GLOBALLY CHILD PROTECTION CONSULTING SERVICES FOR GLOBAL AFFAIRS CANADA

BRIEF PROJECT HISTORY: In September 2014, the Canadian Government launched an international call for proposals aimed at putting together a list of prequalified individuals, organisations or joint ventures that could offer consulting services in four technical areas, including child protection. With child protection issues once again being considered as part of aiding Canadian development efforts, the government was seeking to identify support resources that could meet the eventual needs of its staff, more specifically in reviewing project proposals, launching calls for proposals in the field of child protection, reviewing the results of child protection projects, and analysing the political dialogue process on the matter.

GOALS:

On October 1, 2015, Global Affairs Canada informed the International Bureau for Children’s Rights that its proposal had been accepted The IBCR was thus asked to sign a master services agreement enabling relevant information to be made available to government personnel who wished to request the IBCR’s services in the future

Obtain approval of the International Bureau for Children’s Rights file in order to have its expertise included in the government system

Present the profiles of Guillaume Landry, Martin Nagler and Sarah Stevenson, the three experts prequalified by the government, in order to include them into the database of consultants

PARTNERS: Global Affairs Canada

ACHIEVEMENTS: The master services agreement has now been signed The IBCR can now receive requests for services under a new collaborative framework with the Canadian government
