BACKGROUND

UNICEF’s Strategic Plan (2022-2025) recognizes the impact of migration and displacement on children. The Strategic Plan renews the commitment to combat xenophobia and discrimination; ensure access to basic services without discrimination based on a child’s migration status; prevent and mitigate harmful practices like child immigration detention and family separation; and ensure that migrant and displaced children are engaged and empowered to reach their potential. UNICEF’s Child Protection Strategy (2021 – 2030) also recognizes the focus on strengthening gender-sensitive national child protection systems that promote continuity of care for children throughout their migration journey, including in the country of origin, transit, and destination. In line with the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), UNICEF’s Child Protection Strategy reaffirms that the principle of the best interests of the child is a guiding principle for all child protection interventions.
UNICEF South Africa has been implementing a programme entitled as ‘The EU Global Promotion of Best Practices for Children in Migration programme’, funded by the European Union (EU), and co-funded and implemented by a partnership between the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). The overall objective of the programme is to contribute to the effective protection of children on the move and the realization of their rights through child protection systems that provide quality integrated services, alternative care and mental health and psychosocial support. The programme seeks to document and share lessons learnt and best practices towards the use of alternative care options to replace immigration detention. The programme focuses on two regions and four countries: El Salvador and Mexico in Latin America and the Caribbean Region (LACR); and South Africa and Zambia in Eastern and Southern Africa Region (ESAR).
UNICEF South Africa is thus seeking an expert EU Reporting Consultant who will lead the development of the final reporting on programme implementation of the EU Global Promotion of Best Practices for Children in Migration programme, as well as the management response to the final evaluation of the programme and build capacity of implementing partners on donor report.

PURPOSE OF THE ASSIGNMENT

Under the supervision of the Child Protection Manager, the consultant will lead the final reporting on programme implementation in South Africa for the Global Promotion of Best Practices for Children in Migration programme in line with the EU reporting regulations. Further, the consultant will 1) conduct a desk-review of existing donor reports from implementing partners and global reports to identify what information we already have for the EU final report template and external report, and 2) identify what the information gaps are – the consultant may need to ask for additional information from implementing partners to fill the gaps. Finally, the consultant will develop a concept note for fundraising.

SCOPE OF WORK

The consultant will help UNICEF South Africa, in collaboration with the two regions and four countries: El Salvador and Mexico in Latin America and the Caribbean Region (LACR); and South Africa and Zambia in Eastern and Southern Africa Region (ESAR) to develop a final donor report in line with the global EU reporting regulations, UNICEF regional and global reporting frameworks.

1. Conduct a desk review of existing information, identify information gaps and develop a template for collecting missing information
