Organization: UNICEF Indonesia
Violence against children is of significant concern in Indonesia, including physical violence, emotional violence and neglect as well as sexual violence. In Indonesia like in any other country, too often, abuse occurs in the shadows: undetected, unreported, and too often accepted.
UNICEF Indonesia is committed to taking action to prevent and respond to violence, including through several major initiatives led by the government of Indonesia and described in UNICEF’s Country Programme Document 2011-2015 signed in collaboration with the Government of Indonesia, and there are new opportunities for the Government of Indonesia, UNICEF and partners to enhance and strengthen work to prevent and respond to violence against children in the country.
The purpose of this consultancy is to work closely with the Ministry of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection (KPPA), Bappenas, Ministry of Social Affairs (MOSA), civil society and private sector partners to support the design of a robust, inter-disciplinary violence against children policy, advocacy and programme agenda for the next five years.

- Conduct a literature review to locate and analyse peer-reviewed journal articles about violence affecting children in Indonesia. Sources will include international databases such as PubMed as well as journals such as Child Abuse and Neglect, Child Maltreatment, Child Abuse Review and Journal of Interpersonal Violence. Grey literature will also be included for example through government data sources, local research in the country, in a collaborative manner with local and international academic partners.

- Draft, in partnership with a local consultant recruited by UNICEF based at KPPA, a revised National Action Plan on Violence against Children that reflects the inputs of stakeholders, the findings of the literature review and consultative workshop, as well as international good practice standards. This will include an overview of the situation of violence in Indonesia, desired programme and policy interventions, as well as clear benchmarks for success for measurement over time.
- Support, together with available expertise in UNICEF, the costing of the National Action Plan.
- Lead a participatory process of review with children and young people to feedback on the revised Action Plan, building on feedback from the VAC Survey and consultative workshop, utilizing innovative methodology such as UNICEF’s twitter-based U-Report.
