UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.

Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.

And we never give up.

**For every child, **_dedication._**

**Purpose of Activity/Assignment**

Produce a methodology to estimate numbers of children and teachers reached by Education in Emergencies (EiE) activities both at the country and global levels. The methodology will be developed on the basis of existing EiE activity reporting tools (5W in Excel and ActivityInfo formats), good practices by country Education Clusters, HRP response indicators, and ongoing efforts to improve global humanitarian reporting (OCHA). It will also take into account limitations in reporting by partners and propose solutions to improve the level of reporting by Education Cluster members.

In addition, the consultant will write a guidance note on different options and preferences for calculating numbers of people targeted for humanitarian response on the basis of existing GEC documentation and consultations with Education Cluster country teams, GEC data specialists and OCHA Needs and Response Analysis Section (NARAS) & Assessment, Planning and Monitoring Branch (APMB) teams.

**Scope of work**

The Global Education Cluster (GEC) seeks to develop an improved recommended methodology to estimate the number of people reached by Education in Emergencies (EiE) interventions both at the country and global levels. In countries where Education Clusters are activated, Education Cluster Coordinators and Information Management Specialists are in charge of setting approaches to monitor the implementation of EiE activities, and to estimate the total number of children and teachers reached through these activities. For that, the teams propose standard EiE activities and the corresponding indicators to their Cluster members, include and monitor them in the 5W tool (Excel or ActivityInfo), and aggregate data from these few indicators by using simple formulas such as the maximum number at the lowest administrative level for the same category of people. These activity indicators can but are not necessarily linked with the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) output indicators that Education Cluster teams have to provide at the beginning of a year’s humanitarian cycle and report on during the following year.

The lack of standardized indicators and a common approach to aggregating numbers of people reached by different activities makes the aggregation of the 30+ country figures challenging at the global level. Because activities, indicators and formulas used differ from one country to another, the global figure of children reached by EiE activities and the comparison of country achievements cannot be considered reliable.

Conversely, the provision of a standardized methodology would reduce the time spent by country teams devising indicators and adapting their approach every year. Furthermore, the alignment of HRP output and 5W response indicators would also help save time by having to adapt and select these indicators only once during the HNO-HRP process. It would also provide Education partners with a longer-term visibility on these indicators, allowing them to improve their monitoring and facilitate this exercise over time, resulting in a better reporting. Most importantly, this would contribute to improving the monitoring of partners’ interventions performance, the analysis of gaps, and adapting the response and funding requests accordingly. At the global level, the implementation of one methodology would support the analysis of EiE activities and link them with SDG 4 reporting, allow comparison of country achievements and the production of a more reliable figure of children and teachers reached.

While there are a few existing country cluster methodologies which the consultant will review and use to inform the recommended methodology, the choice of indicators and calculation method will be done through a comprehensive review of the indicators which are most used by country teams and most pertinent to report activities, outputs and people reached in HRPs and 5Ws. In addition to using relevance and quality criteria to screen these indicators, the consultant will consult country Education Cluster Coordinators and IMOs to provide advice and confirm the selection of the recommended indicators, while ensuring that the data is widely available for these indicators, that they complement each other, and that overlap is minimized. The selection of relevant activities and indicators will also take into account People in Need (PiN) dim
