TERMS OF REFERENCE
Title: Local coordinator
Location: Tiranë, Kukës, Elbasan, Librazhd,
Start of assignment: 04.01.2018
End of assignment: 30.11.2018
Background
Municipalities have the obligation to provide certain services to the vulnerable groups, with the aim of realizing their rights. Services provided to vulnerable groups from local government are in the form of economic assistance, residential and community social care services. This project intends to develop a needs assessment and a monitoring methodology; to increase capacities of Ombudsman and local government, as well as to develop the awareness of institutions and citizens. Actually not all citizens of vulnerable groups have access to these services or there are needed services that are not provided.
Among the issues that have been encountered over the years with local government in terms of providing services to vulnerable groups are: not timely payment of relevant economic assistance, such as disability payment and payment of economic aid; termination of economic aid; failure to resolve the housing issue; identification of needs of family in need included in the scheme of economic assistance; lack of access to public urban transport and non-reimbursement of tickets for persons with disabilities; the lack of budget estimates by the local government bodies of the funds required to provide economic aid outside of the criteria for special cases, such as families in blood feuds etc..
