National Consultant, Mid-Term Review of WASH Gender Landscape Analysis (GALA) Nigeria, Abuja (remote) 3 months Req#594184
|
Nigeria
|
|
| The Government of the Netherlands, through UNICEF, is supporting the Accelerated Sanitation and Water for All (ASWA III) programme across eight countries, including Nigeria. The programme targets improved access to equitable, sustainable WASH services in low-income contexts characterized by limited WASH coverage and poor development outcomes.
The review will examine the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, and early signs of impact of the gender action plans that emerged from the GALA process. It will assess whether these plans remain responsive to the evolving socio-cultural, institutional, and policy context, and whether they are being implemented in ways that address the root causes of gender inequality, rather than only its symptoms. |

Child Protection Reintegration & CP transition International Consultant, Maiduguri, Nigeria (office based) 9 months Req#594191
|
Nigeria
|
|
| The principal objective of the Child Protection AoR in north-east Nigeria is to ensure that child protection services for children, including adolescents, and caregivers most affected by the humanitarian crisis are responsive, efficient, effective and inclusive. The Child Protection AoR (CP AoR) is currently co-led by the Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development (MWASD) and UNICEF. In line with the localization strategy, UNICEF will actively support the transitioning of the CP AoR coordination to the Nigerian government. UNICEF works to support the efforts of the Nigerian Government to provide reintegration services to children and women exiting armed groups and those released from detention in north-east Nigeria. The effective reintegration of children is hindered by the impact of armed conflict on societies, such as the absence of livelihood opportunities, weak economies and markets, and a breakdown of social infrastructure, including schools and health facilities. As part of the efforts to scale up reintegration support to children and women, UNICEF will continue to engage and collaborate with civil society organizations and private sector institutions to support the provision of economic and social reintegration support to vulnerable people, including adolescent girls and women, with interventions that address their specific reintegration needs. These programmes aim to help individuals find their way back into civilian life, thereby reducing the likelihood of a return to violence or criminality and preventing the emergence of future conflicts. |

International Consultant to Support the Royal Government of Cambodia to develop a Royal Decree and a Prakas on social service workforce. Phnom Penh.Cambodia. Inernationals Only.Remote.#594189
|
Cambodia
|
|
| The Royal Government of Cambodia has identified the strengthening of the social service workforce as a key priority to improve the effectiveness, quality, and sustainability of services provided to vulnerable populations, particularly children, women, persons with disabilities, and other at-risk groups. The Ministry of Social Affairs, Veterans and Youth Rehabilitation (MoSVY), through the Technical Working Group on Social Service Workforce Development, has been leading efforts to develop a comprehensive legal and regulatory framework to guide the professionalization, institutionalization, management, and expansion of the social service workforce in Cambodia. However, the efforts meet some challenges and gaps including the absence of a comprehensive legal framework defining the functions, roles, responsibilities, competencies, and professional standards of social workers, as well as the lack of a formal system for registration, licensing, accreditation, and quality assurance of social service professionals. These gaps undermine the Government’s ability to plan, budget, recruit, develop and retain qualified personnel across sectors such as social affairs, health, education, and justice, and limit the capacity of the social service workforce to deliver services that are rights-based, gender-responsive, disability inclusive, and sensitive to the needs of marginalized and at-risk groups. |
