D. COORDINATION AND COLLABORATION
The consultant will be supervised by UNESCO Islamabad, with technical backstopping from the CSESI team and relevant international experts engaged by UNESCO. The consultant will work in close collaboration with the School Education and Literacy Department, Government of Sindh, and will maintain regular technical coordination with relevant provincial curriculum and education institutions.
Activities will be planned, developed and implemented in close consultation with SE&LD and other relevant provincial stakeholders, including Directorate of Curriculum and Research (DCAR), curriculum and subject specialists, teacher education and professional development institutions, textbook and assessment bodies, local government, the Sindh Environment/Climate Change authorities, disaster management institutions, academia and other actors identified jointly by UNESCO and the Government of Sindh.
The consultant will coordinate with CSESI partners and other organizations working on climate and environmental education in Sindh to promote complementarity, alignment and knowledge sharing and to avoid duplication. The consultant will participate in relevant CSESI coordination mechanisms and technical meetings as required.
The consultant will apply a participatory and co-creation approach so that the curriculum review findings, priority topics, learning outcomes and proposed curriculum revisions are jointly discussed and technically validated with SE&LD and relevant stakeholders. Consultation processes should be documented and stakeholder feedback transparently reflected in successive drafts.
The consultant will apply the principles of gender equality and inclusion and, where relevant, an intersectional approach consistent with UNESCO’s Greening Curriculum Guidance. Curriculum recommendations should consider diverse learner contexts, including gender, disability, language, geography, socioeconomic background and formal/non-formal learning settings.
