Technical assistance for integrated primary health care services for children 0-6 years of age in Kosovo

The UNICEF Office in Kosovo seeks to engage an international consultancy firm to support Kosovo’s efforts to improve the quality and integration of Primary Health Care services for children. This includes development of standards of care that integrate home visiting and in-facility well-child visits at PHC; development of referral protocols; development of Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) Service Guidelines; preparation of ECI Advocacy Briefs for Kosovo, Montenegro, and North Macedonia; training packages, and a monitoring and evaluation framework. This work will contribute to implementation of the integrated model of care and service delivery pathway for children aged 0–6 years, outlining how services are connected across entry points and
providers, including home visiting, facility-based child health services, developmental monitoring, early childhood intervention services, immunization, nutrition, parenting support, and referral mechanisms. The model will define provider roles, coordination arrangements, referral and counter-referral processes, follow up procedures, and monitoring requirements to ensure a coherent and fully integrated primary health care
system. 
This assignment will contribute to the implementation of the Kosovo PHC Action Plan 2024–2026 and the ECI Strategic Document 2025–2030. Additionally, through development of three advocacy briefs and support facilitation of regional exchange initiatives-such as the ECI Technical Network meetings, it will contribute to knowledge sharing and strengthen sub-regional collaboration.
