Available Title: Research Consultant (Inclusion of People with Disabilities)

Research Consultant (Inclusion of People with Disabilities) on Enhancing Accessible Community Engagement for Forcibly Displaced People with Disabilities in Asia and the Pacific UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is offering an Individual Consultancy Contract within the Regional Bureau for Asia and the Pacific team in Bangkok.

In 2021, UNHCR’s Regional Bureau for Asia and the Pacific completed a comprehensive survey on regional practices, capacities, and plans around work on Accountability to Affected People (AAP). A consistent challenge that emerged across the 14 Country Operations and 3 Multi-Country Offices with Asia and the Pacific that took part in the survey was the difficulty in ensuring that the various communication with communities, feedback response mechanisms and participatory approaches were inclusive and accessible for forcibly displaced people with disabilities. For the purposes of this work, we will collectively refer to these three activities/ approaches (communication with communities, feedback response mechanisms and participatory approaches) as community engagement.

There is limited understanding and practical resources on how to ensure access for a wide variety of persons with disabilities, particularly those outside of sight and mobility impairments. This includes lack of awareness of best practices, what characteristics make something inclusive and simple measures that can be taken across various channels and/or formats, both analogue and digital. This was highlighted to be not only as a challenge for UNHCR country teams, but also reported to apply to implementing partners and government authorities across multiple countries in Asia and the Pacific where there are displaced populations.

These inclusion challenges are further compounded by existing difficulties of engaging forcibly displaced people in a variety of contexts across the region. Teams regularly have to manage the impacts of the lack of access to communities due to COVID restrictions, security situations, cultural norms, remoteness of some locations, limited access and availability of communication channels, limited connectivity, low digital literacy, among others.

UNHCR is a global organization dedicated to saving lives, protecting rights and building a better future for refugees, forcibly displaced communities and stateless people. Every year, millions of men, women and children are forced to flee their homes to escape conflict and persecution. We are in over 130 countries, using our expertise to protect and care for millions.

Organizational context

UNHCR teams have adapted their strategies to enable more remote engagement and are continuing to work with communities to find preferred and accessible communication and feedback channels. This always must keep in mind the need to adapt to the capacities, barriers, needs and preferences of individuals of different ages, genders and diversity. The Regional Bureau of Asia and the Pacific is working to enhance guidance and tools to enable the better understanding and application of principles and practices that promote the inclusion of people with disabilities. This work will map the challenges and barriers faced by people with disabilities along with existing work done by UNHCR and other humanitarian actors to develop practical tools and guidance that country teams can use to adapt, contextualize, and co-create materials and strategies that consider a diversity of disabilities. This will not only help UNHCR enhance their own materials and approaches, but also its ability to support implementing partners and government counterparts to do the same.

The objectives of this consultancy are:

· Identify most common challenges faced by country teams and their partners to develop accessible tools and carry out participatory activities for people living with disabilities.

· Map various barriers that persons with different types of disabilities face, and the most efficient ways of mitigating these barriers (through both broad accessibility measure, using Universal Design principles and dedicated adjustments) so that communication materials, feedback mechanisms and participatory approaches are accessible to different groups.

· Identify promising digital and analogue practices and existing tools that can be built on, contextualized and improved.

· Building on previous work, develop a suite of tools and guidance that country teams can readily use to enhance the accessibility of initiatives across the components of Accountability to Affected People.

Duties and responsibilities

• Conduct a desk review of challenges faced by UNHCR country teams in Asia and the Pacific operations and their partners in ensuring the accessibility of community engagement activities and strategies for forcibly displaced women, girls, boys and men.

• Liaise with relevant UNHCR staff members in the operations, Regional Bureau of Asia and the Pacific and HQ to map the barriers faced by people with different types of disabilities

• If possible, use participatory approaches to engage displaced people with disabilities to inform the mapping and review of challenges and barriers

• Engage with civil society organizations, government actors, academics or other specialists in accessibility and inclusion or related fields to further inform the mapping and identification of barriers, as well as identifying potential synergies with relevant actors

• Review existing pieces of work by UNHCR and other humanitarian actors to identify an effective suite of tools to develop that will provide guidance and practical tools for teams to operationalize

• Incorporate feedback and questions from UNHCR staff members in the operational and Regional Bureau to finalize deliverables.

Core Deliverables:

• Short report with recommendations based on desk review and interviews

• Participatory methodology toolkit for creating information and communication materials in partnership with people with disabilities

• Building on previous work, develop/ adapt a short guide on making participatory approaches to community engagement accessible to people living with disabilities

• Templates for information materials accessible for people with different access needs

• Infographic of different disabilities and key considerations/ top tips on how to ensure approaches are inclusive for them

• Do’s and Don’ts list for the development of information and communication materials and strategies that ensure inclusion of people with disabilities

Note: These are the initial expectations. It is foreseen that the final list of outputs will be agreed during implementation of the project based on initial findings of the review of existing materials and challenges and recommendations from the person or partner engaged to complete the work.

Position Available: Cash Transfers – Impact Study Consultant 

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is offering an Individual Consultancy contract within the Regional Bureau for Asia and the Pacific team in Bangkok. The consultant will implement a study about the impacts on the use of multipurpose cash grant for basic needs in 3 operations / countries in Asia. Filed trips and the collect of information will be necessary to conduct the study.
UNHCR is a global organization dedicated to saving lives, protecting rights and building a better future for refugees, forcibly displaced communities and stateless people. Every year, millions of men, women and children are forced to flee their homes to escape conflict and persecution. We are in over 130 countries, using our expertise to protect and care for millions.

Organizational context
In recent years, UNHCR operations in the Asia & Pacific region have embarked on a wide range of designs when providing cash transfers to address the economic and protection vulnerability of persons of concern. CBIs have targeted different types of populations (IDPs, Refugees) in different contexts (such as camps, urban areas, emergency and protracted situations), using different selection criteria, duration and frequency. Most operations have also implemented specific programs to address the negative economic impacts of COVID.
CBIs address different types of needs depending on the objective and the design of each intervention. Cash transfers generate both short and long terms outcomes and can address immediate basic needs as well as support protection and solutions for beneficiaries. Outcomes, that also depend on complementary activities, are usually broad given the flexibility offered by the cash transfers to address a wide range of needs.
As for many UNHCR programs, the scale of the cash assistance in the region is often limited by the budget available and a certain lack of information related to the impacts and outcomes of the cash transfers, their contributions to protection and solutions strategies, and how these are affected by the design of the CBI, including scale and duration. This limits the ability of offices to benefit from the full potential of cash grants. It also reduces the opportunities to harmonize programs with government approaches (ex. Safety Net) or at regional level between UNHCR operations.
In order to improve the design of CBIs (MPCG) in operations and to support decisions on the level of assistance to provide, there is a need to better understand how different designs (targeting criteria, amount, frequency & duration) address different vulnerabilities, reaching different impacts (socio-economic & protection); and contribute differently to the UNHCR protection & solution strategies.

The position
The general objective of the consultancy is to study the various designs of cash transfer interventions [Multipurpose Cash Grant], in terms of targeting, amounts, duration and frequency, and their outcomes and impacts (including protection) in terms of addressing basic needs/vulnerabilities and contributing to the protection & solutions for beneficiaries. The study must inform UNHCR operations about the impacts they can reach depending on how much they invest in cash transfers, on the specific situation of the PoCs and on complementary activities. More specifically, objectives include:
1. To review existing knowledge, learning and good practices on the impacts and outcomes of multipurpose cash grants on socio-economic and protection vulnerabilities. In addition, to review lessons learnt from governmental safety net programs in terms of design & impacts and outcomes on the poorest.
2. To analyze and compare the impacts and outcomes of different multipurpose cash grants in 3 different UNHCR operations (India, Indonesia, Thailand), including both regular and COVID CBI response; and to compare them with longer term approach (Safety Net). Vulnerability and selection criteria should be factored in and as much as possible the effects of the end of the cash assistance should be analyzed.
3. To assess to which extent CBIs have reached their expected impacts and outcomes, and how the design of the interventions has affected the outcomes and impacts on beneficiaries.
4. To provide a forum of discussion between operations, promote sharing of experiences and identify good practices, lessons and priorities
5. To summarize the expected impacts and contributions to the protection & solution strategies of different MPCG designs and to recommend on their use (context, objective, dynamic).

The key research questions are:
1. What are the impacts and outcomes of multipurpose cash grant transfers? What are the main factors of vulnerability and how cash transfers impact them? How impacts and outcomes vary depending on the vulnerabilities and program design?
2. How does each approach/design contribute differently to the protection & solution strategies of the UNHCR operations? How complementary interventions influence?
3. What are the main constraints for operations to address existing needs and what are the priority actions required to improve CBI design, to reach sought outcomes in the operations and/or contribute further to protection & solutions?
As conclusion, the research must identify the lessons learnt and good practices and recommend on the ways forward for UNHCR.

General Approach & requirements. The type of information to collect as well as the sources of information and the tools use will be developed by the consultant at the beginning of the consultancy. It will be important to take into consideration:
• The specific vulnerabilities of the targeted POCs, especially related to their status (restricted access to work, socio-economic services, etc.).
• The short- and long-term impacts of the interventions on different aspects of beneficiaries’ life. This includes not only the socio-economic impacts and outcomes of the intervention, but also protection ones; and the effect of stopping the assistance.
• UNHCR approaches in different operations will be compared, along with a comparison of the usual impacts and outcomes of safety nets developed by governments.
• The impacts of different approaches and designs on UNHCR operations protection & solution strategies will be analyzed, to support recommendation about CBI design.
• Data will be collected from the beneficiaries directly or from key informants to complement data already existing. The survey will be designed, and its use overseen by the consultant, but the data collection can be implemented by UNHCR operations in each country covered.
The understanding of the context, the situation of beneficiaries (needs, selection criteria), the UNHCR objectives, strategies and interventions will be necessary to analyze the impacts of program on the beneficiaries & their contribution to achieve UNHCR’s objectives.

The consultant will work closely with the Senior CBI Officer of the Regional Bureau and liaise with different UNHCR staff as necessary, at the Bureau or in country offices Duties and responsibilities
Different outputs are expected through the consultancy, which will contribute to the final product (report & presentation). The final report should clearly formulate, for each research question the findings, conclusions, and recommendations.

• A detailed technical methodology including tools, information to collect, indicators, updated work plan, and final report structure (outline)
• A secondary data review of the existing knowledge, recommendations, and good practices
• Draft report, including country findings
• One online workshop/webinar to review findings, analysis, and recommendations with operations
• Final report summarizing findings and recommendations and including country chapters or annexes (max 25 pages excl. summary and annexes)
• One Webinar to present the findings (1 hour)

KEY ACTIVITIES includes:
1. Development and finalization of methodology (ex. tools) and confirmation of targeted countries
2. Secondary data collection (incl. desk review of studies & guidance) & calls/interviews with specialists
3. Briefings with the regional bureau, operations and HQ
• By end of week 5 or earlier as possible – Submit draft of “Information to date” report for review. The report should cover clear descriptions of (1) the MPCGs (Multipurpose cash grants) implemented in the selected countries, the situation/vulnerabilities of the targeted beneficiaries, the complementary activities and the protection & solution strategy, (2) the types of impacts and the impacts of MPCG to look at depending on the approach (ex. Anti-poverty programs, humanitarian assistance, etc.); (3) the methodology used for the study (including survey form, indicators, reviewed workplan and expected results) and a drafted outline of final report.
4. Mission travel
5. Primary data collection from operation / country (calls, online meetings, in-country survey & interviews)
6. Analysis and conclusions

• By end of week 10: First draft of the report including the description of the socio-economic and protection impacts of MPCG depending on the approach, contribution to protection strategies and key recommendations. The draft report will specifically a) summarize the vulnerability of targeted PoC before intervention and their situation/constraints (main factors of vulnerability), b) describes the socio-economic and protection impacts of CBIs (depending on their design) and the key changes brought to beneficiaries’ life’s (ex. theory change); c) details how these impacts contribute to the protection & solution strategies of operations and d) specifically address each research question. A draft agenda for the workshop with operation should also be presented, which objective is to discuss the finding and collect missing information if required.
7. Workshops (on-line – followed by satisfactory survey)
8. Report & webinar
• By end of week 12: finalization and approval of the final, consolidated version of the report

Essential minimum qualifications and professional experience required

Introduction

The Resilient, Inclusive and Sustainable Supply Chains project is a new, innovative project that uses global supply chains as an entry point for advancing decent work. It is financed by the Government of Japan, notably the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.

Over three years, with a budget of US$4 million and grounded in international labour standards, the ILO will support governments, employers’ and workers’ organizations in three countries with policy advice, guidance and tools to address decent work challenges and opportunities in three sectors: electronics manufacturing in Indonesia, automotive manufacturing in Thailand, and aquaculture in the Philippines. It will also assist ILO constituents in Japan with the effective implementation of the new National Action Plan on Business and Human Rights and forthcoming due diligence guidance through a better understanding of critical risks in global supply chains and best practice tools to mitigate the decent work deficits.
