The signing of the peace deal for South Sudan, offers an opportunity to widen mainstreaming peacebuilding as a key strategy in nation building and also critical for integrated programming. The conflict analysis has identified complex challenges including unemployment, trauma, structural inequalities to mention a few. The attack on education is a major concern given that education is one of the key life saving measures when children and adolescents are in difficult conflict contexts. Creating operational standards for Learning Spaces as Zones of Peacebuilding will help in operationalizing the Global Coalition Strategy for the protection of education as a national and global concern.

The consultant will assist with comprehensive understanding of the lessons learnt in PBEA as well as the development of standards for LSaZoP including the operationalization of the LSPE programme.

In light of that, the technical expertise required in this consultancy needs to be delivered within stipulated timeframe (2 months). This is critical given that the PBEA is also working towards closure of the programme and therefore documenting what worked and in what contexts and did not work is an integral part of the consultancy.

• Capture lessons and practices emerging from the PBEA programme and document their contribution to the peacebuilding and transformational agenda.

• Produce standards on Learning Spaces as Zones of Peacebuilding (LSaZoP) and link them to the communique on Learning Spaces as Zones of Peacebuilding.

• Reflect the role of young people in advancing the transformational agenda in the peacebuilding processes and how to mainstream across programmes.

• Present publishable reports on PBEA lessons and practices and Standards for LSaZoP for national validation and dissemination.

• Prepare and present short PowerPoint presentation for validation
