The Government of Oman, with support from ILO Regional Office of the Arab States (ROAS) and UNICEF Oman, has approved a new comprehensive social protection system. A unified legal framework for all social protection benefits has been established, along with an integrated administration through the Social Protection Fund. The merging of 11 funds into a single national scheme aims to improve equity and sustainability. This new social protection system serves as a model in the region. An upcoming report prepared by the ILO and SPF titled “Inclusive, Lifecycle Social Protection in a Multi-tiered Framework in Oman - Summary report on the comprehensive reform of the social security system” will highlight key aspects of the process and outcome of the reforms.
This assignment will complement previous work of documentation of the Oman reform by focusing on lessons learned through the implementation of the social protection law and highlighting the relevant reforms from a child and family perspective. The assignment will focus as well on identifying emerging priorities including
shock-responsive social protection and integrated care service delivery model to deliver on Oman’s vision to position social protection as a key driver to child and human development and to foster disability inclusion.

The assignment also includes providing technical support and working closely with colleagues to turn the statistical analysis into geo-spatial maps; design tools and templates to support country offices in evidence-based decision making on programmatic and geographic convergence of Unicef supported programmes; and promote the use of data to support child rights advocacy, gender sensitive programming and accountability to affected populations.
