Description de poste

Expertise France is the public agency for designing and implementing international technical cooperation projects. The agency operates around four key priorities:

1. democratic, economic, and financial governance;
2. peace, stability, and security;
3. climate, agriculture, and sustainable development;
4. health and human development.

In these areas, Expertise France conducts capacity-building initiatives and manages project implementation, leveraging technical expertise and acting as a project coordinator. This involves combining public sector expertise with private sector skills to drive impactful results.

The Regional Teacher Programme for Africa aims at supporting continental, regional and national education stakeholders in the process of taking stock of what we know on effective teacher policies and practices, and in scanning the horizon for new initiatives that promote innovation, equity as well as digital and green transformation in teaching. It also aims at developing evidence-based models and resources that can best support teachers’ learning and performance in changing environments.

Building on national education and teacher reforms, it will promote regional integration and dialogue, and it will offer opportunities for cross-country collaboration, partnerships and peer learning amongst teaching stakeholders within the region and with Europe.

To achieve these goals, the programme will create a Regional Teacher Facility to be implemented and managed by a consortia of four EU Member States (Belgium, France, Finland and Germany). This Teacher Facility will offer different modalities of support:

1. an innovation fund;
2. a demand-driven technical assistance component;
3. a specific line of funding for joint research.

Priority areas of the Teacher Facility will be on strengthening the teacher profession and teacher training capacity, as well as on improving the digital and green competences of teachers.
