Job Title: Consultant on Political Economy Analysis and Stakeholder Analysis (Federal and CDGP Focal States)<\/strong> Purpose:<\/strong><\/p>\n Context:<\/strong> Additionally, the Federal Government is embarking on a process to build a comprehensive social protection system through inclusion of $2.5 billion per year in the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) and the development of social investment programmes. In addition, a Social Protection Policy was approved recently in July 2017 to strengthen the delivery and impact of interventions on poverty reduction. The federal government through NASSCO is building a national social register and 380 LGAs in 33 states have so far been captured in the register.<\/p>\n Following the conclusion of the 2019 general election, the appointment of portfolio Ministers by the President created new dynamics in the political context of the Nation. The President made two major moves by merging the Federal Ministries of Finance and Budget and National planning and created a new ministry called the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affair, Disaster Management and Social development. While the full remit of this new ministry is still unclear to most sector stakeholders, it is positioned to become a major player in humanitarian and development sector.<\/p>\n In order to support the development of an effective and sustainable social protection system in Nigeria, NASSCO (the implementing body of NASSP) and Child Development Grant Programme (CDGP) jointly commissioned a political economy analysis in June 2018 to better understand the contextual and institutional dynamics around social protection system development at the national and state levels in Nigeria.<\/p>\n It also seeks to understand how best to contribute to positive change in the sector, including integrating local and global best practices and ensuring a nutrition-sensitive approach.\u00a0 Additional key stakeholders also supported this objective including DFID, the World Bank, and UNICEF. In view of the recent events like the general elections and major changes in the social protection institutional architecture, it is important to conduct a PEA to understand the rapidly changing dynamic in the polity, particularly the changes that affect the social protection sector.<\/p>\n The need to understand factors and actors in the social protection sector is critical due to major changes resulting from the President\u2019s creation of a new ministry to oversee the national social investment programmes. It is important to note that this PEA is designed to update the existing PEA conducted before the election.<\/p>\n Objectives:<\/strong> Scope of Work:<\/strong><\/p>\n The PEA will have three key sections as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n Methodology:<\/strong> Key Activities:<\/strong> Deliverables and Timelines:<\/strong><\/p>\n The information below provides details of key tasks, deliverables and timelines for this assignment:<\/p>\n Tasks:<\/strong><\/p>\n Expected Output \/ Deliverable – Days:<\/strong><\/p>\n Payment Schedule:<\/strong><\/p>\n Payment:<\/strong><\/p>\n Required Skill and Experience:<\/strong><\/p>\n Tender Document:<\/strong>
