Short-term consultancy: Training on Digitalisation of Education | Arusha, Tanzania | 17 – 21 August 2026

Training objective and participants PCF provides funding to local partner organisations and aims to strengthen their staff capacities and skills to achieve programme outcomes. To support local partner organisations, PCF would like to offer a training for their partner organisations’ staff (e.g., Project Managers/Coordinators, Education Officers, Project Officers, Monitoring and Evaluation Officers as well as a District ICT Officer) on Digitalisation of Education.

The training will equip participants with the knowledge and practical skills to design, implement, and support education projects that meaningfully integrate digital approaches. It will focus on aligning interventions with national and international policies, promoting effective digital teaching and learning practices, improving access to quality digital content, and strengthening the use of school data to support informed decision-making and improved learning outcomes.

The training shall be practical, participatory, and tailored to the specific needs and knowledge of PCF’s partner organisations in Tanzania and developed in close collaboration with PCF HQ and the Tanzania Country Office. The participants will be selected from PCF’s partner organisations in Tanzania, which are two medium-sized local organisations operating in Karatu and Mbozi District with limited prior experience on the subject matter. Approximately 11 participants will attend.
