UNICEF Moldova is hiring a Programme Associate at GS-6 level, to support the Child Protection section.
Minimum Requirements: Completion of secondary education; Minimum six years of administrative or clerical work experience; Fluency in Romanian and intermediate knowledge of English.

The Personal Assistance Service (PAS) is an important tool for social inclusion, enabling persons with disabilities to live independently and participate actively in community life, in line with the provisions of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), which the Republic of Moldova ratified in 2010. Currently, the regulatory framework governing the organization and functioning of the PAS is defined by Law No. 60/2012 on the social inclusion of persons with disabilities and Government Decision No. 314/2012 approving the Framework Regulation on the organization and functioning of the PAS, together with the Minimum Quality Standards. However, the existing modalities for employing personal assistants and delivering the service do not adequately meet real needs, resulting in inequities in coverage, quality, and financial sustainability. While the number of beneficiaries has steadily increased in recent years, the human and financial resources allocated have not evolved proportionally to demand. The Ministry of Labour and Social Protection (MLSP) intends to revise and improve the contracting and delivery framework of the PAS to ensure a more equitable, flexible, and needs oriented system. This will include differentiating levels of support and exploring alternative financing and contracting mechanisms, with the ultimate goal of strengthening inclusion and improving the quality of life for persons with disabilities. The consultant, in coordination with the financial expert, shall prepare legislative recommendations and costing scenarios for the revision of contracting and delivery modalities of the Personal Assistance Service.
UNICEF Moldova is hiring a National Individual Consultant to develop a comprehensive analytical review and a set of operational and legislative recommendations for revising the contracting and delivery modalities of the PAS. The review will analyse current practices, identify gaps, and propose feasible, costed, and legally viable alternatives to improve equity, efficiency, and sustainability of the service.
The purpose of this consultancy is to support the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection in preparation, coordination and finalization of the combined sixth and seventh periodic report of the Republic of Moldova to the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child, in response to the List of Issues Prior to Reporting (LOIPR) transmitted by the Committee.
