The project seeks the services of a contractor who could provide a pool of social protection experts to support the project implementation efforts. The fields of expertise are Social Security Regulation, Sub-national Delivery Capacity Improvement, and Organisational Development (in the context of social protection actors). These experts will be asked to provide analysis, advice, and produce specific outputs based on the work areas jointly identified by the GIZ project staff members and the counterparts in government. Besides the short-term experts in the mentioned fields, the contractor"s expert pool manager and national coordinator will manage the short-term experts, liaison with GIZ and government actors, and ensure quality of outputs.

For Social Security Regulation, the expert(s) are expected to provide advice to the newly founded Cambodia Social Security Regulator to improve the detailed design, further mature operational procedures, backstop these nascent business processes, and build capacity at the business units and individuals. The organisation is now in the process of starting up with a few key staff members tasked with designing the details. Technical support by GIZ is ongoing and the contractor is envisioned to further intensify the technical assistance. The goal at the end of the project term is for the Social Security Regulator to be operating successfully.

In Sub-national Delivery Capacity Improvement, the expert(s) are needed to design assessment framework which can be used to identify knowledge and skills gap in social protection program front-liners (village chiefs, commune councillors), supervise the capacity assessment exercise, design capacity improvement interventions, and provide technical backstopping to the implementation of the chosen interventions. This area of work is to improve the ability of village chiefs and commune councillors to support those eligible for social protection programs, allowing the people to better navigate the bureaucracy and take up their entitlements. The contractor"s expert(s) are expected to cooperate with local service providers which will be hired directly by ISPH to conduct the capacity assessment and capacity improvement interventions.

Across both areas of work, it is envisioned that general organisational development experts are needed. In the area of strengthening the Social Security Regulator, organisational development expertise is necessary to improve the design and operations of the new organisation. For strengthening sub-national actors in social protection program management, general advice on how to improve organisational set-up at the village, commune, district, province and ministry level is necessary.
