Call for proposals

Save the Children International is the world's leading independent organisation for children. We work in around 120 countries. We save children's lives; we fight for their rights; we help them fulfill their potential.
In South Africa and Zambia the majority of people have access to some form of media. Media plays an important role in shaping adults’ and children’s attitudes as well as setting political, economic and social agendas. South Africa and Zambia have ratified the UNCRC and the ACRWC thereby committing to ensure opportunity for children to participate and be heard in decision making processes. Despite this, initiatives to strengthen children’s ethical and meaningful participation in both family and public sphere are very limited. In a national survey with 1 200 children in South Africa, children identified lack of participation as the third most violated right in their lives. The children felt that they were denied the right to make their own informed choices and the right to express their own opinions, ideas and listened to.
With that Save the Children in partnership with Media Monitoring Africa (MMA), and Media Network on Child Rights and Development (MNCRD) initiated a project to empower children in South Africa and Zambia to influence duty bearers to fulfil their rights by taking into account their opinion. To contribute to this overall objective this project was meant to ensure that 50 percent of stories about and by children in targeted news media in South Africa and Zambia include children’s opinions and quotes.
The expected outcomes of the project where:

1. National media bodies and individual media houses have endorsed ethical guidelines on reporting on children with clear frameworks for how to ensure child participation;
2. News produced by the Children’s News Agencies are published in targeted national news media;
3. 200 children with increased media literacy interact with journalists/editors on children’s rights

Save the Children and partners are looking for an experienced consultant to evaluate this project. The main objective of this final project evaluation is:

• To assess impact, success, challenges and best practices against project goals, objectives and approved plans;
• To provide a systematic and objective assessment of the impact of the project and achievement of the objectives;
• To provide a feedback to our donors and Save the Children with regards to meeting the intended purpose, objective and results of the project;
• To provide a basis for accountability to all stakeholders involved in the project.

The consultant will critically assess:

• Performance (effectiveness and efficiency):
• Effectiveness will look at achieved results based on project objectives and desired outcomes for target beneficiaries;
• Efficiency will look at how optimally inputs (including finances) were transformed into outputs and the timeliness of implementing program activities relative to time schedules.
• Impact:
• The consultant will look at the short-term and long-term effects that the programme implementation has had on the situation addressed and target beneficiaries, explaining the extent of change and elaborating on the lessons learnt and best practices.
• Sustainability:
• Project sustainability entails looking at mechanisms that enable durability of positive results after the withdrawal of the funding or support. The consultant will look at contribution to attitude change towards children and the media.

How the results will be used

• To improve future project design and making sure that the desired results are replicated amongst the target groups.

Duration and timing of the assignment:The assignment will last 30 days

1. Background and Context

The overall goal of Country Programme 2012-2016 is to aid efforts by Montenegro to increase equity and ensure the inclusion of children and women who are in need of special protection, live in poverty or are socially marginalized.

The programme will contribute to the following key results by the end of 2016: (a) Montenegro addresses disparities and gaps in access to quality social services for excluded and vulnerable boys, girls and families in line with United Nations standards;(b) the country’s legal framework is harmonized with EU/United Nations standards, and policies relevant to child-focused governance and social inclusion of children are implemented and monitored; and (c) national and local authorities systematically apply the principles and standards of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and Copenhagen criteria (for membership in the EU) and facilitate independent monitoring.

The country programme comprises two mutually reinforcing components: child protection and social inclusion; and child rights, policies and planning. These reflect the need for continuity in supporting the Government and institutions to complete the child care system reform agenda and implement policies and strategies for children at central and local levels; securing investment in equitable inclusion and protection of the most vulnerable and marginalized groups; strengthening capacities in planning, child rights monitoring and budgeting; and implementing the framework for a sustainable legacy of child rights.
