UNICEF Pacific is actively supporting Pacific Island countries and territories with the development of evidence based, gender responsive, risk informed education sector plans for quality, inclusive education. A GEDSI education is part of a comprehensive response to ensure that all children, adolescents and young people have continuous, safe and equal access to learning in all contexts. It is an approach that seeks to address and respond to the diverse needs of all learners.  
This terms of reference outlines the expected support in 6 countries (Fiji, Kiribati, Tuvalu, Samoa, the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) and the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) to undertake a mixed methodology study and complete a report per country on GEDSI as part of sector analysis with findings and recommendations to inform the next education sector plan in each country, and/or to strengthen existing and/or planned education programmes in countries that already have recent education sector plan developed. Each country has specific lenses of emphasis for their own study although gender, disability and remote student groups are identified by all as multiple and overlapping factors that have an enormous impact on a child, adolescent and young person’s access, participation, retention, and learning outcomes.  
The Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) TA is expected to contribute to the education sector analysis and development of new national education sector plans by bringing perspectives on gender, equity, disability and social inclusion into the analysis and development process in the Pacific Islands countries. 
Levels of awareness vary considerably within each country, and it is the GEDSI TA’s responsibility to prepare an analysis of GEDSI issues that will support preparation of each new education sector plan and/or its implementation and support each Ministry/Department to ensure that GEDSI issues are reflected in goals, outcomes and strategies across each plan and identifies approaches to implementation. 
To qualify as an advocate for every child you will have…  
Education:   
  • Master’s degree in social sciences, education, gender, psychology. 
Experience, Skills and Language:   
  • Working with and advocating for GEDIS issues in education.
