External Consultant for ChildFund Vietnam’s development plan, period 2025-2030 ((Amended)

BACKGROUND

ChildFund Vietnam's 2022 - 2025 strategy prioritizes promoting partnership, with a focus on strengthening the proactive role and ownership of local partners and communities throughout the entire cooperation project management cycle between two parties, from project design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. This priority is also rooted in the findings of ChildFund's collaborative consultations with partners at all levels in 2021, aimed at shaping the organization's strategy in Vietnam. Through this consultation, ChildFund also identified new issues and priorities of communities and agencies for children and youth.

In addition to the organization's current focus areas of child protection, basic education (kindergarten and primary school), health, gender equality, disability and social inclusion ( GEDSI), ChildFund will expand activities in the fields of information communication technology (ICT), natural disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation (DRR/CCA). These expanded areas are expected to contribute to addressing intersectional issues in child protection, child participation, basic education and health, as well as priority strategies of relevant agencies and departments. ChildFund also expects to expand its operating areas and potential partners so that we can cooperate and replicate successful technical models in new localities.

ChildFund Vietnam will conduct activities to explore and identify potential partners in Vietnam in all of the organization's above-mentioned priority areas, in order to coordinate the development and implementation of agreed priorities between parties. The activity is expected to be carried out in Quarter 3 and Quarter 4 of 2024 with the support of independent consultant/group of consultants.

OBJECTIVES

ChildFund is looking for an independent consultant/group of consultants with knowledge of units and organizations operating in the fields of child protection, education and health in Vietnam to help ChildFund identify potential partners and locations to implement the organization's strategy in the period 2025-2030.
