Context and Background:
CARE International in Pakistan is looking to hire services of a consultant, to help development of a proposal on Education in Emergencies (EiE) and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR).
The donor’s approach to education in emergencies (EiE) and protracted crises encompasses sudden and slow-onset emergencies, conflicts, situations of violence, forced displacement, disasters and public health emergencies, protracted and recurrent crises or any combination of these. The donor will support responses to the humanitarian needs in accessing uninterrupted quality education by children affected by these crises.
The objective of EiE actions is to promote access to safe, inclusive and quality learning opportunities for children affected by crises. EiE actions will respond to the multiple barriers (academic, financial, social, institutional, physical/infrastructural) that children face in accessing their education due to their experiences of the humanitarian situation. As such, EiE actions must be tailored to the different needs of children based on their age, gender and other specific circumstances including the specific impact of the emergency they face.
In line with this vision, the proposal will entail EiE actions conceived with a medium to long-term vision. This implies first and foremost that programmes be designed and implemented in a way that allows for the fullest and most rapid recovery of safe, inclusive and quality education services. At the same time, programmes must be aligned with development and/or government actions to ensure continuity of learning for affected children through proper transition planning. Therefore, in order to ensure continuity and alignment with the wider humanitarian and development responses, EiE actions must be informed by any existing education sector framework as well as the inter-sectoral humanitarian response.
