The United Nations Children’s Fund is pleased to invite applications for its programme titled “Inclusive and Transformative Child Protection and GBV Services through Strengthening a Resilient Child Protection System at the Sub-national and Local level for Girls, Boys, Women and Caregivers focusing on Disadvantaged and Vulnerable Areas”.
The Child Protection component of this programme aims at ensuring that by 2030, more girls, boys and women in Ethiopia have a legal identity and are safe and protected from violence, exploitation, abuse and harmful practices in homes, schools and communities in humanitarian and development settings. To achieve this outcome, the health component planned to deliver the following output by 2030:
- Output 1: By 2030, the Government has more resilient and inclusive institutional and financial capacity to plan, implement, coordinate, monitor and evaluate child protection programmes in humanitarian and development settings.
- Output 2: By 2030, more girls, boys, women, and caregivers exhibit collective efficacy for positive social and gender norms and capacities to prevent, respond to and report violence against children, harmful practices, and gender-based violence across humanitarian and development settings.
- Output 3: By 2030, more girls and boys, including those with disabilities, have access to legal identity and to gender-responsive and child-friendly justice services across humanitarian and development settings.
- These outputs will be delivered through interventions implemented both by Government entities and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs). CSOs will contribute to this program by implementing specific projects in the following areas:
- Strengthening a resilient child protection system at the sub-national and local levels
