Education Project Manager - Haiti
Details:
Duty station: Port-au-Prince
Start date: As soon as possible
Level: P3
Duration: 6 months renewable
The Haitian education system was severely damaged by the 12 January earthquake. Assessments are still ongoing, but it is believed that at least half of the nation's 15,000 primary and 1,500 secondary schools have been either destroyed or badly damaged. Port-au-Prince's 3 universities were almost totally destroyed. The Ministry of Education has very limited operational capacity, and many government officials working in the education sector were killed in the event. The building of the Ministère de l'Education Nationale et de la Formation Professionnelle (MENFP) is in ruins.
UNESCO has been directly involved in the immediate response to the earthquake, and submitted substantive projects in the original and revised Flash Appeals. UNESCO's current education project in the Haiti CAP totals USD 2.9 million. Its main focus is on three strategic areas:
- Reactivation of emergency schooling and TVET/skills development for youth affected by the earthquake
- Emergency support to national education authorities
- Psychosocial support through teacher training
UNESCO is working closely with the Haitian education authorities and other partners in the Education Cluster to support the immediate re-establishment of education services. Capacity development, psychosocial support and early recovery are among the priorities of the Ministry of Education as well as the Education Cluster.
Since many emergency response operations in the education sector tend to focus on young children and primary schools, UNESCO is putting an emphasis on the needs of secondary, TVET and higher education, in order to complement the activities of other partners. Support to national education authorities and capacity development is also a priority for UNESCO. Not only are these areas stated priorities of MENFP, but addressing them is also crucial to the long-term success of efforts to build back an education system better than the one that existed before the earthquake.
While UNESCO's Education sector has fielded a number of missions to Haiti since the earthquake assessing needs and representing the Organization in the Cluster, the situation in-country and the requests of the national authorities require more long-term personnel. Short-term expert missions from headquarters, institutes, and regional and other field offices will continue to be an important resource. What is needed is the continuity and credibility required to successfully implement UNESCO's planned activities. UNESCO Port-au-Prince Office is therefore seeking an Education Project Manager to manage the implementation of UNESCO's post-earthquake projects under the Haiti CAP 2010.
Under the overall supervision of the Head of Office and the direct supervision of the Senior Education Specialist, the Education Project Manager will manage the effective development, implementation and monitoring of UNESCO's post-earthquake education project in Haiti: "Emergency education support to secondary and higher education and education authorities". Specifically, the incumbent will:
- Assume responsibility of the consolidated education project submitted in the Flash Appeal
- Oversee the development of detailed work plans and budgets for all activities for the project
- Ensure close collaboration and liaison with the larger programme team in Port-au-Prince; UNESCO Headquarters and its Education Sector in particular; and other relevant institutes and field offices engaged in UNESCO's Earthquake Programme in Haiti
- Ensure the effective implementation of activities under the project, including the coordination and effective expenditure of various financial contributions to the project;
- Support the identification, recruitment and supervision of international and national experts, project officers and personnel involved in the design and implementation of activities;
- In close liaison with the Head of Office and the Administrative Officer, negotiate and oversee contracts with and activities of implementing partners;
- Coordinate activities with national authorities and counterparts;
- Manage periodic project assessments and financial reporting, interim and final project reviews and reports, and possible handover(s) to national counterparts;
- Undertake missions to oversee onsite implementation of the projects, and report on the progress as well as any deviations and lapses;
- Provide regular progress reports to the Senior Education Specialist and Head of Office as required;
- Participate in relevant meetings of the Education Cluster, the Groupe Sectorielle d'Education and other UN, and Government of Haiti meetings and activities, as required and/or assigned by the Senior Education Specialist and/or the Director of the Office;
- Pursue educational recovery in alignment with the INEE Minimum Standards for Education in Emergencies, Chronic Crises and Early Reconstruction;
- Assist UNESCO Port-au-Prince's other Education Sector activities as assigned by the Senior Education Specialist and/or the Director of the Office.
Requirements:
- Advanced University degree in education or related field (Master's degree or above)
- At least five years of experience in overseeing and implementing projects in the education sector in PCPD situations
- Excellent command of English and French, both spoken and written
- Sound understanding of the key issues and challenges facing the education sector in PCPD situations;
- Experience in project management, budget control and evaluation;
- Good organizational skills and excellent time management;
- Ability to meet deadlines and willingness to take additional responsibilities;
- Flexibility and ability to work under pressure in a charged, fast-paced environment;
- Good computer and IT skills and experience in the usage of office software packages;
- High level of interpersonal, diplomatic and communication skills necessary to negotiate the delicate interactions in the Haitian post-earthquake environment;
- Ability to prepare reports in English and French;
- Team spirit and ability to work in a multi-cultural team environment and be an effective team player;
- Sound judgment and analytical skills;
- Willingness and ability to undertake missions to the field away from duty station.
