and will particularly focus on the professional development activities for teachers and head teachers as well as on strengthening the capacities of the district education services in West-Nile and Acholi subregion.
The WeLearn and WeTeach programme share the vision and results framework, but are implemented in different geographical areas.
Within this this context, Enabel is seeking to recruit a Project Manager with expertise in Education.
