The position is required to support the expanding operational demands related to meetings, conferences, trainings and high-level engagements across the office. As the office increasingly hosts multi-stakeholder forums, internal coordination sessions and donor/partner engagements, a dedicated role is needed to oversee end-to-end event planning, efficient venue allocation, and integration of logistical, procurement, financial and administrative functions in close liaison with transport and travel.
The consultant will provide strategic guidance on the implementation of EOF’s Education Outcomes Fund in Lagos State, Nigeria, to ensure the timely achievement of key programme milestones, support stakeholder engagement (Lagos State Universal Education Board (LASUBEB), Local Government Area (LGA) departments, Federal Ministry of Education (FME), evaluators, donors), support implementation of outcomes-based financing to enable sustainability and evidence uptake into public systems.
In partnership with the South African Department of Basic Education (DBE), The Education Outcomes Fund (EOF) launched the South Africa ECCE Outcomes Fund (“Fund 1.0”) in December 2025. Over three years, five implementing partners (IPs) will open around 1.4k new Early learning programmes (ELPs) and support around 600 existing ones throughout the country. The Outcomes fund is a form of outcomes-based financing, wherein payment to IPs is dependent on their progress towards pre-specified target outcomes. Under this model, EOF, IPs, and pre-financers providing working capital and performance management to the IPs, will frequently collect monitoring and evaluation data related to the interventions.
Fund 1.0 was developed as a way to learn about how to improve ECCE quality, to provide space for innovation, and as an opportunity for the DBE to broaden partnerships with non-state ECCE providers. Towards the scaling objectives of the 2030 ECD strategy and as outlined in the Bana Pele Blueprint, the DBE and EOF are interested in surfacing learnings from Fund 1.0 to inform the design of a future outcomes fund (“ELP Fund 2.0”). To support that effort, EOF is looking to collaborate with a consultant who will serve as a full-time member of the South Africa country team, to lead the learning, scaling, and evidence synthesis agenda for Fund 1.0.
