About the Coalition for Good Schools

The Coalition for Good Schools is a dynamic network of leaders from the Global South who are actively engaged in the global conversation on preventing violence against children (VAC) in schools.

Our mission is to elevate insights, evidence-based programs, and innovations originating from the Global South to provide actionable tools, data, and best practices for sustainable, locally led solutions.

As the global movement to prevent VAC continues to expand, the Coalition sees a pivotal opportunity to further develop this field by and for civil society, highlighting innovations and voices from the Global South. We believe that grounding our work in this perspective will yield fresh and practical solutions, which is why we are committed to building a Global South-led agenda to end VAC in schools.

Communications plays a central role in achieving these goals. The Coalition has previously engaged communications experts to develop initial branding toolkits, web presence, and a suite of communications materials. We are now seeking a highly skilled communications strategist to help refine our messaging, optimize the use of communications tools, and support cross-regional campaigns that elevate VAC in schools as a global priority.
