Inter-Agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) Deputy Coordinator

Listed on 04/26/2012

Organization: INEE

Details:

The Deputy Coordinator will be a member of the INEE Secretariat, working with other members of the Secretariat – based in New York, Geneva and Paris – as needed and under the overall direction of the INEE Director based in New York. The Deputy Coordinator will work closely with and be directly supervised by the Coordinator, based in Nairobi. The work of the Pan-African Knowledge Hub is a development-policy task within the scope of the BACKUP Education being assisted by the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany. All tasks of the Pan-African Knowledge Hub will be agreed upon with the manager of the BACKUP Education at GIZ.

The position is to begin immediately and to last through the end of the current project term of end of July 2013 with the possibility of an extension from that point.
Background:

The Inter-Agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) is a 10-year-old network dedicated to ensuring that all people have access to safe, quality, relevant education in times of crisis and conflict.

INEE is currently seeking a Deputy Coordinator to be based in Nairobi, Kenya, to contribute to the effective functioning of the INEE-GIZ Pan-African Knowledge Hub by providing knowledge management and other program support. The Pan-African Knowledge Hub is part of the “German BACKUP Initiative -- Education in Africa” (BACKUP Education) of GIZ, assisted by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and is implemented by INEE. The Knowledge Hub is based out of Nairobi and Africa-wide in scope.

The goal of the Knowledge Hub is to support South-South learning and exchange that facilitates improved access to and utilization of international funding mechanisms for education (such as the Global Partnership for Education). To achieve this goal, the Knowledge Hub serves as a platform for sharing knowledge and experience on funding, planning and managing education among African countries. Through its facilitative activities, the Knowledge Hub hopes to better equip African colleagues to manage the processes that accessing or utilizing these mechanisms require (e.g. developing or implementing an education sector plan).
