OVERVIEW OF THE FUNCTIONS OF THE POST
Established in 1999, the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) serves as UNESCO's statistical agency for its 193 member states (MS) and 12 associated members. The UIS agenda is focused on the delivery of cross-national comparable data for Global, regional and development agendas, covering the fields of education, science, culture, and communication and information. The UIS delivers the technical support for MS to produce transformative data based on the 3 pillars (Standards and methodologies; Data production; Brokering and outreach). The UIS' vision, described in its 2022-2029 Medium Term strategy, is 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 learn from the experience of others. The
UIS is seeking to build a management team that will lead the successful implementation of that vision. The UIS provides the data and technical inputs for global, regional and funding mechanisms for education work, such as the UN Transforming Education Summit, the Global Education Cooperation Mechanism (GCM), G7, G20 and the GPE results framework. The UIS meets data needs for emerging priorities, for example through its work with UNICEF, World Bank, OECD and the GEMR on the Joint Survey of national education responses to COVID 19. Within the mandate of strengthening reporting, the UIS in partnership with the Global Education Monitoring report (GEMR) achieved consensus on the adoption of an SDG 4 benchmarking process and supports countries in setting and monitoring targets for 2025 and 2030 as co-leaders of the data and monitoring function of the GCM.
Under the overall authority and supervision of the Director of UNESCO Institute for Statistics, the Head of the Foresight and Innovation team (FIT) will contribute substantially to the UIS concept, utilization, design and implementation and quality assurance of all the UIS statistics in the area of Education. The head of the section will ensure all governance mechanisms in the Education area work smoothly. The successful candidate will be part of the senior leadership of the UIS and play a key role in developing the public profile of the institution's knowledge, work and outreach to a broad range of external stakeholders.
