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, Protection

Scope of work

In response to growing attention from the Italian Ministry of Interior and local authorities, UNICEF seeks to commission a comprehensive assessment to generate actionable evidence on the profiles, risks, and protection gaps affecting Bangladeshi unaccompanied and separated children (UASC) in Italy. The objective is to inform strategic programming, advocacy, and coordination efforts at both national and transnational levels. The scope of work will include profiling and documenting the experiences of Bangladeshi UASC along the entire migration journey—from pre-departure to post-arrival in Italy.

In this context, the consultancy at stake will add to the work of a researcher tasked with the assessment of effectiveness and limitations of current identification, age assessment, and referral systems in cases where children may be misclassified as adults through community engagement as well as involvement of Bangladeshi UASC. This will primarily include the search and translation of relevant sources informing the initial desk review (e.g. statistics, documents issued by the Bangladeshi authorities, UNICEF Bangladesh Country Office reports, etc.), as per the researcher’s guidance, as well as support in the review of methodology and tools aimed at community engagement. Particular attention will be paid to the outreach of key representatives of Bangladeshi diaspora and youth, in the view of organizing focus group discussions on protection risks and service gaps, especially those impacting misclassified children for which linguistic and cultural mediation will be needed. Finally, the consultant will support the review of the final assessment report and recommendations aimed at strengthening cross-border coordination and enhancing programmatic responses to better protect Bangladeshi UASC.
