Objectives
The three distinct program goals are as follows:
Improved economic inclusion of households—for households to increase their contribution to and advantages from markets—to strengthen their participation in local economies
improved dietary status for mothers and children; and
improved health for mothers and children.
The activities of the program are divided into three categories:
WFP-led initiative to boost social protection systems
UNICEF-led effort to boost the health system
Cross-cutting initiatives from both WFP and UNICEF include evidence generation, market participation, and connections to other programs.
The learning component of the CSSP program aims to produce, synthesize, and apply data on the effectiveness of the program’s methods. This segment intends to increase the participation of many stakeholders, such as development partners, civil society, the government, academics, and beneficiaries, in order to foster information sharing, teamwork, evidence-based decision-making, and shared learning. In light of the foregoing, UNICEF is looking for a consultant to help with the creation of pertinent learning materials.
The assignment’s goal is to assist WFP’s programme learning officer in implementing the learning agenda for the child-sensitive social protection program, including the creation and distribution of associated products.
Justification
The CSSP program includes a thorough learning plan as a key element, with the goal of producing top-notch learning materials that highlight the program’s methods and successes. These priceless assets will include mutually beneficial biannual program updates, research papers, progress reports, and success stories. Therefore, the purpose of this consulting is to help the actual application of knowledge and expertise in creating extraordinary products while also assisting in their diffusion, both within UNICEF and among its partners on the outside.
Objectives
- The consultant will collaborate closely with the Gulu UNICEF Zone office teams, the WFP, the MoH, the District Local Governments, the Health, HIV, Nutrition, Social Behavioural Change and Communication Specialists, and AVSI to:
- Support the implementation of the CSSP program’s learning agenda, including the learning roadmap, in close coordination with the WFP, the Gulu Zonal Office, and national subject specialists.
- Organize group learning initiatives, such as the creation and distribution of educational materials.
- Oversee the creation and release of program webpages, ensuring prompt updates, and create high-quality material highlighting important program results and learning in coordination with the WFP program learning officer and UBOS.
- To guarantee that program learnings and recommendations are implemented, support the development and launch of the program learning tracker.
