Project Description
The PCRVs will support the roll-out of the CSE National Framework by conducting project start-up activities, which are critical to successful implementation. Additionally, they will be expected to establish working relationships with district MoGE officials, mapping and assessing government schools in DREAMS zones, and conducting focus groups at schools to determine progress of CSE roll-out. As needed, the PCRVs will assist with facilitating the distribution of CSE materials and resources to schools that have not yet received them and identify additional opportunities for school-based support and interventions to complement CSE curriculum, such as working with the guidance counselor to offer regular sessions focused on life skills, integrating messages of HIV-prevention into existing extra-curricular school groups, bringing together teachers from different schools to share challenges and lessons learned. The goal of this assignment is to train and support teachers and MoGE district-level leadership in the CSE curriculum and strengthen referral systems of adolescent girls and young women from schools to clinical and community health services and safe spaces.
Please note that departure dates and other details of this project could change because of the uncertainties as Peace Corps and local partners resume volunteer operations. Candidates selected for this position will be arriving in Zambia together as a group, so while the departure dates for the whole group could change, dates cannot be changed for individual candidates.
