For Every Child, AN ADVOCATE:

In an effort to measurably improve UNICEF's ability to deliver better results for children, 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.

1. BACKGROUND:

UNICEF supports Government of India (GoI) and other partners with Information and Communication Technology (ICT) enabled solutions that are aimed at achieving programmatic results in India.

As UNICEF India does not have a dedicated in-house solutions development team, there is need for short and/or long-term technical inputs to initiate “start-up” or “scale-up” ICT projects of wide-ranging scopes. There may be need to develop an entirely new solution or modification work required on existing solutions. The objective is to ensure UNICEF has a roster of competent ICT consultant who could be immediately engaged to provide the required level of inputs to assist with programme delivery while improving the efficiency, effectiveness and automation of business processes using ICT technologies / ICT Project Management.

2. PURPOSE:

UNICEF is trying to build a pool of pre-qualified high-caliber candidates to be engaged as ‘ICT 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 ICT Consultant Roster. The process will ensure all candidates in a ICT Roster Group are evaluated prior to recommendation for a specific consultancy opportunity. Successful candidates will be notified and placed in a ICT 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 ICT Consultants, once in place, will allow ICT 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 ICT 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 need to apply to the roster.

3. LOCATION:

The position would be responsible for providing technical support to national / state / divisional / district level/ sub-district levels (in certain cases) ICT Solutions in UNICEF supported states in India, with specific deliverables to be achieved for improved programme 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.

4.VALIDITY OF ROSTER:

The roster once established would be valid for a period of 4-years.

5. QUALIFICATION, SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE REQUIRED

Education: Master’s degree in Computer Science / Management Information Systems / Business Administration / Systems Analysis or Equivalent.

Consultant for study of technological applications/platforms to increase transparency, ethical conduct and regulatory oversight of the recruitment of migrant workers

Requirement: Technology research specialist

Duration: October – December 2018

Requirements for application: Submission of CV, see Application section below for more details.

Background

The large-scale migration of workers is mostly facilitated by an inter-regional network of private recruitment agencies (PRAs). While there are a number of ethical PRAs, recruitment-related abuses are widespread, including the charging of exorbitant fees to low-skilled migrant workers in sectors such as construction, agriculture and services (including domestic work), sometimes in collusion with employers.

In response, government-facilitated online platforms have been proposed as a mechanism to either help make the process of recruitment by PRAs more transparent and improve government oversight, or as an alternative to PRAs altogether, through government-to-government, or government-to-business recruitment models. Platforms adopted by countries of origin and destination vary, either operating unilaterally, bilaterally or multilaterally. However, there are a number of common features, including:

• Ability for job seekers and employers to check a recruitment agency’s registration/licence and/or see the agency’s rating by users (reducing reliance on unlicensed agents or sub-agents and potentially giving more visibility to fair and ethical recruitment agencies);

• Maintenance of an online repository of key documents such as an employment contract (reducing risk of contract substitution) as well as ability to store other core documents such as copies of passports and birth certificates (which may be required by workers for any number of reasons, including lodging a complaint or applying for a new job) while adhering to data protection principles;

• Ability to track the entire recruitment process (providing greater visibility to employers and regulatory authorities); and

• Provision of online educational materials including information on “employer pay” recruitment corridors and available pre-departure and post-arrival programmes; and Links to online grievance mechanisms.

Despite these potential benefits, some commentators have noted that technological solutions may not solve core challenges affecting the current recruitment framework, particularly potential misconduct by PRAs (e.g. in collusion with employers).² For example, online platforms may not achieve their outcomes if:

• PRAs (or subagents of the PRAs) offer to log/track information on behalf of migrant workers, meaning that migrants do not access the platform themselves and thus do not benefit from the potential transparency facilitated through the platform (for example, they may not see the platform-lodged employment contract, and may rely on the contract provided by the PRA – which may have different terms); PRAs can still find other ways to charge workers recruitment fees or related costs, including intimidating workers not to reveal through the platform that they were charged fees, or charging after the fact.

Additional concerns relate to:

• Recruitment through the system becoming more time-consuming and cumbersome, thus increasing and not reducing associated costs, resulting in more workers and employers relying on faster processes such as informal recruitment through social networks (where they may be less protected); and Risk of data breaches unless strict protocols are put in place.

About the study

The study aims to provide guidance to States developing online applications/platforms that facilitate recruitment and placement of migrant workers, on how to best leverage new techniques and technologies, such as blockchain. The study has a focus on migration from Africa and Asian countries to Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and the European Union.

The study will also explore and propose innovative ideas for future use of online platforms.

Specifically, the study will consider a number of core questions, such as:

• What is the typology of online platforms and what functions are they intended to serve?

• Do online platforms increase transparency and efficiency of recruitment for the benefit of workers and employers, and for the work of regulatory authorities?

• Do they support ethical recruitment agencies, or present a higher likelihood of fair recruitment?

Objectives

The study will be in two parts:

Part 1: Review of current initiatives

This part will develop a set of criteria and standard operational indicators of online recruitment applications/platforms to be discussed with the participating countries. These indicators will be tested through a mapping and review of the implementation of current relevant initiatives, taking account of the system that was in place before the online platform was implemented as a comparison. Criteria could include:

• Transparency: level of information available to both worker and employer and degree to which workers in particular actually access and benefit from the available information;
• Efficiency: including number of days required to comply with established procedures, the amount of time required to input information (including, on the workers’ side, how many appointments are needed particularly to capital cities to lodge information), and – where the platform has a function for job matching – the quality of the ‘skills match’ between worker and employer;
• Cost: costs to the employers and workers;
• Assistance to regulatory authorities:* the extent to which online platforms facilitate the work of government authorities to carry out their regulatory/oversight functions over the recruitment process and to what degree do they promote or facilitate cooperation between authorities in countries of origin and destination;**
• Alignment with international labour standards: including access to complaints and dispute resolution mechanisms, ensuring that workers do not pay recruitment fees, etc;
• Data protection: how secure is user data, including both worker and employer data, and what safeguards are in place against data theft or manipulation;
• Accessibility: degree of penetration of online platforms considering that many low-skilled workers may come from rural areas or have limited education levels, and the issues of internet literacy, access to reliable internet connection, access to mobile applications, etc.

The review will be conducted in accordance with the same indicators for previous (off-line) recruitment modalities as a comparison.

Part 2: Future directions

This part will explore how emerging trends and technologies, such as blockchain, can be utilised to enhance or develop online systems that best fulfil the criteria and indicators tested through Part 1.

It may also consider the possibility of establishing platforms in the countries of destination to promote internal labour market mobility - such as a virtual market place where workers already in the country can be recruited and matched through an online platform (accessible by relevant Ministries as well as private firms).

Process evaluation of PMMVY maternity benefit programme; 3.

Integrated multi-sectoral strategy to improve girls’ and women’s nutrition before conception, during pregnancy and after birth (Swabhimaan programme)) and others may be added over the course of this Consultancy.

In line with UNICEF India’s commitment to further strengthen the quality assurance processes and quality management of all its evaluations, the Country Office is seeking the support of a qualified consultant to manage, coordinate and quality assure the above mentioned on-going and planned evaluations as well as support the design and management of new evaluations over a period of this consultancy.

For Every Child, AN ADVOCATE:

In an effort to measurably improve UNICEF's ability to deliver better results for children, 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.

Organizational Context:

The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does in programmes, 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.

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.

UNICEF works in 190 countries and territories to protect the rights of every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone. UNICEF has spent 70 years working to improve the lives of children and their families. Defending children's rights throughout their lives requires a global presence, aiming to produce results and understand their effects. UNICEF believes all children have a right to survive, thrive and fulfill their potential – to the benefit of a better world. And we never give up!

For Every Child, AN ADVOCATE:

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, nutrition, 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.

Despite increased coverage rates of routine immunization (RI) in India, nearly one-third of all children born in the country each year are not fully protected against the life threatening vaccine preventable disease. Besides, India has recently introduced and proposes to introduce a number of new vaccines into the existing RI Schedule in the coming years (2016-18), many of them through campaigns such as Rota virus, Measles Rubella, Adult JE and Pneumococcal. The country has set its target for 90% national coverage by 2020, increasing from the current 65.2% (RSOC 2013). UNICEF has been one of the core partners in supporting the GOI in the RI and new vaccine initiative, especially focusing on strengthening system capacity to integrate, operationalize, and monitor social and behavior change communication (SBCC) interventions in a manner that leads to increase vaccine confidence and generate demand for new vaccines.

In the last one and half years there have been significant progress in systems strengthening interventions for routine immunization through the introduction of new vaccines, and namely MR. UNICEF is the lead technical partner supporting Advocacy, Communication and Social Mobilization (ACSM) planning, implementation and monitoring for demand generation that would lead to vaccine uptake (and full immunization coverage). UNICEF has worked closely with all development partners, and is rolling out a MoHFW-endorsed communication package, including SOPs, IEC materials and formats and templates to facilitate all phases of planning until campaign launch. In regards to the MR vaccine introduction the campaign on-going since February 2017 has reached almost 100 million children across 21 States /Union territories, and more than 300 million children across 15 States are yet to be vaccinated.

The way forward envisions building on all the lessons learned and the processes that have strengthened communication planning, implementation and monitoring for new vaccine introduction and RI to expand to RMNCHA programming.

How can you make a difference?

If you are a committed, creative professional and are passionate about making a lasting difference for children in the world's thereby ensuring a better future for every child, this is the chance to make a difference. Communization for Development Officer, RI & New Vaccines – will provide the necessary support in moving forward the communication technical assistance for RI and New Vaccines through a clear roadmap and results matrix, as well as contribute to systems strengthening and capacity development for RMNCHA priorities.
