Disability rights Gender training Sexual & reproductive rights (SRHR) HealthBackground
UNESCO seeks a consultant to conduct a Regional Training of Trainers (ToT) on CSE for learners with disabilities, to equipe educators, teacher trainers, and education stakeholders with knowledge and skills to provide disability-inclusive CSE.
Young people with disabilities have the same sexual and reproductive health needs and rights (SRHR) as their peers without disabilities. Recent research also shows that they are more vulnerable to negative SRHR outcomes such as infection with HIV/STIs, unintended pregnancies and gender or intimate partner violence. Despite these needs and vulnerabilities many young people face disability specific barriers when trying to access sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services and lack access to appropriate information about their SRHR. These include disability-specific barriers such as a lack of trained educators and accessible learning materials, limited access to SRH information and services tailored to their needs, and negative societal attitudes towards disability, sexuality, and CSE.
Objectives of the ConsultancyThe overall objective of this consultancy is to strengthen the capacity of teachers to effectively deliver CSE to learners with disabilities by conducting a Regional Training of Trainers (ToT) workshop and supporting the cascading of the training to teachers at country level. The specific objectives include:
- Plan and develop training materials needed for the TOT workshop.
- Facilitate a Regional ToT workshop for about 48 teacher educators from 12 ESA countries (about 4 per country).
- Develop practical tools, guidelines, and implementation strategies to be used in national-level training of teachers.
- Provide virtual support and mentorship to trainers as they cascade training to teachers in-country.
Scope of WorkThe consultant will be responsible for the following tasks:- Develop a training module and necessary training materials informed by the UNESCO CSE teacher training module.
- Conduct a 5-day training session for teacher educators/trainers.
Provide training resources to enable participants to train teachers in their respective countries.

Generic (e.g. 'gender focal point' role Gender equality and Social inclusion (GESI)The OECD Development Centre is a special body of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation of Development (OECD) linking OECD members with developing and emerging economies. The OECD Development Centre produces high-quality analysis and fosters dialogue to identify creative policy solutions to emerging global issues and development challenges.
The Gender team of the OECD Development Centre, based in Paris, is seeking an enthusiastic and motivated trainee. The trainee will assist the team on its flagship programme, the Social Institutions and Gender Index (SIGI). The SIGI is a cross-country measure of formal and informal laws, social norms and practices that restrict women and girls’ empowerment opportunities. Since its first edition in 2009, the SIGI has been updated in 2012, 2014, 2019 and most recently in 2023. Beyond data collection and analysis at the global level, the gender team produces regional reports and conducts SIGI country studies (most recently in Tanzania and Côte d’Ivoire). In 2025, the Gender Team will produce SIGI country profiles for all African countries and organise a series of policy dialogues on the gender and climate nexus across different African regions. In 2021, the OECD Development Centre expanded its work on gender equality by developing a framework that helps measuring norms of masculinities. Currently, the Gender team is working on a project in Côte d’Ivoire and Senegal that aims to apply this framework by collecting data on norms of masculinities and analysing the impact of these on women's economic empowerment and violence against women.
Main responsibilities
• Contribute to the implementation of the project on masculinities, notably through contributions to the research design, data cleaning, analysis and visualisations using statistical software (Stata/R and Excel) of gender-related data.
• Support the drafting of SIGI country profiles for Africa, through qualitative data analysis and research on legal frameworks.
• Support the organisation of events, dialogues and workshops, including the production of background documents, production of communication content, drafting of invitations and compilation of list of invitees.
• Assist in the preparation of public presentations, reports, background documents, internal notes and other external communication material.
Ideal candidate profile
• Currently enrolled in post-graduate studies in development economics, econometrics, gender, or related fields.
• Demonstrated interest and good understanding of development issues and the current debates on gender equality, development economics and social issues.
• Strong data analysis skills and a proven ability to carry out quantitative analysis. Experience in qualitative data analysis would be a plus.
• Proficiency in the use of statistical software applications (Stata and Excel). Proficiency in the use of R, including for data visualisation, would be an asset.
• Excellent writing skills with attention to detail and accuracy.
• Fluency in English or French with a commitment to reaching a good working level in the other language. Fluency in both languages would be an asset; a minimum B2 level in French is required.
• Ability to maintain a strong commitment to continuous professional development and effective teamwork.*When clicking on “Apply”, you will be redirected to the original job announcement and details
