This Opportunity:
CATALYZE EduFinance (‘EduFinance’) is seeking to fill a long-term position based in Sub-Saharan Africa, which will provide regional representation; program management; communications; monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL); and technical quality assurance and support to the current and prospective EduFinance activities being implemented in Sub-Saharan Africa. These activities currently include Rwanda, Tanzania, Zambia, South Africa, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, with other prospective buy-ins in development (see below for more details on CATALYZE EduFinance).

Palladium is the prime contractor under CATALYZE EduFinance. The projects in Africa are implemented on a day-to-day basis by implementing partners / sub-contractors and sub-grantees.

About CATALYZE/EduFinance
The CATALYZE Blended Finance Mechanism is a $250 Million, 8-year contract (5-year base period, with a single 3-year option period) which uses a facilitated partnership model to craft solutions to crowd in $2 Billion in blended finance (i.e., blended concessional and commercial finance) to USAID partner countries and initiatives. CATALYZE allows USAID Bureaus and Missions to efficiently deploy investment facilitation solutions that respond to the needs of specific sectors, issues, and geographies.


The CATALYZE EduFinance program develops private sector partnerships to facilitate innovations in financing and service delivery that increase access to low-cost, quality education. CATALYZE EduFinance mobilizes blended finance – the strategic use of public funds to increase private sector investment – to crowd in private capital into non-state schools and education enterprises in USAID partner countries. Private capital leveraged with funding from USAID will address the substantial funding gap to respond to the global need for increased access to quality education.

CATALYZE EduFinance leverages a pool of specialized expertise to design and implement complex multi-year programs, that can include dynamic tools, such as first loss capital, to mitigate country or education sector-specific risks.
