Remote About UNICEF 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. For 70 years, UNICEF has been working on the ground in 190 countries and territories to promote children's survival, protection and development. The world's largest provider of vaccines for developing countries, 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. UNICEF has over 12,000 staff in more than 145 countries. BACKGROUND Purpose of Activity/ Assignment: The Education Section of Programme Group (PG) at New York Headquarters (NYHQ) requires the services of a Foundational Learning Consultant to support the implementation of the Scaling-up Remedial Education Program initiated in 2022 as a three-year partnership between UNICEF and the GATES Foundation. The Program aims to provide technical and operational support to 17 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa to address the learning crisis -the epicenter of the learning crisis where an estimated 90% of 10 children are unable to read with comprehension by age 10. ( UNICEF, UNESCO, World Bank, USAID, FCDO, and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. 2022. Review ofThe State of Global Learning Poverty: 2022 Update. ) - to . Three countries – Ghana, South Africa, and Zambia - were selected for high priority intervention as they had already initiated their work addressing the learning crisis through remedial programming in their national education systems. In Ghana, this is the Differential learning model; in South Africa, the Structured learning programme; and in Zambia, the Catch-up programme. The remediation program intended to plug in any gaps and provide direction/guidance to the exiting government programme on the ground. In that sense this is not a stand-alone or new programme. Additionally, 14 mid-support countries receive tailored support through technical agencies recruited at two UNICEF Regional offices (East and Southern Africa and West and Central Africa) to enhance their existing foundational learning initiatives, ensuring a broader impact across the region. At the global and regional levels, UNICEF has mobilized technical expertise and resources, fostering cross-country collaboration and sharing best practices to amplify the programme's reach and effectiveness. Since in all countries the intervention builds on existing initiatives, the task is to increase its effectiveness and reach. Focus is placed on ensuring technical rigor, particularly in relation to improving pedagogy/ instruction and embedding approaches to doing this through government systems. The programme components are aligned to the five components of UNICEF’s RAPID Framework: Reach, Assess, Prioritize, Increase instruction support and practices; Develop children’s social and emotional skills-required to accelerate foundational learning. Additionally, the programme, to the extent possible, considers strategies to address needs of children with disabilities as well as mental health and psycho-social needs of learners. Expected Results The percentage of children who are unable to read with understanding and do math at age-appropriate levels in intervention areas of the three targeted countries reduced by half by 2025. Outputs: 1. Remediation programme implemented at scale in three countries. 2. Assess learning and use results to guide teaching. 3. Classroom teaching practices in math and reading improved. 4. All learners in targeted areas attend classes regularly and access effective remedial learning practices and resources. The outputs from this consultancy will contribute to global public good dissemination, global advocacy and knowledge management on foundational learning, and enhancement of UNICEF’s thought leadership in foundational learning. Scope of Work: Working in close coordination with the Education Specialist (Primary Education), the Senior Advisor of Education (Systems Strengthening) and Programme Teams as well as Eastern and Southern Africa Regional Office (ESARO), West and Central Africa Regional Office (WCARO), target Country Offices (COs) and other internal and external stakeholders, the Foundational Learning Consultant provides technical support in: • Monitoring and reporting of foundational learning program: Supporting monitoring and reporting of the Scaling-up Remedial Education Program funded by the GATES Foundation. • Consolidating and disseminating best practices on foundational learning: systematically gather, synthesize, and share best practices in foundational learning interventions to inform policy, practice, and programming globally. The consultant will lead efforts to consolidate existing knowledge, identify emerging trends, and disseminate actionable insights to relevant stakeholders. • Facilitating Cross-Country Learning Exchange: Facilitate learning exchange and peer-to-peer collaboration among countries implementing foundational learning focused education programs to share experiences, lessons learned, and innovative practices.Advancing UNICEF’s technical leadership on foundational learning: Strengthen UNICEF’s thought leadership in implementing foundational learning programs.
