Aga Khan Foundation Request for Proposal for an Events Planner-Schools2030 Global Forum 2025 Event Planner Jobs in Kenya
Aga Khan FoundationThe Aga Khan Foundation (AKF), founded by His Highness the Aga Khan in 1967, is a member of the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), one of the world’s leading poverty solutions networks. AKDN’s integrated approach makes long-term investments, builds permanent institutions, and cultivates an active civil society, impacting tens of millions of people annually in 30 countries. Alongside its sister AKDN agencies, AKF implements innovative, community-driven solutions that are based in decades of experience, learning and evaluation. In East Africa (EA), AKF is managing a robust and expanding portfolio of multi-sectorial initiatives that includes investments in education, early childhood development, sustainable economic development, and civil society strengthening.
Schools2030
Schools2030 is a global movement for holistic learning and teacher leadership. Implemented in ten countries spread across Africa, Asia, and South America (Afghanistan, Brazil, India, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Portugal, Tajikistan, Tanzania, and Uganda, the movement brings together a diverse coalition which includes educators, school leaders, civil society, researchers, international organizations and government across ten countries targeting 1,000+ schools, 50,000 teachers, and 500,000 learners. Our goal is to improve quality teaching and holistic learning, and to foster resilient education systems across the world, including for those living in remote regions and those facing multiple forms of marginalization and crises. We do this through a focus on teacher agency – recognizing educators as leaders, innovators, and active agents in education reform.
Global Forum
The inaugural Global Forum was held in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania in 2022; the second in Porto Portugal in 2023; and the third in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. Each year in June, Schools2030 invites more than 200 delegates with various expertise and perspectives – including teachers, policymakers, academics, civil society, youth and others – from over 30 countries to engage in critical dialogue with one another on a range of pressing themes in education.
The Schools2030 Global Forum is hosted in a different programme country each year in partnership with national education authorities, and seeks to celebrate that country’s unique cultural heritage, as well as its educational achievements. Schools2030 Global Forums aim to create spaces where teachers can showcase their innovations and be brought into critical dialogue with policymakers and other education actors from around the world, so that together, we can generate new insights, partnerships, and action steps about how schools, systems and societies can work together better to achieve SDG4 by 2030.
Vision
The fourth annual Schools2030 Global Forum will be held in Kenya, in June 2025. The event will bring together 200-250 delegates from over 20 countries to convene to discuss pressing topics around global education, teacher professional development, and teacher leadership and agency (exact theme TBD).
The event must integrate the Global Forum theme, the vision of the Schools2030 programme, and the
values of the AKF, AKDN, and our partner organizations. The event should feel inclusive for all delegates, young people, teachers, education practitioners, researchers, and high-level senior representatives from development partners and ministries. The Global Forum is an interactive and participatory event to celebrate the achievements of teachers, young people, and the broader Schools2030 programme and a space for this diverse group to learn, discuss, and commit to actions that can transform the future of education. The Global Forum must reflect AKF’s commitment to climate action and net zero.
The Schools2030 Global Forum is not a conference, rather an engaging experience. The Event Planner must deliver an experience that reflects Schools2030, AKF’s broader education work (and other integrated development sectors), and the vibrant fusion of culture, technology, nature, and historical essence of Kenya.
