2. Conducting PSEA assessments:

UNICEF’s PSEA assessments of civil society organizations (CSOs) are intended to provide a baseline for tracking progress of the partners’ organizational capacities on PSEA. These assessments need to be carried out before UNICEF enters into a partnership with that organization. Globally, all UN agencies are currently moving away from agency-specific PSEA assessments to use the newly introduced joint UN PSEA assessments for CSOs. The consultant is expected to complete all pending CSO assessments with high and moderate risk together with the UNICEF Tanzania PSEA focal point and Partnership Specialist in line with the UNICEF global plan to shift from UNICEF PSEA partnership assessments to joint UN PSEA assessments. The PSEA assessment is documented in a standard template, and supporting evidence is collected and filed against each Core Standard.

1. Draft the joint UN PSEA Partnership Assessment Toolkit Training Package in line with global guidance to be used for CSO trainings.
2. Conduct orientation sessions for all UNICEF CSOs on PSEA assessments.
3. Conduct individual PSEA partnership assessments for implementing partners based on the risk level. The list of CSOs with SEA risk level will be provided by UNICEF Tanzania’s partnership specialist.
4. Support CSOs to draft PSEA action plans and put basic standards in place.
5. Support UNICEF Tanzania to upload all relevant evidence/supporting documents to the UN partnership portal (UNPP).

3. Community based complaint and feedback mechanisms

Support UNICEF’s PSEA focal point to establish a complaint and feedback mechanism and integrate PSEA/GBV risk mitigation into community engagement activities through UNICEF Tanzania’s Social and Behaviour Change team.

1. Support the PSEA focal point and Social and Behavior Change Specialist to map out opportunities across UNICEF programmes for community sensitization, risk assessment and capacity building on SEA.
2. Support implementing partners and UNICEF field offices to implement community awareness sessions and consultations to conduct safety audits and other PSEA tools to mitigate SEA risks.
