Integrated Social Protection Consultancy with UNICEF Iraq-home based
2 months ago
Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.
The social protection landscape in Iraq remains characterized by fragmentation and ineffectiveness in
addressing the needs of the most vulnerable and preventing individuals from falling into poverty. Within this
context, the United Nations have partnered to provide support to the Government of Iraq in conducting the
Social Protection Reform. The Joint Programme, "Social Protection Programme- Leveraging Effective
Response and Accelerating Reform" is supported by European Union and implemented under the coordination
of UNICEF, in collaboration with the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the World Food Programme
(WFP), under the leadership of the Ministry of Planning, with participation of the Ministry of Labour and Social
Affairs, and the Ministry of Trade. The overall objective of the joint programme is to ensure that the vulnerable
and the poor, including children, youth, women, elderly, informal workers, persons with disabilities and
Internally Displaced Persons in Iraq benefit from equitable access to an integrated social protection system.
The programme is divided into four objectives:
1\. Social protection reform is evidence-based and supported by policy coherence, effective coordination
and enhanced institutional capacities;
2\. By 2024, pregnant women, under-5 and school age children from poor households benefit from
equitable access to integrated social protection programmes and services;
3\. By 2024, young people, workers and their families – including those in the informal economy – have
enhanced access to comprehensive social insurance and active labour market programmes, and the
income security of older-persons and persons with disabilities is improved; and
4\. By 2024, vulnerable people will benefit from coordinated management of information systems and
strengthened capacities of national and subnational institutions for improved design and targeting of
social protection interventions.
