UNICEF Brazil has as one of the priorities of its Country Program for 2024-2028 the confrontation of this culture of school failure and enhancement of education quality in Brazil. To this end, the Education area has developed three strategies. First, Successful School Pathways Strategy (SSP), that aims to support municipalities and states in the definition, implementation and evaluation of policies and actions to battle against age-grade distortion. Second, Let me Tell you a Story (DQEC) initiative that brings stories, games and curiosities about Brazilian culture through audio programs focused on early child development.
The third strategy, One Million Opportunities initiative, was designed to address a significant challenge that Brazil faces regarding the transition of its vast youth population into the workforce. The initiative strives to address these issues by providing skills development, apprenticeships, and employment opportunities for vulnerable youth.
In the context of The One Million Opportunities initiative, Generation Unlimited is a plan of action launched by the UN Secretary-General, in 2018, developed to deliver innovative solutions on a global scale based on a Public-Private-Youth Partnership. One of these innovative solutions is Green Rising, based on three pillars of action: youth engagement, advocacy and green skills, jobs and entrepreneurship.
Purpose

The consultant will provide technical support for the implementation of the state policy on environmental education, sustainability and climate in the state and municipal education network along with UNICEF and partnership with Pará State Secretary. Also, the consultant is expected to provide training for professionals of these education networks.
