Development of Module for Department of Social Welfare and Development Academy’s Executive Class on Child Protection and Child Protection Ecosystem (Албания - Тендер #46287672)

UNICEF Philippine Country Office is inviting you to submit a proposal for LRPS-2023-9185663: Development of Module for Department of Social Welfare and Development Academys Executive Class on Child Protection and Child Protection Ecosystem.

Please be mindful of the submission timelines provided above.

Summarized Terms of Reference:

The objectives of the modules of the Executive Course are:

1. Harmonize understanding on what child protection is and what are the components of the child protection ecosystem amongst the local chief executives, their local social welfare and development officers, and the members of the local child protection council (LCPC);

2. Catalyse political and institutional support of the mayors to ensure the establishment and strengthening of a child protection ecosystem and influence to secure higher investments for child protection programming including support for the child protection workforce;

3. Provide practical examples on good practices of local government units that have functional child protection ecosystem; and

4. Submit a report to the DSWD Academy with recommendations on how to strengthen the provision of the CP module; institutionalize a community of practice amongst the LCEs and their LCPC members which will be documented by the DSWD Academy; and recommend other courses, modalities or innovations on the Executive Class to further support child protection systems strengthening efforts which are aligned to the National Plan of Action for Children.

The main participants targeted for these modules would be local chief executives, specifically mayors of 4th to 6th class municipalities, and their local social welfare and development officers (LSWDOs). The modules for the mayors will be run separately from the LSWD and LCPC counterparts. While 4th to 6th class mayors are to be prioritized in the delivery of the modules, these modules can still be delivered for other local chief executives, depending on the priority of DSWD.

The support to the DSWD Academy is also part of the Rolling Work Plan with the Department of Social Welfare and Development.

To ensure sustainability, the Executive Class will be integrated as a specialised course of the DSWD Academy and where there is a clear linkage and support of alumni to DSWD-sponsored Child Protection courses and nutrition services, including counselling, in at least one health center in each municipality.
