UNICEF commissioned multi-country Behavioural and Social Drivers (BeSD) surveys which have generated a rich body of evidence across diverse contexts, providing insights into vaccine confidence, access barriers, social norms, and service delivery challenges. However, there remains a critical need to translate this evidence into high-quality, accessible knowledge products that can inform global and country-level policy, programming, and practice.

Sri Lanka currently lacks a unified, digital, and continuously updated information system to manage preschool data. Existing preschool data are fragmented, manually collected, and inconsistently updated across provinces, limiting their usefulness for planning, monitoring, and policy formulation. The Preschool Census is intended to establish a national baseline dataset covering all preschools and preschool units nationwide. This initiative will support the implementation of national education reforms and the National Pre‑Primary Policy by enabling evidence‑based planning, equitable resource allocation, and monitoring of preschool education services. To support this effort, the Ministry of Education, with support from UNICEF, seeks to engage an individual consultant/contractor to design, develop, deploy, and operationalize a National Preschool Census Information System, including mechanisms for annual updates of selected data fields, data quality assurance, and long‑term system sustainability. The consultant will work with the Ministry of Education's statistics branch to design, develop, deploy, and implement a secure, scalable, and user-friendly information system for collecting data on preschools in Sri Lanka, based on the Preschool Census framework, and to establish mechanisms for regular annual updates of key data elements.
