UNICEF’s
engagement in and geographical focus on the Mbeya, Iringa, Njombe, and
Songwe (MINS) regions began in 2012 and was based on a vulnerability
analysis that specifically highlighted high levels of nutrition and HIV
deprivation. Children comprise between 45 and 50 per cent of the
population of MINS, with the total number of children in 2018 estimated
at 2.4 million. By 2030 the number of children is projected to reach 3.3
million. Over the past years, TCO health, nutrition, child protection,
WASH, and education programme sections have implemented two types of
interventions in MINS: (1) interventions aimed at achieving results for
children at MINS level; and (2) interventions implemented in MINS but
aimed at achieving nation-wide or central level results (pilots,
assessments, research).
How can you make a difference?
The
purpose of this position is to support districts/LGAs with
implementation of the child protection system across all three pillars
(and integrate into areas of convergence within UNICEF, such as early
childhood development and adolescence). Whereas the candidate will be
expected to support the response and enabling environment components of
the system, emphasis will be placed on supporting prevention activities,
including ensuring implementation of the NPA-VAWC Communication and
Outreach strategy, and social welfare case management.

Provide
technical support to community development officers in the
implementation of the prevention component of the child protection
system, including the implementation of the National Integrated
Communications and Outreach Strategy to End VAWC at the regional and

Provide
technical support to the Regional Secretariats (including Regional
Social Welfare Officers, Community Development Officers, Planning
Officers, District Medical Officer, et. al.) in understanding their
roles and responsibilities in coaching and mentoring their LGA
counterparts on implementation of the NPA-VAWC.
Support
LGAs to plan and budget for child protection system components of the
NPA-VAWC and include this in all LGA budget and planning processes.
Support
NPA-VAWC coordination structures (Women and Children Protection
Committees) at regional and district level to convene and follow up on
their child protection commitments.
With
a view towards supporting evidence generation, monitor the use of DCMS
and support generation of trends analysis and data for reporting,
ensuring the sharing of information both horizontally and vertically (up
to the Regional level) on a quarterly basis in order to inform
district, regional and national level decision making, as well as
reporting requirements against UNICEF indicators and UNDAP II.
Strengthen
the capacity of the LGA’s to report on Direct Cash Transfers (DCT),
liquidation and activities and conduct regular programme monitoring
visits.
