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.

In response, UNICEF has implemented an emergency response while supporting recovery and strengthening national systems. High-quality, timely evidence and evaluation are essential to ensure programmes remain effective, accountable, and responsive to the evolving needs of children.

The purpose of this assignment is to strengthen disaster risk financing (DRF) systems for social sectors in selected Pacific
Island Countries (Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu) by improving the capacity of governments and
partners to mobilize and deliver financial resources effectively to protect children and essential services during shocks.
The consultancy will support UNICEF Pacific Multi-Country Office (MCO) to enhance its role as a strategic partner in DRF
by working closely with Ministries of Finance and line ministries responsible for education, health & nutrition, child
protection, WASH, and social protection to strengthen the integration of social sectors within DRF frameworks. This

providing targeted technical support and initial capacity-building to ensure that financial resources translate into timely
and effective support for children.
The assignment will further contribute to elevating the role of social sectors within national DRF approaches, ensuring
that financing mechanisms explicitly account for the protection of essential services and the needs of children in disaster
contexts.
In parallel, the consultancy will facilitate engagement with key regional and international partners, including PCRIC, the
World Bank, the Asian Development Bank (ADB), and the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat (PIFS), to align UNICEF’s work
with broader DRF initiatives and promote coordinated, multi-sectoral approaches.
Finally, the consultancy will contribute to the development of donor-ready proposals and a UNICEF DRF roadmap,
ensuring that country-level engagement and systems improvements are translated into actionable strategies,
strengthened partnerships, and resource mobilization opportunities to better protect children from disaster impacts.
