PEAS is an international education not-for-profit with the mission to ‘expand access to sustainably delivered, quality secondary education across Africa’. Since 2008, PEAS has built and operated high quality low-cost not-for-profit secondary schools in close partnership with government in communities where there is urgent unmet demand for secondary education. We currently run 30 secondary schools in Uganda and 6 in Zambia serving over 19,000 students. After a number of rigorous external studies in recent years, we know that our school model works. In Uganda, PEAS students are from the poorest communities and have worse primary school exam results than average. However, once they enrol in a PEAS school they go on to make faster academic progress than their more privileged peers. Importantly, this is achieved at a lower cost per student than in other school types

Measuring impact As an organisation and individuals, we all have key performance indicators to keep us focussed on our overall objectives. We track these throughout the year and review them annually to make sure they align with what we want to achieve. The Communication Officer’s impact will be measured against the following:

• Gather and document human interest stories from the field, based on programme deliverables or implementation, that demonstrate the organisation’s impact
• Effectively set up and manage social media platforms, keeping external audiences abreast with current stories and impact
• Develop communication strategy, and annually generate implementation plans, and ensure alignment with overall organisation strategy and key priorities
• Effective coordination of media and other branding events throughout the year, where peas visibility is critical.
• Represent peas in external meeting related to communication or branding and liaise with strategic partners, donors and other like minded organisation on issues related to communication.
