ABOUT LINK COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Link Community Development Ethiopia (LCDE) is part of Link Education International (LEI), a family of not-for-profit organizations working together to transform education for children and communities across impoverished areas of Ethiopia, Malawi, Rwanda, and Uganda. Since our foundation in 1995, we have worked in 3,000 schools and improved the lives of over 2,000,000 children through unique and effective school improvement models. We guide governments and educators to adopt low-cost solutions to improve learning and support for children, with a focus on literacy, numeracy, and inclusion for the most marginalized children. Through a partnership delivery model which embeds piloting and learning within local systems, we influence changes to policy, practice, and accountability on a national scale, and our interventions are regularly adapted and replicated by governments and NGOs in new countries and contexts. LEI, based in Edinburgh – Scotland, supports all project, M&E, fundraising, finance, and governance activities in our four sub-Saharan partner countries.
JOB PURPOSE
The Project Officer will lead on all Boeing Company funded work for LCDE, and contribute across projects, particularly as they intersect with Boeing interventions.
The Project Officer will lead on the implementation of all interventions related to funds awarded to Link Ethiopia by Boeing Company, and contribute to other project activities as relevant. Boeing funding supports projects which focus on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and current funds are supporting the development of numeracy teacher training materials, a training of trainers for numeracy teacher training, and the provision of relevant story/numeracy books to school libraries, while transforming perceptions and attitudes which can exclude girls and women from these subjects and vocations, and strengthen transition pathways for girls that consider the potential for them to enter STEM-focused careers.
