**Job no**: 561566

**Contract type**: Consultant

**Duty Station**: Abu Dhabi

**Level**: Consultancy

**Location**: Gulf Area Office (GAO), Utd.Arab.Emir.

**Categories**: Child Protection

UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.

Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.

And we never give up.

**For every child, Education**

In recent years the Gulf countries have made progress with their child rights and child protection system reforms. Largely, this has been through the passing of new child protection laws or reforming existing laws in accordance with the CRC concluding observations and the initiation of policy reforms and new programmes. Countries like the UAE, KSA and Kuwait are also embarking on initiatives that will strengthen the existing child protection systems. In 2018, the UAE became the first country in the region to join the Global Partnership to End Violence Against Children as a Pathfinding Country and committed to hosting the next Solutions Summit in 2020 (postponed). The UAE also contributes to other international efforts around child protection. Similarly, there are numerous initiatives in KSA that demonstrate intent to strengthen policy frameworks and legislation on child rights, including the development of a National Framework on Child Online Safety (finalization stage). With UNICEF support, Kuwait has a developed a roadmap for child protection systems strengthening.

To facilitate system level reforms, UNICEF provides technical assistance and access to high-level experts and international good practices appropriate for the Gulf, in which updating legislation becomes a key area of work. Laws, bylaws, and decrees need to be constantly reviewed using international standards as benchmarks to ensure that the existing legal and policy is commensurate with the CRC and other international legal instruments.

UNICEF seeks the support of a senior legal expert to conduct a review of the laws and decrees to both assess compliance with international standards, progress made since most recent treaty body reviews and to make specific recommendations for reforms. This exercise will include review of all legislation having implications for child rights and protection, including those related to justice for children and migration. The exercise would also include a legal audit to determine what is missing in the realm of child rights. The purpose of the review is to inform UNICEF’s advocacy and policy work with the government entities and other partners.
