Save the Children Regional Education in Emergencies Professional Dev. manager Jobs in Kenya

East & Southern Africa (ESA) Regional Education in Emergencies (EiE) Professional Development Programme (PDP) Manager

Education is a fundamental component of humanitarian response: it contributes to the physically and psychologically protection of children, their families and communities; it supports and promotes the continuation of child development and learning and helps prevent drop out; it presents an opportunity to improve the reach, quality and relevance of education, including building resilience.

A key part of being able to initiate, design and implement timely and quality EiE responses that can do this is that the EiE Sector staff responsible possess the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes (competencies) - developing these is the aim of the Education in Emergencies Professional Development Programme (EiE PDP).

Building on the success of the Certificate in Advanced Studies (EiE CAS) developed and delivered over the last three years by Save the Children, and now accredited by University of Geneva, the ESA EiE PDP Manager will lead the process of implementing the ESA PDP Regional Strategy which will include a combination of accredited long course delivery (EiE CAS), shorter/intermediate course delivery and bespoke on-demand support, as well as looking for regional funding opportunities to supplement these programmes and for post-April 2021.

The ultimate aim of these efforts is to raise the EiE response capacity of regional and national education practitioners (from all EiE implementing agencies).

The ESA EiE PDP Manager will also be expected to support other regional capacity building initiatives on an ad hoc and on demand basis for up to a total of 5% of their time.
