Supporting Comprehensive Sexuality Education in the Pacific
United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
#SDGAction40004
Description
Each organisation will collaborate on activities that are jointly carried out and play a leading role in areas that they specialise in. Activities that are jointly carried out are sought collaboratively.
To ensure long term sustainability, Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) is being developed as part of national programs and activities within schools. This means that each country uses the basis of the CSE approach but adapts it to meet local needs and processes. Countries will therefore take on a variety of approaches that may be curriculum only, or comprise a whole package of measures. These will be phased and developed according to national plans of action which take into account national education planning and curriculum development timelines; building the capacity of national counterparts in all areas including teacher training institutes; and local and community institutions such as elders, churches, youth groups and NGOs.Development of the majority of activities will be through national programs with the use of a limited number of regional workshops and trainings to exchange information and resources compare progress and lessons learned, and provide input into the overall direction of the joint program. The programme will also take advantage of and facilitate south-to-south cooperation and where relevant support creates regional mechanisms for technical support, quality assurance, and information exchange.
The programme will be managed primarily through parallel funding streams among the three agencies. Additional funds that are mobilized may be managed in a flow-through manner in accordance with the donor and UN procedures. One of the key objectives is to align and coordinate activities which may be done either by individual agencies or jointly. The main coordinating structure will therefore be the Coordination Committee, which will be responsible to agree and monitor the whole breadth of the program. The Coordination Committee will have membership of two persons from each of the participating agencies. Any donors or other participating parties may also be invited to join.
