1. BACKGROUND

Right To Play is a global organization, using the
transformative power of play to educate and empower children facing adversity.
Through playing sports and games, Right To Play helps over one million children
learn through play to create better futures, while driving lasting social
change in more than 20 countries each week.

In 2007,
Right To Play partnered with the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and
Development (DFATD, formerly CIDA) to implement Basic Education through Sport
and Play for Children and Youth in West and Francophone Africa: Play to Learn
reaching over 200,000 children in Benin, Ghana, Liberia, Mali and Rwanda. The
results of Play to
Learn demonstrated the power of Sport and Play for Development and
Peace (SPDP) to transform the way that teachers teach, students learn, and
communities interact with children and youth. The success of this, and the
subsequent Advancing
Health, Education and Development (AHEAD) program(s) also
positioned the Government of Canada and Right To Play to lead the way in
solving the critical education challenges that confront the world today

The
DFATD-funded Play for
the Advancement of Quality Education
(PAQE) program will directly address the educational needs of over two million
vulnerable and marginalized children and youth through a 21-month quality
education program in eight countries: Benin, Ghana, Liberia, Mali, Mozambique,
Rwanda, Tanzania, and Pakistan. The PAQE program will aim to improve
educational attainment and participation for children and youth aged 2 to 15 in
eight countries at scale through a sustainable and replicable child-centred,
play-based learning model. This ultimate outcome will be achieved through
focused interventions at the school, community and policy level that result in:

·
Improved positive participatory and gender-sensitive
learning environments that promote play-based learning:

·
Improved commitment of community stakeholders to
address barriers to education, and;

enhanced policy and regulatory environment for
the delivery of gender-sensitive, child-centred, play-based learning
policies and practices across communities

To implement such a program, Right To Play seeks to
recruit skilled candidates for the positions described below
