Learning Passport Consultant

We pursue this goal by partnering with stakeholders such as the government, non-governmental organizations, change-makers in civil society and the private sector to influence and improve laws, policies, and programmes which will impact how children access quality services. We are in a unique position to collaborate with everyone including advocates and service providers who work closely with children and their families, as well as the elected leaders who are responsible to ensure that laws and policies are in line with children’s rights. Most importantly, we integrate the voices of our children and adolescents by engaging them on the issues that affect their lives.

Focusing our attention on children in vulnerable situations, we have five priority areas in the Jamaica country programme document (2022 to 2026): 

• Child protection
• Climate action and resilience
• Education
• Social policy
• Survive and thrive

Everything we do is guided by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which Jamaica ratified in 1991.

This consultancy will proactively engage all relevant stakeholders to work collaboratively towards the roll out of the Learning Passport Jamaica. Under the supervision of the SDG Joint Programme Coordinator and the UNICEF Education Specialist and the Chief Education Officer at MoEY.
