UNICEF Jobs - Peacebuilding M&E Specialist at United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund

Organisation: United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF)UNICEF, the United Nations Children’s Fund, is the driving force that helps build a world where the rights of every child are realized. Uganda is one of the over 190 countries and territories around the world where we work to overcome the obstacles that poverty, violence, disease, and discrimination place in a child’s path.The four-year Peacebuilding, Education and Advocacy Programme (PBEA), is a partnership between UNICEF, the Government of the Netherlands, the national governments of 14 participating countries and other key supporters. The goal of the PBEA is to strengthen resilience, social cohesion and human security in conflict-affected contexts, including countries at risk of – or experiencing and recovering from – conflict. Towards this end, the programme will strengthen policies and practices in education for peacebuilding. Fourteen countries have been selected across East Asia and the Pacific, South Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, Eastern and Southern Africa, and West and Central Africa to participate in the programme, including Uganda. PBEA supports diverse and complementary interventions to mainstream conflict sensitivity and promote peacebuilding throughout the education sector. PBEA-supported interventions place schools at the centre of peaceful communities where collaborative partnerships between institutions, schools and communities support social cohesion and access to and enjoyment of quality education.In order to achieve these results, the program will focus on five key outcomes. Outcome One aims to increase inclusion of education into peacebuilding and conflict reduction policies, analyses and implementation. Outcome Two will increase institutional capacities to supply conflict sensitive education. Outcome Three aims to increase capacity of children, parents, teachers and other duty-bearers to prevent, reduce and cope with conflict and promote peace. Outcome Four will increase access to quality, relevant conflict sensitive education that contributes to peace. Outcome Five is cross-cutting and will contribute to the generation and use of evidence and knowledge in policies and programming related to education, conflict and peacebuilding.PBEA spans engagement in the sectors of education, child protection, communications and advocacy:ECD Support: Bringing communities together around common goals, Increases retention and enrolment, Builds up service provision around the countryQuality and Child Friendly Schools which provide access to conflict-sensitive education, Education builds conflict resilience, Education is an important peace dividend, Education which provides economic opportunity is paramount to building peace, Teacher training to support implementation of national education curriculumViolence Against Children: Ending cycle of violence, Providing psychosocial support, Strengthening judicial and protection systems for children, strengthening the RTRR process and knowledge of same.Engaging Youth: (Support to employment and income generation, providing opportunities to engage in issues (U-Report), piloting the use of technologies, support to bringing back children to school, youth Scouts, etc.)Community Engagement: District Dialogues, Community baraazas, Communication campaigns, U-ReportAdvocacy Research, Learning, Policy: Advocate for the inclusion of Education in peacebuilding planning, programmes, and policies AND research agenda which helps UNICEF build knowledge base on youth engagement in particularJob Justification: Monitoring and Evaluation remains a crucial aspect of the PBEA program, which is piloting a new approach for UNICEF. Documenting change in areas of social cohesion, resilience and human security as a result of the program interventions underpins the ‘learning by doing’ approach of the program and requires a robust and highly specialized methodology that captures output and outcome level outcomes and substantively contribute to the overall implementation of the PBEA program research outcomes by generating useful knowledge about best practices and impact. Moreover, as we approach the last 12 months of programming it is imperative that a final-year M&E strategy is developed and implemented so that relevant lessons are captured and articulated into a PBEA 2 proposal to be submitted to the donor in the course of 2015.Job Summary: The UNICEF Peacebuilding M&E Specialist will design and implement a comprehensive, innovative and participatory monitoring and evaluation methodology for the final year of the PBEA program utilizing qualitative and quantitative tools to guide the work of UNICEF staff and partners.
