To Whom it may concern

My name is Macaty FALL and I am currently Education specialist for UNICEF Senegal Country Office and would like to apply for the position of Education Specialist, P 3” Bamako,Mali.

Considering the job description, responsibilities and qualifications required for this position, I know that I have the professional ability and technical capacity to submit my application and to hold this position with your satisfaction.

I am aware of our three following priority themes("3Es"): :

-"Equal access and universal primary completion",

-"Empowerment through girls' education and gender mainstreaming",

-"Emergencies and post-crisis education cluster interventions")

They are in link with our four key priorities in UNICEF Strataegic Plan 2014-2017:

- Learning outcomes,

- Early learning,

- Equity and

- The emergency education

Firstly as a Deputy Administrator of Programmes at the Regional Bureau for West and Central Africa of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), based in Senegal, I'm used to dealing with issues related to inequalities in the field of education, especially in times of crisis, minimum standards for Education, enrolment and retention of girls, access to water, the protection and availability of mechanisms of reduction of disparities and monitoring .In this way, I used to develop new and innovative approaches to struggle against gender disparities, inequalities and equity issues afterSituational Analysis and “bottlenecks analysis” . I was in charge of Education in Mali from 2003 to 2010 with frequent fields visits and meetings with others financial and technical partners.

Before this position, I was also Technical adviser successively of three Ministers of Basic Education and vocational training for Senegalese Government.

Concerning UNICEF functions, I am familiar with rights based projects, formulation of programmes goals, strategies for gender mainstreaming Dev info and EDS MICS approach and recently with MORES. Senegal was early starter country of MORES.

I also provide technical support to Programme Components to ensure the availability of useful, valid and reliable reports and programme performance indicators for Education sector. Each year since twelve years I attend to annual sector review and fields visit in Senegal and others West African countries.

Further ‘more I used to collaborate with other bilateral and multilateral partners,Governement,civil society in the four core partnership in Education: Education for All(EFA),Global Partnership in Education(ex Fast Track Initiative),United Nations Girls Education Initiative(UNGEI) and Education Cluster for Education in Emergency. I am able to promote advocacy and policy dialogue, leveraging the strength of UNICEF mission, goals and programs, to translate strategic directions into plans and objectives and to identify urgent and potentially difficult decisions and acts on them promptly.

That is why, I think modestly, I gained a strong background in design, planning, implementation, management, monitoring, and evaluation of educational development programmes and capacity building projects, human security, Equity and Education in Emergencies (EiE), during twenty four (24) years including twelve years(12) at international level, which could help me to achieve key expected results and additional results.

Moreover, I have a proven ability in strategic and operational planning, monitoring and evaluation, capacity building, leadership, negotiation, representation, networking and communication at grassroots, local, national and international levels.

During my career, I had always developed network stakeholders, mainly with Government authorities and NGO partners and several opportunities to identify, strengthen, and sustain strong relationships with key decisions-makers and civil society organizations
