Support to the Education Sector Plan
TITLE:
Individual Consultant: Information and Communication Technology for Education
NOTICE:
Project ID: HA-T1147
Request for Expressions of Interest
Education Sector - IDB Country office in Haiti
Technical Cooperation
Eligibility of the candidates: IDB member countries
Context. Two years after the earthquake, the Government of Haiti (GoH) has undertaken considerable efforts to rebuild the country. In the education sector, the Bank continues to be the government’s biggest supporter in terms of financial support and leverage of other donors’ resources. In 2010, the Bank pledged US$250 million in grant resources over a five year period in support of the government’s plan and an equivalent amount to be raised, to the extent possible, from other donors. The program includes two grant operations using IDB grant resources (HA-L1049 and HA-L1060, US$50 million each) as well as co-financing from the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA, CAD$20m), the Haiti Reconstruction Fund (HRF, US$15m) and the First Citizens Bank of Trinidad and Tobago (FCBT&T, US$1m). The Bank’s program is built on the government’s education plan developed after the earthquake, outlining the framework for achieving a tuition-free, well-managed education system open to all children and providing quality services (see HA-L1049 and HA-L1060 grant proposals for more details). The Bank supported five year program, including the current operation, aims at supporting the Haitian Education Plan’s following objectives: (i) improving access to education; (ii) improving the quality of education; (iii) reforming technical and vocational training; (iv) reforming higher education; and (v) strengthening the institutional and governance capacities of the MENFP. At the same time, the focus on results has been a constantly growing agenda within the IDB over the past years, including a renovated effort for impact measurement and reporting on results.
The IDB is currently looking for an individual consultant who will support the definition and implementation of the ICT agenda in the education sector in Haiti. More specifically, the consultant will provide support to the Ministry of Education in developing and implementing the ICT for Education strategy and specific related projects. The consultant will work closely with the IDB education team throughout the program lifecycle and will provide advice and guidance on technology matters, strategies, issues, and priorities.
Individual consultants owning a master’s degree in Information Technology, Information Systems, Computer Science or in a discipline relevant to ICT for education and at least 5 years of relevant experience, are encouraged to express their interests. Fluency in spoken and written French and, English or Spanish, is mandatory. The consultancy will last for a period of 12 months (renewable) starting in August 2012 and will require monthly (i) at least 5 working days in Haiti and (ii) 5 working days on a distance.
