LRPS-2019-9151425 to DEVELOP INTEGRATED SOCIAL AND BEHAVIOUR CHANGE STRATEGY, MESSAGES (TOOLBOX) AND TRAINING GUIDE

UNICEF Lebanon would like to hire the services of a company/institution with experience in working in the development sector as well as communication to develop an integrated SBCC parenting strategy across the life cycle and develop/adapt creative toolbox of materials which aims to help stimulate collective reflection, action and ultimately social change in relation to positive and responsive parenting. The strategy should include a toolbox with integrated messages across different programs (health, nutrition, Early Childhood Development (ECD), WASH, education) and age group which can be executed through different channels like print, electronic (television and radio), technology (SMS or an App), community point of service, community/social mobilization through facilitated dialogue, etc. and training for service providers and front-line workers.

This integrated SBCC strategy focusing on positive and responsive caregiving will be built on the current SBCC Implementation Plan for Child marriage, Child labor and violence being developed under the Child Protection program to enable alignment

The firm will work closely with the UNICEF programmes and partners to ensure the review of existing materials which have been utilized and proved to be appropriate to the Lebanese context specifically to caregiver support programs and refer to other documents/strategies to identify barriers and bottlenecks for each of the identified behaviours. Furthermore, the contractor will need to ensure the linkage, complementarity and build on the SBCC plan and toolbox developed under child protection as previously mentioned.

UNICEF Lebanon is therefore requesting for proposals from firms that can provide services for the development of an integrated SBCC strategy, a toolbox for caregivers and relevant target audience materials AND training guide. The length of time to conduct the consultancy will be five months from May to September 2019.
