Strong analytical, communication and problem-solving skills are needed, along with the ability to produce technical reports, dashboards and presentations. Excellent English is required. Myanmar language, experience with the Learning Passport, work in humanitarian or conflict-affected settings, knowledge of Myanmar's education environment and prior UN experience are advantages.

How to apply
