PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE PILOT PROJECT OF EDUCATION IN EMERGENCY FOR VENEZUELAN MIGRANTS AND REFUGEES IN ECUADOR

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (ABSTRACT)

After World War II, the humanitarian needs across the world are increasing because of war, natural disaster, or humanitarian crises. Under this crisis, the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is created to help save lives and rebuild futures by providing the population in distress with clean water, food, legal aid, education, and shelter.

Nowadays, the humanitarian crises in Venezuela have deployed a mass migration from Venezuela on a large scale, where one of the main children’s right is violated; more specifically: education. Therefore, a process of education in emergency must be deployed in the host countries to allow children to have access to quality education that would increase their possibilities for having access to a better life.

Under this consideration, this Final Graduation Project's general objective is to develop a project management proposal to establish access for Venezuelan migrants and refugee children in Ecuador to safe and quality primary education.

The specific objectives of the project are: to identify Venezuelan children that are outside the education system or at risk of dropping out of primary school to distribute information on how to access primary education in Ecuador, to distribute information and assistance for Venezuelan families on how to access primary education in Ecuador to establish access to safe and quality primary education, to implement a play center and school leveling center for Venezuelan migrants and refugee children that were outside the Venezuela education system to integrate into the Ecuadorian education system, to train public officials from educational districts, on educational inclusion processes and the right of education to generate integration on primary education, to distribute cash transfers to reduce school dropout in the Ecuadorian education system, and to generate a communication campaign to explain the benefits of primary education for migrants and refugees.

For this project, the primary information sources were original documents like surveys and focus groups. And it was complemented by secondary information sources like websites, journal articles, books, and documentaries. 

Different types of approaches were used depending on the specific objective thatwas developed. The methods used were the analytical method, statistical method, and synthetic method. And they were complemented with different types of tools from data gathering, data analysis, data representation, decision-making, communication and interpersonal team tools.

We could conclude that the Management Project Plan developed in this document would take a step forward in the design of projects with the incorporation of the PMBOK ® methodology Guide.

Every component of this study was geared towards ensuring that the pilot project of education in emergency for Venezuelan migrants and refugees in Ecuador could be executed with the expected results. It contributes to the social and economic integration of Venezuelan migrants and refugees to the Ecuadorian society.

Likewise, to successfully implement the pilot, it was recommended to keep track of the power and influence of new organizations that are part of the humanitarian context in Ecuador.

In fact, it was recommended that the profile of the families that would be supported throughout this project should be taking in consideration for the implementation of pilot. Additionally, developing a vulnerability criteria analysis, to disaggregate the reasons to migrate.

Finally, it was recommended to incorporate more cash transfers in the implementation of social integration like education for migrants and refugees because it allows an economic integration and independence from humanitarian aid.
