|
Philippines
|
|
| In 2025, the Department of Budget and Management (DBM), in partnership with the Department of Education (DepEd), the Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) Council, and other key government stakeholders, undertook a comprehensive review of the Programme Convergence Budgeting (PCB) for Early Childhood Development (ECD), now referred to as PCB for Building Early Growth through Integrated Nurturing (PCB BEGIN), with technical support from UNICEF. The review examined the relevance, effectiveness, implementation experience, and institutional arrangements of the PCB mechanism, while assessing its potential to evolve from a coordination platform into a more budgeting strategy for advancing Early Childhood Development outcomes.
To support the Government of the Philippines in advancing these reforms, UNICEF seeks to engage a consultant who will work closely on strengthening the policy, operational, financing, monitoring, and accountability architecture required to sustain inter-agency convergence as an integral component of the country's public financial management system. The consultant will be working in close coordination and with technical oversight from the Department of Education and the ECCD Council, under the strategic oversight of the PCB Steering Committee and the Department of Budget and Management-Fiscal Planning and Reforms Bureau. It will also work closely with other agencies contributing in the PCB implementation such as National Nutrition Council (NNC), Department of Health, Department of Social Welfare and Development, and other while maintaining oversight coordination with DepEd, the ECCD Council, and DBM to ensure coherence with existing nutrition governance and financing reforms. |

Tax Expenditures in Africa: Scale, Equity Impact and Reform Pathways for Children Consultancy, 8 months, Remote, International
|
United States
|
|
| Governments across Africa forgo significant revenue through tax expenditures such as exemptions, deductions, credits, preferential rates and tax holidays. In 32 African countries with available data, these incentives cost at least USD 56 billion annually, equivalent to 2% of GDP and 18% of tax revenue in the median country. Unlike direct spending, tax expenditures are rarely scrutinized, approved, time-limited or evaluated, and little is known about who benefits. Most reported tax expenditures lack a clear policy objective, beneficiary group or sector classification, making their impacts on children and poor households largely invisible at a time of rising fiscal pressure and debt burdens. This assignment will assess the scale, composition and equity implications of tax expenditures across Africa, examine how they are granted and reviewed, identify lessons from reform efforts, and support UNICEF country offices in engaging governments on the issue. |
