**Categories**: Social Policy

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, **_hope_**

Together with the Malaysian government and others who are truly passionate about child rights, UNICEF works in Malaysia to ensure every child has the opportunity to grow healthy and happy; live safely; and achieve their full potential.

With the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Sustainable Development Goals, and the 12th Malaysia plan as our guides, we endeavor to change minds, change policies, and in turn change the lives of all children in Malaysia.

**Background**

UPEN Sabah, Sabah’s Community Development and People’s Wellbeing Ministry and UNICEF Malaysia have agreed to design a Sabah Child Wellbeing Index (SCWI). The SCWI aims to define what child wellbeing means for Sabah, and through its measurement provide clear evidence on the possible areas of deprivation of children in the State. The index recognizes that poverty and wellbeing are multidimensional as well as context specific and these considerations will guide the design of the index throughout. Improving well-being of people and in particular children in Sabah is a key component of national and state level policies and plans. This index, representative of the different children living in Sabah, will enhance the development of policies and programmes and will provide detailed understanding of dimensions of well-being, which could be followed up overtime.

The design of a child wellbeing index, which includes but goes beyond multi-dimensional poverty and is fit to reflect realities of children across the state can be challenging. Learning from the experience of developing a child wellbeing Index in Sarawak, providing hands-on support and capacity to the national firm who will be leading the development of the index in Sabah will greatly help in the design and analysis of the index.

These terms of reference set out the objectives and scope of the role of a quality assurance firm/individual in support of the national team.

**How can you make a difference?**

**Objectives**

The main objectives of this research consultancy are as follows:

- Build capacity of the national team on developing a child-wellbeing index, including aspects of multidimensional poverty and beyond and sharing international best practices for all stages: identification of dimensions and indicators, development of index in terms of and can wait and composition, and index analysis
- Enhance the quality of the Sabah Child Wellbeing Index through interaction with the national team at key moments of the consultancy as specified in the scope of work

- Carry out a 2-3 day interactive workshop (ideally in person) to build capacity of the local teams and government counterparts on best international practices on Child Wellbeing Index from around the world, and their linkages with multi dimensional poverty measurements.
