Organizational
Setting and Work Relationships The Education Associate will support the
roll-out of Refugee Education 2030, the Refugee Education Strategy, in
line with the Global Compact on Refugees (GCR), which calls on States
and relevant Stakeholders to contribute resources and expertise to
expand and enhance the quality and inclusiveness of national education
systems to facilitate access by refugee and host community children and
youth to primary, secondary and tertiary education. Providing inclusive
and equitable quality education is central to the achievement of the
2030 Agenda’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and the incumbent will
assist the supervisor in ensuring UNHCR’s programming is in line with
the SDGs.

Leveraging the growing global momentum, UNHCR is
working to translate the objectives of the GCR into impactful results,
including through follow-up on pledges made through the 2019 Global
Refugee Forum. Contributing to this global roll-out of the GCR, the
Education Associate, in collaboration with the Education Section in the
Division of Resilience and Solutions (DRS), will assist the supervisor

also works in collaboration with in-country education partners to
improve access to, and quality of, refugee education at all levels, both
formal and non-formal, and may liaise with partners for joint support
for education access for refugee and host community children. The
Education Associate supports the implementation of education approaches
for emerging needs in refugee education, including attention to special
needs, minorities, girls, pre-school education, and non-formal
activities. The incumbent supports inter-sectoral linkages with child
protection, GBV, gender, community services, livelihoods and health,
