CARE Ghana Announces New Job Offer
CARE Ghana is looking for an expert in education to be the Chief of Party (COP) for the $50 million USAID-funded SAGES (Strengthening Accountability in Ghana’s Education System) activity. This project will improve the way primary education services are given in Ghana by making accountability a part of the system. The activity will help the Government of Ghana (GOG), especially the Ministry of Education (MOE) and its agencies and affiliates, improve the performance of the education system and make it easier for schools to be held accountable.
The COP is in charge of the project’s overall goals and is responsible for delivering project results. The right person will have a lot of experience managing the program, finances, and operations of projects funded by USAID or other international donors.
