Scope of Work
While the overall objective of the proposed project is to improve results for children through follow-up to the concluding observations of the UN CRC Committee at the country level, the inception phase of this project entails a desk review. The desk review will focus on the current status of the concluding observations, their implementation, mechanisms used, challenges faced and results obtained in the various countries.
Activities: This desk review will be conducted through engagement with relevant stakeholders and the activities listed below in 14 countries in ESAR, [Malawi, South Africa, Kenya, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Madagascar, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Mauritius, Tanzania, Angola, Lesotho, Botswana and Somalia]:
- Conduct a country by country mapping and analysis of the following:
- Concluding Observations
- State Party reports and alternative reports
- List of issues as well as any relevant literature
- The range of national mechanisms, based on their location and degree of institutionalization and the functions and tasks of these mechanisms for follow-up
- The linkage between bodies/individuals involved in the drafting of reports and their involvement in follow-ups
- Identify and highlight elements of concluding observations that are directly relevant to the UNICEF ESA regional priorities.
- These include building national child-protection systems; strengthening evidence building and knowledge management; addressing cultural values and supporting social change; and enhancing child protection in conflict and natural disasters.
- Place emphasis on “multi-sectoral case management systems to enable adequate channeling of cases of violence, harmful practices, including ritualistic killings or trafficking, child abandonment or any other risks that children face”.
