Key Duties and Responsibilities:

  • Administer the EGRA instrument to pupils objectively and in a technically correct and friendly manner;
  • Interview the P2 teacher of reading. The assessor may be assigned by the supervisor to interview the P2 teacher in a one-on-one session;
  • Behave and dress professionally;
  • Check to ensure that all assessment have been stored on the tablets;
  • Take very good care of the tablet assigned to you. Never leave the tablet unattended nor allow children to touch/play with the device. Aim to minimize distraction by sitting in a way that doesn’t allow the child to see the screen and ensure that your screen movements/taps are discreet;
  • Ensure that the information in all completed EGRA instruments is clear, complete, and consistent, and give completed EGRA instruments and signed consent forms to your supervisor;
  • Inform the supervisor of any problems or difficulties encountered during EGRA administration and help identify appropriate solutions;
  • Follow the supervisor’s instructions according to the training received.




Qualifications, Skills and Experience:

  • At a minimum, a diploma is required.
  • Previous experience as an EGRA Assessor preferred.
  • Experience conducting assessments with children in a nonthreatening manner. As the instrument is oral and individually administered, the quality and accuracy of the data depend largely on the ability of the enumerator to encourage and calm the learners to ensure they perform to the best of their abilities. False-negative results from learners who can perform well but who are nervous or fearful can be minimized with the right approach.
  • Previous experience using electronic data collection software.
  • Fluency in English and Lusoga required.
