Description

–>

UNICEF Romania conducted in the last couple of years several social inclusion projects which integrated strong components of data collection and use of data which assisted tailored, integrated case management. At the same time, digitalization of various tools – mobile applications for outreach workers, platforms aggregating data useful for decision-makers at various levels, etc. – was also prioritized. From increasing coordination and efficiency of integrated community work to evidence-based local development plans, such initiatives proved to be not only relevant but also extremely instrumental in addressing social exclusion of the most vulnerable. As such, after an initial testing phase, such tools, and practices (i.e., Aurora, Primero) were scale-up up at national level.

While there is a solid track record of positive experiences, the agenda for generating and using digital data and tools in the benefit of the most vulnerable is yet under development and many opportunities are still to be explored.  In this sense, UNICEF is looking for specific technical assistance to complement work of UNICEF Child Protection Specialists and counterparts at national or local level.

The generic task of the consultancy is to contribute with:

  • Practical assistance for designing data collection (processes and tools) related to social services workforce and to localizing social inclusion policies, with a particular focus on the Child Rights Strategy and Child Guarantee;
  • Technical assistance for designing and implementation of monitoring and evaluation digital tools to be used in the national roll-out of the Minimum Package of Services and EU Child Guarantee, including inter-operability with other relevant digital tools and systems;
  • Support for knowledge management and evidence-based advocacy on data regarding situation of children (with special focus on the most vulnerable ones) and around online tools and systems developed, tested and scale-up in the benefit of children;
  • Collaborate with partners, Communication and Communication for Development colleagues and experts to ensure development of effective communication materials and strategies – including presentations in international conferences, academic or scientific articles, etc. – to promote solutions for generation and using data and tools in the benefit of children.
To qualify as an advocate for every child you will have:
