ABH Partners PLC

Duty Station: 2 Deployments: Oromia region (Roaming, E/W Bale, Guji, Borena, and Wollega),&nbsp;Duration:1 year&nbsp;Start Date: June 1st&nbsp; 2022Reporting to&nbsp; Child Protection Specialist in Oromia field office&nbsp;<h2>Background</h2>Ethiopia is gripped in the midst of a mix of complex, enduring, and emerging emergencies, including the inter-communal, armed conflict and the drought in Oromia region, resulting in displacement which increases protection risks for women and children.The situation in Oromia remains highly unpredictable and&nbsp;dynamic, with &nbsp;a severe impact on the population. The fighting in most parts of welloga, Guji and most recently in west showa affecting the settled life of civilians and in some cases results in large scale displacement and civil unrest. Inter-communal conflicts and associated civil unrest hitting the region since 2018 has left thouseds of people in a protracted emeregency situation. The protracted emergency situation all over the region, the ongoing and active fighting in some zones of the region and the drought affecting south easter parts of the region have resulted in large-scale displacements and suffering of people and of specially women ad children in the region. Drought continues to seriously affect the lives of people in ten zones of the Eastern and South-Eastern parts of Oromia region.&nbsp;According to the Oromia DRMC Drought and conflict response plan, the number of individuals affected by drought has reached 3.6 Million. The region is also home to over 1,088,857 IDPs out of which about 591,590 are new IDPs confirmed by Oromia DRMC.&nbsp;Displacement is mainly triggered by conflict in various parts of the region where access to life-saving services is negatively affected by deteriorating security.&nbsp; Key zones where security has impacted negatively on communities include the four Wollegas, two Gujis, East Hararghe, North and West Shewa zones.&nbsp; Recent armed attacks by UAGs and inter-communal conflicts resulted in more than 316,739 people (63,000HHs) IDPs in the Wollegas.&nbsp;Children and women are the most affected community members in all the drought and conflict-affected woredas in the region. Children are highly affected by sexual violence in conflict-affected locations, while child labor, child rural-urban movements and associated trafficking and child marriage are concerns in drought-affected areas. A report from the regional BOWCYA indicates that a total of 348,080 children are at risk of these CP/GBV concerns in the region. There are 11,788 most vulnerable children to CP/GBV concerns that require CP/GBV response interventions.&nbsp; &nbsp;Administrative data also shows increasing trends of child marriage and VAC cases as the emergencies persist longer.&nbsp;UNICEF is providing CP response services covering 18 ofmost conflict and drought-affected woredas in the region through direct partnership with Government and PCA with I1day and world vision. The intervention focuses on case management, supporting UASC, preventing and responding to VAC/GBV, MHPSS and provision of CP supplies mainly dignity kits.&nbsp;Lack of access and insecurity remain key challenges and preven interventions to identify and register UASC in IDP sites, conducting protection assessments.&nbsp;As we have a significant number of children and women affected with GBV and associated distresses, specialized MHPSS services integrating with health is required.&nbsp; Children and Women survivors of Gender-Based Violence are also denied access to services due to road blockages and security threats.&nbsp; Lifesaving CP/GBV nonfood items including dignity kits are also urgent needs both in conflict and drought-affected areas.&nbsp;An ncreasing number of children and women are forced to adopt negative coping mechanisms as alternative survival and to support and provide for their families. There is a need for a multi-sectoral and multi-agency response to promote resilience and durable strategies.&nbsp; Social&nbsp; Cash Transfer initiatives are needed to meet the urgent needs of children and womenLimited humanitarian partners on the ground have made the situation much more complicated to provide adequate CPIE and GBV responses for drought-affected locations. And above all these responses require field-level intensive technical support.&nbsp;JustificationAs part of its &nbsp;Integrated response to the emergency situation in the region, UNICEF seeks to provide and strengthen child protection and GBV &nbsp;services to affected populations with a special focus on the drought which affects 10 zones and 76 woredas in the region. The quality of services being delivered at woreda level requires monitoring of the situation, technical assistance to implementing partners, and skilled coordination.&nbsp;As the nature of CP and GBV concerns has its own pecuelarities, the quality of service could be compromised under the current implementation arrangements. The deployment of Third-Party Child Protection in Emergencies Consultants linked to affected areas will provide technical support to the implementation, monitoring and reporting of UNICEF’s child protection program response. The consultants will also play a convening role with child protection program partners.&nbsp;The existing efforts to strengthen/establish zonal/woreda level coordination mechanisms require further support and this will ensure continued monitoring of the child protection situation and on- going responses in highly dynamic emergency contexts. This technical support will be linked with strengthening the capacities of Government sectors and other UNICEF PCA partners to provide CPIE and GBVIE&nbsp;&nbsp;response services in line with UNICEF’s <a href="https://www.corecommitments.unicef.org/ccc-2-3-5">Core Commitments for Children for Child Protection.The</a> dedicated Child&nbsp;Protection in&nbsp;Emergencies Consultant is therefore required to provide the needed field support to ensure a coordinated, quality assured response in dynamic and acute emergency settings.<h2>Key function, accountabilities and related duties/tasks&nbsp;</h2>In line with the Core Commitments for Children for Child Protection, provide technical and programmatic support for the design, implementation, monitoring and reporting of child protection in emergency response in partnership with BoWCYA and NGOs and ensure that interventions included in the child protection priority focus areas are implemented, monitored and managed in a timely and effective manner.

BackgroundEthiopia has made a remarkable progress in reducing child malnutrition with a decrease in national stunting rates among children under five from 58 per cent to 38 per cent over the past 15 years through a concerted multi-sectoral effort. To accelerate this promising progress, Ethiopia made an ambitious new declaration that envisions ending child undernutrition by 2030, named the 'Seqota' declaration and Develop Food and Nutrition Policy. The National Nutrition Program is implemented through multi-sectoral approached s, with different sectors playing key roles in executing nutrition- specific and sensitive interventions. In addition, the progress made in food and nutrition has contributed to the reduction of under -five mortality from 166 in 2000 to 67 per 1000 children in 2016 enabling Ethiopia to achieve the Millennium Development goals ahead of time and increase in estimated average life expectancy at birth from 45 years in 1990 to 64 years in 2016.JustificationMulti-sectoral nutrition coordinating bodies and technical committees are established at national, regional, zonal and woreda levels to coordinate and mainstream nutrition activities in their respective administrative purviews.
