UNICEF's core mission is to advance the rights of every child worldwide, embedding this commitment across all programs, advocacy efforts, and operational activities, particularly in challenging contexts like Liberia. Central to this is the equity strategy, which prioritizes the most marginalized and excluded children and families, translating the promise of children's rights into actionable outcomes. Equity ensures that every child can survive, thrive, and reach their full potential without discrimination, bias, or favoritism, even in a post-conflict nation where rural-urban disparities, climate vulnerabilities, and fragile infrastructure present significant hurdles. When any child faces unequal opportunities across social, political, economic, civic, or cultural dimensions compounded by historical conflict and entrenched social norms, their fundamental rights are violated. How can you make a difference? During an in-country mission to Liberia, the consultant will provide high-level technical expertise across two heavily structured weeks: Week 1 (Diagnostic & Stakeholder Alignment): Support the capacity building of the Institutional Consultants who will be developing the software for Learning Passport; and facilitate high-level policy and technical alignment meetings with the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Youth and Sports. Week 2 (Roadmap Co-Creation): Support the facilitation of a multi-stakeholder technical workshop to finalize the Liberia Learning Passport Implementation Roadmap ; and run technical capacity-building handovers for UNICEF staff and MoE ICT specialists. Purpose of the Post: UNICEF Liberia is supporting the Ministry of Education (MoE) to strengthen national digital learning infrastructure and expand access to schooling for vulnerable and out-of-school children. Following the 2025 Joint Education Sector Review (JESR) and Mid-Term Review (MTR), the MoE prioritized flexible, alternative digital learning modalities through the deployment of the Learning Passport (LP) platform. This short-term assignment brings specialized regional expertise to accelerate the deployment process.
