This is done by conducting periodic needs assessment exercises to address key gaps linked with eLearning implementation, to measure the impacts of past efforts and by charting the way forward on eLearning implementation and expansion. The incumbent will be responsible for replicating eLearning in new and relevant thematic areas and field locations.
