About Partnerships And Strategic Initiatives Team
At CSF, Partnerships and Strategic Initiatives Team supports multiple central government agencies to plan, design and implement large scale education reform initiatives. This involves the co-creation and implementation of comprehensive project plans, providing technical support in the areas of project planning, and coordinating with other agencies involved in the implementation of a program.

The PL is expected to thrive in dynamic and ambiguous environments, effectively responding to evolving government and stakeholder needs.
