UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential. Across 190 countries and territories we work for every child everywhere every day to build a better world for everyone. For every child protection Purpose of Activity/Assignment Although important progress has been made in the past decades Romania remains the EU country with the highest rate of children at risk of poverty and social exclusion (41.5% - almost double the EU-27 average of 23.8%) hindering the full realization of their rights. Inequality rates also remain high with persistent disparities in economic opportunities and in access to quality services across different regions and especially between urban and rural areas where over 47 per cent of children live. Children with disabilities children from Roma communities and children out of family care are also among the most vulnerable and excluded categories. One of the system’s main bottlenecks is that the child social protection relies mainly on social transfers and less on social assistance services which still lack qualified workforce and it is unevenly distributed nationwide. Starting in 2015 the European Union began the development of a Child Guarantee meant to ensure that all children in Europe who are at risk of poverty social exclusion or are otherwise disadvantaged have access to essential services of good quality in the areas of healthcare education childcare housing and nutrition. In July 2020 DG Employment in partnership with UNICEF launched a testing phase of the Child Guarantee in seven Member States and in June 2021 the Council of the European Union adopted a Recommendation establishing an EU-wide Child Guarantee to combat child poverty and social exclusion of the most vulnerable children. The recommendation also exhorted all EU countries to develop a National Action Plan for the implementation of the Child Guarantee up to 2030 process which the Government of Romania started in parallel with the finalization of the new National Strategy for the Promotion and Protection of Children Rights 2021-2027. Both these inter-sectoral policy documents are currently in an advanced draft phase and are being finalized under the coordination of the National Authority for the Protection of Children Rights and Adoption (NAPCRA). Given the relevance of these documents in setting the framework of the Country’s strategies and investments in favor of children UNICEF is working closely with the NAPCRA and other institutional counterparts in areas related to the financing expenditure tracking coordination monitoring evaluation and implementation of said policies. The major purpose of the assignment is to contribute to the strengthening of the M&E frameworks of the Child Guarantee National Action Plan (CG-NAP) and other public policy documents aimed at the protection of children rights.
