About the job

The context:

Globally, millions of children and young people are not in education due to poverty,
conflict, gender disparities and disability. This poses a major challenge to achieving
Sustainable Development Goal 4, which aims to provide inclusive and equitable quality
education for all. UNESCO estimates that over 244 million children were not in
education in 2022, with the largest proportion being in sub-Saharan Africa. Despite
Rwanda’s significant progress towards universal education, barriers such as poverty,
long distances to schools, early pregnancies and limited support for children with
disabilities persist, affecting access to education, retention and learning outcomes. At
ADEPE, we promote inclusive education by identifying and supporting out-of-school
children and young people, engaging with their families and communities, and
advocating for systems that ensure every child can access and complete a quality
education.
