Technical Consultant to prepare a regional analytical report on violence against children

The report will consider regional trends (last 5-10 years) in the context of the existing international child protection policy frameworks and the specific regional child protection agenda, and consider available data, in addition to TransMonEE, from violence against women and VAC surveys and other data sources, as well as contextual information derived from child protection authorities and systems, VAC coordinating mechanisms and other relevant national bodies and stakeholders.

The product will be an analytical report card that can be used by regional partners, national governments, academia and civil society actors in priority setting and decision-making, international and national child protection policies and programmes and in achieving better outcomes for the concerned children.

• Identification of promising/good practices of VAC/VAW information management systems and surveys
