SSA to develop a Strategy for Teacher Development and Management for Dadaab

UN Children's Fund

Background:

During 2011 Somalia was severely affected by drought, and famine leading to mass migration towards and across the border to Kenya with an influx in refugees in Dadaab refugee camps. With the majority of refugees being young people or children, the education sector saw a drop in enrolment rate from approximately 60% to 30%. This resulted in partners agreeing on the importance of a long term strategy for improving of the education services and access to education for children and young people in the camps.

An Education Strategy for Dadaab was developed and finalized towards the end of 2011. 

This strategy emphasizes on the importance of continuous professional development of the teaching forces and training of teacher to improve the quality of education offered at ECD, primary and secondary education levels. UNICEF has agreed to fund the development of this teacher training sub-sector strategy as a component of the overall Education Strategy for Dadaab refugee camps.

Justification: 

The consultancy proposed in these terms of references is in line with the commitment UNICEF made to implementation of the education priorities identified in the Dadaab Education Strategy Document. It is also in congruent with the commitment that UNICEF has made to take on the technical lead of the education sector in Dadaab.
