Khulisa Management Services

Khulisa Management Services provides Monitoring and Evaluation technical support to the Financial Education Fund Management Team to ensure the effective evaluations of grantee projects in effort to learn more about financial education and improving financial capacities in sub-Saharan Africa.

Khulisa, in a consortium led by Winrock, was awarded this US$5 million project funded by the US Department of Labor, which aims to reduce child labour through education initiatives focused in five districts in Tanzania. Khulisa designed and is implementing five district programmes to strengthen national institutions and policies, raise awareness of education for all children, support the education of withdrawn or at-risk children in rural areas, develop formal and transitional education systems, and to ensure long-term sustainability of the above efforts.

The Health Promoting Schools (HPS) concept is considered one of the main pillars of improving health outcomes for children, youth and the communities in which they live. Funded by JICA, this project is a joint collaboration project in Gauteng, South Africa. The Department of Health and the Department of Education are conducting a pilot project to implement the HPS initiative in 14 primary schools. Khulisa is developing teaching, learning and contributory materials to be used in the pilot schools to complement other activities being implemented as part of the pilot HPS project.

Khulisa pioneered the use of data quality instruments and procedures in PEPFAR/South Africa to assess and enhance the extent to which PEPFAR partners produce results that are valid and reliable. The Data Quality Assessments (DQAs) are designed as a learning process for both the selected PEPFAR partners as well as the USG, with a goal to build M&E capacity and systems among PEPFAR partner organizations.
