The purpose of this consultancy is to provide technical support to an International Consultant in conducting a comprehensive assessment of the current program aimed at preventing mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV, HBV, and syphilis in Tajikistan. The assessment will identify strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement to enhance the program's effectiveness and ensure alignment with international best practices.
The Information Management Officer is a core Cluster/Sector Coordination team member. The purpose of this position is to implement, manage and provide technical capacity support and information management systems for the Nutrition Cluster in Sudan. This include managing the collection, analysis, storage and sharing of important information with nutrition cluster participants and stakeholder to make informed (evidence-based) strategic decisions. This will be done through the synthesis of nutrition information and preparation of reports, creation/updating of national and subnational level dashboards, early warning and early action analysis at various levels, preparing updates for regular and strategic sector meetings at national and sub national levels.
Despite the clear benefits, ECEC enrolment rates in BiH remain alarmingly low. Only 42 percent of children aged 3 to 5 participate in early education, and just 59 percent are enrolled in the year before primary school. This limited access is largely due to infrastructural constraints, inadequate investments, and regional disparities, with long waiting lists highlighting the urgent need for expansion.
To address these challenges, this engagement will first support 20 municipalities/cities in conducting a situation analysis and needs assessment for ECEC service expansion. Based on the findings, two municipalities/cities (one in Federation of BiH and one in Republika Srpska) will be selected and supported with this engagement in developing comprehensive ECEC expansion plans, to be further adopted by the local governances. The initiative will prioritize increasing access to ECEC, particularly for marginalized and vulnerable children, by leveraging innovative financing solutions, strengthening policy frameworks, and mobilizing stakeholders to drive sustainable change.
