Tracking Resilience in Education for Environment (TREE) Consultant, Programme Group, Education, NYHQ, remote. Req# 587250
|
United States
|
|
| the Education team at UNICEF will work with partners to develop and operate the TREE (Tracking Resilience in Education for Environment) Global Observatory. A consultant is requested to implement the key functions of the Observatory, including evidence generation on climate-related learning loss and system vulnerabilities, data mobilization to inform financing, policy, and resilience-building in education systems.
The consultant will also investigate to what extent countries are positioning digital education investments as a form of climate/disaster resilience infrastructure, and if so, the degree to which they are cost-effective compared to other physical contingency investments. This work will support the production of a think piece with recommendations on how countries can themselves conduct a similar cost-effectiveness and resilience analysis, exploring key issues such as equity-adjusted cost-effectiveness, (under)utilization, and dual-use investments that can support teaching and learning during normal times. In addition, the consultant will produce 7 case studies, based on desk research, of cost-effective business models that have successfully enabled EdTech to reach scale and resilience in resource-limited country contexts.
