UNICEF works in some of the world's toughest places, to reach the world's most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.
Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.
For every child, _a champion._**
Purpose of Activity/Assignment
The European Child Guarantee, adopted as a Council recommendation in June 2021, aims to break this vicious cycle.
Its objective is to prevent and combat social exclusion by guaranteeing effective access to key services:
childhood education and care, education, healthcare, healthy nutrition, and adequate housing.
The European Child Guarantee is a key deliverable of the European Pillar of Social Rights Action Plan and answers directly to Principle 11 of the Pillar:
Childcare and Support to Children.
The Action Plan proposes a target for the EU to reduce by at least 15 million the number of people at risk of poverty or social exclusion by 2030, including at least 5 million children.
In partnership with the European Commission, UNICEF piloted innovative approaches and models to design and implement services and interventions that reduce the effects of poverty and social exclusion.
The evidence of the piloting phase of the child guarantee in 7 countries (Bulgaria, Spain, Germany, Italy, Croatia, Lithuania, and Greece) testified to how crucial the involvement of the local authorities and actors is.
Local authorities are vital in designing innovative approaches and models to combat social exclusions.
In four out of seven pilot countries (Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Italy), UNICEF has continued the implementation and supported local authorities in designing, implementing, monitoring and evaluating local plans for children to tackle child poverty and social exclusion of children.
The National Action Plan of the Child Guarantee was adopted in October 2023 in Romania and UNICEF is supporting the government and the local authorities to ensure full implementation of the CG at the regional level.
Based on sound theories of change, UNICEF is supporting local authorities in countries mentioned to: a) strengthen the capacity of the Local Authorities (LA) and other relevant stakeholders at the local level to collect data on children, especially the most disadvantaged, b) develop resource mobilisation strategies and leverage resources (EU, State budget, Child Guarantee earmarked funds etc.), c) support coordinated and participatory processes to define, develop and mainstream evidence-based and -informed services and interventions, supported by capacity building, systems strengthening, and community mobilisation measures d) to provide tools and capacity to continuously assess and adapt the implementation, as well as to use as evidence for continuous planning and report for accountability and transparency, using both programmatic and financial monitoring.
Scope of Work
Under the supervision of the ECARO local partnership manager and child protection team, the consultant will document the work done in five European Union countries to reach the most vulnerable through locally integrated services.
The consultant is expected to produce five short documents and one comprehensive document documenting critical interventions in five countries supporting the localised implementation of the European Child Guarantee.
Through concrete examples, the aim is to promote the importance of addressing the territorial solid dimension of child poverty and ensuring a multi-sectoral approach to integrated services and appropriate coordination and monitoring by planning and implementing measures to foster cooperation with regional and local authorities.
