Monitoring and Evaluation Consultant at British Council Nigeria

British Council Nigeria - The purpose of the British Council is to create international opportunities for the people of the UK and other countries and build trust between them worldwide. In order to deliver the best in cultural relations we focus our programmes in the following areas: Education and Society; English; Arts. These are called the Strategic Business Units. English portfolio is broadly categorised under three programmes- English Connect, English Interface and English Engage.

Nigerian Teacher Training Initiative (NTTI) is a teacher-centred project under English Engage and it is only delivered in Nigeria. British council has operations in eight regions that include Sub-Saharan Africa. With 1.75 billion - one in five of the world's population - set to live in the region by 2050 and a GDP that is forecast to grow by seven per cent over the next two decades - faster than China - there is cause for both optimism and caution. English language is central to the region’s future for access to markets, for economic development and for maintaining peace and democracy. Our position as world authority and natural authority in English will be strengthened and our portfolio of projects and programmes will have doubled both in size and impact.
