Tender Details

Tenders are invited for Consultancy Service of Transcribing Voice Recorder for Focussed Group Discussion (FGDs) and Key Informant Interview (KIIs).

Social protection has gained increased momentum in the development policy debate as a means to reduce child vulnerability and poverty caused by household stress, shock and chronic poverty. Different social protection measures depending on their design have shown to be greatly beneficial to children living in poverty with positive impacts on nutrition, health, education and reduction in child labour. Consequently, social protection measures have the potential of breaking inter-generational transfers of poverty, particularly when they are combined with efforts that aim to foster a more protective and caring atmosphere for children by investing in them and supporting their well-being and development.

Based on the realisation that social protection can be a key thematic area to reduce child poverty, Save the Children Finland has developed project referred to as Child Sensitive Social Protection (CSSP) in a range of countries together with the local Save the Children offices. For Save the Children, CSSP encompasses child-focused or family-based social programmes that directly or indirectly address children’s needs and rights through a combination of economic support and complementary interventions.[1]

Save the Children understands that complementary interventions to social protection will ensure better results on child development outcomes, Save the Children Somaliland collaborated with the international child development programme (ICDP) in Norway and introduced positive parenting programme as an integral part of the CSSP initiatives. The parenting sessions are based on the ICDP (International Child Development Programme) concepts with adjustments to the local context. In Somaliland the CSSP project directly engages in implementing a cash transfer programme (being conceptualised as a “child grant”) with the Ministry of Emplyment and Social Affairs (MESAF ).The project provides child grant to 300 households in Hargeisa along with a strong component on improved postive parenting.
