  • Consultant – Humanitarian Targeting Through National Social Registries

    Consultant – Humanitarian Targeting Through National Social Registries

    Background
    In Eastern and Southern Africa in recent years, development partners have increasingly focused attention on both emergency response delivered via humanitarian cash transfer programming, and support to develop shock-responsive or adaptive social protection systems. This is driven by a confluence of factors, including the growth of coverage and effectiveness of national social protection systems in the region, the reinforcing roles of poverty and exposure to shocks, and growing evidence of the cost-efficiencies of investment in preparedness and prevention through social protection and resilience programming, as well as commitments made in the World Humanitarian Summit and the Grand Bargain.
    As development partners and humanitarian actors have attempted to both build and align these two streams of work, there has been a considerable increase in guidance documents and case studies that point to the importance of preparedness and system reforms to enable rapid, effective, and cost-efficient expansion of national social protection programmes. In general, these guidance notes recommend a series of actions to allow for either vertical expansion, horizontal expansion, shadow alignment, or piggybacking. However, guidance on how to use national systems for delivering humanitarian cash responses in practice is still limited.
    Recent analysis[1] suggests that single registries and other forms of integrated social protection management information systems, which are used to collect and store information on whole populations or subsets thereof, regardless of whether they are beneficiaries of a particular social protection programme, have the potential to be used for rapid and accurate targeting of populations impacted by humanitarian crises. However, this is not the default. Effective use of a single registry for humanitarian targeting requires that the registry has sufficient coverage in terms of geography or key populations, is accurate and up-to-date, and incorporates data that is relevant for humanitarian targeting. Furthermore, humanitarian actors must have access to, and confidence in, the data.
    As UNICEF’s Social Policy teams in Eastern and Southern Africa continue to support governments to increase the effectiveness and shock responsiveness of national social protection systems, there is an increasing need for specific and practical guidance on how single registries can be designed or modified in a way that allows for use for humanitarian response. This consultancy is intended to help to provide this guidance.
    Scope of Work
    Goal and Objective: Under the supervision of the UNICEF Eastern and Southern Africa Regional Office (ESARO) Social Protection Specialist, the consultant will produce clear and practical guidance for UNICEF country offices on how to design or modify national single registries to allow for their use for the delivery of humanitarian cash responses.

    Draft operational guidance shared with UNICEF for comments.

    20 days

    Finalization and validation.
    Finalize the guidance, incorporating UNICEF comments.
