  • Consultant – Pastoral Youth Education Initiative – PYEI

    Consultant – Pastoral Youth Education Initiative – PYEI

    PROJECT SUMMARY
    The Pastoralist Youth Education Initiative (PYEI) forms the second phase of Adeso’s approach to enhance economic and social opportunities of marginalized pastoral children in Marsabit, Kenya through improved access to quality education. Taking a holistic approach, the PYEI is seeking to develop proof of concept, determine a viable and successful framework and improve MEL framework.
    BACKGROUND FOR CONSULTANCY
    Adeso launched the Mobile Non-Formal Education (MNFE) project to enhance access to quality education for 300 nomadic children aged 13 to 18 years (180 girls and 120 boys) in Marsabit County in Northern Kenya, who are not enrolled in any formal schooling.
    This initiative was a pilot program designed to explore alternative learning opportunities for non-traditional students especially targeting pastoral children and young girls. This initiative is being funded by Wellspring Advisors and there is the expectation that the consultant will both contribute and engage in the donor’s growing community of practice in this area of work.
    The PYEI framework will directly contribute to the four strategic educational priorities for Marsabit County i.e. nomadic education and enhancement of access, retention and equity in education services. Building on the lessons learnt (see impact section) the second phase of PYEI will focus on:
    · Improving education quality in the NFE centers
    · Providing pathways to funding sources for post primary education (secondary and vocational education)
    · Researching and putting in place strategies to aid transition, retention and improvement of learning outcomes for pastoralist children in secondary education.
    · Providing appropriate vocational skills.
    METHODOLOGY
    The consultant will have the final decision regarding the overall methodology. In this regard, the consultant shall provide Adeso with an inception report, containing an overview of their understanding of the assignment, time schedule, planned activities, suggested methods as well as preliminary results to be reviewed and approved by Adeso PYEI Project Team.
    The consultant will provide an analysis and discussion of facts and data within the assignment context. The literature will include among others: project documents and other existing literature and will be collected in advance and reviewed to get a better understanding of the PYEI Project and to sharpen the program design.
    Some of the documents considered mandatory for this review will include information County government and policy makers on non-formal education in the region, information from community key leaders and the general public, other agencies in the region and the administration. The project target areas have been clustered geographically into sub-counties which the consultant is expected to observe.
    With the facilitation of Project staff and Adeso Program Development Team, the consultant will develop a participatory work plan-framework where the main project stakeholders will be involved to give their input and views in the process. The overall process should ensure that crosscutting issues particularly gender, governance, environment and accountability to the extent possible are captured. Tools developed will be pre-tested to ensure those utilizing them and the targeted population alike have the same understanding of the main objective, and revised based on identified shortcomings. This also includes translation of the study tools into local language where necessary.
    SCOPE OF WORK
    Through the PYEI project is expected to build on the lessons learned from the MNFE project by innovating and adapting approaches to develop a sound proof of concept and determine a framework for our non-formal education approaches for pastoral communities. Therefore, consultant is expected to review the design of the MNFE & current PYEI to develop a proof of concept by exploring, identifying, adopting and integrating learning approaches in view of designing a high quality, innovative project for the next phase. The consultant is also expected to develop an M&E framework for the project.
    The consultant shall develop a field visit plan to be approved by the Head of Programs and the PYEI Project Team. The consultant will be required to visit the project areas and undertake real time process/intervention assessment that will help provide the project teams with implementation reviews with the aim of improving project implementation (improved programming).
    The consultant will be responsible for writing and presenting the overall report working closely with PYEI Project and Adeso PDQU Team. The report will document findings and provide a benchmark for measuring outcomes of project interventions.
