Early Childhood Development Training Consultant

The Inter-Agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) is an open, global network of over 10,000 practitioners, students, teachers, and staff from UN agencies, non-governmental organizations, donors, governments and universities who work together within a humanitarian and development framework to ensure all persons the right to quality education and a safe learning environment. The INEE Minimum Standards for Education: Preparedness, Response, Recovery is the network’s foundation tool. They provide concrete guidance based on education rights and good practices to improve access to safe, relevant and quality education.
In 2014, as part of INEE’s strategic goal to support quality education programming in prevention, preparedness, response and development, INEE will develop a 90-minute training module on early childhood development (ECD) in emergencies. This training module will be added to the existing INEE- Education Cluster Education in Emergencies (EiE) Training Package, which currently consists of 18 modules. This module will be developed through a highly consultative, inter-agency collaborative process building on the content of leading ECD-related tools and resources. An inter-agency reference group will be set up to provide advice, guidance and feedback on the module. The reference group will include ECD specialists from the INEE Working Group on Minimum Standards, INEE Working Group on Education and Fragility, INEE ECD Task Team and the IASC Education Cluster’s Capacity Development Group and ECD Thematic Group.
The 90-minute module will consist of all necesary training materials including a PowerPoint presentation, facilitator guide, handouts, supplementary materials, etc. Once the module is developed it will be shared and promotioned through the INEE website, INEE Toolkit, INEE Bi-weekly bulletins, Education Cl uster webiste, Education Cluster Capacity Development Group, listservs of leading UN and NGO partners, social media and more.
