Tender Description:

UNICEF announces tender -  Institutional Contract for Development of an Academic Course on Inclusive Social Protection in Georgia.

Inclusive social protection is a critical pillar for poverty reduction, equity, and human capital development. In Georgia, UNICEF has 'dentified ongoing gaps in conceptual, analytical, and operational understanding of social protection among decision-makers, practitioners, and future professionals. At present, Georgian higher education institutions offer limited structured academic opportunities focused specifically on inclusive social protection, resulting in insufficient pre-service and interdisciolinary capacity development in this field.

To address this gap, UNICEF Georgia intends to support the development of an academic course on Inclusive Social Protection within Georgian higher education institutions. The initiaüve aims to strengthen local academic capacity, promote sustainable academ ic ownership, and facilitate integration of social protection teaching into Georgian higher education.

The acaderic course may be designed for Bachelor's and/or Master's level teaching, depending on the findings of the needs assessment and consultations with participating universities. The course is expected to suitable for incorporation into existing academic programmes, such as social work, child rights, public oolicy, social policy, sociology, public health, economics, or related disciplines.

UNICEF Georgia seeks to engage an international university, academic institution, research institute, or specialized training institution with demonstrated expertise in socia ^l protection and curriculum develooment to provide technical assistance and methodological leadership for this initiative.

The selected institution will collaborate with Georgia- Academic Teams selected separately by UNICEF Georgia through a local expression of interest process

Participation in the Georgian Academic Team implies willingness and institutional interest to contribute to the codevelopment, contextualization, piloting, and potential future integration of the course within relevant academic programmes in Georgia. Formal commitment for institutionalization at this stage is desirable but not mandatory.
