The objective of this consultancy is to prepare a well-researched but concise background paper (30-40 pages, excluding annexes) providing a comprehensive overview of the MENA region and its countries with special focus on the situation and rights of children and adolescents. This study seeks to provide a comprehensive, evidence-based analysis of the situation of children and adolescents across MENA countries, highlighting achievements, gaps, and priority areas for action in line with international human rights commitments.
The paper will serve as background document for the planning for the new Regional Office (RO) merging the current Regional Offices for MENAR and ECAR (Europe and Central Asia) and for the development of the joint Regional Office Management Plan (ROMP) to be finalized in January 2026. An advanced draft of the document will inform the joint regional Strategic Moment of Reflection in November 2025.
