Job Description

The consultant is expected to provide technical advice to UNICEF and to Pacific Island countries in inclusive education, including in the development and review of policies, plans and programmes, including capacity building, focused specifically on inclusive education, as well as in the technical review from an inclusion perspective in other education policies, plans and programmes, and integration of inclusion in the same.
The consultant is expected to work with of the Pacific Regional Inclusive Education Taskforce for Pacific regional initiatives and to work closely with country focal points from each Ministry of Education in each country, and – in both cases – to make every effort to coordinate and align with the work of other partners in the sector, and particularly to guide on partnerships and engagement with Organisations of People with Disabilities (OPDs).
The expected work covers these broad technical areas, which guides the required deliverables and indicative activities as presented in the table below:

Policy and planning / Inclusive education: This work includes the technical support to Ministries of Education in situational analysis of inclusive education systems; development, review and finalization of inclusive education policies and plans; and the preparation for any consultations, events and stakeholder engagement as required in these processes.
Teaching and learning / Inclusive education: This work includes the technical support to Ministries of Education to the development, implementation and review of inclusive education teacher training, teaching & learning materials, and parent/community engagement materials and approaches.
Cross-sectoral support to inclusion in parent engagement / ECD: This work includes technical support to Ministries of Education in collaboration with other relevant Ministries and departments to strengthen cross-sectoral support to families, parents and children.
Technical review and inputs to other Education policies, plans and programmes: This work includes the technical review of other policies, plans and programmes that are not specifically focused on inclusive education, but that need to integrate adequate attention and strategies on inclusion. This may benefit from occasional participation in UNICEF Education team meetings.
The consultant would be requested to provide technical reviews and feedback from an inclusion perspective to studies, concept notes and other associated documents.
Because of the evolving nature of the Education Programme, it is critical that technical support on inclusive education can be provided on an ongoing and as-needed basis. An initial quarterly workplan will be established in agreement between UNICEF and the consultant, outlining expected process, milestones, timeframes and estimated working days. This first workplan will be established on the basis of existing commitments made by UNICEF to support inclusion in the Pacific for early 2024. As 2024-2025 workplans are established in early 2024 and finalized by March 2024, this will inform the development of the second quarterly workplan and all subsequent workplans. The consultant can invoice on the basis of approved deliverables or milestones, based on agreed working days spent on the same, at a maximum on a monthly basis.
Supervision will be provided by the Education Specialist from the Pacific Multi-Country Office in Suva.
