Long Description

In March 2018, UNESCO launched a project titled ‘ Our Rights, Our lives, Our
Future*> ’ which seeks to improve sexual and reproductive health (SRH), gender
and education outcomes for adolescents and young people in the Sub-Saharan
Africa region through sustained reductions in new HIV/STI infections, early
and unintended pregnancy and gender-based violence. The project supports
delivery of good quality CSE that empowers adolescents and young people, and
builds agency while developing the skills, knowledge, attitudes and
competencies required for preventing HIV, reducing early and unintended
pregnancies and eliminating gender based violence. The project has four main
objectives designed to contribute to the effective strengthening of sexuality
education programmes

*> a) *> Secure and sustain strong political commitment and support for
adolescents and young people’s access to comprehensive sexuality education and
sexual and reproductive health services across Sub- Saharan Africa.

*> b) *> Support the delivery of accurate, rights-based and good quality
comprehensive sexuality education programmes that provide knowledge, values
and skills essential for safer behaviours, reduced adolescent pregnancy, and
gender equality

*> c) *> Ensure that schools and community environments are safer, healthier
and inclusive for all young people

*> d) *> Strengthen the evidence base on CSE and safer school environments=v

Long Description

The youth-teacher dialogue is planned to take place from August to October
2020. This activity will be executed in close collaboration with the
Department for Inspectorate and Advisory Services (DIAS) in the MoEST as well
as the Ministries of Gender and Youth. DIAS will approve the organization to
allow them to enter schools for recruiting participants, and all ministries
will provide input on the agenda and recruitment as well as benefit from
collected data.

The dialogue will bring together 150 participants from secondary schools; 30
secondary school Life Skills Education (LSE) teachers and 120 students. The
attending students will represent ten schools and be selected based on
interest and involvement, e.g. through participation at in-school youth clubs
on SRHR. They will share perspectives and opinions of those directly
experiencing Life Skills Education. Students from functional literacy centres
which are supported by UNICEF will also be invited to share perspectives of
out-of-school youth. This activity will benefit from lessons learnt by
dialogues between youth and district officials, conducted by UNFPA.

Discussions will be recorded and used by M&E point persons from the
facilitating organisation as part of collected data. Organization and
facilitation of the event, recruitment of participants, development of
questionnaires and data selection tools, and monitoring and evaluation will be
done by the selected consultancy.

Long Description

The youth-teacher-dialogue work assignment will include preparation of event.
Specifically provision of meeting venue, invitation of participants,
management and payment of logistics (venue, catering, accommodation). The
organisation and coordination plan for the youth-teacher dialogue will be
subject to MoEST approval with input from Ministries of Youth, Gender and
other stakeholders. The selected consultancy will coordinate data gathering
and compilation of reports in consultation with UNESCO.
