Parents / Community Leadership Specialist
- Job Type: Full Time
- Qualification: BA/BSc/HND
- Experience: 1 year
- Location: Bauchi, Sokoto
- Job Field: NGO/Non-Profit
Program Description
- Funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development and in close partnership with federal partners and select Nigeria States (designated as legacy [Bauchi and Sokoto], launching and technical assistance), the five-year Leveraging Education Assistance Resources in Nigeria (LEARN) project will support sustainable improvements in reading outcomes for first and second grade pupils.
- The goal of LEARN is to strengthen and scale early grade reading (EGR) best practice by ensuring that standards-based, context-appropriate assessment, materials, training, and administrative supports needed to improve literacy skills for P1-2 pupils are embedded within the federal policy, funding, and monitoring frameworks, and state and local authorities have the implementation protocols, capacity, and resources to carry out and sustain standards-based, data-driven EGR reform.
- The project objective is to instill ownership in and build capacity of school-community, local, state, and federal systems to establish a base for adequate, consistent data-driven funding, monitoring and performance that increase the equity, inclusion, and wellbeing necessary to achieve sustained EGR gains.
- LEARN will therefore be building on lessons learned from prior Nigeria reading programs to introduce a flexible, cost- efficient EGR intervention model that can be tailored to state contexts.
Position Summary

- Engage Nigerian organizations to develop and lead projects aimed at piloting or scaling-up effective models to stimulate literacy and introduce additional literacy materials at the community level.
- Support state and local governments to make education performance data accessible to communities (e.g., learner reading outcomes, etc.).
- Support local governments to empower parents and community leaders in school monitoring and classroom advocacy through community-based organizations, including parent teacher associations (PTAs), youth groups, community coalitions, and others to support learning in their communities.
