UNICEF promotes the rights and well-being of every child through all its activities. Together with our partners we are working in 190 countries and territories to translate this commitment into concrete action with special efforts for the most vulnerable and marginalized children for the benefit of all children everywhere. And we never give up! For every child Hope! The Non-Formal Education Subsystem Governance Improvement Project (PAGENF) – funded by the World Bank to the tune of US$2052495 and implemented in collaboration with UNICEF – is directly linked to the implementation of Haiti's Ten-Year Education and Training Plan 2020-2030 (PDEF) and aims to strengthen the governance of the non-formal education subsystem. This innovative project revolves around four results: (i) the norms and management standards are revised for better regulation of the subsystem (result 1); norms and standards for teaching and content in the non-formal education sub-sector are adopted by education sector actors (outcome 2); (iii) norms and standards for teaching and content in the non-formal education sub-sector are adopted by education sector actors; (iv) an equivalence system for the first three cycles of basic is implemented (Outcome 4). The immediate effects expected from this project are of two types: (i) the governance of the education sub-sector is improved; (ii) the norms and standards of the non-formal education sub-sector are applied throughout the territory. The goal is that by 2030 the non-formal education policy is recognized and appropriated by all actors in the Haitian education system. Activities related to outcome 1 of this project include the development of a guide for the operation and management of non-formal education centres.

The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child everywhere in everything the organization does — in programs in advocacy and in operations. The equity strategy emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families translates this commitment to children’s rights into action. For UNICEF equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive develop and reach their full potential without discrimination bias or favoritism. To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life — in its social political economic civic and cultural dimensions — her or his rights are violated. There is growing evidence that investing in the health education and protection of a society’s most disadvantaged citizens — addressing inequity — not only will give all children the opportunity to fulfill their potential but also will lead to sustained growth and stability of countries. This is why the focus on equity is so vital. It accelerates progress towards realizing the human rights of all children which is the universal mandate of UNICEF as outlined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child while also supporting the equitable development of nations.

UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential. Across 190 countries and territories we work for every child everywhere every day to build a better world for everyone. And we never give up. For every child Research UNICEF Innocenti – Global Office of Research and Foresight tackles the questions of greatest importance for children both current and emerging. It drives change through research and foresight on a wide range of child rights issues sparking global discourse and actively engaging young people in its work. UNICEF Innocenti explores emerging issues identifies research gaps brings together existing researchers and supports or undertakes research and data collection to address critical questions and to inform policy dialogue and implementation at country level. Education is a key focus of UNICEF Innocenti with research on education and learning to support the implementation of best practices for education systems policies and programmes. Working with UNICEF Headquarters regional and country offices as well as universities and international partners the Research on Education And Development (READ) unit supports 50+ countries worldwide in conducting field research and evidence-based policy/literature reviews. Activities in the READ unit are carried out in different research streams: * Female school leaders (Women in Learning Leadership (WiLL) project) READ is establishing a new research portfolio based on emerging evidence showing positive associations between women head teachers and a range of outcomes for students including improved learning outcomes. The Women in Learning Leadership (WiLL) mixed methods research aims to expand the evidence base on gender and school leadership examining the differences in learning outcomes for schools led by women compared to men and understanding the behaviors and practices women adopt that contribute to these differences. WiLL also explores the current barriers preventing more women from becoming school leaders in low- and middle-income countries and the key policy levers that can increase female representation. * Teacher allocation (‘Teachers for All’ project) ‘Teachers for All’ (T4A) one of READ team’s new research projects is seeking to expand the evidence base on educators in Africa with the aim of exploring how the allocation of primary and pre-primary schoolteachers may be optimized to improve equity in learning outcomes. The project combines quantitative and qualitative methods and builds on findings from the Time to Teach project. T4A is currently active in 11 countries. * Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (‘Data Must Speak and Southeast Asia-Primary Learning Metrics (SEA-PLM) projects) Since 2019 in line with the UNICEF Foundational Learning and Numeracy (FLN) Programme Data Must Speak (DMS) research identifies positive deviant schools (i.e. schools that outperform others in terms of learning equity and retention even though they operate with equivalent resources and contexts). The research explores why those positive deviant schools are outperforming others and investigates how the behaviors/practices observed in the positive deviant schools could be optimally scaled in lower performing schools. DMS is demand-driven and uses a co-creation and co-implementation mixed-methods approach combining quantitative qualitative and participatory implementation research as well as behavioral and scaling science to improve uptake replicability and sustainability. The research is so far undertaken in 13 countries in Africa Asia and Latin America. UNICEF Innocenti is also working with UNICEF East Asia and Pacific Regional Office to support the assessment of foundational literacy and numeracy skills through the South-East Asia Primary Learning Metrics (SEA-PLM). Six countries in the region took part in the first round of SEA-PLM in 2019. UNICEF Innocenti’s support of SEA-PLM involves secondary data analysis to produce thematic regional reports as well as supporting country-level reporting and the development of subsequent rounds of the assessment. * Digital learning (Learning Passport Accessible Digital Textbooks Akelius) Leveraging UNICEF’s Global Reach And Local Capacity The Digital Learning Portfolio Embeds Action Research Into Digital Learning Partnerships To Inform And Improve The Way That Governments UNICEF And Partners * Deliver digital learning offline - The Learning Passport partnership between UNICEF and Microsoft has developed a fully interactive digital learning experience that is contextualized for each of the 19 countries where it is currently deployed and can be used without the internet. * Unlock opportunities for children with disabilities The Accessible Digital Textbooks initiative develops digital learning tools with features that allow children with disabilities to engage with the same content and in the same classroom as their peers. Currently implemented in 6 countries across Latin America and the Caribbean and Africa. * Develop foundational skills with a fun learning app - The UNICEF – Akelius Foundation partnership co-creates and implements an interactive and gamified digital learning app for language and math in 9 countries across the Middle East Africa and Europe. * Early childhood education The early years of a child’s life are critical to building the foundations of learning that help them succeed in school and beyond. READ has established a new research portfolio to use research to support early childhood education system strengthening. Activities in this theme includes an evidence review into what works how and in what context to improve equitable access to and learning quality in pre-primary education as well as a report into gender-transformative early childhood education systems. This year the team is focusing on implementation research into quality assurance in early childhood education and regional benchmarking of early childhood education systems. * Inclusive education for children with disabilities -Learning is For Everyone (LiFE) READ is establishing a new research portfolio on disability-inclusive education. This portfolio will build on the joint UNICEF/GPE/UNESCO/FCDO Guidelines for Education Sector Analysis (ESA) Volume III chapter on inclusive education for children with disabilities and on a current project to develop and trial resources to support parents and caregivers of children with disabilities with learning in inclusive settings. * The purpose of this call is to solicit applications from individuals who are interested in working with the Research on Education And Development (READ) unit in a consultant capacity on either a part time or full time basis either on-site in Florence Italy or remotely.
