Disaster Risk Reduction & Education Technical Advisor - ASEAN School Safety Initiative (ASSI) | ReliefWeb Skip to main content Labs Blog Mobile Twitter Facebook YouTube Google plus RSS About Us Help LoginRegister HomeUpdatesCountriesDisastersTopicsOrganizationsJobsTraining Print01 Oct 2014Disaster Risk Reduction & Education Technical Advisor - ASEAN School Safety Initiative (ASSI)Job—Closing date: 20 Oct 2014

About the Programme

Save the Children is an independent child rights development organisation, and is a member of an international non-government organisation (INGO) consortium called the ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response (AADMER) Partnership Group (APG), led by Oxfam GB, comprising of Save the Children, Plan International, World Vision, Child Fund, Help Age, and Mercy Malaysia. This consortium has developed a work plan that aims to strengthen ASEAN in implementing AADMER. The implementation of the Safe School activities and the integration of disaster risk reduction (DRR) in Education have been identified as two sub-components of the AADMER Work Programs for 2010-2015. This has resulted in the current ASEAN School Safety Initiative (ASSI).

Plan International has been designated by the APG to lead the ASEAN Safe School Initiative (ASSI), which has been endorsed and approved by ASEAN. Implementing partners are Plan International, Save the Children, World Vision, and Mercy Malaysia. In addition, relationships regionally through the Asia Pacific Coalition for School Safety ensure engagement with other school-safety stakeholders in the region, including IFRC, UNESCO, UNICEF, UNISDR and others.

The specific objectives of ASSI are to: 1) increase funding, tools, local expertise and guidance for the Safe Schools Initiatives in the ASEAN region; and 2) improve capacities at national level through inter-agency collaboration and the use of the Comprehensive School Safety Framework.

The ASSI project will benefit from the combined extensive experience of APG members in DRR and education and wider humanitarian work in the targeted countries and at regional level. This includes their existing presence and influence in shaping the delivery and strengthening the capacity of national policies and institutions with regards to school safety. The capacity to secure greater coordination and capitalise on each agency's work in this area will ensure wider impact and outreach for the project's interventions. Both Plan and Save the Children and other ASSI partners' engagement in the APG will ensure project outputs and learning are shared at the ACPF regional coordination mechanisms.

Save the Children engages with national and sub-national authorities to support their education sector development goals and applying the Comprehensive School Safety Initiative framework develop support for global and regional collaboration for advocacy and standards, and to establish research priorities and research-practice linkages. We are represented on the Global Alliance for Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience in the Education Sector's Steering Committee, and co-lead the School Disaster Management Working Group and the Ad Hoc Task Force on CSS Indicators. Over the past nine years, Save the Children has implemented more than 130 school safety programs in 49 countries worldwide, with significant activities and outcomes in DRR and Education and combined budgets of almost $60m USD. Three quarters of these began after 2008. Collectively these programs have reached nearly one million children making Save the Children a significant DRR in education agency across the region. Almost two-thirds of the total numbers of projects were implemented in Asia, with half of them in Southeast Asia.

About the Role

We are looking to recruit a Technical Advisor (TA) as part of the ASSI Project Management Team (PMT) to support the development and implementation of the ASSI, helping support strategies to go to scale with risk reduction and resilience in the education sector through at least December 2015. Key objectives which the TA will lead include the development and adoption of standards, tools, and approaches to support ASEAN and individual countries in developing, implementing, monitoring and evaluating indicators and minimum standards for school safety. The Technical Advisor works in close collaboration with ASSI Technical Committee and other key stakeholders such as Asian Coalition for School Safety.
