Tender Details

Tenders are invited for National Consultation for data analysis, documentation and communication of U-Report (11 months), Yaoundé - Cameroon.

If you are a committed person, a creative professional and passionate about actions that make a lasting difference in favor of children, the World Leaders Organization for Children's Rights would like more information about you.

For 70 years, UNICEF has been working in 190 countries and territories to promote the survival, protection and development of children. World's Largest Provider of Vaccines for Developing Countries, UNICEF Supports Children's Health and Nutrition, Promoting Drinking Water and Hygiene, Quality Basic Education for All Boys and Girls, and protecting children from violence, exploitation and AIDS. UNICEF is fully funded by voluntary contributions from individuals, businessmen, foundations and governments.

I- CONTEXT

The global population has not only increased significantly but is going through a phase where the weight of young people is the largest in history. While waiting for the demographic transition in developing countries, a quarter of the world's population is now under the age of 24. More than 90% of the 1.8 billion adolescents and young people (aged 10 to 24) live in developing countries. Asia is home to the largest youth population in the world. As for Africa, 40% of young people are under 15 years old. Projections suggest that these numbers will continue to increase over the next two decades, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia where population growth remains strong.

Although this youth is an enormous potential for development, the challenges to be met in view of the delay of multisectoral development remain enormous. Shortcomings in the supply and quality of basic social services (education - health - social protection) and the structural weaknesses of the economy will not allow these young people to contribute to the socio-economic development of their respective countries. To this we should add the harmful weight of discrimination and other inequalities that exist between men and women on the one hand, and between rich and poor on the other. Finally, due to the non-enjoyment of sexual and reproductive health rights, many young people are at risk of HIV infection and AIDS in many countries.

Since the era of the millennium agenda adopted at the dawn of the 2000s, countries have adopted many policies that are slow to produce sufficient results to meet the important expectations of youth. One of the reasons is that young people have been only weakly involved in developing and managing policies that address the many challenges they face. Making a difference for young people requires better involvement of young people in the choices and implementation of the orientations that are supposed to give them opportunities. It is in this dynamic that in September 2015, a new global commitment (SDG), intended to be more daring than the previous one, aims to eradicate poverty by 2030. As adults and responsible for the management of national development,

It is with the aim of increasing youth participation in global development that UNICEF at the global level has engaged in the U-Report initiative. Cameroon joined this global development train in November 2015. The Government of Cameroon is piloting it through the Ministry of Youth and Civic Education (MINJEC) with the support of UNICEF.

Since the launch of its pilot phase, the results obtained through the U-Report are quite promising. In addition to youth membership with more than 216, 000 enrollees, 43 surveys have been completed to date. Survey results contributed to (i) the decline in the legal age of marriage for girls aged 15 to 18; (ii) the adjustment of the EPI communication strategy for vaccination campaigns, which reached more than 2, 000, 000 additional children; (iii) sensitizing more than 725, 000 young people and adolescents via SMS and calls on reproductive health and HIV / AIDS issues.

Despite significant progress, the U-Report has not yet scored major points in decision-making in Cameroon. Beyond the tendencies produced by opinion polls, analyzes that would make it possible to better identify the root causes of the major problems that undermine youth remain little known. The communication strategy that accompanies the U-Report has planned the dissemination of the results to the general public through the audiovisual media, writing and social networks. In addition to stimulating debate, the dissemination of results and analyzes to identify the causes of problems, will help to sensitize young people and decision-makers at central, decentralized and local levels.

It is with a view to proposing this in-depth work which consists in deepening the analysis of the data generated by the U-Report, feeding the public dialogue around the main topics of concern to young people, determining the markers favorable to the implementation Place the U-Report in a sustainable way, document the progress and identify the levers to activate in order to give more voice to young people that the office wants to recruit a consultant.
