About Windle Trust International (WTI)
Windle Trust International (WTI) is an education-focused organisation working across Somaliland, Sudan, South Sudan, and the United Kingdom. WTI partners with governments and institutions to improve access to quality education through programmes in teacher training, English language development, education in emergencies, and vocational training.
Assignment Background
WTI is implementing two English language programmes targeting public primary school teachers in Hargeisa, namely English for Educators and Supporting English at the Primary Level.
Both programmes were launched in May 2025 in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Science and will run for 16 months, delivering four hours of English instruction weekly to public primary teachers.
The programmes aim to improve teachersā English proficiency to strengthen classroom delivery and enhance student learning outcomes. This responds to a broader systemic challenge: while English is the medium of instruction in secondary and higher education, many students transition with limited English proficiency due to gaps at the primary level.
Purpose of the Consultancy
WTI seeks a qualified MEL Consultant to assess the effectiveness, outcomes, and impact of the two programmes. The consultant will evaluate whether project objectives have been achieved and provide actionable recommendations to strengthen programme quality, scalability, and sustainability.
