Assignment Objective(s)
Pathway for Development of Samoa (PDS) 2021-2026 Linkages
Key Strategic Outcome 1: Improved Social Development
Key Priority Area 4: People Empowerment
Sector Linkages
Community Sector Plan 2024/2025 - 2027/2028
The Tautua Program prioritises five interconnected pillars of human development: Education, Health, Gender, Disability, and Social Protection. Guided by the Government of Samoa, Tautua provides an opportunity to create transformative change in human development by addressing complex development needs through multi-sectoral, innovative approaches that identify and focus on the underlying issues. Simultaneously, Tautua intends to be able to respond to emergency, and short-term needs, build capacity, and through research, monitoring, and evaluation apply lessons learned and evidence-based decision-making to continuously improve delivery. The goal for Tautua is improved health, education, gender equality and social outcomes, and social harmony for all Samoans.
Tautua has three end-of-investment outcomes (EOIOs):
EOIO1: Samoans, especially women and girls, youth, persons with disabilities, the vulnerable and those living in hardship, have more equitable access to health, education, disability and social protection services.
EOIO2: Samoans benefit from the delivery of more inclusive, gender-responsive and higher-quality health, education, community and social development, and social protection services in line with GoS priority areas.
EOIO3: Tautua is an effective partnership between the Governments of Samoa and Australia that supports Samoa's human development priorities and contributes positively to the bilateral relationship and delivers the specific EOIOs of each of the sub-programs.
These Terms of Reference (TOR) set out the conditions governing the conduct of a technical assistance assignment under the Tautua Program.
The assignment focuses on providing communications, creative content and public awareness support for the national rollout of the Child Wellbeing Benefit (CWB), the National THRIVE Registry, and Aiga ma Nu'u Manuia Health & Wellbeing Registration Fairs across Samoa.
The consultancy will support national and district-level awareness, mobilisation and implementation readiness through culturally appropriate, people-centred and visually engaging communications products aligned to the Government of Samoa's "Register with Care" approach.
Ministry of Family and Social Affairs (MFSA)
(Transitioning from the Ministry of Women, Community and Social Development - MWCSD)
The Ministry of Family and Social Affairs (MFSA), in close collaboration with the Ministry of Health (MOH), is preparing for the national rollout of the Child Wellbeing Benefit (CWB) and the National THRIVE Registry as part of Samoa's broader child wellbeing, prevention and early intervention agenda.
The rollout is expected to support approximately 16,000 children aged 0-35 months across Samoa's 51 districts and aligns with Samoa's Early Childhood Development (ECD) Framework 2024-2034 and long-term social protection strengthening efforts.
The national rollout combines child registration with wellbeing engagement, immunisation awareness, referral pathways, baseline data collection and strengthening of national child wellbeing systems. The approach recognises that financial support alone is insufficient to improve long-term child wellbeing outcomes and must be complemented by awareness, prevention, referrals and community engagement.
MFSA therefore seeks to engage a Communications & Creative Content Support Consultant to support national awareness, mobilisation and implementation readiness through effective, culturally grounded and visually engaging, inclusive communications and creative content during the rollout period.
Under the supervision of MFSA, the Consultant will support:
The Consultant will work closely with:
The following deliverables are designed to support effective national communications, public awareness and community mobilisation for the rollout of the Child Wellbeing Benefit (CWB), National THRIVE Registry and Aiga ma Nu'u Manuia Health & Wellbeing Registration Fairs.
Deliverables focus on the development and deployment of inclusive, culturally appropriate, visually engaging and timely communications products to strengthen registration readiness, district‑level mobilisation, child wellbeing awareness, immunisation engagement and understanding of the Government's "Register with Care" approach.
All deliverables will be developed in close collaboration with MFSA and relevant partners and will be subject to review and approval prior to public dissemination.
