REQUEST FOR QUOTATION-Terms Of Reference For A Study On Social Protection In India It is now well recognised that well-designed social protection interventions that go beyond welfare handouts can provide the impetus to the poor to move out of poverty, to participate in social and political life, and to contribute to wider processes of development and inclusive economic growth. Countries – developing and developed – have been designing and implementing a variety of social protection programmes targeted especially for the vulnerable groups. The thrust on social protection has gained momentum in recent years as countries deepen their poverty reduction efforts and the recent economic slowdown has given further impetus to social protection programmes and policies. In India, the government at the centre and in the states has over the years launched several schemes and policies that provide social protection especially to the poor women and men in the form of health insurance, labour market, social security, micro-credit, child protection and education support. UNDP globally has identified social protection as a key regional policy priority which will be the focus of major analytical work in the coming years. Social assistance and public employment figures among the key MDG acceleration strategies for developing countries. In this context, UNDP India is currently in the process of developing a framework and strategy that applies preferably a life cycle approach to identifying social protection interventions in India with a focus mainly on strategic and upstream areas. The CO needs to develop a broad framework for social protection within which it can identify and support strategic initiatives that respond to the country’s needs and current thinking in this area. The ongoing initiatives at UNDP[1] also need to be tied together within a broad framework of social protection as well as sharpened for their focus and result orientation within this broad framework. Given this context, the CO is inviting proposals from institutions to undertake the following: 1.Summarise the definitions, perspectives and frameworks for social protection used by the central and state governments, donors and other key agencies in India. 2.Assess and provide an overall social protection scenario in India which would involve: ·Identifying and listing relevant policies, programmes, schemes and budgets as well as summarising their key features in terms of the social protection aspect covered, the target group, duration, scope and scale etc. both at the central and the state[2] level. The analysis should highlight gender-differentiated impact of social protection programmes and the issue of “what is lacking for whom”. Developing and applying analytical framework to review and analyse the work of key players - government, NGOs, donors (Including UNDP) and financial institutions. This could cover areas such as approach promoted/adopted, responsiveness of their programmes/policies to the social protection needs of poor and vulnerable groups especially women, the extent of inclusion or exclusion in design and implementation, the performance and issues faced with respect to delivery/implementation of the programmes/policies, the adequacy of budgets, the scale of the programme in relation to the actual need on the ground etc. ·Collating information and validating the analysis through conducting a structured dialogue with relevant government officials, experts and donors associated with social protection issues and programmes in India as well a organising meetings/consultations with clear objectives could be organised with key stakeholders where required. During these meetings and from reports, important concerns of the beneficiaries of various social protection programmes could also be highlighted. 3.Prepare a compendium of relevant good practices covering national experiences. This could be prepared based on desk review of reports/publications and accessing relevant virtual networks including the UN Solution Exchange. 4.Based on the above, suggest a way forward for UNDP India which could provide a broad framework considering the social protection needs of the poor within a life cycle, a possible operational definition as well as possible specific areas e.g., identification of barriers to extension of social protection to the poorest, with a focus on understanding gender related vulnerabilities, designing interventions that are located at spatial and social intersections of vulnerability as well as community-based mechanisms for social protection.1.A summary of definitions, frameworks and perspectives2.An overall social protection scenario in India3.A compendium of relevant good practices4.A broad framework and key components of a possible UNDP strategy 2 months between 1 November and 31 December 2010 Information Required along with the Expression of Interest Experience of the institution in conducting research and studies on social protection issues, giving details (short paragraph along with details on title, year and funding/supporting) for those projects that are closest to the proposed study.

REQUEST FOR QUOTATION-Terms Of Reference For A Study On Social Protection In India It is now well recognised that well-designed social protection interventions that go beyond welfare handouts can provide the impetus to the poor to move out of poverty, to participate in social and political life, and to contribute to wider processes of development and inclusive economic growth. Countries – developing and developed – have been designing and implementing a variety of social protection programmes targeted especially for the vulnerable groups. The thrust on social protection has gained momentum in recent years as countries deepen their poverty reduction efforts and the recent economic slowdown has given further impetus to social protection programmes and policies. In India, the government at the centre and in the states has over the years launched several schemes and policies that provide social protection especially to the poor women and men in the form of health insurance, labour market, social security, micro-credit, child protection and education support. UNDP globally has identified social protection as a key regional policy priority which will be the focus of major analytical work in the coming years. Social assistance and public employment figures among the key MDG acceleration strategies for developing countries. In this context, UNDP India is currently in the process of developing a framework and strategy that applies preferably a life cycle approach to identifying social protection interventions in India with a focus mainly on strategic and upstream areas. The CO needs to develop a broad framework for social protection within which it can identify and support strategic initiatives that respond to the country’s needs and current thinking in this area. The ongoing initiatives at UNDP[1] also need to be tied together within a broad framework of social protection as well as sharpened for their focus and result orientation within this broad framework. Given this context, the CO is inviting proposals from institutions to undertake the following: 1.Summarise the definitions, perspectives and frameworks for social protection used by the central and state governments, donors and other key agencies in India. 2.Assess and provide an overall social protection scenario in India which would involve: ·Identifying and listing relevant policies, programmes, schemes and budgets as well as summarising their key features in terms of the social protection aspect covered, the target group, duration, scope and scale etc. both at the central and the state[2] level. The analysis should highlight gender-differentiated impact of social protection programmes and the issue of “what is lacking for whom”. Developing and applying analytical framework to review and analyse the work of key players - government, NGOs, donors (Including UNDP) and financial institutions. This could cover areas such as approach promoted/adopted, responsiveness of their programmes/policies to the social protection needs of poor and vulnerable groups especially women, the extent of inclusion or exclusion in design and implementation, the performance and issues faced with respect to delivery/implementation of the programmes/policies, the adequacy of budgets, the scale of the programme in relation to the actual need on the ground etc. ·Collating information and validating the analysis through conducting a structured dialogue with relevant government officials, experts and donors associated with social protection issues and programmes in India as well a organising meetings/consultations with clear objectives could be organised with key stakeholders where required. During these meetings and from reports, important concerns of the beneficiaries of various social protection programmes could also be highlighted. 3.Prepare a compendium of relevant good practices covering national experiences. This could be prepared based on desk review of reports/publications and accessing relevant virtual networks including the UN Solution Exchange. 4.Based on the above, suggest a way forward for UNDP India which could provide a broad framework considering the social protection needs of the poor within a life cycle, a possible operational definition as well as possible specific areas e.g., identification of barriers to extension of social protection to the poorest, with a focus on understanding gender related vulnerabilities, designing interventions that are located at spatial and social intersections of vulnerability as well as community-based mechanisms for social protection.1.A summary of definitions, frameworks and perspectives2.An overall social protection scenario in India3.A compendium of relevant good practices4.A broad framework and key components of a possible UNDP strategy 2 months between 1 November and 31 December 2010 Information Required along with the Expression of Interest Experience of the institution in conducting research and studies on social protection issues, giving details (short paragraph along with details on title, year and funding/supporting) for those projects that are closest to the proposed study.
