GOAL Syria is seeking a rigorous external end-of-project evaluation for its DFID-funded multi-sector response. The evaluation will be organised along OECD evaluation criteria and will assess the extent to which GOAL met its project objectives while providing lessons learned and best practices to inform future programming.

Project Objectives

The proposed impact of the project is “*Vulnerable men, women and children in Syria protect and sustain themselves against the effects of the Syria conflict*.” This would be achieved if “*urgent and medium-term needs of vulnerable people in Idleb, Syria are met.*” Through this project GOAL sought to achieve this result through four sectors – food security and livelihoods (FSL), water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), shelter/NFIs, and humanitarian coordination. Within each sector, GOAL employed a variety of modalities including cash and voucher-based assistance, direct distributions, and support to systems and infrastructure. GOAL implemented this project directly in the field and through its partners.

As part of the project strategy, these objectives are measured through the following indicators, as well as a number of tracking and counting indicators:

· % households with an adequate diet diversity

· % targeted households reporting a child under 5 had an episode of diarrhoea in the past 2 weeks

· % beneficiaries reporting that they had sufficient stocks to meet household needs in the previous 7 days

· % target population citing mains water as their main source of water

· % vouchers redeemed

· Average litres of water per person per day in targeted areas

Evaluation Purpose

The purpose of this evaluation is to assess GOAL’s performance and delivery of the DFID-funded project according to OECD evaluation criteria. The evaluation will help GOAL to improve its future programming through lessons learned and best practices generated through this project.

In addition, it will provide feedback on the performance of a number of activities both piloted and scaled up during the course of the project.

1.PROJECT BRIEF

In partnership with WFP, World Vision is implementing a Nutrition Project in Somaliland, Puntland and South Central Somalia; the current phase commenced in January and will run till December 2016. Precisely, the nutrition program is being implemented through adoption of the basic nutrition services package (BNSP) for Somalia as well as the complementary support mechanism of the Health/Nutrition cluster which identifies essential key areas for maternal and child health namely: management of acute malnutrition, micronutrient supplementation, immunization, de-worming, promotion and support for IYCF and maternal nutrition and care, prevention and management of common illnesses, monitoring and surveillance. The Community Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) component is managed using Somalia guidelines for management of acute malnutrition. A multi-sectoral approach has been deployed to make the project practical and to solve the health problems of the community. The project is ultimately targeted to benefit a total of 68,002 beneficiaries from several Fixed and Mobile (outreach) sites in Somaliland, Puntland and South Central Somalia.

Under this program, WFP provides the food requirements, whereas WV does the logistical support; beneficiary screening and providing technical support for the treatment of Moderate Malnutrition cases. At the community level, trained community nutrition/health workers conduct active case finding and referrals. WV deliberately targets beneficiaries by taking advantage of the existing established CMAM structures both at MCH and community level to promote adoption of age appropriate infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices.

2. Rationale & Survey OBJECTIVES

In the recent past, World Vision has conducted four separate SQUEAC Surveys in Burtnile, Eyl, Dolow & Lughaya whereby program coverage was benchmarked, barriers and boosters to programme services identified and action plans drawn. Aimed at building on the previous surveys, WV intends to review the progress on implementing previous action plans and equally conduct similar investigation in other 3 selected districts. To achieve this, the program is seeking services of an experienced Consultant to lead the SQUEAC Surveys in Somaliland, Puntland and South Central Somalia aimed at establishing and documenting the level of coverage and access to nutrition intervention; the same survey shall be expanded to include MAM intervention (MCHN & BSFP). The surveys will be conducted to establish the point coverage, period coverage, single coverage and equally identify factors that hinder or promote access to treatment for both moderate and acute malnutrition.

2.1 Objectives of the survey

The objectives of the coverage survey shall be:

a) Review the implementation of the previous SQUEAC findings and recommendations.

b) To identify barriers and promoters of access to MAM and SAM interventions below:

· Targeted Supplementary Feeding Program (TSFP)

· Maternal Child Health and Nutrition (MCHN) program,

· Blanket Supplementary Feeding Program (BSFP)

· Outpatient Therapeutic Program (OTP).

c) Establish and document Point, Period and single coverage of nutrition interventions where appropriate.

d) Identify and propose actions/recommendations for referral of severely and moderately malnourished children not covered by the current interventions.

e) Generate practical recommendations that would lead to better access and coverage of the nutrition program.

f) Build the capacity of WV staff, MoH and Partners in conducting coverage surveys using Semi Quantitative Evaluation of Access and Coverage
2.2. Geographical scope (catering for homogeneity and Livelihood zoning)

The SQUEAC surveys will be conducted Garowe, Luuq and Lughaya districts. These districts have been carefully selected from all regions to help in investigating the coverage of nutrition interventions in the program. Additionally, the survey will include three extra districts (Eyl, Gabiley and Dolow)) implementing MCHN/BSFP to particularly measure coverage indicators for the MAM preventive Program. Before the start of the survey, WV shall suggest to the consultant the districts of choice and reasons for selecting these areas.

3.SURVEY METHODOLOGY

The survey will use the SQUEAC (Semi-Quantitative Evaluation of Access and Coverage) methodology[1]to measure coverage for TSFP and OTP. However, an appropriate complementary methodology to measure MCHN/BSFP indicators should be suggested by the consultant. SQUEAC is a low resource method that can be used on a regular basis to monitor program performance, identify barriers to service access and uptake and hence evaluate coverage. It is an investigation rather than a survey and uses a mix of quantitative (routine program data and small and wide area surveys) and qualitative data (anecdotal information from various relevant respondents). It equally, employs specific statistical analysis to provide an overall coverage estimate and show areas of poor coverage; and the methodology is action-oriented and practical, highlighting appropriate interventions needed to increase Coverage and access. The survey will adopt stages as follows:

Stage 1: Analyze routine data and other relevant available data to identify areas which suggest low or high coverage. Some of the information needed for this analysis includes program admissions over time, exits (cured, defaulters, non-response and deaths), listing and mapping of all settlements in the catchment area for the nutrition program, home locations of all beneficiaries and defaulters, home location and number of community volunteers. The Selected Districts Health Information System and routine program data shall be used to generate information on admission, default, and death rate in the nutrition program to develop trend of admission over time.

Stage 2: Collect information from the target communities, beneficiaries and health staff to explain and better inform the program data and build on the hypothesis of high or low coverage. This involves informal group discussions, household interviews where necessary, semi structured interviews and simple structured interviews with respondents such as caretakers, health workers and community health workers in the survey area. The information collected shall be used to triangulate the quantitative information collected in stage1. This stage also helps to identify factors promoting or hindering program coverage.**Stage 3: Developing a Hypothesis and area Surveys**

Likelihood surveys shall be used to test hypothesis of spatial distribution of coverage. The likelihood surveys shall adopt active and adaptive methodology which involves looking for cases of both moderately and severely malnourished (those in program and those not in programs). Sampling approach for the villages to be visited shall be determined by the consultant.

Stage 4: Estimating Programme Coverage Using SQUEAC Calculator.

This should be guided by the following:a. The Prior building: The Prior is the expression of beliefs about coverage based on qualitative data (or quantitative data transformed into qualitative data) provided by the Mind Map exercise.

b. Coverage estimation: Based on the Prior developed through mind mapping, a SQUEAC Bayes Coverage Estimator shall be used to estimate coverage.

4. LOGISTICS AND ACTIVITY PLANNING

4.1Logistics

In the technical proposal, the consultant should clearly indicate the approaches and budget for this engagement. After receiving the inception report from the successful consultant/firm, WV shall arrange all necessary logistical needs of the survey including travels, accommodation, allowances for Field Assistants and partners, transport to the field and other necessary items. Upon approval of the technical approach and signing the contract, a meeting will be arranged with the consultant and project team to agree on the frame of operation and responsibilities of each party.**4.2 Timeframe and Description of main Activities**

This survey will last for two (2) months i.e. September – October 2016. This period will cover all survey processes including: Pre-field preparation, compilation and analysis of routine program data, training of field assistants, field data collection, data analysis and reporting. Notably, field data collection shall cover but not limited to the following: seasonal calendars, labour calendar, food availability, disease patterns, and interviews with caregivers, health workers and small area surveys.

4.3. Team composition and Authority

This survey will be undertaken by a highly experienced Consultant and Co-consultant as this is hoped to deepen the field supervision hence quality of the information gathered. The successful Consultant shall be under the Supervision of Quality Assurance Department supported by the Regional Nutrition Managers. World Vision shall recruit and allocate field assistants based on the agreement with the consultant. As part of capacity building and nurturing synergies, the surveys will have nutrition program partners participating including Ministry of Health (MOH), WFP, Implementing Partners in SCZ and UNICEF among others. Regional WV Nutrition Managers together with M&E Officers will ensure adequate mobilization and coordination of all field activities related to this survey.

Situation et besoins humanitaires

La République Centrafricaine fait partie des pays les plus pauvres du monde. Classé 180ème sur 186 par le PNUD en 2012, 62% de la population y vit avec moins de 1,25 USD par jour. Outre cette pauvreté endémique, depuis mars 2013, le pays traverse l’une des pires crises sociopolitiques de son histoire entrainant conflits armés et exactions intercommunautaires. La faillite de l’État se traduit par le dysfonctionnement des services publics, l’insécurité permanente, et l‘aggravation des tensions entre groupes armés. En mars 2013, le président, François Bozizé, est renversé par une alliance de groupes rebelles (Séléka) qui prennent alors le contrôle du territoire. Michel Djotodia, leader des Séléka est investi Chef de l’Etat et du gouvernement de transition, à la condition de rétablir la sécurité dans le pays. Malgré ses tentatives, le Président ne parvient pas à endiguer la crise et les tensions intercommunautaires entre Séléka et Anti-balaka se propagent à l’ensemble du territoire. En Janvier 2014, il est donc remplacé par Catherine Samba-Panza, présidente de la transition, période qui doit mener aux élections fin 2015. En février 2016, Faustin Archane TOUADERA est élu président de la République.

Le processus électoral est en marche, les élections législatives détermineront la nouvelle assemblée nationale. Les élections ne sont pas une fin en soi, les différentes fractures sociales, les faibles perspectives économiques et les problèmes d’insécurité nécessitent beaucoup d’efforts pour sortir le pays de la crise.

Fin février 2016, on compte plus de 420 000 déplacés dans le pays. Malgré l’intervention de forces internationales (Force française Sangaris et Onusienne MINUSCA) qui a permis une relative accalmie dans la capitale, Bangui, la dégradation de la situation humanitaire est à déplorer. Cette amélioration de la situation sécuritaire a permis à certains déplacés de regagner leur quartier d’origine, cependant ces derniers ont besoin d’une assistance humanitaire pour retourner dans ces quartiers et plusieurs milliers de déplacés sont encore présents dans les sites de déplacés de Bangui, dont celui de M’Poko, l’un des plus important du pays, géré par PUI. La sécurité reste toutefois extrêmement volatile. La tension reste vive, exacerbée par les groupes extrémistes chrétiens ou musulmans. Le moindre prétexte peut entraîner des violences communautaires, dont les populations civiles payent le prix cher. Fin septembre 2015, suite au meurtre d’un musulman, Bangui a connu une période de violence entraînant le déplacement d’environ 40 000 personnes, dans des sites ou dans des familles d’accueil. Les besoins humanitaires de ces populations vulnérables deviennent d’autant plus importants et urgents dans cette période de crise, tout en s’additionnant aux besoins de relèvement.

Notre action sur le terrain

PUI cible les zones les plus fragiles au cœur desquelles des interventions multisectorielles sont développées au bénéfice des populations confrontées aux répercussions humanitaires de crises sécuritaires. Avant le coup d’Etat de mars 2013, déjà 1,9 millions d’habitants (soit environ 50% de la population) requéraient une assistance humanitaire (source, CAP 2012). En outre, l’extrême vulnérabilité structurelle se traduit par une faible résistance aux chocs environnementaux, économiques, sécuritaires. Selon OCHA, 2,7 millions de centrafricains ont besoin d’assistance humanitaire en 2015, soit près de 60% de la population totale.

Dans ce contexte, l’intervention de PUI vise à appuyer directement les populations dont les capacités d’absorption des chocs est faible, et à restaurer l’accès aux biens et services de base dans les zones en crise sur des secteurs tels que la santé, la nutrition, la sécurité alimentaire et les moyens d’existence, et un appui aux populations déplacées (gestion de site, réponse d’urgence, aide au retour).

Dans la préfecture de la Kémo, PUI met en œuvre, avec le soutien d’Europaid et d’OFDA, un projet de relèvement communautaire : structuration filières, distribution kits agricoles aux groupements producteurs, réhabilitation d’infrastructures routières et de stockage, activités AGR. C’est dans le cadre de ce projet que PUI recherche un Responsable Technique Cash for Work.
