Vacancy Announcement

Job Description:

Introduction:

Social Organization District Coordination Committee Parsa (SODCC Parsa) is a reputed and non-profitable organization which is established in 1994 and registered district administration office Parsa under the government rules and is also affiliated in Social Welfare Council. Now it has been working for the children and women in Madhesh Province to improve the status of children and women especially focusing on the areas of education, health, sanitation, child protection, gender-based violence reduction, poverty alleviation, women empowerment, awareness raising, and emergency response. Also, it has been working for the capacity enhancement of youth, organizational management, community mobilization, and leadership development of women, children, and stakeholders for well planning and program implementation.

Supporting Adolescent Girls Education (SAGE/GATE) programmme (formally called SAGE, a non-formal education programme for out-of-school adolescent girls from 10-14 years of age). Girls Education (GATE) is a 9-month community-based non-formal education program. Further, SAGE graduates are required to mainstream in formal education and retention is the key challenge for which the project will work with selected local governments, and mother schools for the rest of the project duration to ensure regular attendance and learning continuity after mainstreaming. SAGE will impart basic functional literacy, numeracy, and life skills to out-of-school adolescent girls, to prepare them to mainstream into the formal school system. Considering the existing complexity of the OOS adolescents' issue and the process of mainstreaming them into formal education, ensuring their retention and completion of the full cycle of basic education is still a big challenge. Radical and rigorous multi-stakeholder approaches are necessary to bring girls of age group 10-14 back to mainstream education, ensuring their retention in school and continuation of full cycle of basic education. This would be possible through the provision of additional and tailored non-formal education to strengthen basic literacy, numeracy, life skills, and confidence of out-of-school adolescent girls along with community engagement for retention that is only possible through the integration of various sectorial interventions.
