Specific objectives:
Assignment Tasks
After receiving the training in PSS and C/DRR teachers will be requested by the regional Education authorities to produce School Emergency Preparedness and Response Plans. In this phase WCARO will support the 4 COs with field based technical assistance.
The calendar of coaching and technical assistance has been already planned with the 4 country offices. There may be variations due to insecurity.
The consultants will accompany the CO focal point (EIE specialist) and a few identified master trainers and MOE key representative (regional) to 5 -10 schools per week to support the draft, finalization or implementation of school emergency preparedness and response plans.
WCARO EIE specialist, in close coordination with the IM specialist will map the progress against the 'school plans' indicator of the Children of Peace project, and plan the coaching missions accordingly.
The Phase 1 of the study was conducted in Chad. Between February and October 2017 WCARO plans to complete phase 1 and phase 2. The consultants are expected to facilitate this phase of the capacity building, and to coordinate the data collection and data entry (similar to needs assessment) in very small sample of schools (5).
The data needs to be clearly entered and roughly analysed to produce a preliminary analysis of finding. During the field mission these preliminary finding will be presented to relevant government counterparts and partners (i.e. Cluster).
The data will be transferred to a WCARO consultant (researcher) for manipulation of qualitative information and report writing.
The role of the consultant(s) in these missions is multifaceted:
