Full Description
The Central African Republic continues to face structural challenges affecting equitable access to basic social services, particularly in areas with limited-service coverage. These constraints, combined with population movements observed in certain parts of the country, continue to affect the protective environment of children.
Children are consequently exposed to protection-related vulnerabilities, including family separation, limited access to essential services, and harmful practices. The availability and accessibility of child protection services and community-based mechanisms remain limited, particularly in remote or underserved areas.
Recent regional developments, including the situation in neighboring Sudan, have contributed to population movements toward the northern regions of the country, requiring sustained attention to ensure that services remain responsive to the needs of affected populations, particularly children.
In response, UNICEF supports national authorities in strengthening child protection systems and delivering prevention and response services, including case management, psychosocial support, and reintegration assistance for children in vulnerable situations.
These efforts are complemented by the Children and Armed Conflict (CAAC) agenda which supports the protection of children from grave violations, promotes their release and reintegration, and strengthens prevention and response mechanisms in line with international standards.
Against this backdrop, the Consultant will support the strengthening of Child Protection in Humanitarian Action (CPHA) in the Central African Republic, with a focus on advancing the Children and Armed Conflict (CAAC) agenda. The Consultant will contribute to enhancing the quality, coherence, and reach of child protection responses in complex operational settings, including by strengthening linkages between prevention, service delivery, and coordination mechanisms, in alignment with international standards.
