The selected service provider will provide technical assistance to the key GoT authorities involved with EPforR in the education sector to support them to:
(i) implement the PforR programme approach with embedded DLIs, including facilitation of a smooth interface between the Government of Tanzania and the development partners; and
(ii) undertake capacity building, planning and systems strengthening activities, including providing a wide range of education policy advice to the government, aiming to improve the overall quality of basic education service delivery; and
(iv) manage the piloting of measures to understand ‘what works’ in supporting increased access to school for children with disability and reducing the use of violence in schools. The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MoEST), including its parastatal organisations, and the President’s Office – Regional Administration and Local Government (PO-RALG) will be the principal recipients of technical assistance. The TAS will support both these ministries in executing activities to implement the EPforR programme and support the continuation and institutionalisation of the results-based performance management approach within the Tanzanian public education sector.
