Agency: UNICEF | Reference: RFPS CLE 246-2026 | Type: Request for proposal IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Please express interest in participating via email to: licitacioneschile@unicef.org (The "Express interest" button that appears in this notice is disabled). GENERAL OBJECTIVE: To strengthen the capacity of the SLEP Iquique and Tamarugal to sustain systematic, traceable, and territorially relevant articulation with Local Child Protection Offices and the intersectoral network, through mechanisms built and adjusted with these institutions and selected educational establishments, with a common core for both services and documented adaptations for each territory. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: Install and accompany, in the local public education services of Iquique and Tamarugal, the coordination circuit with the Local Child Protection Offices of their territory, with designated counterparts, operating agreements between both institutions, referral and prioritization criteria, recording of agreements, and periodic review, based on the operational guideline that UNICEF will provide and its adjustment. Strengthen the capacity of each service to understand and articulate its relationship with the intersectoral child protection network, through a territorial map of actors; an agenda of priorities, agreements, and follow-up built with the Local Child Protection Offices and channeled through the Municipal Interinstitutional Articulation Tables; and the identification of current intervention and protection pathways, gathering the experience of the establishments to guide support, communications, and the progressive expansion that the service will lead. Develop the necessary capacities in the teams of each service to conduct coordination with the Local Child Protection Offices and the intersectoral network, through exchanges of experiences, joint analysis of situations and recurring issues, accompaniment to real meetings, feedback, and peer learning, incorporating local offices and selected establishments according to the relevance of each instance. Institutionalize the developed articulation mechanisms in each service, through their incorporation into their management instruments and the due assignment of responsibilities to existing units and teams. Document the implementation evidence in both territories, deliver an adjusted version of the operational guideline and a transfer package that allows for the replication or adaptation of the model in other local services. INSTITUTIONAL PROFILE: Given the scope and requirements regarding the objectives of the consultancy, the call is open to institutions established in Chile (universities, research centers, consultancies, etc.) with knowledge and experience in intersectoral articulation, comprehensive child protection, educational pathways, and the public education system; in the design and implementation of coordination mechanisms, territorial networks, technical assistance to public institutions and educational holders; in facilitation, participatory methodologies, adaptive learning; in systematization, tool development, model transfer; with territorial deployment capacity and operational work in the Tarapacá Region; as well as other methodologies deemed relevant.
