Deputy Director - Scaling Impact Sustainably (Malawi Franchise)

About the organization

Prevail Fund is sponsoring a new implementation-focused organization currently being established in Malawi, to help education program achieve stronger results at scale. In Malawi, many promising interventions struggle because implementation is often weak, inconsistent, or too costly to sustain. While strong program models exist, there are very few local organizations with the operational capacity, systems, and discipline required to deliver large-scale program effectively.

The organization is being created to help close this gap by strengthening program delivery, building practical systems, and supporting high-quality implementation at scale. The model is being tested in Tanzania, which is outperforming other implementing partners on key delivery metrics such as program usage, school monitoring, and operational responsiveness.

Building on these lessons, the organization will support large-scale education program in Malawi and respond to a clear need expressed by partners for stronger local implementation capacity.
