The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) seeks to build peace through international cooperation in Education, the Sciences and Culture. UNESCO's programmes contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals in Agenda 2030 adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2015. This Call for Partnerships (CFP) for Implementation Partners relates to the UNESCO project:
Our Rights, Our Lives, Our Future (O3) Zambia - Phase II Project
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), through the Our Rights, Our Lives, Our Future (O3) Programme in Zambia, supports efforts to improve education, health and well-being including gender equality outcomes for young people in Zambia. In its second phase, the programme will continue to implement Life Skills and Health Education (LSHE) while strengthening youth engagement in Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR). Through this Call for Partnerships (CFP), UNESCO seeks to engage a Zambia-based digital literacy implementation partner to facilitate digital learning aimed at improving access to quality, inclusive, and technology-enabled learning for adolescents and young people. The programme will focus on integrating digital learning platforms, life skills education, and teacher capacity strengthening to enhance learner engagement, retention, and outcomes, particularly in underserved and rural communities across the seven focus provinces (Lusaka, Central, Copperbelt, Southern, North-Western, Eastern and Muchinga) and organize district, provincial and national youth-friendly approaches to effectively engage diverse and hard-to-reach young people.
