La République Démocratique du Congo (RDC) fait face à des défis structurels majeurs dans l’accès aux services sociaux de base, notamment l’eau potable, l’assainissement et l’hygiène. En raison de son immensité géographique, de la faiblesse des infrastructures et de l’instabilité sécuritaire persistante dans plusieurs régions, dont l’Est du Pays, une grande partie de la population vit dans des conditions précaires qui favorisent la propagation des maladies hydriques et compromettent la santé publique. Selon l’Enquête Démographique de Santé (EDS 2023-2024), seulement 43% des ménages ont accès à un service d’eau potable de base et 15% à un assainissement basique. A cet effet l'Unicef recrute 5 consultants nationaux dans les provinces du Nord Kivu (2), Grand Kasai (2) et Sud Kivu (1).

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.
