Background | |||||||||||||
The COVID-19 crisis has had a significant impact on people’s lives – in terms of jobs, livelihoods, delivery of basic services – and particularly for those already in vulnerable situations who have been hit the hardest. The costs of institutional response to the crisis are continuously facing diverse challenges on equal distribution amongst the population and are affecting social groups differently. While policy responses must be just, fair, and equal for all, they should also attempt to address diverse needs be it of women, youth, minority communities, or disabled individuals. The Social Assistance Scheme (SAS) absorbs approximately 88% of the budget for social assistance. The pandemic has exposed a series of gaps in the governance system which has affected the work of institutions and other service delivery entities in provision of social services. The work of social service providers is augmented through licensed NGOs/other entities who cooperate with CSWs, municipal departments, and the Ministry of Finance, Labor, and Transfers (MFLT). The administrative instruction Nr. 02/2020 on licensing on NGOs and private legal entities providing social and family services sets out the application procedures, conditions, and criteria that must be met by NGOs and Legal Entities in order to license for provision of social and family services, organization, and functioning of commissions that implement and decide on the licensing procedure, the issuance, rejection, renewal, and revocation of licenses as well as the types of licenses appeal procedure and payment of licensing fees. As such, UNDP continues to support the establishment of proper legal infrastructure to the MFLT/DSFP and NGOs/legal entities providing social and family services. Objectives of Assignment The objective of the task is to prepare and facilitate the process of drafting the manual/guidelines for the implementation of the administrative instructions for contracting/outsourcing social and family services based on the content, conditions, and criteria’s for providing such services. | |||||||||||||
