Experience and qualifications

Job Vacancy – EDUCATION SPECIALIST

Location – Nairobi, Kenya

Salary – 80,000 – 90,000 KSH per month (depending on experience of the applicant), basic medical insurance

Answers to – Xavier Project Kenya Education Director

Position for nationals only

Profile

Xavier Project is an international NGO working Kenya and Uganda. We aim to provide opportunities to refugees living in urban areas in Kenya and Uganda who are otherwise excluded from the means to live a fulfilled and dignified existence so that they will be able to take back control of their lives and make a positive change whether to their new communities or to their country of origin. Xavier Project is primarily an education focused NGO, and while we have media and livelihoods programmes educational interventions make up the core of our activities within these programmes.

Xavier Project is registered as a local NGO in Uganda, an international NGO in Kenya and a company and charity in UK. All operations are in Kenya and Uganda, but a majority of funds are raised in UK. We have a three way partnership agreement between the branches of Xavier Project and one executive team primarily based in the Xavier Project headquarters in Nairobi. Xavier Project currently employs 25 permanent staff and has an annual income of $250,000 which has been increasing by 50% every year since its founding in 2008.

Background

Urban refugees in East Africa face unique challenges. Culturally, it is difficult to assimilate into their new communities as they can be victims of xenophobia and can struggle from language differences. They cannot easily find jobs in a saturated and often nepotistic job market. There are administrative barriers to economic sustainability such as the challenge of obtaining work permits, and the rejection of foreign qualifications from employers and institutions. At present many refugees in Nairobi or Kampala do not have access to quality, relevant education delivered in a safe environment and their opportunities in education lag behind those of their local counterparts. In both Kampala and Nairobi there are over 10,000 refugee children who are not in formal education, amounting to around 50% in Nairobi and 60% in Kampala. 80% of those in formal education are not happy with the quality of the education they are receiving.

Added to this, most urban refugees are hoping to be resettled in developed countries, yet they know very little about the resettlement process, and their chances of being resettled. Less that 5% of urban refugees are resettled in any given year. Many refugees believe that the more vulnerable they are, or appear to be, the more likely their chances are of being resettled.

The pursuit of resettlement combined with the unique challenges faced by refugees leads to a negative attitude by refugees towards integration into their new community. This has a corrosive impact on the whole community. However, there are positive opportunities for refugees to take up in Kampala and Nairobi, whether offered by the government, NGO agencies or refugee run grass-roots organisations. Given their chances of resettlement it makes sense for refugees to make the most of the opportunities available to them in their host countries, such as education, livelihoods and vocational prospects offered by agencies. What is more, a more positive attitude and better communication among the refugee population should lead to vital innovation from refugees themselves. Tamuka media programme is educating refugees on the opportunities available to them and enabling them to communicate with each other and the wider world. Among other ambitions, the education programme is enabling refugees to receive an education that is more relevant to their challenges and their ambitions. Meanwhile, our livelihoods programme is enabling refugees to access affordable loans and learn the business skills they need to grow their careers.

Job Description and Expectations

As Education Partner for UNHCR in urban areas, Xavier Project is expanding a school visitation programme to 40 primary schools with high refugee populations. The visitation programme will visit each school once per week for a month and engage in various activities. Xavier Project is looking for an education specialist who will run capacity building sessions with the teachers that will cover all areas related to refugees, and work with teachers to improve the quality of the education they deliver. The team will engage with the senior management of the schools to ensure that each school has a governance structure in place, encourage the involvement of parents in the supervision of school activities, train PTAs and school management committees (SMCs) on good school management, establish student school committees (ideally with refugee members) and encourage exchange visits of PTAs and SMCs between schools. The team will also engage the senior management on the safety of refugee children in their schools, and review the protection policies in place. Teachers will learn about the impact that the trauma of being a refugee has on the learning of the students. The visitation team will work in partnership with other agencies to ensure that resources are saved and collaboration is maximised. An Education-in-Emergencies framework in each school will be established. The same schools will receive material support where necessary to build the capacities of the institution.

The Education specialist will work closely with the Xavier Project Director Edmund Page who is a qualified teacher, and the Kenya Director of Education to develop good working practice. The education specialist will also be a member of the Xavier Project executive committee and in that capacity will be expected to offer advice and support to other areas of the Xavier Project beyond the Education Programme

CONTEXTE DE LA MISSION

La République Centrafricaine est enlisée depuis décembre 2012 dans une crise politico-militaire complexe à laquelle s’est ajoutée un conflit interreligieux entre chrétiens et musulmans. Cette crise s’est aggravée en décembre 2013, moment qu’ont choisi les Nations Unies pour déclencher une réponse de type L3 dans le pays.

Malgré l’arrivée au pouvoir de la Présidente de transition Catherine Samba-Panza en janvier 2014 et la nomination d’un nouveau gouvernement en août, composé de membres de l’ex-Séléka et des milices anti-Balaka, la situation reste tendue tant sur le plan sécuritaire qu’humanitaire. Actuellement, plus de 2,5 millions de personnes ont besoin d’assistance en RCA et parmi elles 508 000 personnes déplacées par les conflits récurrents.

De plus, la RCA connait actuellement un regain de violences notamment à Bangui et à Bambari où de nombreux affrontements entre forces armées internationales et groupes armés, entre groupes armés voire entre factions d’un même groupe armé se développent. Aujourd’hui, la crise que traverse le pays place les acteurs humanitaires face à des défis tels que la sécurité ou la logistique.

C’est à la lumière de ces événements qu’Handicap international, qui a eu un engagement fort dans le pays entre 1994 et 2004, sur des programmes de développement, souhaite aujourd’hui se positionner en RCA afin d’apporter son expertise en termes de logistique et de réponse aux besoins spécifiques des populations.
