USAID Tusome Pamoja is a five-year, sector support program
targeting better learning outcomes (focused on reading, writing and
mathematics) at pre-primary and primary early grades (standards 1
through 4), in 31 Local Government Authorities of Mainland Tanzania
across four regions of Tanzania – Iringa, Morogoro, Mtwara and Ruvuma -
and 11 districts of Zanzibar. The goal of the program is to achieve
age-appropriate, curriculum defined levels of reading and writing at
standards 2 and 4 for at least 75% of classrooms in the target areas. An
additional objective of the program is to develop, implement and
demonstrate best approaches to strengthen the quality of education in
the target regions for replication consideration in other regions.
In support of this national activity, the Government of Tanzania,
represented by the President’s Office – Regional Administration and
Local Government (PO-RALG) has requested long-term technical assistance
(LTTA) in order to scale-up the existing national school management
tool- the School Information Systems (SIS)- incorporating it into all
regions in Tanzania. The nationwide utilization of SIS will support the
strengthening of institutional, technical and system capacities and will
provide a robust pool of school performance data which can be used to
better facilitate evidence-based decision and policy making.
The EMIS Specialist will be responsible for overseeing the planning and
delivery of SIS related project operations and all SIS related technical
activities, ensuring that project staff collaborate effectively with
government counterparts. S/he will be based in Dodoma with travel to
