UNESCO Core Values: Commitment to the Organization, Integrity, Respect for Diversity, Professionalism
In 2021, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), with support from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), launched the Our Rights, Our Lives, Our Future PLUS (O3 PLUS) project in Zambia and Zimbabwe. With additional support from the governments of Sweden, Norway, and France, the O3 PLUS project expanded to four more countries in the Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA) region: Kenya, Tanzania, Namibia, and Uganda. The O3 PLUS project builds on and extends the Our Rights, Our Lives, Our Future (O3) programme. Launched in 2018, the O3 programme has grown to become the largest comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) programme in Africa. The programme has been implemented across 33 countries in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), and aims to improve sexual and reproductive health, gender, and education outcomes for young people.
As a complement to the O3, the O3 PLUS edition focuses specifically on the higher and tertiary education cohort. The project aims to empower students in 38 higher and tertiary education institutions (HTEIs) across six project countries to achieve positive health, education, and gender equality outcomes. The project is aligned with UNESCO’s Medium-Term Strategy 2022-2029 (C/4) and Programme and Budget (C/5) notably; it directly responds to the organization’s two global priorities – Africa and gender equality. Working closely with regional structures, national ministries, particularly health and education, HTEIs, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), and young people, the project seeks to achieve a sustained reduction of new HIV infections, unintended pregnancies, and gender-based violence (GBV) through the promotion of innovation to access comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services. The project is building capacities to integrate gender both as a key concept and as a cross-cutting issue, ensuring a gender transformative approach is prevalent throughout. O3 PLUS seeks to transform gender norms and attitudes of students, and challenge rigid notions of masculinity.
Under the guidance and direct supervision of the UNESCO Education for Health and Well-being (EHW) Team Leader, the consultant will work with regional and national colleagues to deliver on the following tasks:
