And we never give up.

**For every child, **_education_**

Latin America and the Caribbean is one of the regions with the most extensive and complex migration crises in the world. Millions of children, adolescents and families are in transit, as they have had to leave their homes for various reasons: instability, poverty, extreme weather events or armed violence, among others. However, not all of them can enter the legal channels for regular and orderly migration, due to lack of official documentation, lack of economic resources, which leads them to travel on foot, putting their safety at risk, such as the dangerous Darien Gap, located between Colombia and Panama. Despite the efforts of recipient countries to regularize and provide assistance, the humanitarian situation remains dire, with more than 4 million Venezuelans in Latin America facing difficulties in meeting their basic needs by 2023.

In Latin America, the situation of migrant children has reached unprecedented levels by 2023. According to UNICEF, approximately 25% of migrants in the region are minors, and most of these children are under 11 years old. Crossings of minors through dangerous routes, such as the Darien jungle between Colombia and Panama, have increased dramatically. Between January and October 2023, nearly 100,000 children crossed the Darien, almost double the previous year's figure.

UNICEF promotes the rights and welfare of all children and adolescents in everything we do. Together with our allies, we work in 190 countries and territories to transform this commitment into practical actions that benefit all children, especially focusing our efforts on reaching the most vulnerable and excluded, worldwide.

UNICEF works to put the rights and well-being of the most disadvantaged children at the heart of the social, political, and economic agenda, in line with our equity focus, working across our organization and with our partners in government, civil society and the private sector to support shifts in public policy, fuel social engagement, and increase investment for children. The UNICEF Latin America and Caribbean Regional Office is based in in Panama, operating in 36 territories, including 24 country offices, in which 16 are Small Island Developing States (SIDS).

Internally, the Strategic Plan 2022-2025 details specific work dimensions to achieve 2030 education goals. To ensure that every child learns, UNICEF works in 2 result areas: 1) ACCESS to quality learning opportunities, despite recent progress, there are still too many children who aren’t attending school. And, for those who do attend, too many are not getting a good quality education. UNICEF’s work addresses both challenges - increasing access to education and improving the quality of education; 2) LEARNING, skills, participation and engagement, Children and adolescents are growing up in a transforming world. UNICEF’s work helps to prepare them for the future by providing opportunities for them to develop life skills, digital skills, transferrable skills, and vocational skills for specific jobs.

To achieve these objectives, UNICEF LAC Regional Office (LACRO) aims to improve access, learning and protection for children in emergencies and fragile contexts: prevention and response in emergencies, including displaced children. Strengthening policies, regulatory frameworks, and procedures to ensure access to education and completion for children on the move are some of the activities carried out by UNICEF LACRO section to fulfill its commitments to children. UNICEF LACRO is co-leader of the Regional Education Working Group for Latin America and the Caribbean, (GRE-LAC) through which it ensures the participation of various agencies and manages a work plan to develop joint actions for the benefit of children and adolescents, even in emergency and crisis situations.

Under the overall supervision and guidance of the UNICEF LACRO Education in Emergencies Specialist, the purpose of this consultancy is to support the LACRO EiE team to have key information and data products to facilitate the development of the education migration agenda as well as education in emergencies activities related to information management. The consultant will develop key Information Management products related to the GRE-LAC website and the R4V education sector activities related to the planning process.
