Founded in 2002 by President William J. Clinton, the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to strengthening integrated health systems around the world and expanding access to care and treatment for HIV/AIDS, malaria and other illnesses. Based on the premise that business-oriented strategy can facilitate solutions to global health challenges, CHAI acts as a catalyst to mobilize new resources and optimize the impact of these resources to save lives, via improved organization of commodity markets and more effective local management. CHAI does not operate stand-alone programs, nor does it build parallel health systems. Rather, CHAI works at the invitation and in support of governments. CHAI's teams are working side-by-side with more than 30 governments to tackle many of the largest barriers to effective health care.

CHAI is currently operating in Ethiopia carrying out a wide range of programs to support the Ministry of Health in improving access to and increasing the quality of health services. As one of CHAI's largest field offices with more than 150 staff, the Ethiopia office operates programs across hospital management; maternal, newborn and child health; HIV/AIDS; nutrition; vaccines; and health financing. The health financing program aims to transform how the health system is financed to substantially and sustainably increase access to services, beginning with essential services for those most in need.

Job Requirements

The Government of Ethiopia has supported significant improvements in health over the past decade and now aims to accelerate progress to deliver quality essential health services to its growing population of close to 100 Million people. To achieve this goal, Ethiopia is rolling out health insurance schemes with the goal of reaching most of the population by 2020. If successful, Ethiopia will set an example for all other countries working towards the goal of universal health coverage on the continent.

To successfully roll out this ambitious reform, the newly-staffed Ethiopian Health Insurance Agency will need to overcome technical, operational and management challenges of insurance scale-up across a large and diverse country. This includes making evidence-based decisions in key areas such as the initial design of the benefits package and premium rates, as well as setting up processes to continuously revise these decisions. There will also be a need to strengthen core operations for successful enrollment, provider payment, and financial management. As experience from other countries has shown, the early stages of launch will determine the success of the reform.

CHAI has been supporting the Government of Ethiopia in health financing over the past few years and has been asked by senior leadership to provide more comprehensive support to all of these areas in order to ensure this reform has the intended outcomes in increasing access to quality care for all in need.

A Service Provider is being recruited to complete the below TOR. The individual consultant will manage this contract and be responsible for defining module content, quality assurance and dissemination of outputs.

Background The Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 sets out a global ambition for all girls and boys to complete one year pre-primary and twelve years of basic education by 2030. To achieve SDG4, UNICEF will support governments in the progressive realization of early childhood, primary, lower and upper secondary education. The UNICEF Strategic Plan, Core Commitments for Adolescents and Gender Action Plan (GAP) articulate these priorities. Success will be measured by improved learning outcomes and ensuring that ‘no child is left behind. This means a focus not only on enabling access, but on the equal right of all boys and girls to participate, learn and enjoy the benefits of education.

To design effective programs, UNICEF staff need to understand the challenges faced by adolescent girls and boys in a particular context. Whilst CO have the tools to identify barriers[1], there is a need for guidance, in the form of well packaged evidence, on effective interventions at secondary level, including where gaps in existing knowledge.

Objectives, Purpose and Expected Results

The objective of the assignment is to develop guidance on secondary education. The purpose is for CO to use this guidance to support partner governments to equitably expand access to post primary education, providing girls and boys with relevant learning outcomes, as per SDG4. The guidance should have a strong gender and equity perspective in line with UNICEF’s mandate to focus on the most disadvantaged children and adolescents.

The expected results (outputs) are that by early 2017 the following documents will be produced and shared with UNICEF regional and country offices; (i) Guidance Paper on Secondary Education and (ii) a set of modules on specific sub-themes including equity, gender, and skills for employment.

Description of the Assignment

The Programme Guidance on Secondary Education will be comprised of three modules;

Module 1 (equity):** should provide information evidence based strategies that can support improvements in education access to post-primary education opportunities for disadvantaged children – e.g. the poor, ethnic and linguistic minorities, children from remote areas, children with disabilities, and other vulnerable and marginalized groups. The module will support decision-making in this regard. It will link to existing guidance where available (i.e. allinschool.org). The module will be developed in consultation with the Education Section (in particular the P&P team), disability colleagues and relevant regional advisors.

Given UNICEF’s focus on the most marginalized, approaches need to be tailored to the life paths of different groups of adolescents and embedded in the socio-economic context of each country. A life cycle approach facilitates an understanding of where adolescent boys and girls exited the education system, and how they might be supported to re-enter education or to acquire relevant skills and knowledge through other pathways. It will consider both the provision of education services, as well as the barriers faced by disadvantaged groups and how these have been overcome. This will include strategies to improve the accessibility of post-primary education through flexible learning programs. The paper will include a synthesis of existing evidence as well as examples of good practice in UNICEF programming, including in fragile contexts and humanitarian settings.

Module 2 (gender):** should provide information on evidence based strategies to support girls’ (and boys’) education and gender equality and will support decision-making in this regard. This will include a synthesis of the evidence base in this area. The guidance should consider the multiple gender-related barriers faced by disadvantaged adolescent girls and boys (i.e. poor, rural, disabled, ethnic minority etc.) in accessing education and achieving relevant learning outcomes. The specific challenges faced by boys in some contexts should be referenced. The module will be developed in consultation with the Education Section, Gender Section, UNGEI and relevant regional advisors.

The guidance will align to the existing UNICEF Gender Action Plan Strategy on Girls’ Secondary Education, and signpost existing UNICEF/UNGEI and other partner resources, where these exist. It will set out the need for UNICEF to adopt a multi-sectoral response to removing gendered bottlenecks to girls and boys continued progression through the education system, including short case studies from UNICEF/other partners.

Module 3 (skills for employability):** should provide information on possible evidence based strategies to improve skills of adolescent boys and girls and will support decision-making in this regard. The module will set out the range of knowledge and skills needed by young people (for life, learning and future livelihoods) and multiple pathways through which these can be obtained. In doing so, the module will consider patterns of workplace transitions experienced by adolescent and youth in different contexts (building on the MENA paper on Workplace Transitions).

The comparative advantage of partners will be highlighted, as well as areas where UNICEF may add value, for example by targeting the most disadvantaged youth in skills development programs. The guidance will build on the Core Commitments for Adolescents (education) set out in the Second Decade Programme Guidance (UNICEF, 2016). It will be developed in consultation with the Second Decade matrix group, signposting existing guidance and resources where these exist (i.e. ILO, World Bank, GIZ). The module will be developed with Education, Adolescent and Child Protection Sections and relevant regional advisors.

The Guidance Paper on Secondary Education will help UNICEF COs make choices in terms of how to support the development of post-primary education. It will summarize key messages from the analytical paper and modules and will identify broad areas of UNICEF comparative advantage to inform contextualized decision making during the development of a Country Programme Document. It will also feed into the UNICEF Global Education Strategy (2016) to be developed later this year.

A draft UNICEF analytical paper on secondary education with an equity lens has already been developed. It provides evidence to support sector-level choices in terms of secondary education expansion with an equity focus. It will inform the deliverables, but its finalization is beyond the remit of this consultancy.

Methodology

The deliverables should help Country Offices’ decision-making in terms of support to education at post-primary levels. They should summarise, updating them if necessary, existing evidence reviews, identifying critical dimensions and trends. They will assess the strength of the evidence base for key policy and program strategies. UNICEF case studies will be used to illustrate how these have been implemented. The guidance will identify existing tools that can support country offices to further their analysis and planning (e.g. MoRES[2], OOSCI, Education Sector Analysis, conflict analysis). The evidence and case studies should be designed in a format suited to the needs of UNICEF Country Office staff. This will require a synthesis of the evidence reviews in to short, easy to read briefs or modules that can be used to inform programming.

A highly "collaborative approach" should be utilised with inputs from Education Section, cross-cutting sections at HQ and Regional Offices. The Education Section will facilitate this consultation through existing networks. The findings of the "evidence reviews should be shared with UNICEF staff*"to facilitate a discussion on the areas at post primary where UNICEF should ‘lead’ and where we should ‘support’. This will inform the final synthesis of evidence, as well as recommendations, contained in the modules.

The modules should also include or provide links to practical tools on how to support programming efforts post primary, including key principles and effective programming approaches[3], with a gender and equity perspective.

Deliverables

The package will be submitted in English and will include:

Meta-reviewof literature (by end September)

• Making use of existing literature reviews, synthesize and present findings against each of the three module, including gaps in evidence. Use the UNICEF internal analytical paper on secondary and Girls’ Secondary Education Game Plan to frame the presentation.

Modules (by January)

• Draft and final modules presenting possible activities/interventions, related evidence, tools and case studies to inform strategies to support improved equity and learning outcomes for adolescent boys and girls post primary. To include a succinct executive summary.

Guidance Paper (by Jan)
