UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.

Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.

And we never give up.

Title of Assignment

Individual Consultant for Technical Assistance in Education and Skills

Education

Location

UNICEF ESARO, Nairobi, Kenya with travel in the ESA region as necessary

Duration

128 days within a period of 7 months

Start date

From: 15 January 2019

To: 31 August 2019

Background and Justification

UNICEF seeks to contribute to the realization of the rights of all children, especially the most disadvantaged. Since learning and skills development are key areas to achieve this envisaged impact, UNICEF’s Strategic Plan 2018 – 2021 in its goal area 2 includes a focus on strengthening education systems to effectively support children and adolescents to learn and to develop skills for personal empowerment, active citizenship, non-violence, gender equality and employability, both in and out of schools, including in humanitarian situations.

Investing in adolescents’ learning and skills development – including in particular, the most disadvantaged adolescents – is a priority that UNICEF has identified for the second decade of a child’s life. This priority links directly to the achievement of SDG targets, including those related to ending poverty in all its forms, enhancing education and life learning opportunities and promoting employment and decent work for all. Strategies adopted by UNICEF to provide better opportunities for adolescents to be productive and break intergenerational cycles of poverty include 1) accelerating programming for the retention of primary school students, transition to post-primary education and secondary completion with a focus on quality and learning outcomes; 2) investing in programmes that nurture adolescents as innovators and critical thinkers, both through formal or non-formal learning environments; 3) supporting social protection approaches that build the skills and knowledge required for employability and entrepreneurship; and 4) eliminating child labour, in particular hazardous work, for children who are old enough to work.

UNICEF is working towards strengthening policy and programme interventions that improve skills development for adolescent boys and girls (10-17 years) by contributing to their learning of content and skills and by providing them with increased opportunities for employment, entrepreneurship and citizenship. This area of work will follow a multi-sectoral approach and build on the evidence and expertise generated by the various sections within UNICEF (education, child protection, adolescents and social inclusion) as well as the expertise of other organizations.

Since issues of employability and employment require an approach that links both the supply and demand side, collaboration between key multilateral actors is a critical component of our work and it is built on 1) good practices in areas of learning and employability of adolescents; 2) the complementarity of roles between these organizations; and 3) lessons learned from existing regional/country level collaboration in the area of learning and employability.

UNICEF’s work on skills development has a clear focus on the most disadvantaged adolescents, both those who are 10-14 years and who dropped out of school or are at risk of dropping out, and older adolescents who are not in school or training or employment. Hence all programming aims to be multi-sectoral and address issues of exclusion, among others through social inclusion schemes, addressing social norms as well as providing better learning and employability opportunities for young people.
