PACER Plus Implementation Unit: RfP - Development of the Pacific Guidelines on Sustainable Labour Migration Reintegration: 2024/709+
Pacific Vacancies Announcement No. 2024/709+ ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ? Request for Proposal: Procurement of Services Development of the Pacific Guidelines on Sustainable Labour Migration Reintegration Consultancy type:
? Background: The Arrangement on Labour Mobility (ALM) is an annex to the PACER Plus, and provides a regional framework to increase labour mobility cooperation in the region. The ALM was signed in 2017 by the following countries: Australia, Cook Islands, Kiribati, Nauru, New Zealand, Niue, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu. The PACER Plus Implementation Unit (PPIU) is seeking proposals from suitably qualified locally and international based consultants who wish to provide services to develop the Pacific Guidelines on Sustainable Labour Migration. Reintegration is increasingly understood to include the workers, their families and communities, and the broader social, economic, and governance environment in both labour sending and labour receiving countries. According to the International Organization for Migration (IOM), reintegration can be considered sustainable when returnees have reached levels of economic self-sufficiency, social stability within their communities, and psychosocial well-being that allow them to cope with (re)migration drivers. Having achieved sustainable reintegration, returnees are able to make further migration decisions a matter of choice, rather than necessity “. As such, a more integrated and nuanced reintegration approach that is adapted to the specific needs of Pacific labour mobility workers is needed. ? ?

Marshall Islands Government: Autism Advisor: Neurodiversity Access and Accommodation: 2024/690
Pacific Vacancies Announcement No. 2024/690 ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ? Autism Advisor: Neurodiversity Access and Accommodation ? Terms of Reference Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) Individual Consultant
? Background: The Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) is one of the world’s clan-based societies. The country consists of 29 atolls and 5 isolated islands (24 of which are inhabited) and has a total land mass of just 181 km2 set in an area of over 1.9 million km2 in the Pacific Ocean. There is a growing recognition that the foundations of human capital formation in RMI are at risk despite improvements in national and household wealth. Poor early life health and nutrition, lack of early stimulation and learning, and exposure to poverty and severe stress threaten the ability of thousands of children to reach their full potential. These challenges are manifest in high rates of early childhood undernutrition and poor child development outcomes. In RMI, children experience adversities across multiple domains, undermining children’s opportunities to be healthy and prepare for future endeavors. Barriers to optimal child development in RMI span across sectors, including: (i) limited availability, affordability, and consumption of nutritious diets, especially for women and children from vulnerable households; (ii) inadequate access to quality maternal and child health, nutrition, and immunization services; (iii) inadequate access to clean water and sanitation; (iv) insufficient opportunities for early stimulation and early learning; and (v) lack of support through formalized social assistance mechanisms. Cutting across all of this is a general low awareness of the importance of early child stimulation, health and nutrition. To address the above constraints, the Government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands is developing a comprehensive, integrated, early childhood development (ECD) program. The ECD-II constitutes the second phase of the International Development Association (IDA)-financed support to RMI’s ECD sub-sector. Since 2019, the Recipient has been implementing the Multisectoral Early Childhood Development Project (ECD-I) — considered to be a flagship of the government — to comprehensively address the need of the nation's young children and their families. The ECD-II project aims to address Marshallese families’ key constraints to utilizing ECD services. Extending interventions and services to children with disabilities, including more accessible learning materials, whilst systemically increasing capacity to enable operationalization of existing RMI legislation on inclusive education services and the rights of people with disabilities is a significant initiative. The Government of the RMI is seeking an Autism Advisor to ensure early learning programs are inclusive and accessible to all children, with a particular focus on neurodiversity access and accommodation. ? Project Objectives and Description: GRMI seeks compassionate and skilled Autism Advisor to enhance the capabilities of non-specialists working with autistic children. This role involves providing training, guidance, and support to educators, caregivers, and other professionals to foster an understanding and effective approach to working with autistic children. The ideal candidate will be an advocate for best practices in autism support and possess a strong background in both autism spectrum disorders and professional development. Key Responsibilities:
Institutional and Organizational Arrangements: The Autism Advisor reports to the Associate Commissioner of Early Childhood Education via the Special Education Director and has a dotted reporting line to the PIU Project Manager. The contract will be administered by the Ministry of Finance, through the ECD team. The Autism Advisor will submit monthly/semi monthly progress reports to the AC ECE, Director of Special Education, and PIU Project Manager. The National ECD Coordinator-PSS will submit the same reports to the Commissioner of Education. All financial records and payments will be coordinated by the National Coordinator ECD-PSS and submitted to MoF DIDA CIU-FM for review, approval, and payment processing.?
