    Description

    UNICEF operates in challenging areas around the world to support underprivileged children, safeguard their lives, defend their rights, and help them realize their full potential.

    Working across 190 countries and territories, the organization strives daily to create a better world for all children, everywhere, without giving up in the face of obstacles.

    For each child, education is crucial.

    Progress has been notable due to robust collaborations with Bosnian and Herzegovinian authorities, such as the Communication Regulatory Agency of BIH and the Ministries of Communications and Civil Affairs of BIH. Noteworthy accomplishments include BIH becoming the first non-EU European country to join the global Giga initiative, which aims to connect every school to the Internet by 2030, a significant milestone.

    Efforts have been bolstered by incorporating BIH school locations on Giga's global map, facilitating the identification of vulnerable areas lacking proper infrastructure. This data-driven approach allows for targeted resource allocation where it is most needed.

    Substantial headway has been made in connecting isolated schools, exemplified by 76 satellite schools in Republika Srpska now having access to 4G Internet. This achievement was made possible through a partnership between a service provider and the local education authority, emphasizing the impact of public-private collaborations in bridging the digital gap to provide essential resources for quality education, even in the most remote regions.

    Following the Call for Action agreed upon during the Western Balkans Digital Summit 2023, UNICEF in BIH and Giga are extending technical support to the BIH government to fulfill the agreed actions and ensure the provision of secure, affordable, top-notch internet access to all primary, secondary, central, and satellite schools in BIH.

    How can you contribute to this cause?

    This consultancy role, associated with the Ministry of Civil Affairs, plays a crucial part in integrating Giga in BIH, collaborating with various stakeholders, including government bodies, UNICEF, private sector partners, and educational institutions, to ensure seamless coordination and implementation of Giga activities as outlined in the work plan.

    Key responsibilities of the consultant include:

    Regular communication and information sharing

    • Coordinate inputs from relevant entities and participate in weekly team meetings
    • Consult with key stakeholders on implementation plans
    • Provide updates on education sector developments
    • Share information on partnership and funding opportunities
    • Prepare communication materials for media updates

    Real-time monitoring

    • Pilot Giga's real-time monitoring system in schools
    • Monitor school connectivity data and address issues promptly
    • Implement monitoring launch plans and support schools technically
    • Enhance the system for better connectivity outcomes
    • Prepare and distribute monitoring reports periodically

    Advisory body (AB) for Digital Transformation in Education

    • Develop Terms of Reference for the AB
    • Communicate updates with stakeholders and support ICT standards revisions
    • Facilitate AB meetings and track progress on agreed actions

    Advocacy and promotion activities

    • Assist in advocacy efforts for improved school connectivity
    • Support in securing favorable connectivity deals for schools
    • Foster public-private partnerships for school connectivity
    • Prepare communication materials for media updates

    Requirements to be a successful candidate:

    • Minimum BA degree in IT or related field
    • 3-5 years of project management experience
    • Good knowledge of BIH education landscape and internet connectivity
    • Fluency in English and BCS (Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian)
    • Strong ICT skills and proficiency in relevant software
    • Excellent analytical and digital skills
    • Strong interpersonal and communication abilities
    • Effective facilitation skills and ability to work autonomously
    • Strong attention to detail and organizational competence

    To embody UNICEF's core values:

    The values of Care, Respect, Integrity, Trust, Accountability, and Sustainability (CRITAS) are essential.

    UNICEF is dedicated to inclusivity and diversity, welcoming individuals of all backgrounds. Reasonable accommodations are available for consultants with disabilities during and after the selection process.

    UNICEF maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards behaviors incongruent with the United Nations and UNICEF's goals, ensuring a safe and respectful environment for all individuals.

    Note:

    Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for further stages of the selection process.

    Consultants/individual contractors are not considered staff members and are governed by specific contractual conditions. Compliance with tax obligations, visa requirements, and health protocols is the responsibility of the selected candidate.
