The evaluation is expected to begin in August 2025 with a duration of approximately 21 working days. An adequate window of time is essential to allow for required Cambodian stakeholder interviews and data gathering before the Cambodian school year ends on 29 August.

SBB Cambodia has 36 staff and implements its programs in three provinces in northern Cambodia.

Program Background

SBB Cambodia targets the most disadvantaged districts in the most disadvantaged provinces in northern Cambodia, where the need is greatest and there are real opportunities to generate significant change. Through the holistic approach of its signature program, the Transform Education Program (TEP), SBB Cambodia nurtures Communities of Practice which support shared learning among educators and engage the wider community in the life-long benefits of quality early primary education.

Locally-led District Teacher Development Centres are established and resourced as sustainable hubs for collaborative learning, professional development and community engagement. They provide a much-valued forum for building the expertise of school leaders, strengthening teachers’ professional identity and improving the skills and capacities of teachers, all of which contribute to sustained quality teaching and learning.
