Background

The Government of Uganda, through the Ministry of Education and Sports (MoES), is implementing a portfolio of strategic, externally financed projects aimed at strengthening Education Service Delivery, expanding access, and enhancing institutional capacity across the sector. Key among these are the Uganda Secondary Education Expansion Project (USEEP), the Uganda Learning Acceleration Program (ULEARN), and the Uganda Skills Development in Refugee and Host Communities Project (USDHR). These projects are supported by the World Bank and are aligned to national development priorities under the National Development Plan IV (NDP IV), Uganda Vision 2040, and the Education and Sports Sector Strategic Plan.

Following Circular Standing Instruction No. 1 of 2026, the Ministry has established a centralized Project Implementation Unit (PIU) to coordinate and manage project implementation across the three operations. The PIU is responsible for providing technical, fiduciary, safeguards, and administrative support in accordance with Government of Uganda regulations and World Bank guidelines. Its core functions include project planning and coordination, procurement and contract management, civil works management, financial management, monitoring and evaluation, environmental and social safeguards compliance, and reporting.

In order to ensure efficient and effective delivery of projects objectives, the Ministry seeks to recruit qualified and competent Ugandans to fill key positions within the PIU. These positions are critical to strengthening implementation capacity, ensuring compliance with applicable standards, and achieving the intended development outcomes of USEEP, ULEARN, and USDREH.
