TERMES DE REFERENCE

Titre du projet : Investment Case en Protection sociale

Lieu : Antananarivo – Madagascar

Période : Mars 2016-Septembre 2016

Type de contrat : Consultance

Publication : 22 Février 2016

Date limite : 29 Février 2016

  1. Historique et Contexte

La population malgache est estimée à 22 millions d’habitants parmi lesquels, 76,50% vivent en dessous du seuil de pauvreté dont 54%, en situation de pauvreté extrême. Les données actuelles classent Madagascar au 155ème rang sur 187 en termes d’IDH

La situation de crise vécue par Madagascar depuis 2009 a beaucoup affecté le pays. Ses impacts se font sentir presque dans tous les domaines : politique, socio-économique, culturel et sécuritaire, détérioration de l’application les principes juridiques, les normes sociales et les valeurs culturelles et contribuant de ce fait à l’extrême appauvrissement de la population. La dégradation des conditions de vie de la population, l’insécurité alimentaire, la carence nutritionnelle chronique, l’exclusion sociale, le sous-emploi, les maladies transmissibles, la toxicomanie, les grossesses et mariages précoces et l’insalubrité ont sérieusement fragilisé la population malgache, en général, et les couches vulnérables, en particulier En matière de nutrition, 47% des enfants de moins de 5 ans sont en état de malnutrition chronique. Plus de 50% des ménages sont touchés par des chocs liés au climat et à l’environnement. Le taux de scolarisation est en baisse depuis 10 ans, les taux de consultation des services de santé sont très bas. Et ces privations touchent plus fortement les plus pauvres de la population.

De ce fait les principaux enjeux auxquels l’Etat malgache doit faire face sont le relèvement social, la restauration de la dignité humaine et la participation de tous les efforts de développement.

Considéré comme l’un des défis majeurs des autorités publiques, le recul de la pauvreté à Madagascar nécessite la formulation d’une nouvelle Politique Nationale de la Protection Sociale.

Reconnaissant l’importance stratégique et la nécessité de la mise en place d’une protection sociale convenable, quelques partenaires techniques et financiers avec quelques agences de mise en œuvre portant des intérêts communs sur la protection sociale se sont attelés depuis le mois de mai 2011 pour réfléchir et élaborer la politique nationale de protection sociale sous le leadership du Ministère de la population, de la protection sociale et de la promotion de la femme MPPSPF.

La phase de finalisation de la politique nationale de protection sociale ainsi que la stratégie nationale de la protection sociale a été bousculée bien que le processus d’intégration et de consultation de toutes les parties prenantes ait été initié, et a abouti à une demande d’amélioration conséquente de ces documents. De plus, la question de la budgétisation des actions de protection sociale n’a pas été abordée et elle est souvent l’objet d’interrogations des parties prenantes.

Pour appuyer la section à assurer un accompagnement effectif du MPPSPF dans l’élaboration d’un plaidoyer pour orienter les fonds vers ces actions de protection sociale, il est prévu le recrutement d’un consultant ayant l’expertise pour l’analyse économique du secteur et les implications des investissements en protection sociale au regard de la PNPS

Côte d'Ivoire: Child Protection Specialist (VAC), #97190, P-3, TA, Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire

0
Organization: UN Children's Fund
Country: Côte d'Ivoire
Closing date: 05 Mar 2016

If you are a committed, creative professional and are passionate about making a lasting difference for children, the world's leading children's rights organization would like to hear from you.

For 60 years, UNICEF has been working on the ground in 190 countries and territories to promote children's survival, protection and development. The world's largest provider of vaccines for developing countries, UNICEF supports child health and nutrition, good water and sanitation, quality basic education for all boys and girls, and the protection of children from violence, exploitation, and AIDS. UNICEF is funded entirely by the voluntary contributions of individuals, businesses, foundations and governments.

I. Organizational Context and Purpose for the job

The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does — in programs, in advocacy and in operations. The equity strategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children's rights into action. For UNICEF, equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias or favoritism. To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life — in its social, political, economic, civic and cultural dimensions — her or his rights are violated. There is growing evidence that investing in the health, education and protection of a society's most disadvantaged citizens — addressing inequity — not only will give all children the opportunity to fulfill their potential but also will lead to sustained growth and stability of countries. This is why the focus on equity is so vital. It accelerates progress towards realizing the human rights of all children, which is the universal mandate of UNICEF, as outlined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, while also supporting the equitable development of nations.

II. Job organizational context: The Child Protection Specialist GJP is to be used in Cote d'Ivoire Country Office (CO) where the Child Protection Program is a major or key component of the Country Program (or UNDAF). The Specialist reports to the Chief, Child Protection Section who is at 4.

In particular, the Child Protection Specialist will ensure, under the supervision of the Chief Child Protection, in liaison with the HIV/Adolescents section and the Social Policy/M&E section, the coordination of the VAC Survey preparation, implementation and follow up, and support the CP Programme planning and implementation with regards to M&E and information management systems strengthening.

Côte d'Ivoire: Administrateur (trice) au Programme Elargi de Vaccination (PEV), #96620, NO-B, TA, Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire

Organization: UN Children's Fund
Country: Côte d'Ivoire
Closing date: 05 Mar 2016

L'UNICEF appuie les efforts du Gouvernement dans le domaine de la vaccination des enfants et des femmes enceintes en Côte d'Ivoire. Le Gouvernement de la République de Côte d'Ivoire a demandé et obtenu de GAVI Alliance un soutien au développement de son Programme Elargi de Vaccination à travers le Soutien aux Services de Vaccination (SSV), au Renforcement des Systèmes de Santé (RSS) et à l'introduction de nouveaux vaccins. Ce soutien GAVI a été traduit en activités contenu dans un document appelé feuille de route d'un montant total de près de 8 millions de dollars américains.

En outre, l'UNICEF a été désigné par le Ministère de la Santé et de la Lutte contre le Sida récipiendaire de ce financement GAVI relatif à la feuille de route pour le compte dudit ministère.

Cette fonction de récipiendaire demande à l'UNICEF des efforts supplémentaires pour la gestion des fonds, le suivi et la mise en œuvre de la feuille de route qui consiste en un ensemble d'activités additionnelles de renforcement du PEV de routine sur la période de juillet 2015 à juillet 2016. Ces activités (Approvisionnement, Introduction des nouveaux vaccins, Amélioration de la qualité des données de vaccination, Audits et évaluation financière, Activités de suivi et évaluation) viennent en complément du plan de coopération Côte-d'Ivoire UNICEF.

Le PEV est une intervention à haut impact sur la mortalité infanto juvénile. Il est à l'origine d'une diminution importante de la mortalité infanto juvénile liée aux maladies évitables par la vaccination notamment la rougeole, le tétanos et la quasi éradication de la Poliomyélite.

Côte d'Ivoire: Consultant/e Expert/e National/e - Planification et Budgetisation de la reforme de l'etat civil et la production de donnees d'etat civil, Abidjan

Organization: UN Children's Fund
Country: Côte d'Ivoire
Closing date: 04 Mar 2016

Le Bureau de l'UNICEF Cote d'Ivoire recrute un/e Consultant/e (Expert/e) national/e pour la planification et la budgétisation de la réforme de l'état civil et la production de données d'état civil

1. Historique et Contexte : En Côte d'Ivoire, selon les résultats de l'Enquête Démographique et de Santé 2012 (EDS 2012), 24% des enfants de moins de 18 ans vivant en Côte d'Ivoire ne sont pas déclarés à l'état-civil. Ce taux est de 35% chez les enfants de moins de 5 ans. En outre, l'analyse des données de routine du Ministère d'Etat, Ministère de l'Intérieur et de la Sécurité, sur l'enregistrement des nouvelles naissances au cours des trois dernières années montre que près de la moitié des enfants nés entre 2012 et mai 2014 n'ont pas été déclarés à l'état-civil dans les délais légaux (taux de déclaration des nouvelles naissances de 50% en 2012, 47% en 2013, 51% sur la période janvier-mai 2014). Ainsi, plus de la moitié des naissances enregistrées de 2012 à mai 2014 (54 %) ont été déclarées grâce à des mécanismes dérogatoires (loi spéciale, jugements supplétifs). Le faible taux de déclaration des nouvelles naissances risque d'entraîner une baisse du taux d'enregistrement des naissances dans les années à venir et poser des problèmes d'accès à l'identité pour les enfants non déclarés

2. Justification : Ces différents constats mettent à nu les faiblesses de l'état civil malgré la réelle volonté politique et l'arsenal juridique existant. Par ailleurs, la Côte d'Ivoire ne dispose pas de données statistiques exhaustives et à jour sur l'état civil alors que l'enregistrement des faits d'état-civil notamment les naissances, décès et les mariages, et les données qui en découlent est fondamental pour la promotion des droits des individus, pour la planification du développement et la bonne gouvernance.

Les conséquences du manque du bon fonctionnement des systèmes d'enregistrement des faits d'Etat Civil et des statistiques vitales sont entre autre le manque de données adéquates pour le suivi des objectifs de développement tels que ceux des Objectifs du Millénaire pour le développement, le manque de données démographiques adéquates pour la planification nationale ventilées, l'incapacité à établir des systèmes sécurisés d'identité des personnes, le manque de registres d'état civil fiables pour valider les listes électorales dans les pays et, finalement, l'insuffisance des systèmes de gouvernance.

C'est pourquoi, en vue de mettre en œuvre les engagements de la Cote d'Ivoire dans le cadre du programme Régional Africain pour le CRVS, et plus récemment les recommandations issues de la dernière rencontre des Ministres africains en charge de l'Etat Civil, le Ministère d'Etat, Ministère de l'Intérieur et de la Sécurité (MEMIS) avec l'appui technique et financier de l'UNICEF et de la BAD, lance un appel à candidature pour le recrutement d'un expert national en planification et budgétisation.

En adhérant à la Convention relative aux droits de l'enfant, le Gouvernement de Cote d'Ivoire s'est engagé à garantir une identité légale pour chaque enfant né sur le territoire national.

3.

The role

Particularly in refugee situations, the risks of malnutrition, illness and death are significant and heightened in children under two years of age who are not breastfed, and in infants under six months of age who are not exclusively breastfed.

Save the Children is the world's leading independent organisation for children. We work in 120 countries. We save children's lives; we fight for their rights; we help them fulfil their potential.

We work together, with our partners, to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives.

We have over two million supporters worldwide and raised 1.9 billion dollars last year to reach more children than ever before, through programmes in health, nutrition, education, protection and child rights, also in times of humanitarian crises.

Following a major transition, our international programmes are now delivered through a merged operation with c15,000 staff, managed through seven regional hubs and reporting to a relatively small, central office.
