1. Introduction
The Government of Liberia has received a grant equivalent to USD 47 million from the International Development Association (IDA) to implement the Improving Results in Secondary Education (IRISE) Project, hereinafter “the Project”. The Project’s duration is four years. The Ministry of Education (MoE) is the IRISE implementation agency responsible for project execution and results monitoring. The implementation is overseen by the Ministry’s Senior Management Team (SMT). The Ministry of Education intends to apply a portion of these funds to hire an experienced Civil Engineer to serve as a School Construction Program Manager to support the Implementation of Component 1 of the Project.
2. Background
The IRISE Project’s development objective (PDO) is to improve equitable access to, and quality of secondary education and provide a response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It will be achieved through a set of activities that are grouped into the five components:
The progress towards the achievement of the PDO will be monitored through the following key indicators:
The Project employs a hybrid funding approach including the financing of inputs for interventions supported under Components 1, 4 and 5, and a results-based financing (RBF) modality with disbursement-linked indicators (DLIs) for Components 2 and 3. Disbursements under Components 2 and 3 will be conditioned on the achievement of specified results, as measured by DLIs. Such approach reflects a shift from an emphasis on inputs to focusing on incentivizing the achievement of results.
3. Objectives of the assignment
The objective of this assignment is to support the MoE/IRISE Project with technical assistance for managing the implementation of Component 1 of the IRISE Project. Specifically, the Program Manager will oversee for the PDT all three different types of civil works: the 3 SSS constructions; the 25 expansions (2 under the CEA); and the 156 rehabilitations and renovations from the start date of the assignment. This is to ensure a holistic approach to the coordination of activities under Component 1 by the PDT.
