Purpose of Activity/Assignment:
The objective of this consultancy is to enhance the capacity of the RMPS and of their focal points in the Regional Offices (ROs) to support more efficiently Country Offices (COs) in reviewing ESS-related documents submitted by country offices, ensuring compliance with World Bank requirements and the Entity’s internal ESS policies, and providing recommendations to strengthen the quality of submissions and of their subsequent implementation.
It is anticipated that there are three key technical areas of work under this consultancy:
- Quality assurance of ESS-related documents developed by 11 Country Offices (COs), and technical assistance to country offices in the preparation of relevant ESS components.
- Analysis of the documentation provided by COs and/or ROs and development of generic ESS and Safeguarding Risk mitigation strategies according to the type of activities.
- Development of a concise guide for the RMPS unit to adopt in the support of CO and/or ROs in quality assurance of the risk management technical area as part of the IFI financial contributions (design, implementation and monitoring of ESS/Safeguarding instruments) from an ESS/Safeguarding perspective.
The consultant will also ensure better alignment of the RMPS’s work with other risk areas within the risk management framework including AAP and data protection and support ESS/Safeguarding compliance across programmes and operations.
The Risk Management in Programming and Safeguarding Unit (RMPS) is expected to manage this consultancy in close coordination and collaboration with other relevant units within DAPM and other stakeholders as needed
The Senior Quality Assurance Associate is responsible for strengthening the quality of processes within the GSSC, to ensure that services are performed efficiently, continuous quality improvement is in place, and processes are in compliance with UNICEF policies, procedures and internal standard operation procedures (SOPs).
The consultant is required to review and finalize the training guidelines and package, ensuring that they align with identified needs. Additionally, the consultant will develop a comprehensive implementation plan to inform the rollout of Lead4PHC nation-wide, and more specifically in additional districts of Kigoma region as well as in Katavi, Songwe, Dar es Salaam and Mtwara regions.

The purpose of this assignment is to assist in development and implementation of a child-centered Disaster Risk Reduction (CCDRR) model in schools in selected municipalities/cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), guided by the principles and priorities of The Comprehensive School Safety Framework (CSSF) 2022-2030. The consultant will work closely with four schools in BiH to enhance their capacities and empower them to better prepare for and respond to disasters. A central focus of the assignment is to ensure children actively lead and participate in risk identification, planning, and implementation of activities that strengthen disaster preparedness and resilience within their schools. The developed CCDRR model should inform further scale up and the DRR strategic planning on all levels of governance in BiH. As such, it should serve as a model for the roll out of the CSSF in BiH.
