Background |
|||||||||||||||||
Under the principle of Leaving No One Behind (LNOB), Inclusive Development and Growth (IDG) portfolio of UNDP Malaysia is committed to support the Government of Malaysia in achieving the 11th Malaysia Plan’s (11MP) and to prioritize strategies towards raising the income and wealth of B40 households; addressing the increasing cost of living; and enhancing the delivery system of B40 households programmes by streamlining support to B40 households and complementing the Poverty Line Income (PLI) measurement with the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) as well as supporting inter-related strategies aimed at improving the quality of education and productivity in order to raise the income and wealth of B40 households. As vulnerabilities of households have assumed multi-dimensional characteristics, the programme goes beyond absolute income thresholds with a targeted focus and prioritization on the B40 households, alongside spatial dimensions, inter and intra-ethnic distinctions (notably indigenous communities in Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia), women and other vulnerable communities, including undocumented communities.
Aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 2030, UNDP Malaysia work in partnership with the government agencies to support in high-level policy development, technical expertise, capacity building as well as collaboration across public and private sectors. Independent County Programme Evaluation (ICPE) has provided some broad recommendation on the Programme and IDG shall be shaped in the new CPD 2021-2025.
Under the B40 Action Plan project, through UNDP’s partnership with the Economic Planning Unit (EPU), a proof-of-concept experiment was piloted to test citizen-centric approach that may improve the B40 experiences and access to available government services. Away from the conventional means of UNDP doing things which primarily focus on high-level engagement with the Government of Malaysia, the experiment charted a new opportunity for UNDP to engage directly with the leaders and communities at the grassroots level.
The citizen-centric approach was proposed as one of the key recommendations from the B40 Action Plan formulated through bottom-up consultative process with the B40 communities in 2016. The approach was inspired by private sector’s success with the Customer Journey Approach as a business strategy to make products and services widespread and easily accessible to its customers. Piloted in three states, the approach aims to test if a facilitative case management using existing social structure can improve the citizen’s experiences and access to available government.
Throughout the pilot implementation, the experiment unpack many essential insights and lesson learned useful for both programmatic and policy development. UNDP Malaysia is seeking a consultant who is able to undertake a rapid review exercise to extract best practice and lesson learns of the B40 Action Plan project and generally the IDG portfolio. Under the guidance of the Assistant Resident Representative (ARR) Programme, the consultant will conduct desk review, undertake information analysis, and contribute to the documentation of lesson learned as well as best practices from the pilot.
