Assignment Title: Senior International Consultant on Development of Community-Based Social Services and Guardianship Systems

Reference No. (as per Procurement Plan): UZ-INSON-CS-IC-2.1.3.1.

The Republic of Uzbekistan has received financing from the World Bank toward the cost of the “Innovative Social Protection System for Inclusion of Vulnerable Populations” (INSON) project and intends to apply part of the proceeds for consulting services.

The consulting services (“the Services”) include providing strategic, technical and methodological support to the National Agency for Social Protection (NASP) in the development and piloting of community-based social services and strengthening of guardianship systems. The assignment will support the ongoing reform of social services aimed at shifting from institutional care models toward modern community-based and person-centered services.

The Consultant will provide expert support in the following areas: development of community-based services for children in difficult life situations; strengthening guardianship, trusteeship and adoption systems; development of community-based services for persons with disabilities and support to deinstitutionalization processes; and improvement of services for vulnerable adults, including victims of violence and trafficking.

The estimated level of effort is approximately 120 person-days over a period of about 9 months from contract start. The assignment will combine home-based analytical work with field missions in Uzbekistan. The expected start date is April 2026.
