Vacancy Announcement: Consultant
Consultancy Title: GBV/Education Consultant
Section/Division/Duty Station: Child Protection Team - Programme Group /NYHQ
If you are a committed, creative professional and are passionate about making a lasting difference for children, the world's leading children's rights organization would like to hear from you. Over 75 years, UNICEF has been working on the ground in 190 countries and territories to promote children's survival, protection and development. UNICEF supports child health and nutrition, good water and sanitation, quality basic education for all boys and girls, and the protection of children from violence, exploitation, and AIDS. UNICEF is funded entirely by the voluntary contributions of individuals, businesses, foundations and governments.
BACKGROUND
Purpose of Activity/Assignment:
The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does — in programs, in advocacy and in operations. The equity strategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children’s rights into action. For UNICEF, equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias or favouritism. To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life — in its social, political, economic, civic and cultural dimensions — her or his rights are violated. There is growing evidence that investing in the health, education and protection of a society’s most disadvantaged citizens — addressing inequity — not only will give all children the opportunity to fulfill their potential but also will lead to sustained growth and stability of countries. This is why the focus on equity is so vital. It accelerates progress towards realizing the human rights of all children, which is the universal mandate of UNICEF, as outlined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, while also supporting the equitable development of nations.
UNICEF implements gender-based violence (GBV) programming in some of the world’s most complex conflicts and disasters. Preventing and responding to gender-based violence in emergencies (GBViE) is recognized as a life-saving measure and an essential component of humanitarian action.
Under the Education Cannot Wait (ECW) “Acceleration Facility” UNICEF has received funding to advance GBV risk mitigation in Education in Emergencies programming. This GBV/Education consultant will report to the GBViE Specialist and will focus on developing tools to measure the effectiveness of GBV risk mitigation within Education in Emergencies programming. In particular, ECW has tasked UNICEF with creating a methodology and set of tools for the Education sector for measuring the effectiveness of GBV risk mitigation (based on a methodology already developed for Nutrition).
Scope of Work:
The consultant will be responsible for the following:
Adaptation of the “Menu of Measures” https://gbvguidelines.org/wp/wpcontent/uploads/2022/09/Menu-of-Measures_final_color.pdf and accompanying Guidance Note on GBV risk mitigation measurement for the Education Sector.
Completion of a consultative interagency process – involving key stakeholders from both the Education and GBV sectors – to map existing indicators, tools and good practices for GBV risk mitigation measurement in the Education sector.
Development of draft Menu of Measures and Guidance Note on GBV risk mitigation measurement tailored to the Education Sector. This will involve reviewing the existing measurement tools on GBV risk mitigation (already developed for nutrition), identifying which measures are relevant to education, integrating any tools or good practice identified through the mapping process above, and adapting the measures to ensure that they are relevant and applicable to the Education sector.
Finalization of Menu of Measures and Guidance Note, incorporating learning from rollout in two MYRP countries.
Support capacity building and the piloting of tools to measure the effectiveness of GBV risk mitigation in the Education Sector.
Lead regional and/or global trainings and webinars focused on GBV risk mitigation in Education, including at facilitation of at least one full iteration of the interagency GBV risk mitigation e-learning course targeting EiE practitioners.
Pilot roll out of the Education Menu of Measures and guidance note in two MYRP countries. This piloting will engage education and GBV practitioners in workshops to learn about the tools and develop action plans for integrating them into their programming.
Gather feedback from participants that will inform further refinement of the measurement tools and guidance.
Compile field-based examples of GBV risk mitigation within UNICEF’s Education in Emergencies programming across the world.
Joint analysis of the Education-related data reported under the Strategic Plan indicator outlining UNICEF’s minimum set of actions for GBV risk mitigation (H5.5) and Country Office Annual Reports for 2022.
Survey and/or key informant interviews to identify examples of GBV risk mitigation interventions currently underway in UNICEF’s Education in Emergencies programming.
