Malawi Country Monitoring Report on CSEC

Organisational Background Information

ECPAT International is a global network of civil society organisations dedicated to ending the commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) which includes the exploitation of children through prostitution, child sexual abuse materials, trafficking of children for sexual purposes and the sexual exploitation of children in travel and tourism. It seeks to ensure that children everywhere enjoy their fundamental rights free and secure from all forms of commercial sexual exploitation.

The ECPAT International network currently has 90 member organisations in 82 countries.[1] ECPAT Member Groups are involved in the implementation of various initiatives to protect children at local and national levels, while the ECPAT Secretariat (based in Bangkok, Thailand) provides technical support, research and information. It also represents and advocates on key issues at the international and regional level on behalf of the network.

Background Information and Rationale

For more than a decade, the ECPAT International Secretariat has prepared and published Country Monitoring Reports (CMRs) to follow-up the implementation of the Stockholm Agenda for Action (1996)^{^[2]} which was an outcome of the first World Congress against the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children. These reports are intended to foster evidence-based advocacy in a specific country to promote legislative and policy improvements against CSEC.

The Agenda for Action against Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children provides a detailed framework and categories of actions to be taken by governments in partnership with civil society organisations and other relevant actors for combating CSEC. Broadly, these actions have been focused on: 1) Coordination and Cooperation; 2) Prevention; 3) Protection; 4) Recovery and Reintegration; and 5) Child Participation. The Agenda for Action has thus been the formal and guiding structure used by governments that have adopted it and committed to work against CSEC. It has also been used in the past to structure and guide the research, analysis and preparation of information presented in CMRs on the status of implementation of the Agenda in individual countries.

In October 2015, ECPAT International submitted a Network Development Project Proposal to the Human Dignity Foundation,[3] which was approved in December of that year.

Within the project, an ECPAT International Strategic Framework for Africa (2015-2018) was proposed, linked to priorities under ECPAT International’s own Strategic Framework Goals that will guide the work of the organisation and its network in Africa from 2015-2018. The Framework for Africa was developed through a series of consultations in 2013 and 2014, which gathered input on priorities and strategies to combat CSEC in the continent from the ECPAT Africa network and key stakeholders including the African Union, UN agencies and various other international, pan-African, national and local organisations.

These Africa consultations emphasised the need to apply concerted efforts towards bridging gaps in the general areas of protection, prevention, policy and legal frameworks, and enforcement. They also highlighted prevailing vulnerabilities to CSEC in need of urgent attention such as sexual exploitation of children online, sexual exploitation of children in travel and tourism, children in mixed migration flows and those caught in armed conflict. Consequently, the Strategic Framework addresses these identified issues as well as sets a core aim of building the capacity of the ECPAT network in Africa to enable members to conduct effective advocacy work at the national, continental and international levels. In the Africa Region, the project will support the implementation of key elements of the ECPAT Regional Strategy for Africa, already developed by ECPAT’s members in this region for the period 2015-2018 and the assessment of its implementation and results.

One of the specific objectives of the Africa Framework was to “convene, broker and lead cutting-edge research, knowledge creation, and dissemination.” One of its sub-objectives was to “increase knowledge on the commercial sexual exploitation of children in Africa in order to better protect children from commercial sexual exploitation and provide comprehensive, reliable and up-to-date information on CSEC in 10 countries in Africa.”

In order to meet these objectives, it was decided that two CMRs on CSEC would be produced for countries that will be reviewed by the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child or the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child. Based on these criteria, and the above objectives, Malawi was chosen as the first country in which to carry out research.

Purpose of the CMR

To increase knowledge of the commercial sexual exploitation of children in Malawi in order to better protect children from commercial sexual exploitation and contribute comprehensive, reliable and up-to-date information on CSEC at the national and regional levels.

Specific Objective

To produce a comprehensive and up-to-date Country Monitoring Report (CMR) on CSEC in Malawi as part of ECPAT’s Strategic Framework for Africa (2015-2018).

Scope of the Report

This report should provide a comprehensive baseline of information on CSEC in the country; assess achievements, challenges and priority actions to combat CSEC; and serve as an advocacy instrument among various stakeholders and duty-bearers within the country as well as internationally, including the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child.

The CMR will, at a minimum, address the following elements/issues related to CSEC:

· National Plans of Action

· Coordination and Cooperation at local, national, regional and international levels

· Prevention Mechanisms

· Protection Measures (law and policy) for each manifestation of CSEC

· Access to Justice for Victims and Survivors

· Child and Youth Participation

· Recommendations for Action

Methodology

The primary responsibility for preparing the CMR will be the Lead Researcher within Malawi, with feedback and technical advice from the ECPAT Secretariat, ensuring that the CMR meets an agreed upon common standard. The standard is based on ECPAT’s CMR Guidelines, which describe the structure and content of the Report. The Lead Researcher should construct the CMR based on these Guidelines.

Preparatory work for the CMR will involve a review of the literature available, including law and policy, on sexual exploitation. Secondary sources will provide the basis of the information for the report, including CRC country and alternative reports as well as the UNCRC’s Concluding Observations and Recommendations, OPSC country and alternative reports, the reports of the UN Special Rapporteurs, as well as research and field studies of ECPAT, governmental and non-governmental organisations, regional bodies and UN agencies.

This information will be processed and analysed and then formatted into a draft report by the Lead Researcher in the country. A number of tools have been prepared to assist the researcher in his or her work and to ensure consistency in the gathering, interpreting and analysing of information from different sources. These tools include a detailed glossary of CSEC terms, guides to determine reliable/unreliable sources as well as relevant CSEC-related research tools, and guidelines on the type of information to be collected and how to organise it. The ECPAT Secretariat will review and provide feedback on the draft report. The Report should be in English and ideally between 50-100 pages in length.

Professional Qualifications

Requirements for entities/organisations

· Project lead must comply with the eligibility requirements for individuals

There is the possibility for a launch or roundtable validation upon completion of the report.

Background

ECPAT International is the only global network dedicated solely to ending the commercial sexual exploitation of children[1]. The ECPAT network is composed of 92 member Organisations based in 80 countries and its International Secretariat is based in Bangkok.

The ECPAT Secretariat coordinates the global work of ECPAT International and designs programmes, and advocacy strategies to facilitate a range of network initiatives to make the greatest impact on combating Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC).

The year 2016 marks the 10^th anniversary of the Global Study on Violence against Children and the 20th anniversary of the first World Congress against the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC). Very importantly, it will be the first year of implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), by which the international community has committed to eradicating the exploitation of children through prostitution, pornography and trafficking before 2025. The concurrence of these three occasions presents a unique opportunity to make 2016 a landmark Year of Action to galvanize world attention and reenergize commitment to ending violence against children, including their sexual exploitation.

The 2016 Year of Action will consist of high level events, communication and mobilisation initiatives by a wide range of stakeholders, including governments, regional mechanisms, NGOs, international agencies, UN agencies, faith based organisations, law enforcement agencies, the private sector and the media. While 2016 activities mainly take place at the international and regional levels, strong national coalitions and campaigns are expected to be launched later in the year and in 2017. This local to global movement will galvanise and sustain the mobilisation initiated during the Three World Congresses against Sexual Exploitation of Children.

ECPAT International is seeking communications support, with a particular focus on copy/editing and social media management, for three months, to support important projects like the global launch of the Global Study on the Sexual Exploitation of Children in Travel and Tourism or the development of a new website.

Draft and edit communication materials for the launch of the Global Study on Sexual Exploitation of Children in Travel and Tourism in May 2016, and other key 2016 events, including press releases, media packs and Q&As.
Liaise with web-designers and ECPAT staff to finalise the new Global Study website and upload content prior to the launch in May 2016.
Develop social media advisories for the launch of the Global Study and other key Year of Action events.

Draft and edit updates for the ECPAT network and our partners on the 2016 Year of Action.

Background:

ECPAT International

ECPAT International is a global network of organisations working together against the sexual exploitation of children, with member organisations in over 80 countries around the world. The Secretariat of the network is based in Bangkok, Thailand.

Global Legal Database

During the first semester of 2016, ECPAT International is conducting a Global Legal Review on criminal provisions addressing the sexual exploitation of children online. The information from the Global Legal Review will be made accessible through and online database (integrated with ECPAT International’s institutional website).

Substantive criminal national legislation of 99 countries;
Procedural criminal legislation of 28 countries;

covering offences, norms and rules related to sexual exploitation of children online, and an assessment of the law provisions related to their compliance with international and regional legal instruments.

Further, the database should include a section detailing an overview per region, highlighting identified major gaps and suggesting possible solutions through a series of recommendations.

Eventually, the database is meant to expand and include additional countries until global coverage is reached.

Lead Researcher

Zimbabwe Country Monitoring Report on CSEC

Organisational Background Information

Background Information and Rationale

For more than a decade, the ECPAT International Secretariat has prepared and published Country Monitoring Reports (CMRs) to follow-up the implementation of the Stockholm Agenda for Action (1996) which was an outcome of the first World Congress against the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children. These reports are intended to foster evidence-based advocacy in a specific country to promote legislative and policy improvements against CSEC.

In October 2015, ECPAT International submitted a Network Development Project Proposal to the Human Dignity Foundation,[3] which was approved in December of that year.

In order to meet these objectives, it was decided that two CMRs on CSEC would be produced for countries that will be reviewed by the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, the Universal Periodic Review of the UN Human Rights Council or the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child. Based on these criteria, and the above objectives, Zimbabwe was chosen as the second country in which to carry out research.

Purpose of the CMR

To increase knowledge of the commercial sexual exploitation of children in Zimbabwe in order to better protect children from commercial sexual exploitation and contribute comprehensive, reliable and up-to-date information on CSEC at the national and regional levels.

Specific Objective

To produce a comprehensive and up-to-date Country Monitoring Report (CMR) on CSEC in Zimbabwe as part of ECPAT’s Strategic Framework for Africa (2015-2018).

Scope of the Report

The CMR will, at a minimum, address the following elements/issues related to CSEC:

· National Plans of Action

· Coordination and Cooperation at local, national, regional and international levels

· Prevention Mechanisms

· Protection Measures (law and policy) for each manifestation of CSEC

· Access to Justice for Victims and Survivors

· Child and Youth Participation

· Recommendations for Action

Methodology

The primary responsibility for preparing the CMR will be the Lead Researcher within Zimbabwe, with feedback and technical advice from the ECPAT Secretariat, ensuring that the CMR meets an agreed upon common standard. The standard is based on ECPAT’s CMR Guidelines, which describe the structure and content of the Report. The Lead Researcher should construct the CMR based on these Guidelines.

Professional Qualifications

Essential

· Advanced degree in human rights, law, international relations, social sciences or equivalent.

· At least three years of professional experience, specific proven experience in research of at last one year.

· Proven excellent research and analytical skills; experience in drafting and commissioning research papers.

· Proven knowledge of children’s rights and international legal frameworks.

· Experience in working with human rights and social development issues specifically as they relate to the rights of children.

· Excellent English language capability.

Desirable

· Previous experience working in Zimbabwe

· Specific knowledge on Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children

Requirements for entities/organisations

· Project lead must comply with the eligibility requirements for individuals

· Entity must be legally registered in the country where it is located.

· Must provide a description of the team.

Final Outcome

The CMR will conclude with final recommendations for action which reflect the most important CSEC themes/concerns in the country. Once finalised, the report and recommendations will be used by ECPAT staff, as well as local, national, regional and international organisations, in advocacy within Zimbabwe as well as the region. There is the possibility for a launch or roundtable validation upon completion of the report.

Terms and Conditions
