UNICEF has now issued a Request for Proposals in order to select a service provider for the Advisory Services for the Development of the Country Social Spending Insights Tool (CSSIT). This RFPS aims to select a professional service provider who can lead the technical and analytical workstream supporting the development of the Country Social Spending Insights Tool (CSSIT), a key component of the Global Social Spending Dashboard (GSSD). Its primary purpose is to develop the methodological framework underpinning the digital platform to be created in a subsequent contract. This includes defining indicators, analytical dimensions, and data structures; compiling and validating data from multiple sources; and producing core analytical outputs such as Country Statistical Summaries and Recommendation Notes. These deliverables will form the analytical and data foundation for developing a comprehensive, user-friendly dashboard to be designed and implemented by the UNICEF-designated development team under a different contract.
