UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.
Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.
And we never give up.
For every child, social policies and governance...
Purpose Of Activity/Assignment
To review the social issues and children's issues in the implementation of provincial programs and plans related to green growth, climate change response, environmental protection, and sustainable development of Sóc Trăng, Cà Mau, and Bạc Liêu provinces.
Scope Of Work
Viet Nam has, over the past 30 years, achieved remarkable socioeconomic progress. Reforms have stimulated an economic transformation that has propelled the country into lower-middle-income status. The UN Common Country Analysis confirmed strong progress across several Sustainable Development Goals. Over the last decades, Government of Viet Nam has demonstrated its commitments to child rights. Specifically, priorities for children are expressed through the 13th Party Congress’s Political Document, within the 2021-2030 Socio-economic Development Strategy, 2021-2025 Socio-economic Development Plan, three national targeted programs on sustainable poverty reduction, new rural construction and economic development for ethnic minority and mountainous areas, National Plan of Action on Children for the period 2021-2030. Furthermore, as Viet Nam is one of the countries that are most vulnerable to the effects of climate change, i.e., ranked sixth by the Global Climate Risk Index in 2020, the Government of Viet Nam has made strong commitments to climate action. These commitments have been translated into the development, implementation and monitoring of strategies plans of action on sustainable development, environmental protection, climate action and green growth.
Besides social and economic positive progresses, multidimensional child poverty remains significant (10.7 per cent), with disparities between rural and urban areas (13. versus 6 per cent) and among ethnic minorities (33.1 versus 6.3 per cent for the majority of Kinh and Hoa). Children living in the poorest households are significantly more affected by the consequences of extreme weather events. Recent research indicated that 50 per cent of studied children living in the poorest households in Viet Nam had experienced at least one extreme weather event that affected the household economy compared to 17 per cent of the least poor households.
The above gaps along with those that have emerged in recent years due to environmental degradation, natural disasters, and extreme weather events related to climate change—such as droughts, floods, and storms—will significantly impact the comprehensive development of children in Viet Nam. Therefore, Viet Nam must accelerate its efforts to address both unfinished and emerging agendas related to children's welfare to ensure that no child is left behind. This requires timely and green investments in human capital, such as education and skills development, to equip the younger generation to adapt to the evolving job market and the changing economic, social, and environmental contexts.
The project "Child-Friendly Policies and Plans for the Period 2023-2026" between Ministry of Planning and Investment and UNICEF is expected to enhance the institutional capacity of the Ministry of Planning and Investment in policy formulation and implementation based on evidence. This aims to better fulfill children's rights, particularly in planning, resource mobilization, implementation, and monitoring of socio-economic development plans, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and national targeted programmes (NTPs). The Department of Science, Education, Natural Resources, and Environment (DSENRE) of the Ministry of Planning and Investment is the national focal point for implementing sustainable development and green growth. It is also responsible for formulating and monitoring socio-economic development plans (SEDPs) and medium-term public investment plans in the fields of education and training, science and technology, and natural resources and environment. Under this project, DSENRE/MPI in conjunction with UNICEF designed activities with a focus on promoting children's rights in the implementation of sustainable development goals, green growth, environmental protection, and climate change response.
Therefore, within the project framework, DESENRE/MPI and UNICEF plan to recruit national consultants to support the DSENRE to review provincial plans of action on sustainable development, climate change response, environmental protection and green growth (2021-2030) for three provinces: Soc Trang, Bac Lieu, and Ca Mau with a focus on social and children’s issues. This assignment aims to propose strategic, practical and specific recommendations for the three provinces to better implement these plans in the future, especially in the new planning cycle (2026-2030).
Specific Objectives Include
