Background of the Project: 

The Inter-Agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) and the Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action (the Alliance) are global networks of actors working on education and child protection in emergencies/humanitarian settings. Education in Emergencies (EiE) and Child Protection in Humanitarian Action (CPHA) actors work side-by-side to respond to the needs of all children and youth affected by emergencies, crises and forced displacement, including the most vulnerable children (e.g. children with disabilities). The two networks recognize the importance of supporting both complementary and integrated programs to improve outcomes for children in crisis.

Scope of Work: 

INEE is seeking a consultant with extensive experience in both Education in Emergencies (EiE) and Child Protection in Humanitarian Action (CPHA) who is familiar with current priorities and interventions in integrated and joint programming between the two sectors.

The purpose of the consultancy is to deliver several key documents that support the CPHA-EiE Reference Group’s workplan, specifically focusing on the dissemination and use of the recently published Guidance Notes for Supporting Integrated Child Protection and Education Programming in Humanitarian Action. The consultant will organise CPHA-EiE Reference Group meetings andl work closely with the INEE’s Team Lead/ Thematic Areas, INEE Director, The Alliance’s Leadership and Multi-Sectoral focal point to ensure that relevant perspectives, resources, and discussions are reflected in the documents indicated as deliverables.

  • Organise 5 meetings held by the inter-agency CPHA-EiE Reference Group
  • Document feedback given that can be included in the CPHA-EiE Reference Group’s workplan.
