And we never give up.
For every child, a chance
The SBRS is currently rolled out in 23 Regions out of the 26 Regions, meaning UNICEF Child protection section is currently working with 164 District Councils parallel to working with RITA, PORALG and MOH, with expected coverage of all regions to be reached by 2023. The 5 individual contractors will be based in the following locations Arusha (or Dar es Salaam) (1), Dodoma (1), Mtwara (1), Mwanza (1) and Iringa (1) while being responsible for a number of regions.

The presence of consultants on the ground on a continuous basis will facilitate on-the-ground technical support, routine monitoring of birth and death registration activities, follow up on implementation and ensure timely liquidations. Together with RITA and PORALG, UNICEF is advocating for integration of birth and death registration work into the routine work of the councils and pitching for the councils to start budgeting for essential activities from their internal resources. These activities require rigorous follow ups with the regions and councils. In addition, PORALG requires some support for coordination and liaising with RITA and regions on the decentralized birth and death registration system and other related issues. Coupled with this is the need for continuous engagement with the National Bureau of Statistics and the Ministry of Health as well as other stake holders on ground.

How can you make a difference?

The 5 Individual Contractors will undertake the following tasks:
  • Where SBRS is being rolled out, work alongside the IPs on the campaign to clear the backlog; roll-out of the system for new-borns; monitoring and supervision; and attend evaluation meetings.
  • Where death registration is implemented or rolled out, work with all relevant stakeholders to support activities related to the roll out and maintenance of the death registration system.
  • Liaise with RITA regional coordinators and council teams and LGAs regional coordinators when starting new activities; visit councils and regions; ensure that new-borns and children aged 1-4 years are registered and their records uploaded as well as the registration of the deceased; and coordinate with PORALG, the NBS, and the Ministry of Health
  • Follow up on LGA requests to UNICEF and ensure effective grant management at the local level for birth and death registration.
  • Test training modules and SBRBS systems operations in different locations and registration centers.
  • Provide technical support to relevant partners, institutions, and other partners, and provide technical guidance, as needed and relevant, to strengthen birth and death registration.
  • Under the guidance of the Child Protection Specialist, conduct assessment and monitoring activities and analyze needs, progresses, gaps and bottlenecks of key thematic areas
  • Facilitate information and knowledge exchange, sharing of relevant practices and lessons learnt among key stakeholders to facilitate inter-coordination, professional peer-to-peer support, complementarity of interventions, service quality, integrated CRVS and harmonization of interventions. This will be done through ad hoc initiatives including, the organization of periodic updates and exchange sessions.
