JSI/WE is seeking a INCLUSION AND SAFEGUARDING SPECIALIST for a five-year USAID funded Targeting the Learning Crisis (TLC) Activity in Uganda, which aims to create sustained, measurable improvements in development outcomes in Basic Education through Targeted Instruction for foundational skills, a learner-centric pedagogy that reorganizes math and literacy instruction based on children’s actual learning levels, rather than on the prescribed grade-level syllabus. The Activity seeks to implement cost-effective, sustainable, and impactful programming, centered around Targeted Instruction pedagogy for P3-P5, Targeted Instruction and other evidence-based approaches for P1-P2, and evidence-based early childhood education for pre-primary years, in order to significantly improve math and literacy learning outcomes for Ugandan primary students.
The INCLUSION AND SAFEGUARDING SPECIALIST will play a central role in ensuring the effective integration of safeguarding and inclusion principles across the USAID TLC project. This role combines safeguarding expertise with a commitment to fostering inclusive environments that promote accessibility, equity, and the safety of all participants in the project, especially for marginalized and vulnerable populations.
