Project Manager, Government Training, Systems & Process At Lively Minds


February 3rd, 2021 at 09:02 am

We, Lively Minds are looking for someone with expertise in project management systems and who has experience in working in government uptake and capacity building. You will work closely with the Ghana team to contribute to our exciting scale up plans.

 

About us

Lively Minds is an award-winning NGO working to get pre-schoolers in rural Ghana & Uganda school-ready. Over 250 million children under 5 years globally do not get the early childhood care and education (“ECCE”) they need, leading to poor health, poor education, lost life opportunities and poverty.

We believe that one of the main barriers to ECCE is that parents in remote resource-poor villages lack the information, education and aspiration to provide basic and affordable opportunities for their children. We have developed an innovative behaviour-change programme that empowers marginalized, poorly educated mothers to run educational Play Schemes for pre-schoolers and to provide better home-based care, using cheap local resources.
