UNICEF Turkmenistan Country Office (CO), in partnership with the Ministry of Education and the National Red Crescent Society of Turkmenistan (NRCST), supports national efforts to strengthen emergency preparedness and climate change adaptation across the education sector. These efforts aim to ensure a safe and clean environment, uninterrupted access to quality education, health, nutrition and WASH services for children, and enhanced protection of the most deprived and vulnerable groups, including children with disabilities, from the consequences of natural disasters and climate-induced risks.
Within this framework, UNICEF is supporting the resilience of schools through the implementation of the Green School Programme. Through the engagement of education sector professionals, school administrations, teachers, young volunteers and adolescents in disaster risk-prone areas, the initiative seeks to enhance preparedness, reduce risks and mitigate the impacts of potential disasters at school and community levels.
Building on ongoing pilot initiatives implemented in 18 schools under DRR interventions and 20 schools under the Green School Programme, UNICEF plans to expand both interventions to at least 100 schools nationwide in 2026.
Within the framework of the Programme Document implemented jointly with the NRCST, and in line with the 2026 Annual Work Plan between UNICEF and the Ministry of Education, UNICEF seeks to engage a National Consultant to provide technical and operational support for the implementation and scale-up of the Green School Programme while ensuring coherence with broader DRR interventions across the education system.

In partnership with the South African Department of Basic Education (DBE), The Education Outcomes Fund (EOF) launched the South Africa ECCE Outcomes Fund (“Fund 1.0”) in December 2025. Over three years, five implementing partners (IPs) will open around 1.4k new Early learning programmes (ELPs) and support around 600 existing ones throughout the country. The Outcomes fund is a form of outcomes-based financing, wherein payment to IPs is dependent on their progress towards pre-specified target outcomes. Under this model, EOF, IPs, and pre-financers providing working capital and performance management to the IPs, will frequently collect monitoring and evaluation data related to the interventions.
Fund 1.0 was developed as a way to learn about how to improve ECCE quality, to provide space for innovation, and as an opportunity for the DBE to broaden partnerships with non-state ECCE providers. Towards the scaling objectives of the 2030 ECD strategy and as outlined in the Bana Pele Blueprint, the DBE and EOF are interested in surfacing learnings from Fund 1.0 to inform the design of a future outcomes fund (“ELP Fund 2.0”). To support that effort, EOF is looking to collaborate with a consultant who will serve as a full-time member of the South Africa country team, to lead the learning, scaling, and evidence synthesis agenda for Fund 1.0.
