- Description :
- Tenders are invited for Procurement of Assistive Devices Adolescents Girls- Education To provide tailored, sustainable solutions to develop literacy, numeracy, and key life skills (financial literacy and knowledge of sexual and reproductive health) for 40,000 of the most marginalized girls in South Somalia. It aims to target the hardest to reach out of school girls, specifically girls who are disabled, engaged in child labour, married and divorced girls, internally displaced persons (IPDs), girls from minority clans and excluded groups, and pastoralists. The combination of flexible approaches (ABE and life skills courses), provided close to home, caters to the needs of different age groups of girls who have limited time and mobility. Background on Special Needs and Inclusive education Support to teachers with special needs and disabilities is a major challenge to the education sector. The national education system has been characterized by inadequate systems and facilities that respond to the challenges faced by teachers with special needs and disabilities The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, Articles 4, 20, and 26, asks States to promote the availability of appropriate devices and mobility aids and provide accessible information about them. The Standard Rules on the Equalization of Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities also call upon States to support the development, production, distribution, and servicing of assistive devices and equipment and the dissemination of knowledge about them. Access to assistive devices is essential for many people with disabilities and is an important part of any development strategy. Without assistive devices, people with disabilities may never be educated or able to work, so the cycle of poverty continues. Increasingly, the benefits of assistive devices are also being recognized for older people as a health promotion and prevention strategy. Many people with disabilities depend on assistive devices to enable them to carry out daily activities and participate actively and productively in community life. The context for supporting teachers with a disability is informed by the fact that teachers with disability in Somalia are considered to be particularly vulnerable and in need of support. Opportunities to access assistive devices are very limited and support for their education is very low in the communities. The need to prioritize inclusive education beyond the boundaries of the school and classroom is real. A holistic and systematic approach is critical to strengthening the technical and institutional capacities of the MOEs to effectively deliver educational services to the majority of the most marginalized groups including out-of-school children and children with special needs. Objectives of the TOR The objective of this TOR is to assess a total of 15 teachers with disability from across the 3 project locations (Banadir, Jubaland, and Southwest) for the provision of assistive devices such as hearing aids, eyeglasses, auxiliary crutches, elbow crutches, etc. depending on the outcome of the assessment by the service provider. Scope of Work The successful service provider will be expected to undertake the following tasks: A physical examination of all teachers chosen based on a thorough review of their medical history. Review of current function and evaluation of existing assistive devices. Recommend and provide the appropriate assistive devices. Provide induction to the teachers on the use and maintenance of the assistive devices Offer after-sales service by providing support to the individual teachers to maximize the full use of the product. Service the product if it becomes faulty and supply products that come with at least a 2-year warranty.
