Consultant for Milestones Achievements Documentation and Project Report Writing
1. Background
Save the Children’s PROMPT (Promoting Safe and Child-Friendly Legal Mechanisms and Pathways for Child Victims of Trafficking) project aims to ensure that child victims of trafficking experience safe, child-friendly, and gender-sensitive legal systems and processes, which will improve their ability to provide compelling testimonies, and assist in the rightful prosecution of perpetrators. It aims to institutionalize child- and gender-sensitive approaches in the training for the Government of Thailand’s social officials (including social workers, psychosocial workers, and shelter workers who care for children), legal officials, and translators for trafficking victims, as well as through advocacy for child- and gender-sensitive legal policy.
The recent 2021 Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report shows that Thailand has moved down to tier 2 watch list. The main reason is due to the notably fewer trafficking investigations effort, despite the impact of COVID-19. The identification of trafficking cases was reportedly lower than previous year. The report suggested strengthening victim’s identification procedure. That, the Thai government shall increase the capacity of the multidisciplinary team to efficiently identify victims of trafficking, particularly among migrant workers.
The consultant will support in writing of the PROMPT project final report that captures key project progress and summary of project achievements and milestones. This will include comprehensive analysis of the achievements, challenges, and lessons learned occur during the life of this project. The consultant will also support in developing the project milestones achievement documentation which clearly outlines the project milestones in achieving targeted results in advocacy, for instance the Reflection Period and recommendations towards the TIP report. The documentation of project advocacy milestones will be used to demonstrate progress and further identify long-term advocacy pathways for SC and partner to achieve improvement of trafficking legal process for child-trafficked survivors. The consultant will develop the first draft, and finalize the report after feedback from the project coordinator and technical advisors as appropriate.
