For every child, the right to learn

UNICEF works in some of the world’s most challenging contexts to reach the most disadvantaged children — to save lives, defend rights, and help every child realize their full potential. Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for all. And we never give up. UNICEF’s fundamental mission is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything we do — through programmes, advocacy, and operations. Our equity strategy translates this commitment into action by prioritizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families. Equity means ensuring that all children have an equal opportunity to survive, develop, and thrive without discrimination or bias. When any child faces unequal chances in life — socially, politically, economically, or culturally — their rights are violated.
Evidence shows that investing in the health, education, and protection of the most marginalized not only enables all children to fulfill their potential but also fosters sustainable growth and stability. This is why equity is central to UNICEF’s work: it accelerates progress toward realizing the rights of all children, as enshrined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, while promoting inclusive development for Nations.
Since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine on 24 February 2022, 6.4 million refugees have been displaced, with 1.6 million settling in Poland. Refugee women and children represent the majority of this population. As of February 2025, there are over 360,000 Ukrainian refugee children in Poland, nearly half of whom are enrolled in Polish schools. To respond to this crisis, UNICEF established a Refugee Response Office in Poland and partnered with national and municipal authorities, as well as local NGOs, to provide critical support to affected communities.
Through this consultancy, UNICEF will support the Ministry of National Education (MoNE) in coordinating, implementing, and monitoring additional support services under the “Accessible School for All” (ASA) project — a key UNICEF priority for 2026. The consultant will work closely with the Educational Research Institute (IBE) to ensure effective implementation and alignment with project objectives.

Additionally, UNICEF is partnering with the Centre for Education Development (ORE) on a national antibullying programme. The consultant will provide technical leadership and coordinate knowledge-sharing events to scale this initiative nationwide under MoNE/ORE leadership in 2026. The consultant will also serve as a liaison between IBE, ORE, MoNE, and UNICEF to ensure smooth collaboration and delivery of results. 

Scope of work:

The consultant will provide technical and coordination support to UNICEF and its partners to advance inclusive education initiatives under the renewed partnership for the “Accessible School for All” (ASA) project and the national anti-bullying programme. Acting as the primary liaison between UNICEF, the Ministry of National Education (MoNE), the Educational Research Institute (IBE), and the Centre for Education Development (ORE), the consultant will manage partnerships, ensure alignment of technical inputs, and facilitate knowledge-sharing and capacity-building activities to strengthen implementation.

In addition, the consultant will support MoNE in planning and implementing additional services under the ASA project and provide technical leadership for the design and rollout of anti-bullying interventions, ensuring integration into national education strategies and continuation of the programme in 2027. The role includes organizing workshops and events to scale the anti-bullying programme nationally, while maintaining effective coordination and communication among all stakeholders to resolve bottlenecks and ensure smooth delivery.

The consultant will also develop and maintain monitoring frameworks for both initiatives, prepare progress reports, and document lessons learned to inform future programming. Furthermore, the consultant will lead knowledge management efforts by producing technical briefs, presentations, and capacity-building materials, leveraging resources from IBE and ORE to promote evidence-based practices and support educators and school administrators in creating inclusive and safe learning environments.
