| Safe to Learn is a global initiative hosted by UNICEF that unites governments, civil society, and international partners to end violence in and around schools so that every child is safe to learn. It supports countries to strengthen policies, systems, and practices that prevent and respond to all forms of violence—physical, sexual, psychological, and online—while promoting positive, inclusive, and gender-responsive learning environments. Through evidence generation, advocacy, and coordinated action across education and child protection sectors, Safe to Learn helps translate global commitments into tangible progress for children. The initiative is currently comprised of 17 global partners and 19 endorsed countries across South Asia, Africa and Latin America and Caribbean
The Global Partnership for Education (GPE), Global Affairs Canada, UNICEF and the Safe to Learn (STL) Coalition are jointly working to strengthen national capacity to prevent and respond to violence in, around, and through schools. Countries that have endorsed the Safe to Learn Call to Action can assess their progress through a benchmarking assessment. The findings of the benchmarking exercise can then be used by countries to inform wider sector planning and policy dialogue. To date, 17 countries have undertaken a benchmarking assessment covering the period 2019-2023. A consultant is required to support countries to update their benchmarking assessments for the period 2024-2025, as well as to undertake a first assessment for countries that have recently joined Safe to Learn. Short country briefs will summarize actionable insights for policy makers and partners. The consultant will work under the guidance of the STL Secretariat and in close collaboration with UNICEF Country Office and STL coalition partners.
The purpose of this consultancy is to undertake Safe to Learn benchmarking assessments in Safe to Learn endorsed countries. |
