Africa Educational Trust’s (AET) mission is to develop education programs for people who are excluded from educational opportunities due to conflict, poverty, or discrimination. AET works in Somalia, South Sudan, Uganda, and Kenya to find innovative ways to provide quality formal and non-formal education for disadvantaged children and young people, including girls, pastoralists, street children, and remote, rural communities.

AET is seeking to recruit a trainer to train teachers and headteachers on school-related gender-based violence(SGBV), child protection(CP), and disaster management in the Jubaland State of Somalia

PROJECT BACKGROUND

ADRA Somalia has sub-contracted Africa Educational Trust (AET) to implement selected activities under the Education Cannot Wait Multi-Year Resilience Program (ECW MYRP) in Jubaland and Galmudug states of Federal Republic of Somalia. The project, dubbed Support for Emergency Education in Jubaland and Galmudug(SEE-JG) , will focus on Outcome 1: Increasing equitable access to quality primary and ABE education for emergency-affected children, Outcome 2: Improving learning skills for crisis-affected children, and Outcome 3: Gender equity and equality are increased.

AET will collaborate with schools, CECs, MoECHE, and State Ministries of Education, REOs, and host communities to target primary age children and out of school youth, especially IDPs and returnee communities promoting equitable educational opportunities for girls and inclusion for children with disabilities. Through engagement with communities, SEE-JG will raise awareness of the importance of education engendering a positive context for community support for children to enter education. SEE-JG project will increase access to Primary Education and ABE through the rehabilitation of existing learning spaces. Teachers and headteachers will be trained in contextually relevant pedagogy, including gender equity and inclusive approaches, improving the quality of teaching and learning outcomes for primary students as well as training in ABE for out of school youth.
