Assignment Title: CONSULTANT TO DEVELOP A FACILITATOR’S MANUAL TO BE USED IN EXTRA-CURRICULAR BOYS AND GIRLS’ CLUBS IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS

Reference No. SZ-MOET-443843-CS-INDV

BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT

The Ministry of Education & Training MOET has entered into a loan agreement with the World Bank towards the cost of Strengthening Basic Education Support to Human Capital Development in Eswatini, Project: P173151 and intends to apply part of the proceeds for consulting services.

BACKGROUND OF THE ASSIGNMENT

The Consultancy will support effective implementation of the retention in Junior Secondary Education by strengthening and scaling-up programs that provide support services for adolescent boys and girls to stay in school. The main aim is to mitigate the drivers of school drop out for Adolescent Boys and Girls through equipping them with a wide range of psychosocial skills and relevant knowledge (e.g., communication, assertiveness, self-awareness, information on nutrition, sexual and reproductive health, menstrual health management, and substance abuse related issues) in order to empower them to effectively manage day-to-day life challenges, make informed decisions and successfully transition into adulthood. Through this intervention, the project will tackle issues such as adolescent pregnancy, substance abuse, and other risky behaviours, that are critical factors leading to dropout in Eswatini and have lasting adverse impacts into adulthood. Focus will also be given to raising adolescents’ awareness about gender-based violence (GBV) and Sexual Exploitation and Harassment (SEAH) issues and give them information on how to access referral services and programs.
