TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR RECRUITING ENUMERATORS
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.
About ADEPE:
ADEPE (Action pour le Développement du Peuple) is a legally
recognized non-governmental and non-profit organization registered in Rwanda
since 2002. It operates nationwide, striving to create an inclusive society in
which women, young people and children are empowered to become self-reliant and
enjoy equal opportunities. ADEPE focuses on improving the quality of life for
vulnerable groups through programs that promote social protection, human
rights, and sustainable development.
Education is central to ADEPE’s mission. ADEPE identifies
and supports out-of-school children and youth by addressing barriers to
education, mobilizing families and communities, and strengthening school
environments for inclusion and retention. It provides scholastic support for
vulnerable learners, promotes early childhood development through
community-based and market-based ECD centers, and equips parents and caregivers
to foster holistic development. These efforts ensure that every child,
especially the most marginalized, has access to quality education and
opportunities to thrive.

About the LIFT Project in Rwanda:
The Learning and Inclusion for Transformation (LIFT) program is a Ministry
of Education initiative funded by the UK Government through FCDO. The program
aims to improve foundational learning outcomes in English and Mathematics in
Rwanda’s primary schools. Specifically, LIFT targets adolescents aged 12-17,
supporting their reintegration into school or facilitating alternative
educational pathways. This includes providing functional literacy and numeracy
programs, life skills, and vocational pathways for youth aged 15-18. The first
phase of the project covers 7 districts: Gasabo, Kirehe, Gisagara, Rusizi,
Karongi, Ngororero, and Gakenke Districts.
ADEPE has been selected as the anchor organization in
Gakenke and Rusizi districts, where it plays a critical role in identifying
out-of-school children and youth (OOSCY), mobilizing families and communities,
strengthening school systems, and implementing tailored interventions that
promote inclusion, retention, and holistic wellbeing for all learners. These
efforts include addressing barriers that keep children out of school, providing
scholastic materials and psychosocial support, and creating an enabling
environment for quality learning. ADEPE also prioritizes early childhood
development by supporting ECD centers and empowering parents and caregivers to
provide nurturing care, ensuring children are prepared for school and lifelong
learning. Through these initiatives, ADEPE contributes significantly to
building an inclusive education system where no child is left behind.
