Consultant to develop Zimbabwe Child Rights Policy for the National Programme of Action for children: Government of Zimbabwe
Deadline: 28 July 2011

The Ministry of Health and Child Welfare is seeking a full-time Consultant to lead the process of developing a Zimbabwe Child Rights Policy in collaboration with other Government Ministries, United Nations Agencies and Civil Society Organisations.

The Republic of Zimbabwe is a party to the United Nations (UN) Conventions on the Rights of the Child (CRC); and the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACRWC). Zimbabwe ratified the CRC in September 1990 and the ACRWC in January 1995. The National Programme of Action for Children (NPAC) in Zimbabwe was established in 1990 under the Ministry of Health and Child Welfare, aimed at achieving goals for children and translating state obligations into a concrete framework for action.

The Ministry of Health and Child Welfare is the Secretariat for the NPAC and as such is mandated to co-ordinate the development, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies, strategies and programmes addressing cross-cutting children’s issues, in close collaboration with all other Government ministries, departments, UN Agencies and NGOs within an overall framework. Although working with all Ministries and stakeholders, the consultancy will be housed and report to the same structure where the NPA is housed for ease of co-ordination, i.e. in the MOHCW.

The goal of this consultancy is to develop the Zimbabwe Child Rights Policy that spells out the vision of the government of Zimbabwe, statues, structures, roles and responsibilities of all stakeholders addressing the totality of the child agenda in a well co-ordinated manner.

Methodology:

This assignment will be undertaken by a consultancy using desk review and participatory consultations. A critical element of the assignment will be to ensure inputs from all relevant stakeholders are incorporated into the final Zimbabwe Child Rights Policy. The consultant will be expected to plan how the assignment will be undertaken, draft the documents and work under the close guidance of a supervisory Task Force.

Time Frame:

-The consultant will be recruited by the end of July 2011
-The consultancy will be full time for a period of 3 months

Qualifications, skills and experience of the consultant

The consultant must possess the following attributes:

-At least have a higher degree in Social Sciences, with a bias towards research on Government Policy and Policy development processes
-At least 5 years’ progressive experience working in Zimbabwe’s social context with demonstrable in-depth understanding of a wide range of issues relating to children
-Experience and ability to analyse large amounts of documentation and have ability to synthesize them into strong written outputs
-Ability to convene, manage and document meetings involving a wide variety of stakeholders
-Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with proven report writing and editing skills
-Proven track record of developing similar policy documents
-Strong leadership and networking skills
-Sensitivity addressing interests of wide variety of stakeholders and skills negotiation/consensus building
-Fluency in one or both of Zimbabwe’s local languages (Shona/Ndebele) would an added advantage.
