1.BACKGROUND andJUSTIFICATION

Since Phase I, the European Union (EU) supported Child Grants Programme has provided significant support to build the capacity of the Department of Social Welfare – today the Ministry of Social Development (MOSD) -to enable its staff to deliver social protection services to vulnerable populations. Among other support, there was the deployment of international technical assistance through the private firm Ayala Consulting for at least 4 full years. There have been additional significant investments to support the system and governance mechanism of the CGP. The technical assistance provided by Ayala Consulting has contributed to strengthen the CGP’s processes as well as the capacity of MOSD staff at both central and district levels to manage and monitor social protection programmes. It has also contributed to the design and implementation of several pilots (a conditional cash transfer (CCT) and an integrated social safety nets design (ISSN)) as well as the development of a Management Information System (MIS) and a National Information System for Social Assistance (NISSA).

During the CGP Mid Term Review in August 2013, the continuation of capacity building within the MoSD was identified as a key priority if the country wants to build a sustainable and comprehensive system of social protection. The capacity development strategy required should put great emphasis on strengthening the knowledge of MOSD staff in management and monitoring of social protection interventions in a way that guarantees quality of services to vulnerable households/populations.

Hence, the proposed consultancy will contribute to provide timely technical assistance to the MOSD and contribute to support the CGP team at central and district level in the management, implementation and monitoring of social protection activities including the CGP, ISSN and the integrated community development pilots.

1.BACKGROUND

If you are a committed, creative professional and are passionate about making a lasting difference for children, the world’s leading children’s rights organization would like to hear from you.

For 60 years, UNICEF has been working on the ground in 190 countries and territories to promote children’s survival, protection and development. The world’s largest provider of vaccines for developing countries, UNICEF supports child health and nutrition, good water and sanitation, quality basic education for all boys and girls, and the protection of children from violence, exploitation, and AIDS.

2.JUSTIFICATION

The Lesotho social protection sector has made significant progress in the last 5 years towards a systemic and inclusive system. The legal framework comes from the National Strategic Development Plan 2012-2017 (NSDP) where Government indicated its commitment to promote social protection as a key priority to fight poverty, vulnerability and social exclusion.

Social protection spending in Lesotho has been growing in recent years. The country spends about 9.6 percent of GDP on transfer programs, well above the 1-2 percent spent by most developing countries. However, despite the high spending on transfer programmes, only a small share of the benefits goes to the poorest households and consequently the expansion of public spending has not improved Lesotho’s social outcomes by much.

The Lesotho Child Grants Programme initially funded by European Union and taken over by Government of Lesotho in 2013 is the first cash transfer to be targeted to the poor and ultra-poor of Lesotho. The unconditional cash transfer aims at improving health and education standards of children. A recent impact evaluation showed that the CGP has a significant impact on household’s expenditure on children, particularly on nutritious food and school supplies. While the CGP had an effect retaining older children in school, there was no noticeable increase in general school enrolment. Likewise, while morbidity of children aged 0-5 decreased, there was no increased attendance to health centres.

Thus, in an effort to reach the full potential of the CGP to create lasting impact, the Ministry of Social Development – with support from UNICEF and the European Union – has decided to explore options to link the cash transfer to human development more firmly.

The main objective of the CCT pilot is to encourage participation and expand the use of health and educational services by poor segments of the population yet to benefit from the advances made by the CGP. In terms of outcomes, the specific objectives of this programme are to tackle the following indicators:

a. Education:

• Improve timely entry into Grade 1;
• Decrease drop-out rates;
• Increase regular attendance and retention in higher grades;
• Strengthen primary completion.

b. Health: Increase number of visits of under 5 year olds to health centres in order to facilitate the following:

• Increase immunization rates for under five year olds;
• Tackle childhood illnesses through regular monitoring.

In addition, the CCT pilot’s secondary objective is to build capacity in the Ministry of Social Development through testing operational mechanisms and various institutional arrangements that will also allow easy scaling up of the pilot by having identified the required instruments and institutional arrangements.

3.Objectives

Under the general supervision of the Chief of Social Policy and the Social Protection Manager at the Lesotho Ministry of Social Development, contribute to the implementation of a Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) pilot. The CCT pilot seeks to explore the feasibility and effects of attaching co-responsibilities to the transfers received by beneficiaries of the Lesotho Child Grants Programme in order to increase usage of health and education services for increased human capital.

The CCT design has been completed and the Ministry of Social Development has begun the preparatory activities for its implementation over a period of two years. The purpose of the consultancy is to provide technical assistance for the implementation phase. The technical assistance is requested to ensure the quality of processes and adherence to international good practices, as well as to support on-the-job training of government staff.

4.Specific Tasks

• Work closely with the CCT Manager at the Social Protection Unit and provide on-the-job training to central-level staff.
• Support the full project cycle implementation.
• Support in the logistical planning of field activities, including guidance and on-the-job training of budget planning and monitoring of spending.
• Perform quality assurance for timely and effective implementation of field activities.
• Monitoring of daily activities and results.

• Supervise the provision of weekly updates to the Technical Working Group.
• Finalize the development of an outputs log frame for the duration of the pilot.

• Supervise trainings on CCT processes as necessary, including the adjustment/development of relevant materials.
• Advise and supervise the production of communication for development materials.
• Support any other relevant activity as necessary.

5.EXPECTED DELIVERABLES

As the main analytical outputs, the consultant will produce:

• Inception report: review the design and status of implementation of the CCT pilot, including a proposed work plan for the duration of the consultancy.
• Technical manuals and training guidelines of the CCT project cycle reviewed, updated and finalized.
• Pilot’s outputs log frame finalized, according to treatment groups.
• Monthly progress reports outlining key achievements, challenges and recommendations to move forward.
• Training materials as necessary.
• TORs for a process and impact evaluation.
• Policy briefs and documentation report for dissemination of progress and results.

6.SUPERVISION AND PLACE OF WORK

Under the overall supervision of UNICEF Chief Social policy, the consultant will directly report to the Head of Social Assistance unit at the MOSD. Hence until the appointment of the Director Social Assistance, the Consultant will report directly to the Social Protection Manager at the Ministry of Social Development and work closely with the CCT and SSN coordinator.

7.PAYMENT SCHEDULE

• Monthly payment will be issued based on the approval of the monthly implementation report by the Ministry and UNICEF. The monthly implementation report will summarize progress on the implementation of planned activities during the month. It should also highlight challenges, recommendations and suggest the work plan for the next month.

A total of 57.1%[1] of population live below the poverty line and poverty rates are 50% higher in rural areas than in urbanareas. Poverty situation in Lesotho is mainly driven by income inequality, with the Gini-Coefficient of 0.525[2].
