• Description:
• Tenders are invited for Consultant to Facilitate the Development of a Strategic Plan. Child-s i Foundation is a key player in driving policy reform related to Child Protection and Care in Uganda. A lack of evidence of the alternatives to institutional care remains a critical issue in Uganda. Child-s i Foundation has been actively involved in efforts to build the national evidence base by demonstrating effective family-based care and Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) programming. Child-s i Foundation has also been supporting the government in its implementation of the Alternative Care Framework and in building a national social workforce to help the nation reimagine the care of its most vulnerable citizens. Child-s i Foundation helps reunite children with their own families, where possible, and finds loving, Ugandan adoptive or foster families where the child-s own family cannot be found or is unsafe. We help to repurpose institutions into community hubs that provide referrals to relevant services to prevent family separation in the first place. We work with local partners to identify and train community volunteers and establish community development networks. We have worked with UNICEF to review the National Child Policy, revised the Alternative Care Panel guidelines through participation in the National Child Protection Working Group and also input into the National Foster Care guidelines. We have contributed to the development of national policies, demonstrated change for vulnerable children and families through project delivery as well as the establishment of national gate keeping mechanisms. In 2011 we established a National Social Work Center to provide social work training in Alternative Care and developed an Alternative Care curriculum with Makerere University.
