Introduction:

World Vision is a Christian humanitarian organization dedicated to the wellbeing of children, especially the most vulnerable children, their families and communities. It is committed to serve and partner with people in need regardless of religion, ethnicity, gender and ability. World Vision has been active in Bangladesh since 1970 and in the decades since, its mandate has focused on maternal and child health and nutrition, education, child protection and community resilience.

Inherent within the Nobo Jatra Theory of Change is the recognition that addressing pervasive challenges related to food security, nutrition and resilience requires broader coordination and longer term solutions that can only be achieved by strengthening linkages with relevant state and non-state actors at the national and regional level. Further compounding the situation is a reliance in Bangladesh on a centralized model of governance, in which the most important decisions related to resource allocation are invariably taken at the national level, with limited collaboration across different ministries and sectors.

Specific objectives of Nobo Jatra’s Government Accountability and Capacity Building are shown below:

· To promote multi-lateral inter-ministerial collaboration at the national level with focus on resource allocation, based on evidence generated through the project through advocacy and accountability strengthening mechanisms.

· To ensure citizen and new civil society engagement in the development and achievement of policy actions and commitments, with critical branches of central Government, namely the Local Government Division (LGED) of the Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives and; 2) the Department of Disaster Management (DDM) of the Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief (MoDMR) and; 3) the Ministry of Women and Children Affairs (MoWCA).

· To promote new capacity, efforts and resources dedicated to key challenges relevant to the design and effective implementation of social safety nets and DRR/resilience through demonstration of Nobo Jatra results and showcase best practices.

Nobo Jatra is thus seeking to engage a short term consultant initially for three months to develop a detailed strategy and implementation plan for the Government Accountability and Capacity Building component. A detailed scope of work and specific deliverables for the consultancy is described in the subsequent section.
