Description de l'offre Senior Regional Advisor (Statistics). Organizational context Overview of the functions of the post Established in 1999, the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) is the statistical office of UNESCO and serves as the United Nations depository for cross-nationally comparable statistics in the fields of education, science, technology, culture, and communication and information for its 193 Member States and 12 Associate Members. The UIS agenda is focused on the delivery of cross-national comparable data for global, regional and development agendas, structured around three pillars: standards and methodologies; data production; and brokering and outreach. As articulated in its 2022–2029 Medium-Term Strategy, the UIS aims to ensure that countries’ policies and decision-making are informed by sound statistical information, that they can benchmark progress towards national and international goals, and that they can learn from the experience of others. The UIS provides the data and technical inputs that underpin global, regional and funding mechanisms for education, including the UN Transforming Education Summit, the Global Education Cooperation Mechanism (GCM), the G7, the G20, and the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) results framework. The UIS also responds to emerging data needs, for example through its joint work with UNICEF, the World Bank, the OECD and the Global Education Monitoring Report (GEMR) on national education responses to COVID-19. Together with the GEMR, the UIS achieved consensus on the adoption of the SDG 4 benchmarking process and co-leads the data and monitoring function of the GCM, supporting countries in setting and monitoring targets for 2025 and 2030. This position sits within the Regional Field Network Unit of the UIS and leads the UIS team in Africa. The incumbent is a member of the UIS senior management team, works under the direct supervision of the Director of the Institute, and collaborates closely with the different Sections of the Institute. Key role and responsibilities Under the overall authority of the Director of the UNESCO Institute for Statistics, the Senior Regional Advisor (Statistics) will provide strategic advice and support to regional, sub-regional and national authorities and organizations in the UIS’s fields of competence in order to improve the quality of data in Africa; provide technical assistance and methodological guidance to build statistical capacity; and strengthen the region’s capacity to monitor the SDGs, including securing national commitments to SDG 4 benchmarks, thereby contributing to the implementation and monitoring of the UIS strategy in the region. In particular, the incumbent will carry out the following duties: Data Collection

• Develop and implement a Regional Engagement Strategy to improve the quality, timeliness and completeness of data and indicators collected for the UIS Core System of Education Indicators.
• Develop analytical capacity to strengthen traditional data collection and provide guidance and support to countries in reporting; monitor the response rates and the quality of data reported by countries to the UIS and coordinate the actions required to maintain or increase these; and obtain country validation of indicators to be reported by the UIS.
• Follow up on response rates in the region and coordinate the necessary actions with the Heads of the Education Administrative Data Section, the Foresight and Innovation Section, and the Science, Culture, Communication and Information (SCCI) Section. Capacity Development In line with the UIS strategy and priorities:
• Lead the development of regional analysis activities aimed at supporting the monitoring and follow-up of the SDGs and the Education 2030 Agenda; work closely with other units in UNESCO regional and field offices to address cross-cutting themes such as gender and inclusive education, while ensuring the inclusion and cost-coverage of monitoring and evaluation functions and activities related to statistics and indicators in their programmes.
• Lead the delivery of UIS responsibilities for the Continental Education Strategy for Africa (CESA) and the SDG 4 benchmarking process in the region.
• Contribute to the work of the Education Standards and Methodology Unit and the Foresight and Innovation Team in exploring methods to increase the robustness of education indicators and their coverage.
• Coordinate, plan and monitor a funded programme of work for capacity building in statistics and information systems, working with internal and external partners to align with prioritization criteria and reduce fragmentation, gaps and overlaps. Partnership and Resource Mobilization
• Develop and maintain strategic partnerships with the African Union, regional organizations, National Commissions and Member State line ministries to advance the Institute’s strategy for education data, accountability and alignment.
• Ensure that all field operations issues are effectively and efficiently coordinated with the relevant UIS HQ teams in education.
• Serve as UIS liaison to facilitate the implementation of the UIS regional programme in the areas of Science, Culture, Communication and Information (SCCI).
• Participate in resource mobilization through regional and inter-regional collaboration and coordination of multilateral and bilateral funding in matters related to statistics and information systems.
• Lead resource mobilization for UIS activities in the region. Contribution to UIS Core Work
• At the beginning of each year, provide the UIS Director with an annual plan outlining the priorities for the region and recommending an action plan.
