The purpose of the consultancy is to build the policy advocacy capacity of ethnic education providers so that they can meaningfully engage on key education reform issues with the Myanmar Ministry of Education(MOE) and work collaboratively with each other and the MOE to support the development of a coherent national education system that ensures that marginalised children’s rights to a relevant quality education are upheld. This will
directly lead to more inclusive development outcomes in conflict affected areas and in so doing will support, rather than hinder, peace building efforts at the local and national levels. The consultancy also aims to identify and define key contentious education issues where evidence is missing for effective advocacy.
