Participatory Impact Monitoring and Evaluation system expert – Malaysia English (ELTDP) project

The British Council manages the English Language Teacher Development Project on behalf of the Ministry of Education in Malaysia. The project supports the new ‘Kurikulum Standard Sekolah Rendah Bahasa Inggeris’ policy by providing early primary English teachers with in-service mentoring and professional development opportunities. Through the project, 120 mentors provided support to teachers in years one to three in 600 primary schools throughout Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan between 2011 and 2013. A second phase of the project started in January 2014 and will run until September 2015.
We are seeking a consultant to support the English Language Teacher Development Project by building on its Participatory Impact Monitoring and Evaluation (PIME) system for the project and producing an interim and final evaluation report. The consultant will be responsible for design and delivery of the PIME programme. The consultancy will benefit the Ministry of Education and the British Council by providing robust data on which project development and future work can be based. British Council (management and mentors) and ministry staff (at district, state and national level) will benefit from participation and training in participatory monitoring methodologies. Teachers, head teachers, department heads, families and pupils will benefit from increasing their capacity to be involved in this project, and similar activities in the future. This consultancy will be carried out at various field venues in Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan, and will include desk work in preparation and report writing.

The lead consultant will present evidence of previous experience in designing and participatory monitoring and evaluation systems. They will have experience and show evidence of work in developing countries.
