Purpose of Assignment
Background

The Basic Education programme is being implemented in partnership with the Federal Ministry of Education, Universal Basic Education Commission at the national level and with the state ministries of education and State Universal Basic Education Board of target states and other implementing partners.
The education programme has a strong focus on strengthening monitoring and evaluation (M&E), especially building capacity of government to generate timely and reliable data required for equity based planning and tracking of progress. The M&E data collection processes UNICEF is aiming to strengthen include annual school census, school based management committee effectiveness monitoring and tracking out of school children in targeted communities, through a process called community mapping and listing of out of school children.
The UNICEF M&E approach relies on the government systems primarily to ensure capacity building of government officials for sustainability. In addition, a quality assurance process has been built into the M&E systems to validate quality and reliability of monitoring data generated through government system. The quality assurance processes use the same tools and approach but undertaken by independent enumerators directly managed by UNICEF.
This consultancy is required to analyse three sets of monitoring data collected with UNICEF financial assistance so that the information can be used for assessing/reporting progress as well as fed back to partners to improve programming. The community mapping data for instance enables the measurement of change in the number of out-of-school children in target areas and support evidence based planning to reduce the number of out of school children in in communities with high number of out of school children.
