JOB DETAILS:


Background
Children in Crossfire is a registered charity in Ireland that facilitates International Development and Global Citizen Education (GCE) activities. Our vision is a compassionate world where every child can reach his or her potential. We work in partnership with local organisations in Tanzania and Ethiopia to improve the lives of the most disadvantaged young children, with a particular focus on Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE).

In Tanzania, Children in Crossfire implements a country programme that contributes to the school readiness of young children as well as wider ECD policy and practice. Our programme of work in Early Childhood Care and Education is popularly known as Watoto Wetu Tunu Yetu (Our Children Our Treasure). Children in Crossfire is currently establishing a new programme initiative to support improved quality and equitable access to daycare centres and ECCE opportunities in high-density low-income areas of Dar es Salaam City (Dar).

A pilot intervention to be implemented from 2023-2025 will support engaging a market systems development approach to delivering quality improvements and optimizing business models for privately run [ECCE] daycare in low income settings of Dar. Ultimately, the aim is to promote early childhood development, and support micro-entrepreneurs and private providers to make quality improvements in ECCE provision and run commercially viable daycare centres in low-income settings of Dar es Salaam.

This in turn will improve the early learning and wider care experience for thousands of vulnerable young children aged below 5 Years who live in poor high-density areas of one of Africa’s fastest growing cities.
