UNESCO Core Values: Commitment to the Organization, Integrity, Respect for Diversity, Professionalism

ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT

In 2023, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) signed the UN2UN Agreement. The purpose of the agreement is to support the implementation of the formal education component of the ‘Facility for Action for Climate Empowerment to achieve the National Determined Contribution’ (FACE NDC)’ project which aims to empower all members of Zambian society towards achieving Zambia’s NDCs in across key sectors such as forestry, agriculture and energy. The FACE-NDC project is being implemented in partnership with 5 Consortium Members namely; FAO (lead partner), UNESCO, the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR); University of Zambia (UNZA) and Copperbelt University (CBU), drawing on the expertise and comparative advantages of each consortium partner.  FACE-NDC is a seven-year project (2023–2030) and supports implementation of the National Climate Change Learning Strategy (NCCLS, 2019) by strengthening individual and institutional capacities.
In addition to the FACE-NDC Project, Zambia is also benefiting from UNESCO’s Capacity Development for Education (CapED) Programme since 2016. The CapED Programme is an extra-budgetary funding mechanism and programme approach created in 2003. With an overarching capacity development approach, the Programme seeks to improve the quality of education and increase learning opportunities, especially for girls and women and disadvantaged population groups. Through the CapED Programme in Zambia, UNESCO aims to help the country 1). develop and implement robust teacher standards, frameworks and policies that provide a clear guidance to attract, develop and retain quality teachers for improved education service delivery through a shared vision of professional teaching competencies and career prospect; 2). build the capacities of colleges of education to deliver quality teacher training programmes that are gender-responsive, inclusive and relevant to better equip teacher educators and teachers.

UNESCO will organically combine the two wheels and help the Ministry of Education mainstream climate change education (CCE), education for sustainable development (ESD), gender-responsive pedagogy (GRP) in the curriculum and syllabus and develop relevant training materials in the framework of a comprehensive teacher policy. A blended approach will be used to enhance the skills and capacities needed to support the green transition.
 
Under the overall authority of the UNESCO Director of the Regional Office for Southern Africa (ROSA) and the direct supervision of the Education Head of Unit, the Project  Assistant will support and work closely with UNESCO’s National Project Officer for Education based in Lusaka, who is also the main coordination of the CapED Zambia. On a day-to-day operational basis therefore, the Project  Assistant will support and report to the National Project Officer based on Lusaka. Specifically, the Project  Assistant will be responsible for providing programme and administrative support to the “Facility for Action for Climate Empowerment to achieve the National Determined Contributions (FACE-NDC) project” as well as the CapED Programme in Zambia.
