The Learning Passport is a global partnership between UNICEF and Microsoft created to ad-dress the challenges faced by over 30 million children and youth who are displaced or affected by crisis. It aims to help them continue their learning through access to quality education. As part of UNICEF’s pandemic response, the previously developed Learning Passport platform for migrant, refugee and displaced children was expanded to selected countries outside these contexts to mitigate learning loss. The platform is designed to be used by learners, teachers, and parents/caregivers for both learning and teaching purposes. Learning Passport allows us-ers to choose the level of content they are interested in based on their grade or area of spe-cialization. Course materials including curriculums, textbooks and videos and interactive learn-ing materials are planned to be available on the platform.

The duty station will be Cairo, which is a family duty station with a wide range of services (health, education and leisure) and good living conditions. Cairo (and Egypt) has long been a center of the region’s political and cultural life, with high levels of tourism. Like other similar cities, Cairo offers good quality of life in terms of access to shopping centres, banks, medical services, educational facilities, cultural events, etc. The Arab Republic of Egypt has a unique geographical position in Northeast Africa, at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, on the Mediterranean and Red Sea, and its connection to Sub Saharan Africa through the Nile Valley. The country is defined by desert and the Nile, the longest river on Earth. Egypt is bordered by the Gaza Strip and Israel to the northeast, the Gulf of Aqaba to the east, the Red Sea to the east and south, Sudan to the south and Libya to the west. With over 90 million inhabitants, two-thirds of which are below 30 years, Egypt is Africa's third most populous country after Nigeria and Ethiopia and has the highest population in the Arab world's most densely populated areas, especially in greater Cairo, Alexandria and other major cities in the Nile Delta. The country has witnessed significant political and economic changes since 2011. Through this transition, which includes periods of political unrest, the main income sources of the economy have been negatively impacted, particularly in the tourism sector, as well as revenues from the Suez Canal, oil and remittances from Egyptians working abroad, affected by the global economy. However, with the current political stability, tourism is getting improved, and touristic activities are going back to normal. UN staffs are not directly targeted in Egypt and for the most are vulnerable to being in the wrong place at the wrong time. It is recommended to keep dwell time in the immediate vicinity of military, police and other promi-nent official installations to the minimum.
