**Responsibilities**:
The COVID-19 pandemic represented a covariant shock on a global scale and led almost all countries in the world to adopt measures that increased coverage and spending on social protection. This fact illustrates not only the importance of target 1.3, but also target 1.5 of the SDGs, which aims to “by 2030, build the resilience of the poor and those in vulnerable situations, and reduce their exposure and vulnerability to extreme events related to the climate”. and other economic, social, and environmental shocks and disasters”. The absence of adequate social protection mechanisms prevents those in situation of risk and vulnerability from being resilient to shocks and from overcoming them without resorting to short-term strategies that compromise inclusive growth and development.

In the case of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was imperative for governments to extend coverage and adapt social protection systems to the risks posed by the pandemic and the measures restricting the movement of people, which jeopardized not only the sustainability of businesses, but also the livelihoods of the population.

The research to be carried out by the consultancy will have the following objectives:

- Document and analyze digital innovations adopted during the COVID-19 response;
- Evaluate how the digitization of the social protection delivery chain affects (advantages and disadvantages) the access of the rural population to social protection in selected countries and draw lessons for Brazil;
- Analyze the determinants of differences between urban and rural areas in the coverage and adequacy of the different components of social protection and compare with the performance of Brazil.

The research reports will help to inform policymakers in Brazil and other countries around the world about international experiences regarding the use of digital innovation to expand social protection, with a particular focus on rural populations, and will also allow for a better understanding of the determinants of differences in coverage and adequacy of social protection between urban and rural areas.

Qualifications/special skills

- An advanced university degree (master’s degree or equivalent) in social sciences or economics or public/social policy.
- minimum of 3 years of experience in social policy and social protection, including topics related to social coverage for vulnerable groups (rural population, children, women, etc.) and/or related topics. Experience using qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods research.

Languages
- Fluency in Portuguese, English and Spanish
