    Summary of Current Programmes

Our programming covers the areas of Health and nutrition, HIV and AIDS, Education, Food Security and Livelihoods, Water hygiene and sanitation, child protection and child right programming.
    Background
    The Adolescent Girls Initiative Program (AGI-K), funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID), provides a unique and exciting opportunity to reach at least 6200 adolescent girls ages 11-14 in two marginalized geographies in Kenya – Northern arid lands and urban slums in Nairobi.
    A range of interventions in the health, prevention of violence, wealth creation, and education sectors will be evaluated through a randomized controlled trial including the costing of each packages implementation to provide evidence on the most cost effective combinations which have the greatest impact.
    The rationale is that “Investment in adolescent girls, if made early, and before they start dropping out of school at age 13-14, will break the downward spiral into early pregnancy, early marriage and intergenerational poverty.”
    Thus evidence from research will influence national policy and support scaled up, cost-effective interventions for adolescent girls in the future.
    To reach this goal, an integrated approach to the curriculum development process is proposed, leveraging the learning from other curriculums that have been developed by various agencies working with very young adolescents (VYAs).
    The curricula include:
    1) Health, life skills and nutrition,
    2) Financial education, and
    3) Community dialogues.

  • To produce a revised and simplified version including pictorials of curriculum adapted to the Wajir context to be utilized by mentors
  • Production of a word document of the final curriculum incorporating all topics mentioned above
  • Translated version of the glossary (key terms) Description and Deliverables
    Working closely with the Project Manager of the Adolescent Girls Initiative project and Save the Children’s Country Office Technical Advisors, the Curriculum Development Consultant will perform the following tasks:
  • Review the curriculums identified by the Project Manager and AGI partners
  • Determine which sections to simplify and revise comparing different curriculums which will be provided by the manager
  • Incorporate additional topics on FGM, Early marriage and WASH
  • Ensure cultural relevance of all curriculum sessions
  • Make additional changes after pre-test/pilot-testing of curricula
  • Provide a reasonable timeline for the completion of the task
