CRS works to save, protect, and transform lives in need in more than 100 countries, without regard to race, religion or nationality. CRS’ relief and development work is accomplished through programs of emergency response, health, agriculture, education, microfinance, and peacebuilding.
Background:
CRS has been working on behalf of Afghan families since 2002, with hundreds of experienced Afghan staff working in offices across the country. We provide emergency relief, inclusive education, improved livelihoods, and other essential services to tens of thousands of households. The country’s long conflict has left many families displaced and impoverished, but the war’s end in 2021 has opened the exciting possibility of reaching many previously inaccessible communities.
CRS is currently implementing programs in the provinces of Bamiyan, Daykundi, Ghor, Herat, and Kabul, and is exploring additional expansion. CRS maintains five main offices in the country as well as several sub-offices that support the direct implementation of program activities. With over 225 staff, the Country Program is growing to meet new needs throughout the country.
As a member of CRS’ education project team, you will be responsible for supporting the implementation of technical curriculum and teacher capacity strengthening activities to improve the quality of instruction in CBE classrooms in Ghor province. You will drive program quality by providing technical oversight to key components of partner-implemented education programming, such as teacher support (training, mentoring, teaching quality assessment), monitoring student learning achievement, providing technical support to the local partner field staff, and community engagement. Your thorough and service-oriented approach will ensure that the project consistently applies best practices and constantly works towards improving the impact of its benefits to those we serve.
