Location: Nairobi (With Frequent travel to Somalia), KENYA Application Deadline: 26-May-11 Type of Contract: FTA International Post Level: P-5

Languages Required: English

Starting Date: 01-Aug-2011 Duration of Initial Contract: One Year Expected Duration of Assignment: N/A

BackgroundBackgroundBackgroundBackground UNDP Somalia comprises three main clusters, namely, Rule of Law and Security (ROLS), Governance, and Recovery and Sustainable Livelihoods (RSL). The Somalia Constitution-Making Support Project (SCMSP) falls under the Governance cluster, and focuses on democratic governance with an overall objective to ensure that a new constitution for Somalia is prepared in a participatory manner, and that its

implementation lays a foundation for a legitimate Federal Somali State. Since 2004, UNDP in collaboration with a Consortium of international partners and the United Nations Political Office for Somalia (UNPOS) has provided technical support to the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) of Somalia on the drafting of a Federal Constitution. The original projected timeframe

in the Transitional Federal Charter (TFC) of the Somali Republic, 2004, is to federate Somalia and for the Independent Federal Constitution Commission (IFCC) to produce a draft Constitution two and a half years from taking its oath of office and be adopted by a popular referendum during the final year of the five-year transitional period. The TFC also stipulates that a new Constitution be ratified and a new government established by August 20, 2011. To date, the SCMSP supported the Independent Federal Constitution Commission (IFCC) to finalize a Consultation Draft Constitution and a Critical Issues Question Guide

based on extensive capacity building. Civic education initiatives are underway and should continue to scale up based on targeted consultative constitution-making process in which the public is informed and public views are heard and incorporated to the extent possible. In order to facilitate closer collaboration and improved coordination, UNDP and UNPOS have decided to

create a joint constitution unit, located in the UNPOS premises. Under the overall guidance of the DSRSG and the RR, and the direct supervision of the UNDP Governance Programme Manager and the UNPOS Head of Political Affairs, the Project Manager therefore supervises and leads a joint team of staff, experts, international and national consultants. The Project Manager ensures that all activities are implemented in close cooperation with other partners, including UN Agencies, INGOs, Government officials, multi-lateral and bi-lateral donors, private sector and civil society.

The Project Manager will be responsible for providing and coordinating policy advice, technical assistance and programme development support to the constitutional process, supported by strategic advisors and staff to support a draft that is context appropriate, realistic and Somali owned.

The incumbent will also be accountable for the achievement of project outputs and will coordinate discussions with government, civil society, non-governmental organizations, donors and other partners to the constitutional process, and will work closely with all stakeholders to mobilize donor support for the

project. The project is expected to continue through 2011 into the post-adoption, initial implementation phase. Duties and ResponsibilitiesDuties and ResponsibilitiesDuties and ResponsibilitiesDuties and Responsibilities

The company has launched a large-scale franchise-like network of ultra low-cost for-

profit private primary schools across Africa. Our schools profitably deliver high-quality education for less than $4 per child per month, enabling local school managers to operate their school businesses profitably, while creating a highly successful business at the central level. This ensures that the school is not dependent on the vagaries of donor funding, but will rather continue to serve the communities as long as parents value the educational service we provide. We have already launched the first 25 schools in

our network in the slums of Nairobi with tremendous success, and will open over 100 more in the next year. We plan to rapidly scale the company to serve more than 1 million families in Africa.

We have and are continuing to develop one of the most sophisticated operational approaches to providing affordable education to MILLIONS of children in one of the most challenging environments in the world! Our success relies on our “School in a Box”, a sophisticated set of custom developed systems,

tools and processes (think McDonalds or Starbucks) that are used by all School Managers, as well as by support teams at Headquarters to audit, monitor and support all of our schools.

than $4 per child per month. In the last twenty-four months, we have grown from 1 to 22 schools, 10 to over 200 employees, proven the model and built out the systems to pave the way for aggressive expansion. The company plans to build the world’s largest private school system and scale to serve more than 1 million families across Africa and beyond. About this positionAbout this positionAbout this positionAbout this position

We have and are continuing to develop one of the most sophisticated instructional approaches to providing affordable education to MILLIONS of children in one of the most challenging environments in the world! These systems, tools and approaches form our “School in a Box.” Our instructional system enables teachers from the local slum community who come to us with a

minimum of secondary school education and no teaching experience, to be extremely effective in the classroom. Teachers are overseen and managed by a school manager from the community implementing a specialized support and oversight system, monitored and audited by a field-based operations team from headquarters. The core instructional pieces of our “School in a Box” model include:

• A Direct Instruction or scripted curriculum (word for word, action-by-action scripts for every lesson in the classroom) based on the national syllabus, with an integrated continuous assessment program.

• An intensive teacher training program (both induction and ongoing teacher support systems in the field),

• An integrated tutoring program to ensure that students don’t fall behind

• An extended day/week schedule to allow for maximum “time on task” • an instructional compliance system managed by both school managers at the school as well as

headquarters-based school support officers, that include weekly instructional compliance reviews,

detailed classroom observation rubrics, multi-part instructional oversight and compliance checklists, random spot checks and guided review of assessment results and tutoring placement records, etc.

• Detailed and rigorous policies around everything from classroom management, instructional progression, attendance, discipline, etc

This system is complemented with extensive training, support, guidance and frequent auditing at multiple levels. We call this our “School in Box” model. Due to the standardization and systematizing, our overall operational approach is most similar to that of other well-run, large-scale chains of service businesses, such as those in retail and food services. The critical difference being that our service is world-class quality ultra-affordable primary education.

We are seeing a full-time Head of Instructional Systems Design and Monitoring who along with our existing Heads of Curriculum Development and Teacher Training will form a core part of the educational team at Bridge International. The Head of Instructional Systems Design and Monitoring will be responsible for

• Improving and developing the many instructional tools and processes that are necessary for

ensuring that our approach produces replicable, scalable, high quality education for millions of students. Some example of these tools include: o Classroom Observational Tools used by School Managers & Support Officers

o Detailed Weekly Instructional Monitoring Rubric and Checklist (our current one runs through almost 200 key areas)

o Assessment Recording tools used by teachers o Tutoring record keeping tools used by teachers

• The redesign of a number of the core instructional structures at the school. Some examples of these include:

o Academic schedule/calendar o Approach for effectively utilizing tutoring time and optional Saturday school o Exam reviews & administration o Homework grading procedures

• Undertaking structured and unstructured independent field observations and regular assessments

of the effectiveness of our instructional model and implementation. These observations and

assessments will be done both personally and through the building of a small team to regularly provide feedback on the instructional implementation.

• Being the direct interface between the School Operations teams who have direct responsibility

and oversight for the schools and the Education Teams for instructional issues that aren’t able to be handled by the normal school or support levels.

• Incorporating feedback and learnings from: o Instructional Design & Monitoring team’s regular visits, monitoring and assessments o Feedback from the school operations team o Input from the other Instructional teams

o Incorporation of data from our academic assessments o In order to continuously improve the instructional elements of our “school in a box”.

This is an IDEAL job for a systems-oriented superstar with 5+ years of educational expertise.

Bridge International Academies is a startup revolutionizing education across Africa with a truly unique business model and instructional program. The company has launched a large-scale, franchise-like network of ultra low-cost, for-profit private primary schools in Kenya, and will expand across Africa. Our schools profitably deliver high-quality education for less than $4 per child per month. Local school managers are able to operate their school businesses profitably, while creating a highly successful

business at the central level. This ensures that the school is not dependent on the vagaries of donor funding, but will rather continue to serve the communities as long as parents value the educational service we provide. To ensure the delivery of high quality education, Bridge International writes its own curriculum using Direct Instruction methodology. We also train and support our own teachers. With 22 schools operational, we are already the largest chain of private primary schools on the Continent,

FUNCTIONAL TITLE: Project Officer (Youth Research and Analysis) GRADE: P4 POST DURATION: 364 days from start date

CLOSING DATE: 2 June 2011 BACKGROUNBACKGROUNBACKGROUNBACKGROUNDDDD Since Habitat II, UN-Habitat has been committed to promoting the participation of young people as partners in implementing the Habitat Agenda and the achievement of the MDGs. At the 20th Governing Council in 2005, the Strategy for Enhanced Engagement with Youth was adopted and has provided a

framework for designing and implementing a Youth Empowerment Programme (YEP) through subsequent years. Through the support from the Government of Norway and the institutional commitment of UN-HABITAT, a number of member states have expressed interest and continued support for the youth program.

The issues facing urban youth globally have been virtually unknown and misunderstood until championed by UN-HABITAT. This has presented a significant challenge to UN-HABITAT and to the development of programmes globally. In spite of this, these programmes have advanced UN-HABITAT’s programmatic and normative goals through creation of pilot projects that have both improved the lives of thousands of poor urban youth, while at the same time being best practices that local and national governments have begun to adopt.

For example, the Opportunities Fund launched in 2008, has attracted interest from a number of UN agencies, international institutions and youth-focused programmes that wish to explore partnership relations with the fund. Stemming from this has been the establishment of a Global Youth Help Desk, an interactive portal that engages youth, youth-led agencies, researcher and policy makers in a dialogue on

youth in urban development. Parallel to this the Urban Youth Research Network has enabled consolidation in knowledge management and dissemination of urban youth issues. Building on the on the successes achieved thus far and taking into account the recommendations of the Urban Youth Programme external evaluation which identified the urgent need to expand staffing in the youth program, with a specific focus on managing and further developing the research program,

developing and managing a monitoring and evaluation activities, and supporting the implementation of the youth fund. Activities to be undertaken to achieve these goals are outlined in the following sections.

RESPONSIBILITIESRESPONSIBILITIESRESPONSIBILITIESRESPONSIBILITIES

Under the general supervision of the Chief, Partners and Youth Branch/Youth Programme, the incumbent is responsible for development and management of: Urban Youth Research The evaluation of UN-HABITAT’s youth empowerment program identifies the

need to expand the normative work of UN-HABITAT’s youth work. In order to do this there needs to be an expansion of capacity in staffing with relevant research so as to better enable the seamless transformation of experience from the operational work to the normative work. The specific capacities required are in the area of research and youth policy. A key component of UN-HABITAT’s youth research program is the engagement of its partners in the

academic and civil society sector through the Urban Youth Research Network (UYRN), and the dissemination of the knowledge generated there. The incumbent will be tasked with the management of the network, assuring it works effectively and efficiently and advances global knowledge on urban youth. The incumbent is also expected to bring in more south-based research institutions in the UYRN.

Another key component of the network is to assure that the normative work is based on current research to support urban youth. The incumbent will be required to support UN-HABITAT and the Norwegian government at key policy forums such as the proposed Youth 21 meeting in Oslo mandated by the recent Governing Council Resolution.

o Establish new research partnerships, majority from the South; Monitoring and Evaluation The recent evaluation of UN-HABITAT’s youth empowerment programme

suggests the need to expand the monitoring and evaluation capacity of the Youth Branch. In order to do this there needs to be increased capacity in staffing, with specific skills in research, monitoring and evaluation and with a background from youth-related research. This is especially important to assure the success of the Urban Youth Fund.
