DUTY STATION: Delhi with travel to specified states/ selected districts as required

DURATION OF CONSULTANCY: Approximately 4.5 months – (mid August 2018 – 31 December 2018)

CLOSING DATE: 23 July 2018

Background:

HIV/AIDS is a significant contributor to mortality among adolescents 10-19 worldwide. In fact, the number of AIDS-related deaths among adolescents aged 10 -19 has doubled in the past 15 years as children who acquired HIV through MTCT who are either not on ART or fall out of care, have progressed to AIDS. The profile of adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV) differs across the regions. In Sub-Sahara Africa the majority of ALHIV were infected via vertical (mother-to-child) transmission. In Asia, Central Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Middle East and North Africa, HIV infections among adolescents are driven by unsafe sexual behaviours and needle exchange. The few studies that include adolescents from low and concentrated HIV epidemic countries, especially outside of sub-Sahara Africa, suggest that HIV prevalence is disproportionately high among adolescent “key populations,” that include (a) adolescents who inject drugs, (b) gay and bisexual adolescent boys, (c) transgender adolescents and (d) adolescents who sell sex, including children (aged 10 - 17) exploited through the selling of sex.

National and sub-national data systems rarely provide the age- and sex-disaggregated data required to define the different needs of adolescents in the 10-14 and 15-19 year age groups. Yet it is clear that there are gaps in access, and variable quality of services for adolescents in many settings. Lack of health care provider skills in working with adolescents, age of consent laws, high levels of HIV- stigma, including in health care settings and schools, and inadequate youth focused health education and communication all contribute to limited access to information and services to prevent HIV infections, and to access treatment among adolescents. UNAIDS’ 2015 global estimates indicate that new HIV infections have plateaued at 2.1 million a year over the last 5 years in the total population, and declined only 7% (from 270 thousand to 250 thousand) in adolescents 15-19 years: clearly, progress on preventing new infections in adolescents and adults is insufficient. Investment in primary HIV prevention has focused on PMTCT and medical male circumcision, and increasingly on HIV treatment for prevention, whereas other components of “combination prevention” are not adequately supported and have not been sufficiently scaled up. In all regions, HIV disproportionally affects some of the most vulnerable and socially excluded populations who are key to halting the spread of the epidemic. In 88 out of 159 countries, more than half of all the estimated new infections are among key populations.

Effective responses require a solid understanding of the epidemiologic factors and structural drivers of the epidemic in addition to both the supportive and harmful laws and policies. It also requires policy makers and service providers to have the skills and relationships of trust to include key populations safely in planning and delivery of services for their own health and welfare. Demographic trends are producing a dramatic increase in the numbers of children and adolescents living in regions most affected by HIV. As the population of these younger age groups continues to increase, the sexual and reproductive health knowledge and behaviour of adolescents today will define the scale of the epidemic in the future. In the absence of scaled up effective sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services and prevention interventions, new HIV infections and AIDS-related deaths will increase at an unprecedented rate among this age group. The sheer numbers of youth in Asia, nearing 600 million, demand expanded and sustained responses. Such demographic shifts pose significant challenges to national health systems and signal the need for urgent action to prepare for the expected increase in demand for prevention and treatment services.

UNICEF, UNAIDS and partners launched the ALL IN Agenda aimed at reducing new HIV infections among adolescents by 75% and AIDS related deaths by 65% by 2020 targeting 25 countries globally including India. As part of the “All In” Initiative, UNICEF ICO RCH Section in collaboration with NACO/MOHFW will undertake a targeted three phase country assessment will be conducted to inform adolescent programme improvement and development.

The three cosequitive phases of support include: a) An initial phase of disaggregated data analysis on HIV/AIDs profile among adolescents; b) Based on the findings of the data analysis report support national round tables with national technical group on adolescents to identify critical bottlenecks and c) Support key interventions on adolescent HIV/AIDs prevention and treatment formulated through the clinical roundtables to be incorporated into national HIV/AIDs planning.

Phase one of the assessment was conducted with the technical support of a consultant from Jan to April 2018. It included country assessment process to undertake an equity- based analysis of demographic and HIV epidemiological information on adolescents including adolescent key population groups, and relevant cross-sectoral programmes about adolescents to strengthen adolescent component of the national HIV programme. Based on the findings of the phase one dashboard and indicator analysis, it is now required that Phase 2 and 3 of the assessments are undertaken to bring the assessment to a logical conclusion. The phase 2 would involve national round tables and with key stakeholders and discussions with state to identify critical and support the synthesis of the findings and corrective actions for evidence informed planning and monitoring. This phase of the country assessment would harmonize decision and outputs from phase 2 and 3 into a multisectoral plan for adolescents and HIV, and facilitate development of plans to improve programme implementation at sub national level.

Therefore, services of a National Level consultants are required to undertake the Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the Adolescent All in Assessment, to support NACO in developing a multisectoral integrated National Level Action Plan for Adolescent HIV.

PURPOSE :

To undertake in-depth analysis of bottlenecks affecting coverage of Priority HIV interventions at National Level and in priority geographical locations identified in Phase 1 and to support Evidence informed planning to accelerate corrective actions to address bottlenecks, data gaps, and improve intervention coverage, quality and impact.

CLOSING DATE FOR APPLICATION SUBMISSION: 2400 Hours IST on 12th August, 2018

As per National Disaster Management Authority NDMA, India is vulnerable, in varying degrees, to a large number of disasters. More than 58.6 per cent of the landmass is prone to earthquakes of moderate to very high intensity; over 40 million hectares (12%) of its land is prone to floods and river erosion; close to 5,700 kms, out of the 7,516 kms long coastline is prone to cyclones and tsunamis; 68% of its cultivable area is vulnerable to droughts; and, its hilly areas are at risk from landslides and avalanches. Moreover, India is also vulnerable to Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) emergencies and other man-made disasters.

While India is at high risk of disasters, it is also a fast growing, middle income country with government hugely conscious of its image and capacity to respond to disasters. Government has strong response capacities (potential), but resilience of social sector services and the rights and needs of children remain largely unaddressed. Government is amenableto seek external assistance in the form oftechnical support, for planning,monitoring, coordination etc.Significant opportunity for engagement with Government to strengthen Emergency Preparedness for Response within the wider approach of risk informed programming remains underutilized, particularly for sectoral preparedness and post disaster recovery of social sector service delivery systems.

At broader level, UNICEF works on risk informed programming, within it, more specifically on preparedness based on the understanding that disasters linked to geological and hydro-meteorological phenomena disproportionally impact children, social sector service delivery systems hence adversely impacting programme results for children and their care-givers. Disaster and climate risk aspects are therefore well reflected in UNICEF’s Strategic Intervention Codes (SIC). UNICEF is also signatory to the United Nations Plan of Action on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) for Resilience. In India, UNICEF’s efforts are complemented by other agencies’ engagements and UN-wide action as part of the UN Disaster Management Team (UNDMT). The United Nations Sustainable Development Framework (UNSDF) for India integrates one outcome[1] on DRR. Against this backdrop UNICEF India Country Office has been engaging both at its Delhi and 13 States Offices in DRR and climate change adaptation as well as risk informed programming. Both Delhi DRR Section and an increasing number of UNICEF state offices have developed and rolled-out distinct child-centred DRR measures to support Governments at various levels. UNICEF India Country Office has just completed its Emergency Preparedness for Response planning under the new EPR procedure[2]. As per the minimum preparedness standards outlined in the Emergency Procedure, ICO has to take minimum preparedness actions to maintain benchmark level of readiness for response. At the core of ICO Emergency Preparedness for Response (EPR) strategy is provision of Technical Assistance (core ICO strategy) to governmental partners and selected NGOs to ensure that:

Beyond preparedness, as a technical partner UNICEF supports both national and state Governments on child centred disaster risk reduction through technical assistance to state and district authorities to strengthen system for disaster risk governance. Review of district and state disaster management plans, formulation of 15 year DRR roadmaps (multi-hazard, multi-sectoral), formation of health action plans are some of the many structured initiatives that UNICEF has supported in the recent past.

UNICEF is trying to build a pool of pre-qualified high-caliber candidates to be hired as ‘DRR Consultants’, from which UNICEF country office and different state offices can quickly select and fill a requirement through a faster contracting process as soon as a need is identified.

Candidates who meet the required qualifications and experience are invited to apply following which a desk review of their skills and experience will be done to determine whether they qualify for the DRR Roster. The process will ensure all candidates in a DRR Roster Group are evaluated prior to recommendation for a specific consultancy opportunity. Successful candidates will be notified and placed in a DRR Roster Group for a four (4)year period. However, engagement of identified consultants for specific assignments would be as per the terms and conditions specified in the contract entered into.

The Roster of DRR Consultants, once in place, will allow DRR colleagues to select three or more potential candidates from the roster for further appraisal and selection of one candidate, rather than going through a formal advertisement process for each consultancy assignment.Ideally, this will expedite the placement of consultants (both short term and long term) and also provide the supervisor the scope to choose from a vast pool of potential candidates with DRR background.The database will be managed centrally by Supply & Procurement (S&P) section, New Delhi. In this context, should the currently on-board consultants with UNICEF be interested in being considered for future opportunities with UNICEF, they also need to apply to the roster.

The position would be responsible for providing technical support to national / state / divisional / district level/ sub-district levels (in certain cases) DRR programming in UNICEF supported states in India, with specific deliverables to be achieved for improved DRR outcomes. The position would be based at Country Office or State or selected district HQs within the states. Possible locations are: New Delhi, Bhopal, Bhubaneshwar, Chennai, Gandhinagar, Guwahati, Hyderabad/Telangana, Jaipur, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai, Patna, Raipur and Ranchi. In Exceptional circumstances, on request of Government, UNICEF might also support other states.

DUTY STATION: The Consultant(s) are required for conducting staff trainings, and facilitating workshops, programme reviews and monitoring both at national / state level in UNICEF supported states in India. (New Delhi / 13 UNICEF Field Offices at Bhopal, Bhubaneshwar, Chennai, Gandhinagar, Guwahati, Hyderabad/Telangana, Jaipur, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai, Patna, Raipur and Ranchi)

DURATION OF LTA: 2 Years with the possibility of extension for 1 more year

CLOSING DATE: 2 August, 2018

Background:

Results based management (RBM) principles has been the core for articulation and development of the current Government of India and UNICEF’s country programme, 2018-22. The India Country Office has used the Theory of Change in explaining the programme narratives for its eight programme outcomes resulting in the development of Programme Strategy Notes in the country programme development process. Programme Strategy Notes present full results chains, articulating UNICEF’s vision of how the outcomes and output results will be achieved, and the strategies including monitoring frameworks and indicative resources that will be needed to achieve the stated results.

During the course of the formulation and development of the country programme, RBM workshops, were organised focused on enhancing the capacities and skills of staff members on RBM principles and standards. The four day RBM workshops in 2016 focused on the tools that are required for Country Program Document (CPD) planning i.e. Prioritization, Causality Analysis, Theory of Change and the Results Matrix. The two day RBM workshops in 2017 focused on how to use RBM principles and standards in developing work plans that - (a) takes into account the opportunities that exists at the state level and (b) addresses barriers and bottlenecks at the output level. These two day workshops ‘piloted’ the concept of results based budgeting as well and how the same can be applied in the Indian context.

Consequently, the review of the state strategy notes for the new country programme, 2018-22 show a definite improvement in the conceptualization and design of these notes when compared to the ones developed in 2015/2016 (for the 2013-2017 country programme). A desk review of a select sample of rolling work plans (RWP) have shown that the activities in the RWPs are directly correlated with the output and directly contribute to the achievement of the expected country programme output targets. The budgets are clearly outlined. All the RWPs had indicated annual targets. Of the 25 RWPs reviewed, 23 RWPs had annual targets formulated linked directly to those defined for the programme output.

The above demonstrate the effectiveness of these trainings' in building the capacities of staff members. The evaluation of the RBM workshops have indicated the same. Against this background and context, it is critical to continue the constant iteration of RBM as an effective management approach for improved planning and delivery of results. It directly relates to the ICO’s Accountability Framework and is aligned to the Global Strategic Framework, which clearly indicates the need for UNICEF to have an agile managing-for-results approach that will facilitate real-time strategic shifts that keep pace with the evolving programme environment at the state and national levels.

Therefore to enhance relevance, effectiveness and efficiency in programming and to strengthen programme implementation the organization of RBM trainings has been proposed for new staff members and for those staff members who haven’t been trained on RBM principles in the last 3 years. In addition, planning, monitoring and reporting workshops, that operationalize RBM principles at the state and national level, will be planned throughout the RBM cycle. There are also regular reviews and strategic reflection moments that require facilitation using an RBM lens.

The capacity development of new staff on RBM principles and standards is essential to: (a) familiarize them with the RBM principles and how UNICEF relates and works on these principles and (2) its application in day to day work. This is essential to enhance and build capacities on planning, monitoring and reporting to continue the momentum in building a culture of accountability for achievement of results. Besides, the need for continuous and improved understanding of the existing staff members in better planning, monitoring and reporting using RBM principles is essential to improve the quality of programming.

PURPOSE :

The purpose is to engage on LTA(s), expert RBM consultants with rich experience in conducting staff trainings, and facilitating workshops, programme reviews and monitoring, who have had prior experience in RBM training and facilitation in UNICEF.

And the CAP section is seen as a critical driver for high-level advocacy to bring social awareness and upstream public opinion.

Moving forward, UNICEF envisages a much stronger and critical role for different stakeholders, on a wide-range of issues affecting children such as Value of the girl child, Adolescent participation, Equity, among others. For the well-being of all children, especially the most vulnerable, UNICEF aims to enable an Increase in the percentage of children fully immunized; Reduction in incidence of child marriage; Reduction in neo-natal mortality; Reduction in percentage of children stunted; Reduction in the number of out of school children; and Reduction in rural households practicing open defecation etc.
