Job Description
SUMMARY OF JOB DUTIES
The O3 Programme seeks to address the key challenges faced by countries in sub-Saharan Africa and promotes a sub-Saharan Africa where positive health, education and gender equality outcomes are a reality for adolescents. UNESCO, through the O3 Programme, will collaborate with various countries in sub-Saharan Africa, including Côte d’Ivoire, to expand and consolidate access for young people and adolescents to CSE and SRH services and to healthy, safe and inclusive learning environments. The O3 Programme thus aims to:
1. Obtain and maintain strong political commitment for access for adolescents and young people to CSE and SRH services throughout sub-Saharan Africa;
2. Support the establishment of good quality and rights-based CSE programmes;
3. Promote safe, healthy and inclusive schools and community environments for all young people;
4. Strengthen the database on CSE and safe school environments.
Implemented by the UNESCO Abidjan Office since 2018, the O3 program contributes to improving Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) and responses to School-Related Gender-Based Violence (SRGBV) in Côte d’Ivoire. To this end, numerous activities are carried out with Ivorian institutions, teachers, educational supervisors, and communities, in order to achieve the objectives of the O3 program in Côte d’Ivoire. In addition, sister agencies responsible for the same theme in terms of their mission carry out certain activities together, as well as civil society. A CSE program document has been developed since 2016; in addition, a multisectoral approach to the implementation of CSE/ESVS is being developed. This is why this activity aims to develop a National ESVS Strategy, with a view to better organizing actions to promote this process for the health and well-being of young people and its sustainability in Côte d’Ivoire.
