It takes all types of personalities and talents to drive our organisation– yours included. We value a healthy work-life balance and ensure our people feel connected to each other and our impact. Learn from inspiring people and grow from a connection to our strong local and global networks. From our programs to our support services - this is the place to realise your purpose.
About the project:
The Climate Smart Education Systems Initiative (CSESI), funded by the Global Partnership for Education (GPE), aims to strengthen the capacity of education ministries to integrate climate change adaptation and environmental sustainability into education policies, budgets, and programs. It also enhances cross-sectoral coordination on climate and education issues.
The consultancy (either an individual or a team) will focus on delivering communications assets which can be used to highlight the impact and results gained through CSESI. The consultant, in coordination with Save the Children, will ensure all safeguarding procedures are followed and that appropriate sign off and consent is received from all featuring in communications assets.
