Stretch Assignment: Stretch Assignment for Education Officer NOB/NOC or P2/P3 - Support the UNICEF Country Office in Guinea-Bissau  with Access to Learning Section. Title: Education officer Level: NOB/NOC or P2/P3, we encourage staff from all levels with the relevant experience to apply Reports to: Chief Education Duration: 2 Months Section: Access to Learning, Programme, Guinea-Bissau Location: Office Based, Bissau, Guinea-Bissau Dates/Duration: 15 December 2025 to 15 February 2026  Eligibility: All Fixed-Term, Permanent or continuing appointment UNICEF staff members currently working in UNICEF worldwide.   Background Guinea-Bissau, with an estimated population of 2.2 million people, remains one of the most fragile and impoverished countries globally, ranking 174 out of 189 on the Human Development Index.  The education sector systems indicators are alarming, and the sector is recognized as priority in national plans and strategies, and so as by UN system and other partners in Guinea Bissau. On the access front, pre-school enrollment remains critically low, with only 14 per cent of children. The 2018?2019 MICS 6 survey data reveals that over half of five-year-old children in Guinea-Bissau were out of school, with significant disadvantages for children in rural areas in the Regions like Oio, Gabu, and Bafata and those from the poorest households. The same source indicated that primary school conclusion rate is only 27 per cent which is the worst globally, with regional difference and less performance in the rural area. Furthermore, many schools lack full education cycles, especially in rural areas, contributing to high dropout rates and late school entry ? the average age for Grades 2 and 5 are 11 years old and 15 years old respectively. As such, over a quarter of primary-aged children (27.7 per cent) are out of school. At the lower secondary education level, the net attendance rate (NAR) is only 9 per cent and the completion rate is only 17 per cent, indicating most children either stop going to school before reaching lower secondary education level or stop while they attend this level. For girls, other reasons such as early marriage and pregnancy, cultural barriers and lack of toilets in schools also play major roles in hampering their attendance in and completion of school. For example, more than one in ten women (11.4 per cent) are either married or in union before reaching the age of 15 with the situation of Gabu and Bafatá regions reaching almost twice as high as the national level (24.8 per cent and 19.8 per cent, respectively). Similarly, 52 per cent of women aged 15?49 have undergone FGM; highest in Gabú (96per cent) and Bafatá (87per cent).  and most girls are cut before age 5, often by traditional practitioners. Despite legislation (Law No. 14/2011), enforcement is limited. As such, this early trauma can affect cognitive development, school readiness, and emotional well-being and FMG is associated with school dropout, especially when linked to early marriage and early pregnancy, which are prevalent in communities practicing FGM. Girls who undergo FGM may also experience trauma, anxiety, and depression, which can reduce school participation and performance.  Moreover, violence prevails in homes and schools. About 75 per cent of children aged 1?14 experience physical violence as a form of discipline. Women face severe challenges, including gender-based violence, harmful practices like female genital mutilation (48 per cent prevalence), low literacy, and limited land ownership rights (24.4 per cent). Social protection coverage is extremely low (0.9 per cent of the population), constrained by limited fiscal space and geographic barriers. Malnutrition is a critical issue, Halving child malnutrition by 2025 could save USD 148.5 million annually. School feeding interventions aim to improve nutrition and health for children, particularly girls and those with disabilities, while building national capacity for sustainable program management. About the quality of education, only 12 per cent of Grade 2 students master basic Portuguese, and 8 per cent master math. Teachers' competency is equally concerning while nearly 70 per cent of full-time teachers have benefited from some previous training and are considered qualified: In Grade 2, 32 per cent and 54 per cent of teachers are not able to treat properly Portuguese & Mathematics respectively (UNICEF SitAn 2019) while in Grade 5, 95 per cent of teachers lack mastery in Portuguese, and 98 per cent in math ((WB, Quality Education for All project 2018-19). These gaps reflect systemic weaknesses in teacher training and deployment.   With political instability, weak public institutions, and limited basic service coverage, over 72 per cent of children live below the national poverty line and 23 per cent in extreme poverty, with significant disparities across regions and between urban and rural areas. Besides, national funding to education stood at only 8 per cent in 2024, far below the international requirement of 20 per cent with 90 per cent of the budget directed to salary. All these will further negatively affect the outcome of education unless they take proper actions. GB is in the critical stage due to the above situation. The timing is coincided with the development of new UNSCDF 2027-31 and UNICEF CPD 2027-31 programme and UNICEF GB Education section is seeking someone to support us to reinforce the ongoing effots to implement, review and plan during the EYR and the planning period for 2026 and new 5-year programme.   Purpose of the Position: The purpose of this stretch assignment is to provide technical support for primary education related programme which UNICEF GBO is supporting the Ministry of National Education, Higher Education and Scientific Investigation (MENESIC in Portuguese Acronym) in terms of end-year review (EYR) process and planning for 2026 and for new CPD 2027-31 whose development process is ongoing.

Background Bhutan has made significant progress in establishing a comprehensive legal and institutional framework to advance the rule of law and access to justice. Since the 1950s, the country's legal and judicial sector has evolved rapidly, marked by the professionalization of the judiciary in the 1990s, the creation of the Office of Legal Affairs in 1999 (later replaced by the Office of Attorney General in 2006), and the adoption of the 2008 Constitution. The Constitution guarantees separation of powers, judicial independence, a democratically elected parliament, a well-qualified judiciary and Attorney-General's office, and a system of mediation at the local level. Building on these foundations, Bhutan continues to invest in strengthening the justice sector and the rule of law. The Justice Sector Strategic Plan II (2024–2029) provides a strategic framework for action, prioritizing effective leadership, competent service providers, responsive and accountable services, accessibility and inclusion, and adequate infrastructure for justice delivery. An effective and citizen-centric justice sector is essential for achieving the government's 13th Five Year Plan (FYP) goal: ensuring that state institutions deliver inclusive, effective, and accessible justice, uphold transparent rule of law, and foster public oversight. Recent analyses and evaluations highlight the need for a more consolidated and coordinated approach to justice sector reform, one that benefits women, children, persons with disabilities, and other vulnerable groups. Enhancing access to justice for these groups is a core priority of the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (2024–2028) and UNDP's Country Programme Document (2024–2028).

UN Women continues to strengthen its strategic planning and results-based management (RBM) approach to ensure that resources are effectively aligned with the Strategic Plan and that results for women and girls are systematically planned, monitored, reported, and communicated.
