Building on rapid global scale-up, the Learning Passport is entering a new phase focused on sustainability, system integration, and impact at scale. This includes strengthening partnerships with the private sector, National Committees, and global stakeholders to support long-term programme delivery and innovation. 

The consultant will play a critical role in advancing this agenda by supporting: 
(i) the development and management of a strong partnerships and funding pipeline; 
(ii) the creation of high-quality fundraising, reporting, and engagement materials; and 
(iii) the coordination of strategic communications and visibility efforts across global and country programmes. 

Working closely with the key programmatic focal points, Private Fundraising and Partnerships (PFP), National Committees, and country offices, the consultant will contribute to positioning the Learning Passport as a scalable, high-impact solution for digital learning, while ensuring strong partner engagement, accountability, and programme visibility.
