If you are a committed, creative professional and are passionate about making a lasting difference for children, the world's leading children's rights organization would like to hear from you.
For 70 years, UNICEF has been working on the ground in 190 countries and territories to promote children's survival, protection and development. The world's largest provider of vaccines for developing countries, UNICEF supports child health and nutrition, good water and sanitation, quality basic education for all boys and girls, and the protection of children from violence, exploitation, and AIDS. UNICEF is funded entirely by the voluntary contributions of individuals, businesses, foundations and governments.
Purpose of the Assignment
The Information Management Consultant will enable the UNICEF Lebanon Education Section have a comprehensive data management system to support its planning, fundraising, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation needs.
Background
Syria's conflict has generated a crisis not only inside the country but throughout the region. Now in its fifth year, it has resulted in the displacement of over one million people into Lebanon alone; creating an incredible burden on the Government, UN, humanitarian agencies and host communities.
Children and youth are being significantly impacted by the Crisis. Many refugee children are out of school; and those most vulnerable face intense difficulties in accessing and staying in schools. The UNICEF Education Programme has invested substantial technical and financial resources into the Lebanese public education system to provide these affected children with improved access to a quality education. In parallel, efforts are being made through non-governmental organisations to reach children who are not qualified to enter the formal education system.
With several years of education response programmes in partnership with education stakeholders in the Lebanon, UNICEF is a major contributor to the Education Sector. Parallel to implementing such large and complex programmes is the need to accurately collect data that will inform better planning and reporting.
A national Information Management (IM) working group is operational in Beirut, Lebanon for coordination and collaboration of IM needs. In addition to this, each sector has an IM focal point supporting both national and field level coordination. In this context, due the large intervention of UNICEF with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, a dedicated information management officer is needed within the Education section to assist in data management, data collection, and result monitoring.
