Nepal: – monitoring program Consultant to strengthen child protection
Organization: UN Children's Fund
Country: Nepal
Closing date: 12 Jul 2013
Asia NGO Jobs Vacancies For 60 years, UNICEF has been working on the ground in 190 countries and territories to promote children's survival, protection and development. The world's largest provider of vaccines for developing countries, UNICEF supports child health and nutrition, good water and sanitation, quality basic education for all boys and girls, and the protection of children from violence, exploitation, and AIDS.
UNICEF Regional Office for South Asia is currently seeking a competent consultant to work as Consultant – Strengthening Child Protection programme monitoring for a total period of five months.
Background/Context
In 2010 UNICEF launched its refocus on equity to ensure that UNICEF is as effective as possible in the protection and promotion of children’s rights. At the core of this is the monitoring of results for equity system (MoRES). MoRES provides a platform for strengthening the situation analysis, strategic programming, decentralized monitoring and managing for results to achieve the desired outcomes for the most disadvantaged and hardest to reach children. A key component of MoRES implementation is the identification of bottlenecks and barriers to effective systems, services and positive practices, the development of strategies to address these in relation to demand, supply, the enabling environment and quality and finally and importantly, the implementation of real time monitoring linked to programmatic improvement and adjustment.
MoRES consists of four levels of monitoring and feedback all of which provides the basis upon which sound evaluations can be planned:
• Level 1 – situation analysis, strategic planning and programme development
• Level 2 – monitoring agency specific programme implementation
• Level 3 – periodic decentralized/desegregated monitoring of intermediate outcomes
• Level 4 – monitoring final outcomes and impact
With the roll out of MoRES globally and its mainstreaming into regular programming, UNICEF Regional Office for South Asia (ROSA) has been supporting Country Offices (COs) in the implementation of MoRES, particularly supporting the roll out of level three monitoring as described above. This support is based on enhancing the underlying monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system within UNICEF Country Offices (COs). With regard to child protection, so far three COs have worked on implementing level three monitoring in relation to specific issues: Bangladesh (birth registration and child marriage), Nepal (child protection services) and Pakistan (birth registration). Other countries are in the early stages of applying MoRES and particularly level three monitoring in child protection. In line with ROSA’s strategy regarding roll out of MoRES (October 2012) and to strengthen programme monitoring, additional technical support to COs is required in relation to child protection.
Goal/Objective
The main objective is to provide technical support to COs in strengthening programme monitoring, particularly level three monitoring, with a focus on indicator and tool development, interpreting and analysing data and exchange of good practices and lessons across the region.
Terms of Reference/Work Relationship
Under the general guidance of the Regional Advisor Child Protection the consultant will:
• Develop a work plan for 5 months.
• Stock take, map and document where COs are with regard to level three monitoring and CP.
• Keeping in mind that COs are all at different stages regarding the implementation of level three monitoring, provide support to COs in the implementation of level three monitoring, including:
• The level three monitoring related tasks will also take into account specific requests received from COs, as follows:
Output - Results (Deliverables)
The consultancy will initially be for 5 months (1 August – 31 December 2013). The consultant will be paid on a monthly basis based on the submission of a monthly report of activities undertaken and progress made towards the objective.
Proposed Fee schedule for payment
The consultant will be paid on a monthly basis based on the submission of a monthly report of activities undertaken and progress made towards the objective.
Working Conditions
The consultant will be based in Kathmandu, Nepal. Given UNICEF ROSA’s temporarily relocation, workspace and desk cannot be guaranteed throughout the period of the assignment and the consultant may be required to work from his/her location in Kathmandu. UNICEF will provide the consultant with a computer. The consultant will be responsible for his/her own medical and other relevant insurance.
In case the consultant will be coming from outside Nepal, DSA according to the UN rate will be provided for the first 10 days and travel expenses from the home country to and from Kathmandu will be covered by UNICEF, according to the most direct and cheapest route.
The consultant will travel within the South Asia region if and when required.
How to apply:
Qualification

Nepal: Testa di residente e del coordinatore umanitario Office & consulente strategico di pianificazione (P-5)
Organization: UN Development Programme
Country: Nepal
Closing date: 05 Jul 2013
Asia NGO Jobs Vacancies Background:Nepal continues to exist in a critical transition phase after a decade long internal conflict claiming more than 16,000 lives. The signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) in Nov 2006 brought a halt to the immediate violence; however there are still many issues to be resolved and new threats to peace are emerging as Nepal proceeds in consolidating its peace process. Threats to peace are no longer just a matter of returning to a situation of armed conflict. They also come from the lack of progress in restoring law and order, and in meeting people’s aspirations for a greater political voice, broader social and economic inclusion, and better access to resources, jobs and services, as well as tensions between emerging identity based political actors and frustrations with the lack of progress on federalism. Making peace last requires translating political momentum, and the progressive principles enshrined in the CPA, into real, tangible changes in the daily lives of people. There is considerable pressure to ensure this happens urgently, if the gap between expectations and concrete results is not to widen and public confidence in the peace process and the political parties is not to falter. The Constituent Assembly was dissolved in May 2012, bringing the Constitution making process to a halt. After a period of significant uncertainty and volatility, an interim government of sorts was established in the beginning of 2013 with a specific mandate to guide the country through elections later this year and/or in 2014, both for a Constituent Assembly/Parliament Legislature as well as possibly for local bodies. Considering the importance of these elections and the ensuing issues the elected bodies will have to deal with – including the finalization of the drafting of a new Constitution -, it is expected that the months leading up to these elections, the election itself and the months following are likely to witness tension rising across the country.
The UN plays an important role in Nepal’s transition; however, previous major UN peace-building mechanisms have withdrawn (UNMIN departed Nepal in January 2011, OHCHR in the second quarter of 2012 and OCHA is phasing out). Residual responsibilities have been assumed by an integrated Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator’s Office (RCHCO) which has an expanded number of staff in Kathmandu and a network of three Field Coordination Offices (FCOs) which are piloting a new approach to managing such transitions through the Transition Support Strategy (TSS). The TSS aims at strengthening the UN Country Team (UNCT) and the UN system’s capacity to: provide peace building support and address emerging peace building challenges; strengthening the attention to the long term development dimensions of the peace process; and maintaining a flexible humanitarian and development response capability to respond to crises that could risk de-stabilizing the peace process. In addition to serving the UNCT, it serves the wider donor community and the government with a wide range of products and services.
The UNCT and the Government of Nepal signed an UNDAF in September 2012. Its implementation has just started and is expected to run till end 2017. The country analysis that preceded the UNDAF was centred on the concept of vulnerability and its underlying root-causes. The UNDAF that followed is built around ways in which to address such root-causes with a clear aim at improving the lives of Nepal’s most vulnerable population groups. Some of the UNDAF outcomes are innovative and challenging, in particular as they cut across agencies’ and ministerial mandates and focus on people rather than on sectors. One example of this is an outcome that will attempt to deal with discrimination and stigma. Efforts in the years ahead will be in maintaining this focus on addressing root-causes of vulnerability, ensuring close cooperation between UN agencies to do so, and ensuring that the governance mechanisms established to support the UNDAF implementation continue to operate effectively and efficiently. Each of the seven outcome areas will have an outcome coordinator who will have a double reporting line, including one to the head of the RCHCO. The RCHCO itself has, on an interim basis, been given the role of being the outcome coordinator for the outcome that deals with rule of law and outcome 10 that deals with Nepal’s integration with the rest of the world.
The expanded office has about 35 staff at the moment (about half in the field and half in Kathmandu), though its structure, set-up, and number of staff are likely to change in the months to come.
Description of Responsibilities :Summary of Key Functions:• Managing the RCHCO• Planning and implementing the Transition Support Strategy• Planning and implementing the UNDAF governance structure, M&E framework and fundraising strategy• Managing coordination processes• Coordinating outcome area 4 of the UNDAF (Rule of Law)• Advocacy• Common Services and Common PremisesManaging the RCHCO• Coordinate all activities emanating from the RCHCO, set priorities, develop the annual work-plan and ensure follow up and feedback.• Ensure contractual issues and budgets are well managed.• Actively manage performance of all staff in the RCHCO and support strong cooperation and synergies between different units and offices, between Kathmandu and the field, and between international and national staff.• Manage the Field Offices and in particular ensure a strong linkage between the Field Offices and Kathmandu based staff.• Manage and coordinate the preparation of the RC Annual Report, contribute to the drafting of this document and ensure the participation and involvement of all agencies in the process.
