A number of countries in Eastern Europe, including Armenia, Georgia and Ukraine have undergone intensive political, economic, and social transformations over the past decade, opening up to socioeconomic growth and new opportunities particularly for young people. The economic crisis in Eastern Europe and the conflict in Ukraine, for example, have negatively affected growth rates and youth economic participation in the region. The pace and nature of change has also left adolescents (ages 10-19) and youth (ages 15-24) highly vulnerable to poverty; unemployment, gender inequality, health issues, including those related to sexual and reproductive health; and lack of political and public representation^[1]. The rates of youth poverty in the target countries - Armenia, Georgia and Ukraine- are still alarmingly high with little progress made. Youth unemployment rate is 21%^[2] in Ukraine while the rate among unemployed IDP youth is 42%^[3](with 68% being women^[4]). Armenia and Georgia have higher youth unemployment rates than the EU average – 37.2% and 30.8% respectively^[5]. While some of these countries have put forward youth policy strategies, youth face multiple inter-related barriers that need to be addressed with holistic and multi-stakeholder approaches, especially when facing high rates of unemployment and low access to relevant skills training.

In order to address this issue, Save the Children and local partners proposed an integrated approach through a partnership in Armenia, Georgia and Ukraine where the number of Not in Education, Employment, or Training (NEET) youth are higher, especially among disadvantaged groups of IDPs, refugee youth and youth with disabilities. The proposed action is also closely linked to the global Save the Children’s common approach of Adolescent Skills for Successful Transitions to advance the inclusion and participation of youth as economic actors. This integrated approach builds on on-going country efforts to improve national education, employment and youth development strategies, which invariably identify human capital as a key asset, and includes comprehensive efforts to boost formal and non-formal education for greater quality workforce and youth employability.

The Project is designed to tackle youth employability issues from multiple angles. More specifically, the Project will address the gaps in formal and non-formal education as those pertain to a specific skill set. Thereby addressing current inconsistencies between demand and supply sides of the labour market in the target countries. It also offers to expand the space for informed and measured entrepreneurship for young men and women with special focus on those disadvantaged. With these platforms improved the Project intends to accelerate advocacy efforts of the parties involved to mainstream consideration of youth issues across all relevant line ministries. Special advocacy efforts are planned to ensure Gender-sensitive youth issues are reflected in the agendas of line ministries and/or employment services

The project is implemented in cooperation with the partner organizations in all three countries. OxYGen Foundation for Protection of Youth and Women Rights is partnering in Armenia, Children and Youth Development Fund (CYDF) in Georgia and Slavic Heart in Ukraine. The exact activities implemented by the partner organizations will be discussed in more details in other Sections of the current ToR.

1.       Background

Save the Children International (SCI), is the world’s leading independent organization for children. It works in over 120 countries around the world. Our Vision is to have a world in which every child attains the right to survival, protection, development and participation. Our Mission is to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children, and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives.

Save the Children, in collaboration with Ministry of Education Science and Technology through the Department of Special Needs Education, is implementing an Inclusive Education (IE) in Malawi Project. Inclusive Education is a process of restructuring the education system, cultures, policies, and practices to address and respond to diverse needs of all learners (UNESCO, 2001). It emphasizes that every child irrespective of their characteristics is supported to meaningfully participate and learn alongside his or her peers in a conducive learning environment and develop to his or her full potential. Successful IE therefore ensures joint as well as participatory learning by all types of learners within an inclusive educational system, taking into account, disadvantaged groups that are, still either excluded from education or are not given necessary support in the existing system.

The IE project targets all children in and out of school with a special focus on the marginalized girls, children with disabilities, and children coming from ultra-poor households. The project’s total budget is NOK 40,000,000 (approximately 5.1 Million United States Dollars) and funded by the Royal Norwegian Embassy (RNE) through Save the Children Norway (SCN). The project started in August 2015 is expected to end in December 2018. The project is being implemented in three districts of Mangochi, Lilongwe Urban and Mzimba South. The main goal of the project is to have deprived children learn and develop in a safe and inclusive education system.

The project aims to achieve the following strategic outcomes;

1.  Demand and support for IE in the targeted communities increased.
2.  Government systems strengthened to support Inclusive Education.
3.  Teacher Education Development and Support for IE Improved.
4.  School-level systems and structures in support of inclusive learning environments in schools strengthened.
5.  Learning generated through Action Research to inform policy and practice in inclusive education.
6.  Data management systems for Inclusive Education improved.

The IE project in Malawi is being implemented by, a consortium of three local organizations comprising two faith-based organizations, namely; CCAP Synod of Livingstonia and Blantyre Synod of the Church of Central African Presbyterian (CCAP) and the Federation of Disabled Peoples Organization in Malawi (FEDOMA). CCAP Synod of Livingstonia is responsible for implementation of project activities in Mzimba South while CCAP Blantyre Synod is responsible for implementation of activities in Mangochi district. FEDOMA leads implementation of project activities in Lilongwe Urban. The project also actively works with Teacher Training Colleges (TTCs) - namely Montfort SNE College, Machinga TTC and Lilongwe TTC to improve and integrate Inclusive Education in the pre-service teacher training. 

Key activities of the project include; sensitization and awareness initiatives at various levels (i.e. national, district and community levels), capacity building of implementing partners and key project stakeholders at national, district and community levels, to enhance their understanding of inclusive education concept, its importance and how it can be implemented, contribute towards strengthening of  government systems and lobbying for government’s support towards implementation of inclusive education,  generating new knowledge and evidence to support implementation of Inclusive Education in Malawi; and establishing a robust case management system to facilitate identification and inclusion of otherwise excluded learners in schools.

The project is also supporting children coming from ultra-poor households with basic needs package to enable them learn in school. The basic needs package comprises of the following items for every child: 1 school bag, bathing soap (2 tablets), washing soap (2 big bars of sunshine), 10 notebooks (for standards 3-8) and 5 notebooks for children in standards 1 and 2, 3 pens for children in standards 3 to 8, and 1 pen and 2 pencils for children in standards 1and 2.Having implemented the project to its final year, it is necessary to conduct an End-line Evaluation in order to assess the impact of the project at community, district and national levels.  Save the Children therefore wishes to engage an external consultant to conduct an End-line Evaluation. Information generated from the evaluation will be used to document impact, lessons learnt, and recommendations for future programming of the IE interventions.
