About the Project

Search has been working in Uganda since 2012 with the National Centre for State Courts (NCSC) on a five-year USAID Program, Supporting Access to Justice, Fostering Equity and Peace (SAFE). The Program aims to strengthen the capacity of the Government of Uganda with respect to peacebuilding and conflict mitigation. It is working to enhance the capacity of local actors and strengthen mechanisms for resolving and mitigating conflicts, transforming emerging conflicts into peaceful outcomes.

The SAFE Program is interested in an assessment of madrassa education in Uganda.

Uganda has a large minority Muslim population, including both an indigenous Muslim community (mostly Sunni with small Shia and Ahmadi populations) and a substantial immigrant/refugee Muslim population (predominantly Somali but including groups from other countries). Islamic education is very important to the Muslim community, but there are many concerns about the nature and quality of madrassa education in Uganda.

USAID is interested in an assessment of madrassa education in Uganda, as a possible entry point to development activities which may improve the educational outcomes, employability and integration of Muslim youth, while keeping madrassa education grounded in the requirements of the Muslim faith. USAID has already been invited to financially support work by the National Curriculum Development Centre to develop and disseminate better quality materials for advanced level Islamic religious education, with the support of the Muslim Supreme Council. However, a clearer picture of how madrassa education is operating in Uganda now is needed to determine and prioritize needs.

The objective of this assessment is to develop an accurate picture of the current state of madrassa education in Uganda, and whether USAID, in partnership with key institutions and stakeholders in the Muslim community, can help modernize and improve the quality of education in madrassas.

Summary of Position

The Assessment Analyst for Gender will serve as a key expert and analyst responsible for compilation of information and analysis of gender as it relates to Islamic education in Uganda, including the impact of gender on attitudes, opinions, and choices of students, teachers, parents and observers. Assessment methods will include combination of desk research, surveys, interviews, and focus groups. LOE: 45 days. Timeline: beginning of June through the end of August 2017.

Required Qualifications.

  • Relevant degree from a Ugandan institution of higher education.
  • Prior research experience in a research setting and ability to communicate effectively in English (verbally and in writing).
  • Must have existing knowledge and awareness of existing research on gender in Uganda, including in the Islamic community
