THE SOCIAL COMPONENT

OVERVIEW

The Social Component is envisaged to have two overall results:

  • Improvement of the Learning Environment by individual measures

  • Repair & Maintenance concept is functional.

Improvement of the Learning Environment shall be achieved through capacity development of School Management Committees (SMC’s) in participatory design of the classrooms, schoolyards and other school facilities (e.g. sports ground, walls, etc.), activities for improvement of health and child-friendly schools, environment, children’s rights, HIV/AIDS mitigation etc.



A Maintenance and Repair Concept is developed in collaboration with the City Council of Nairobi, and applied to the participating schools. In addition, the overall project activities are harmonized and aligned with other stakeholders in the spirit of the Kenya Education Support Program (KESSP).



APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY

The overall approach of the Social Component is to work within the existing structures and processes established by KESSP, and to support existing institutions (CCN). This approach is based on the recognition of centrality of existing institutions and partners in driving and sustaining the process.  
 



The Int. Consultants Social Team has identified existing partners, prepared terms of reference for the various initiatives, supported capacity building of partners’ teams and generally oversees the process. Where specialized inputs are required, specialist NGOs and/or Local Consultants are recruited to carry out the implementation, whereas the Int. Consultants provides monitoring and backstopping support. The design process itself will be done in close collaboration with the Department of City Education.
