The purpose of this Request for Proposal for Services (RFPS) is to select and contract a service provider (SP) to research and design a compelling, evidence-based communication and advocacy strategy to mobilize greater and more sustained commitment from major decision-makers on the value of investing in community-based services in order to accelerate childcare system reforms across Europe and Central Asia.
The strategy will support advocacy efforts to increase or re-allocate European, national and local resources towards social inclusion of vulnerable families and children with a particular focus on the development of appropriate support services and protection of children below three years and those with disabilities. The aim is to mobilize greater, more sustained, public and political engagement of major stakeholders (European Commission DGs, European Union Parliamentarians, governments, and donors/foundations active in the social sector) on the value of investing in the transition from institutional to community-based care.
Proposal submission deadline is 15 July, 2015.
