About UNICEF
If you are a committed, creative professional and are passionate about making a lasting difference for children, the world’s leading children’s rights organization would like to hear from you. For 70 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 is funded entirely by the voluntary contributions of individuals, businesses, foundations, and governments. UNICEF has over 12,000 staff in more than 145 countries.
BACKGROUND
The lack of available and comparable data on violence against children (VAC) is because there are no common or uniform recommended operational definitions for the various forms of VAC that countries can use to guide their measurement efforts. As a result, the International Classification of Violence against Children (ICVAC) was developed by UNICEF and endorsed by the United Nations Statistical Commission in March 2023. The ICVAC includes operational definitions of all forms of violence against children and covers interpersonal and collective violence, both in times of peace and during internal or international armed conflict. The classification provides countries with a tool to assess the extent to which their national definitions and data collection efforts comply with internationally agreed standards. It will also support countries to ensure that data collection efforts produce comparable data.
The Child Protection and Development (CPD) Unit within the Data and Analytics Section is leading the roll out of the ICVAC and requires a consultant to draft the tools and guidance materials that will support countries in its implementation.
Purpose of Activity/Assignment:
The consultant will develop materials for the roll out of the International Classification of Violence against Children (ICVAC). This will involve finalizing the ICVAC Implementation Manual, developing training materials, supporting countries, contributing to the development of tools, and preparing case studies, technical notes, and advocacy materials.
Scope of Work:
The current scope of work includes supporting the preparation of guidance materials and tools for the implementation of ICVAC. The Child Protection and Development (CPD) Unit within the Data and Analytics Section is leading the roll out of the ICVAC and requires a consultant to draft the tools and guidance materials that will support countries in its implementation.
