PEAS schools are run by Africans for Africans.
Our schools and country offices have always been fully staffed and led by Africans. 98% of our global staff are African. PEAS Board of Trustees is majority African and over 50% of our trustees are women.
We are proud of what we have achieved but are taking a deliberate approach to do more.
We do this by taking accountability for our high performance, challenging ourselves and each other to continually improve and support one another.
We employ 1,180 school staff including teachers, school leaders, and school support staff across our two school networks in Uganda and Zambia. In our country offices, we employ around 100 people in roles such as education, quality assurance, safeguarding, MEL, finance, people and culture, advocacy, and procurement.
In the UK, we have a small team focused on supporting the teams in Uganda, Zambia, and Ghana with everything from technical to fundraising support.

Reports to: Senior MEL Officer
We’re hiring a MEL Officer to help us measure, learn from, and improve the impact of our work in Uganda. This is a great opportunity for someone with strong data and analytical skills to support evidence-based decision making across our school network and system strengthening programmes.
Your role
You’ll support the design and implementation of monitoring, evaluation, and learning systems that track student outcomes, school performance, and the impact of our partnerships. From collecting and analysing data to training school staff on tools like SchoolTool+, you’ll help ensure that our work is informed by reliable evidence and focused on driving real-world change.
What we’re looking for
We’re looking for someone with at least two years’ experience in MEL, preferably in the education or NGO sector. You’ll have strong skills in data collection, analysis (including Excel and ideally R), and a passion for using data to improve outcomes for students—especially the most marginalised. Experience working with ministries of education or managing MEL for donor-funded programmes is a plus.
