Closing date: 03 Dec 2014

Terms of Reference for conceptualising and managing a 2 day Hackathon on the occasion of CRC@25 anniversary

Summary

TitleOrganizing, coordinating and implementing a two day hackathon on app development for CRC@25**Purpose** Develop sustainable ICT apps to promote and empower child’s rights (as well as inform and educate children on their rights) Duration 13 working days. Start Date 4 to 20 December 2014 Reporting to Chief of Communication, Advocacy & Partnerships

Background

CRC@25 is an umbrella concept to guide advocacy and communication efforts across UNICEF during the 25th anniversary year of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Its overarching purpose is to generate new ideas for overcoming barriers and bottlenecks that prevent millions of children –from realizing their rights. Throughout the year, special initiatives stress the gaps that remain; the role of innovation in driving equity in both global and local contexts; and the role of our equity strategy in operationalizing rights. Across all our platforms, we highlight practical action to reach the most excluded children, providing country and regional offices, and national committees with guidance for shaping coverage of the 25th anniversary of the CRC.

New ideas and approaches are critical to UNICEF’s work and a critical element in closing the gaps that prevent so many children from realizing their rights. One of the ideas UNICEF Rwanda plans to undertake is a 2 day hackathon which brings in young people working in ICT together with children to develop application related to child rights/CRC. This idea has received good support from the Ministry of Youth and ICT. They have agreed to provide technical support as well as be a part of the selection panel.

Justification

Since the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, children’s rights were central to rehabilitation priorities of the country. In 2004, children held their first summit to write their chapter into the whole nation’s healing and development process. Since then their participation has taken shape through the National Commission for Children to sustain successes and initiate more action towards full advancement of children’s rights. This 25^th anniversary of the CRC coincides with the 10^th anniversary of the landmark participation event of children. In this context, children themselves are best to contribute views on achievements and what remains to be done to achieve equity through innovative strategies which is planned on 25@25 i.e. to be show cased on the 25^th day after the silver jubilee commemoration of CRC.

Therefore, with the app development which will focus on developing games, web apps and USSD apps which will help inform children of their rights in a more familiar and fun way as well as promote rights of children among caretakers and families.

With an aim of being a regional ICT hub, Rwanda has set-up most of the necessary infrastructure to promote ICT as well as build a knowledge based society, developing content using the ICT devices is a smart way of investing in the young generation. The world is going ICT and it is only fair that children’s rights are advanced and fast-tracked with ICT based solutions.
