UNICEF Zimbabwe is seeking to hire an innovative and self-motivated individual consultant to support the Government of Zimbabwe and the Ministry of Public Service Labour and Social Welfare (MoPSLSW) in designing Grievance Redress Mechanism for the Harmonised Social Cash Transfer programme. Background The Ministry of Public Service Labour and Social Welfare is the coordinating ministry for all social protection programmes in Zimbabwe. The ministry implements several social protection programmes among them the Harmonised Social Cash Transfer (HSCT) programme. The HSCT programme is one of the government flagship programmes and is located within the social assistance pillar of the National Social Protection Policy Framework. The programme was introduced in 2011 and targets the food-poor and labour- constrained households. The primary objective of the unconditional HSCT programme is to increase the purchasing power and thus the food consumption of the most food-poor and labour-constrained members of the population to reduce their reliance on risky coping behaviour and improve their socioeconomic status. A Household Is Labour-constrained When According to the current HSCT manual of operations households are eligible for support if they are food-poor and they are labour-constrained. * it has no able-bodied household member in the age group 18 to 59 who is fit for productive work; or * when one household member in the age group 18 to 59 years who is fit for work has to care for more than 3 dependents. i.e. household members that are under 18 years of age or over 59 or are unfit for work because they are chronically ill or disabled or handicapped or are still schooling); or * when a household has a dependency ratio between 2 and 3 but has a severely disabled or chronically sick household member who requires intensive care. The level of benefits to households varies by size of household and are capped at 4 members as follows: * One person household = USD20. * Two-person household = USD35. * Three-person household = USD45; and * Four-person household or more = USD65. The benefits are paid in local currency (ZWL) indexed to the USD official exchange rate. The HSCT programme has expanded to cover 33 districts by 2023 of which eight are urban districts to which Government has extended its support with the financial and technical assistance from UNICEF. The expansion has however been slow mainly due to several factors including limited financial resources weak and costly targeting system which inhibits rapid expansion. Beneficiaries to the programme have not changed since 2011 due to high costs involved in retargeting of beneficiaries. According to the programme design households were to remain in the programme for at least two years when retargeting would be done. The HSCT programme does not have an effective Grievance Redress System (GRM). Since the programme inception in 2012 attempts have been made to develop and roll out the GRM system which was mainly paper- based and did not give effective results. The programme has been operating without a GRM system in place. According to literature setting up a grievance mechanism to handle appeals and complaints is widely seen as best practice in social protection and development programming. A functioning grievance mechanism is expected to strengthen accountability to beneficiaries and communities bringing about a wide range of benefits. These include: direct programmatic benefits such as reduced risks of error and fraud; indirect programmatic benefits such as increased programme credibility and support and increased willingness of communities to actively engage with the programme; and spillover programme benefits such as a stronger citizen-state compact empowerment of some of the poorest and most vulnerable citizens and reduced social tension. GRM is also expected to improve programme operations. It is against this background that the MPSLSW with support from UNICEF is seeking the engagement of a national consultant to support in the development of a Grievance Redress Mechanism for the government HSCT programme.
