Exciting consultancy opportunity to support the Ministry of Community Development and Social Services (MCDSS) to harmonize existing case management tools being used at district and community levels by District Social Welfare officers (DSWOs), Community Development Assistants (CDAs) and Community Welfare Assistance Committees (CWACs) as well as different Non-government Organisations in the provision of child welfare and protection services. This is aimed at harmonizing the case management tools to ensure uniformity of data collection to support assessments, planning and referrals. Once harmonized, the tools will be endorsed by the government, rolled out to all districts. The standardised paper-based system will later be used to customize the national CPIMS + platform to manage information on child protection cases including Child Marriage, Violence Against Children, Circumstantial Children, Children in conflict with the Law, migrant and refugee children and Children in Alternative care at national, provincial, district and community levels. In addition, the assignment will aim to develop a case management quality assessment framework designed for the MCDSS and partners to evaluate the effectiveness, efficiency, and impact of a standard case management system in child protection service provision.
UNICEF Pacific is in search of a dedicated and proactive international Consultant. The consultancy is for a period of 265 days spread over 12 months. The international consultant will be based in Solomon Islands MHMS in Honiara, Solomon Islands for the duration of the assignment with frequent in-country field missions.
