1. Background

WUSC – World University Service of Canada – is a leading Canadian non-profit organization in International development, committed to building a more equitable and sustainable world. We work with a unique and powerful network of post-secondary institutions, private-sector partners and volunteers to provide education, employment and empowerment opportunities that improve the lives of millions of disadvantaged youth around the world. WUSC and its partner organization, Windle International Kenya (WIK), are implementing the Strengthening Inclusive Learning Environments (SHULE) project, with funding from the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (BPRM) in Dadaab and Kakuma refugee and host communities.

2. Rationale

WUSC is seeking an external consultant to undertake a Baseline assessment for the SHULE project. The goal of the Shule Project is to strengthen the quality of education provision for refugee girls in Northern Kenya to improve transition outcomes, particularly for girls with special needs and over-aged learners. In order to achieve this objective, the project will:

• Increase access to extracurricular academic support programs for vulnerable refugee girls in upper primary, particularly girls with special needs and over-aged learners


• Enhance ability of teachers to deliver high-quality education using gender-responsive pedagogy and inclusive teaching methods


• Improve the accessibility of digital teaching and learning materials for secondary school students and teachers

The SHULE project is committed to address critical gaps in education for refugee girls who are performing poorly in school and at risk of dropping-out, with a particular emphasis on girls with special needs and over-aged girls, who face additional barriers to education. WUSC and WIK are targeting two types of girls: 1) girls in upper primary who are likely to drop out due to poor performance and/or are girls with special needs or over-aged girls who are not able to benefit from current educational resources; and 2) girls with special needs and over-aged learners, in secondary school who have made the transition but need additional support and resources to complete their secondary education.

3. Scope of work

The main objective of the baseline is to provide benchmarks for performance measurement of SHULE in the three key project objectives as per the indicators provided in the project design.

§ A comprehensive draft baseline report including a clear set of actionable recommendations.

§ A final baseline report incorporating feedback from WUSC/WIK and key stakeholders.

· Cleaned survey data sets and transcripts (qualitative and Quantitative data).
