Are you a passionate advocate for education? Do you want to make a difference in the lives of children in the world’s poorest countries? The Global Partnership for Education Secretariat (GPE) would like to hear from you.
GPE is a shared commitment to end the world’s learning crisis. It is the only global partnership and fund dedicated entirely to helping children in lower-income countries get a quality education, so they can unlock their potential and contribute to building a better world.
We bring together governments, teachers, civil society, donors, United Nations agencies, development banks, businesses, and private foundations to transform education systems so that every girl and boy can have hope, opportunity and agency.
GPE currently supports almost 90 low and lower-middle-income countries to transform their education systems so that all children can get the education they need to thrive. We work where the needs are greatest and focus on reaching the children who are the most vulnerable, including girls, children with disabilities and those who live in countries characterized by extreme poverty or conflict.
Our unique approach works. Since 2002, 160 million more children in GPE partner countries have set foot in classrooms for the first time, more than half of them girls.
Now, GPE is working to help governments transform their education systems to get the most vulnerable children in school, improve teaching and learning, and build equitable, inclusive and resilient education systems fit for the 21st century. Between 2020-2025, GPE will support transformative change in up to 90 countries and territories, which are home to 1 billion children.
Transforming education is about creating lasting changes and achieving impact at scale. GPE sets out to deliver this transformative change by convening partners, mobilizing funds and catalyzing reforms to help partner countries accelerate access, learning outcomes and gender equality.
In July 2021, the Global Education Summit put GPE firmly on the path to be fully funded by 2025, by raising a record US $4 billion from donors for GPE’s Raise Your Hand campaign. At the Summit, Heads of State and Government from partner countries made historic commitments to education financing and GPE also mobilized an unprecedented number of pledges from businesses, private foundations, and development banks.
A fully funded GPE would support transformed education systems in up to 90 countries and territories, enable up to 175 million children to learn and help get 88 million more girls and boys in school by 2025. In the longer term, this investment could add $164 billion to economies in GPE partner countries, lift 18 million people out of poverty, and protect 2 million girls from early marriage.
Germany has been a member and active partner of the GPE since 2005. It is currently the fourth largest donor to the GPE. GPE’s work in Germany is primarily focused on positioning GPE amongst stakeholders, with a particular focus on the German government, parliament (Bundestag), civil society, and the media.
The communications and (social) media consultant – Germany will support GPE’s engagement in Germany by identifying and developing strategic and tactical communications (also social media) to position GPE with the current government and public in the lead-up to GPE’s next replenishment (expected to be held in 2026). The key objective for this role is to raise GPE’s profile through positive (social) media coverage in support of GPE’s advocacy strategy in Germany.
The short-term consultant (STC) will serve initially for approximately 35 days until the end of the calendar year 2024 (an average of 1.5 days a week), with the possibility of extension. The position holder must be based in Germany, preferably Berlin.
Application deadline: 31 May 2024, but applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis
Preferred starting date: As soon as possible
The position is part of the External Relations Team (EXR) whose responsibilities include donor relations, communications, advocacy, civil society outreach, private sector and private foundation outreach.
