Christian Mission for Development (CMD) is implementing the South Sudan Multi-Year Resilience Programme (SS MYRP) for Phase 2 in Duk County, Jonglei State. This Project is supported with generous seed funding by Education Cannot Wait (ECW) and Global Partnership for Education (GPE); and managed in South Sudan by the SS MYRP Consortium made up of Save the Children International (SCI), Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) and Finn Church (FCA). SCI is the lead agency, and the Consortium oversees implementation of the MYRP Project by INGOs and NNGOs across South Sudan. The Project seeks to support out-of-school children (OOSC) to go back to school again and stay on to complete their education.
CMD would like to enlist the services of Community Mobilization Specialist (s) to conduct a KAP survey to identify knowledge strengths, cultural beliefs, or behavioral patterns that may have facilitated understanding and action in favour of children’s school enrolment and attendance, as well as those which may have posed problems or created barriers for universal access to education. The KAP survey should also assess communication processes and sources that are key to defining effective activities and messages in support of school enrolment & attendance in Duk County, Jonglei State.
This KAP survey is hence meant to identify areas of strength, innovative approaches, emerging/persistent needs, problems, and barriers in programme delivery, as well as solutions for improving quality and accessibility of services beyond the confines of the MYRP Project in its Phase II.
STUDY OBJECTIVES
