Introduction : Country: Ukraine
Project Name: Structural Transformation-UNDP-IRH-00130143
Description of the Assignment: National Consultant to Support a gender-responsive Review of Care Systems in Ukraine
Duty Station: home-based
Period of assignment/services (if applicable): August-November 2024
!PLEASE NOTE: the currency of the proposal is UAH. Furthermore, UNDP will enter into a contract with the selected national consultant in UAH.
Main objectives of the assignment: UNDP Istanbul Regional Hub (IRH) and UNDP Country Office (CO) in Ukraine are seeking to hire a national individual consultant in Ukraine. S/He will support a gender-responsive review of social care systems, by applying a gender lens to normative, policy, institutional, and financial frameworks and by identifying the steps needed to alleviate socially inefficient and unequal outcomes.
It is expected that in terms of implementation of this assignment, the Consultant/Expert (Individual Contractor) will carry out the following activities: - Analysis under the assignment will focus on reviewing the country’s social care policies, normative frameworks, the extent to which the social protection system supports care recipients and caregivers, labor standards, and the quality of jobs of care workers, while also looking at the root causes, including social norms and gender stereotypes, of the unequal distribution of care responsibilities;
- Examine the institutional capacity to accommodate the rising demand for social care, sustainable and fair financing of care services, and social infrastructure through a gender lens;
- Consultant will support the UNDP Istanbul Regional Hub as well as the Ukraine Country Office in conducting a thorough desk review of critical documents in the area of care, collecting data and information, and conducting semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders, partners, and care beneficiaries;
- Review how Ukrainian social protection expenditures support caregivers and care beneficiaries and examine the extent to which the quantity and quality of public and private sector spending on social care delivers policy goals and meets performance indicators for the care sector;
- Assess the level of investment in social care, how it is allocated across different agencies and levels of government, and support identifying possible interventions in the short, medium, and long-term that would allow the Ukrainian government to provide a suitable standard of social care benchmarked against, which for this exercise UNDP would recommend, the European Care Strategy and the EU Work-Life Directive;
- Develop recommendations to improve social care policies, and social protection programmes, address harmful social norms and gender stereotypes regarding unpaid care responsibilities, and enhance investments to build gender-responsive care systems.
All final products should be produced according to the plan outlined under each deliverable as specified in the Terms of reference.
