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, **_an advocate._**
**Purpose of Activity/Assignment**
Central Asian countries face various hazards, including natural disasters, technological hazards, and climate-related challenges. These hazards, including earthquakes, floods, extreme weather events, and conflicts, pose significant risks to children, families, and communities across the region. Of particular concern are the safety and resilience of education institutions, as many schools are in areas prone to natural disasters, especially seismic zones. Inadequate structural integrity and poor management of education processes exacerbate the vulnerability of schools, potentially leading to significant damage and risks for students, teachers, and educational assets. A UNICEF-commissioned study in Kyrgyzstan highlighted alarming statistics, with up to 89% of preschools and 81% of schools found to be structurally unsafe, failing to meet legislative safety requirements. Such findings underscore the urgent need for comprehensive measures to ensure the safety of education environments.
Recognizing the critical importance of safe learning spaces, UNICEF, alongside members of the Global Alliance for Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience in the Education Sector (GADRRRES), launched the updated Comprehensive School Safety Framework (CSSF) in 2021. The CSSF provides strategic guidance to governments, partners, and stakeholders, emphasizing a holistic approach to risk reduction and resilience building in the education sector.
Amidst ongoing challenges and the evolving landscape of hazards, the upcoming Central Asia Ministerial Meeting on Progress with Implementation of the CSSF aims to showcase the CSSF 2022-2030 in the region, reflect on progress made in school safety and resilience, and advocate for coordinated efforts towards school safety and resilience. The meeting will also provide a platform for key stakeholders to showcase best practices, share experiences, and advocate for concerted efforts towards school safety and resilience in the region.
In this context, UNICEF is seeking to hire a consultant to support the endeavor by conducting background research, preparing pre-meeting brief(s), serving as a rapporteur during meeting sessions.
**Scope of Work**
The scope of work for this consultancy encompasses conducting comprehensive background research, preparing pre-meeting conference background document, serving as a rapporteur during the meeting, and finalizing the meeting report. These activities are integral to facilitating informed discussions, capturing valuable insights, and producing tangible outputs that contribute to advancing the implementation of the Comprehensive School Safety Framework in Central Asia.
**_ 1. Rapid Situation Analysis and Background Research:_**
The consultant will conduct a rapid situation analysis to gather relevant data, statistics, and reports pertaining to school safety and resilience in Central Asia (including Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan). This rapid analysis will involve reviewing existing policies, strategies, and legislation related to school safety in each country and analyzing relevant government initiatives and projects aimed at improving school safety and resilience. The aim will be to identify key challenges, gaps, and best practices in each country, drawing insights from relevant studies, assessments, and evaluations conducted by governments, organizations such as UNICEF, UNESCO, UNDRR and the World Bank.
**_ 2. Preparation of the Conference Background Document:_**
Based on the findings from the rapid situation analysis and background research, the consultant will prepare Conference Background Document including situation analysis, overview of the current state of school safety in Central Asia, highlighting priority areas for action and collaboration. The pre-meeting brief(s) will serve as a resource to ensure that all participants are well-informed and adequately prepared for productive discussions during the Ministerial Meeting. Apart from summarizing the key findings from the background research, the pre-meeting brief will also highlight some policy and programming recommendations.
**_ 3. Rapporteur for Meeting:_**
During the Ministerial Meeting, the consultant will assume the role of the lead rapporteur, tasked with capturing key discussions, decisions, and recommendations from the meeting.
