Background

The Direction Nationale de l'Enseignement (DNE) of the Eglise Evangélique du Cameroun is responsible for the coordination, control and supervision of the institutions for school and higher education of the Protestant Church in Cameroon. This applies to the pedagogical field as well as to the administration and finances.

The majority of the schools of the EEC are located in rural areas or in the poor districts of the big cities. The parents of the pupils who use the school offer of the EEC are therefore mostly farmers, small traders and also unemployed people. The aim of the EEC school system is to provide a high quality education for children and young people.

To achieve this, efficient financial planning and management is necessary. In this area, the DNE has already been able to achieve a lot, for example, the financial management of the school system has been harmonised and a needs-based accounting software has been introduced, which is already being used in part.

You will be located in Douala, Cameroon.

• You design and conduct continuous training for the administrative, financial and pedagogical management of the EEC schools.
• You accompany and support the DNE in the process of periodically revising the basic texts.
• You train the staff of the DNE in the use of the software, including internal auditing.
• You will provide trainings in the concept of good governance for all staff.
