The annual Global Education Monitoring Report (GEM Report) is the world’s foremost publication on education. Since 2016, it has been monitoring the new post-2015 education goal and targets, which are part of the Sustainable Development Goals agenda. The Report delivers on the mandate based on three principles: it is universal, inter-sectoral, and equity oriented. Informed by the latest evidence and research on education, the GEM Report is a global public good that fulfils the need for an independent monitoring function, uncommon at the United Nations, which assesses progress towards the international education commitments of Agenda 2030.
Due to its earned reputation for quality and independence, the GEM Report seeks to use its outputs not only to inform global education stakeholders but also to contribute to policy change to help countries achieve SDG 4. The GEM Report prioritises activities that engage the global education agenda and stakeholders including governments (leadership and senior civil servants of ministries of education and finance, and implementing agencies), experts (including academic researchers, think tanks and consultants), multilateral, international, regional and national development organizations, teachers and their unions, youth, students and their organizations, civil society actors and non-government organizations engaged in education, and the general public opinion. Through its strategic research development and advocacy partnerships, an active communications programme, policy dialogue, and peer learning mechanisms, the GEM Report aims to tackle difficult topics in education and present evidence to inform debate and decision-making.
The GEM Report seeks to recruit a Project Officer (Advocacy Partnerships and Events) to co-lead the design and coordination of strategic partnerships to (a) strengthen stakeholder engagement in the development of the Report and its workstreams focusing on thematic papers related to PEER profiles (www.education-profiles.org), and (b) grow the coalition of advocacy partners to improve the resonance of and policy dialogue around the Report’s messages and recommendations. The duty station for the position is Paris (France).
Under the authority of the Director of the Global Education Monitoring Report, and the direct supervision of the Senior Project Officer (Communications and Advocacy), the staff member will be responsible for conceptualization and coordination of stakeholder engagement to support the development and dissemination lifecycle of an assigned annual GEM Report series and thematic papers related to PEER profiles.
