UNICEF works in some of the world's toughest places, to reach the world's most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.  Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.  And we never give up.  For every child, Education.   There are few greater challenges faced by the global community than the twin crises of learning poverty and youth unemployment. In response, the Education Commission (chaired by Gordon Brown, former UK Prime Minister and UN Special Envoy for Global Education) and the Global Steering Group for Impact Investment (chaired by Sir Ronald Cohen) came together to create EOF. We aim to improve the education and employment outcomes of 10 million children and youth by supporting governments to utilize a range of innovative finance instruments at scale, including outcomes funds and other results-based financing (RBF) instruments. EOF supports improvements in the quality of education and skills programs, with a special focus on underserved populations, including the hardest to reach, rural populations, girls, children with disabilities, and refugees. It measures (and pays for) what matters – both core skills like literacy and numeracy, but also critical 21st Century skills such as socio-emotional skills, ICT skills, and other broader fundamentals of a quality education. It helps close the persistent gap between the skills needed by employers and those attained by today's youth by paying for employment and retention outcomes. For all the above, EOF pays primarily on the basis of the results achieved, ensuring that taxpayer-funded domestic resources, aid, and philanthropic funds are only used to pay for what works. This is a game-changing way to finance results in education. It is more than just a fund – it is a powerful new set of partnerships and way of working. Together with our supporters, we believe this is the early stages of a much larger movement. Our approach is at the cutting edge of development finance, shifting risk to the private sector, crowding in private capital, and harnessing the capacity and capability of non-state actors, with huge potential to achieve better outcomes for children and youth around the world. DESCRIPTION OF ASSIGNMENT (TASKS): EOF is exploring the use of outcomes-based financing (OBF) programmes for Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE), basic education, and skills-for-employment. We have undertaken a portfolio of OBF programmes to showcase the potential (and limitations) of OBF in different settings while leveraging our programme portfolio to contribute towards an increasingly vibrant ecosystem for OBF in education. In the intern's work with the Learning and Engagement team. they will be invited to support the team across a range of activities related to: - building evidence around OBF's value-add in education - building tools to help others use OBF in education and - building support for OBF's use in education A more detailed list of activities is included below: - Research and knowledge generation around OBF in Education: We have a series of technical briefs currently being developed by content experts in the fields of disability inclusion; evaluation and pricing outcomes. Similar to this Measurement package, we would invite the intern to support the development of the accompanying learning materials to aid the engagement, understanding and reach of the technical brief to a wider audience. - Support the Learning and Engagement team to build and manage relationships with peer organizations and potential knowledge partners through, for example, scheduling and participating in calls and attending webinars, and documenting key takeaways. - Community building through providing logistics support for events attended by EOF this will include event research across sectors of OBF, ECCE, basic education and skills for employment; specific conference participant research and scheduling bilateral meetings. Additionally contributing to mapping of key stakeholders and networks within these sectors. If you want to contribute to a rapidly growing organisation, with an exciting mission, opportunities for a high level of responsibility and growth, and to become part of a strong team with a culture of growth and professional development, then EOF could be the place for you.
