Description

The UK-Brazil Skills for Prosperity (S4P) programme is implemented with resources from the Department for International Development/Foreign Commonwealth Office (FCDO), via a consortium led by the Lemann Foundation, with whom the British Council, Associação Nova Escola and Instituto Reúna signed a contract to develop the programme's activities and receive their respective budget. The programme encompasses work in five pilot states and aims to help Brazil reach a higher level of prosperity, through the transformation of English language learning and teaching in the country. Through the programme, the consortium addresses policies and standards for the teaching of English at the national level while carrying out more targeted activities, such as the development of didactic material and teacher training for the last years of Elementary School (6th to 9th grade), High School, Technical and Vocational Education (1st to 3rd grade) and Higher Education (teacher training only). The programme’s activities are divided into 4 outputs: Policy and regulatory reform (Output 1), Design and delivery of ELT curriculum reform (Output 2), Teacher training (Output 3), and a cross-cutting Equity output (Output 4). While the British Council, Associação Nova Escola and Instituto Reúna are responsible for implementing programme’s activities, the Lemann Foundation looks after the overall programme management, guaranteeing strategic alignment and ensuring its success. It is the main point of contact with the FCDO’s In-country Programme Leader, and is responsible for: Overview, support and assess the Programme’s monitoring & evaluation; Coordinate and consolidate the work of the other members of the consortium; Ensure coherence between the work of the different organisations in the consortium; Financial management and distribution among the delivery partners; Recruit and manage experts and consultants to assist in cross cutting deliveries; Communicate and report on Programme development to HMG; Support and collaborate to the activities of the other organisations (e.g. advocacy activities); Assess and manage the Programme’s risk; Map and monitor Secondary Benefits opportunities; Validate and support the Programme’s institutional communication activities; Organise and plan Tactical and Strategic Committees.
