Assignment context:
Within the UNICEF Country Programme 2025 – 2029 and under the supervision of the Education Specialist P3, the Education Officer mainly provides professional technical, operational and administrative assistance for the ITALEEM Programme funded by the EU (75%) and implemented jointly with UNESCO. Furthermore, the Education Officer supports the Life Skills programmes funded by Canada (25%), for the reintegration of conflict-affected children returning from Northeast Syria (NES). Overall responsibility includes a variety of technical and administrative tasks to facilitate programme development, implementation, progress monitoring, evaluation, and reporting for these programmes.
Technically, the position focuses on supporting the General Directorates of Education (GDoEs) and more widely the Ministry of Education (MoE) on three components: system building and strengthening the governance of the education system; expanding equitable access to quality learning opportunities through formal, non-formal and early childhood education; and improvement of learning, learning outcomes, and skills development.
Geographically, the position focuses on (but is not limited to) the following governorates: Baghdad, Babil, Wasit, Karbala, Najaf, Diyala, Salah-A-Din, and Anbar.
The primary objective of this consultancy is to ensure the effective implementation of the Cash Plus Project in six counties, empowering Female Heads of Households (FHHs) and vulnerable young girls through a human centered approach.
Following the completed first phase of UNICEF technical support in standard, curriculum and TLM revision, the consultant is expected to further support development and expansion on the comprehensive capacity building programme, while supporting in delivering a series of workshops for curriculum and textbooks writers on the principles of CBE for Tajik Language. This includes ensuring consistency of teaching and learning materials (including textbooks) with the curriculum and basic principles of development of inclusive, age-appropriate materials.
