The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) are looking to identify and contract a supplier/partner to lead the design, and implementation, of a multi country programme "Improving Access to Education and Quality of Learning for Deaf Children and Young People in the Pacific" (the Activity) to improve access and quality education for deaf children in the Pacific. The Activity has a budget of NZ$5.6 million over 5 years. This investment looks to spark a step-change to improving education quality, access, and management for deaf children in the Cook Islands, Fiji, Niue, Tonga, and Vanuatu, while also targeting improved regional coordination mechanisms across the Pacific.

The Activity is part of a wider programme called the Inclusive Education Programme (IEP). The goal of the IEP is that all deaf children across the Pacific receive an equitable education and have the same opportunities to reach their full potential in education. In line with the IEP goal the Activity will look for contextual solutions in the Cook Islands, Fiji, Niue, Tonga and Vanuatu and advocate for Pacific-led, Pacific approaches to Inclusive Education so that Pacific governments deliver high quality education and learning for deaf children and support all deaf children to access quality education.
