Scope of Work:

The individual consultant will be managed by UNICEF and work under the guidance of the NPA-VAWC Secretariat to conduct an assessment of the existing administrative data systems generating data on VAWC and determine how relevant they are or could potentially be in reporting on VAWC indicators and targets; identify available data systems and data being generated relevant to the NPA-VAWC, and establish baselines for the agreed indicators where these are available from the assessed systems;
propose feasible options for alignment of the existing systems to improve monitoring and reporting on 3 VAWC across sectors; develop tools to facilitate collection and consolidation of required VAWC data from the existing tools at both national and subnational levels; and recommend actions to address gaps where such systems to generate and analyse required data are unavailable, unsystematic and/or unaligned, making VAWC reporting and programme and policy decisions challenging.

Specifically, the consultant is expected to implement the following specific tasks:

• Review the NPA-VAWC II results framework to understand the horizontal logic of results (indicators, baselines, targets and means of verification) and where needed, suggest areas that need adjustment and streamlining to ensure each indicator can be effectively measured to track progress towards the specific results that are outlined in the results framework.
• Comprehensively review existing administrative data systems across sectors relevant to VAWC to identify types of data that are available to report progress in implementation of the NPA-VAWC II, including what, how and where data is collected, consolidated, analysed, and shared for different uses, present data flow in schematics.
• Establish baseline data for agreed indicators from the administrative data systems where these are available and provide guidance and/or tools to facilitate collection of the missing baseline data where these could not be established by this assignment.
• Identify indicators whose data sources are unstructured, incomplete, and unpredictable and propose modalities to facilitate their availability for monitoring and reporting on the NPA VAWC II.
• Develop practical tools to facilitate data collection, collation and sharing from structured and unstructured systems at national and subnational levels (regional secretariat and Local Government Authorities) for reporting on agreed indicators in the NPA-VAWC II.
• Propose recommendations for strengthening comprehensive, integrated and interoperable data systems for VAWC that facilitate reporting and information sharing across the VAWC sectors at all levels.
• Develop Monitoring and Evaluation Plan that will guide how and when data is collected and consolidated from the sources upwards, responsibilities and their use in monitoring and reporting on NPA VAWC II. The M&E plan should facilitate implementation of the
  recommendations from this assessment.
