Duration: 04 weeks About SIHA Network The Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA) is a civil society coalition bringing together grassroots women’s rights organizations from Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia, Somaliland, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Uganda. It was established in 1995 by a collection of women’s rights activists, with the view of strengthening the capacity of women’s rights organizations in the Horn of Africa. SIHA aims to contribute to unlocking the massive potential of women’s rights movements in the Horn of Africa, by improving the capacity of local organizations and building a strong network of grassroots civil society members that can interact and support one another in advocating for effective change. More information about SIHA is available at www.sihanet.org. Background of the Consultancy Feminist movements in the Greater Horn of Africa (GHoA) play a crucial role in providing frontline services to marginalized communities, advocating for gender-transformative policies and laws, demanding government accountability for human rights, and pushing for democracy. However, the space for the movements to operate freely is shrinking, as government and non-state actors use legislation, threats, or violence to hinder their work. SIHA, under the Komboa Project, aims to better equip formal and informal feminist movements in the GHoA to operate in volatile and restrictive settings including provision of tools and resources to manage, mitigate, and respond to risks and shocks, contributing in turn to strengthening their resilience. In addition, SIHA operates in volatile and complex environments characterized by political instability, armed conflict, and unforeseeable threats.

Client Exit interview Uganda

Thu, 14 Nov 2024 12:13:36 +0000

Tiko is an organization that uses its digital platform called Tiko to motivate young people to make positive choices. Tiko’s adolescent programme in Uganda uses a digital platform to enable young people between the ages of 15 and 24 years to access sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services. The platform connects young people to service providers and uses a range of behavioral interventions to support and reinforce positive, healthcare-seeking behaviors. The programme aims to improve SRH trends while empowering young people to make decisions about their sexual health. Tiko’s approach is to use the Tiko platform to support an ecosystem of different actors who act to inform, support, and encourage young people to take up SRH services. This ecosystem creates positive feedback loops where young people are able to access better information and, thus, make better decisions about their sexual and reproductive health. Tiko has operations in Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, Burkina Faso South Africa, zambia and Nigeria Scope of Work Tiko is looking to source a consultant to conduct client exit interviews at Tiko accredited public health facilities, private clinics and pharmacies in Uganda. These exercises shall assist Tiko to monitor and evaluate the quality of services provided at the public health facilities, clinics and pharmacies. The exercise will also help to understand Tiko clients’ wellbeing using the multidimensional poverty index (MPI) approach. The area of operation is in Kampala and Wakiso. The firm will offer routine Client Exit interviews (CEIs) for selected facilities on the platform as will be provided by Tiko from time to time. The consultant will do data collection, analysis and reporting of the client exit interviews. Objectives of the CEIs There are two main objectives of the client exit interviews (CEIs): To understand Tiko users. This will be done by assessing their wellbeing using the multidimensional poverty index approach. To assess Tiko users’ experiences with services and quality of counseling received at Tiko facilities. Users' perception of the provider/facility friendliness will also be assessed. Research Questions The CEIs will aim to answer the following research questions: To what extent do the young people who access FP, HIV, SGBV and mental health services on the Tiko platform receive quality services from participating health facilities? To what extent are the participating health facilities providing youth-friendly services to young people accessing services on the Tiko platform? How can the services be improved to meet the needs of Tiko users? What are the characteristics of Tiko clients using the multidimensional poverty index assessment? Survey Approach & Methodology A quantitative methodological approach will be used to conduct exit interviews at select Tiko accredited facilities (private clinics, pharmacies and public facilities) targeting to interview adolescents, girls and young people aged 15 - 24 years in Uganda. These surveys will be implemented quarterly the first will be in the first quarter of 2025. The estimated sample size per quarter is 500. Tiko will provide a sampling strategy to be followed.

ENDLINE SURVEY ON EMPOWERING ADOLESCENTS GIRLS TO ADDRESS GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE IN BAMA LGA, BORNO STATE, NIGERIA

Wed, 13 Nov 2024 19:46:24 +0000

Background Plan International is an independent child-centered international development organization committed to advancing the rights of children and fighting against poverty. Plan International has no religious, political, or government affiliation. Plan International has supported girls and boys and their communities around the world to gain the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to claim their rights, free themselves from poverty, and live positive fulfilling lives. Plan International Nigeria has been working in Nigeria since 2014, promoting the rights of children and the equality of girls, responding with both emergency assistance (mainly in Child Protection, Emergency Education, Food Security, and Economic Empowerment) and developing actions that allow a transition from this assistance to a phase of post-conflict and peacebuilding. Plan International Nigeria works with communities, civil society organizations, development partners, and governments to bring hearts and minds together for children. Project Background The project Empowering Adolescent Girls to Address Gender-based Violence in Bama LGA, Borno State, Northeast Nigeria is being funded by Swedish Broadcasting Foundation (SBF). It aims to improve the protection of teenage girls in IDP camps and host communities in Bama LGA, Borno state, and build their resilience. Overall, the project is expected to reach more than 4,400 people directly, with the main target group being 880 adolescent girls aged 10-19 years, with quality (Gender Base Violence) GBV case management, psychosocial support, dignity kits, life skills sessions, vocational skills training, start-up kits, positive parenting sessions, specific capacity strengthening for community-based structures to provide service delivery, and general awareness raising around preventing and responding to GBV. The wider target community will also benefit from GBV capacity building, community sensitization, and mobilization activities. The overall goal of this project is that: Conflicted affected adolescent girls at risk of GBV or survivors of GBV receive quality age and gender-appropriate GBV services, and livelihoods support in Bama LGA, Borno State. Plan International Nigeria will therefore undertake a survey for the project to establish the endline values for project objectives indicators and build evidence for outcome and impact measurement after the project. Objectives of the Project The Empowering Adolescent Girls to Address Gender-Based Violence project in Bama LGA, Borno State, Northeast Nigeria, funded by SBF, seeks to enhance the protection and resilience of adolescent girls in both IDP camps and host communities. Aimed at over 4,400 people, including a primary target group of 880 adolescent girls aged 10–19, the project focuses on equipping these young girls with quality, age-appropriate GBV support services and essential life skills. Specifically, it provides case management and psychosocial support, along with dignity kits to meet personal hygiene needs. Additionally, life skills sessions, vocational training, and start-up kits are offered to build self-reliance and future livelihood opportunities. Positive parenting sessions complement this support, fostering a protective environment around the girls. The project also targets community-based structures, strengthening their capacity to deliver these services and effectively respond to GBV cases, which enhances the support network available for affected girls. A critical part of the project is community sensitization and mobilization, aiming to increase awareness around GBV prevention and response and encourage active community involvement in creating a safer environment. The overarching goal of this initiative is to ensure that conflict-affected adolescent girls at risk of, or survivors of, GBV receive the protection and services they need, along with support for sustainable livelihoods. By addressing both immediate protection and long-term resilience, the project aspires to create a supportive ecosystem that not only reduces GBV risks but also promotes recovery, empowerment, and resilience among adolescent girls in Bama LGA. Through these targeted actions, the project aims to foster lasting change and improved safety, enabling young girls to thrive even in challenging, conflict-affected settings. Objectives of the Endline Survey Overall, the end-line survey aims to provide quantitative and qualitative analytical information on the status of the stated indicators against which have been monitored and assess project progress and effectiveness during implementation and evaluation after completion with attention to the outcome. Specific objectives: This endline survey will be carried out in Bama LGA and should be guided by the following specific objectives: To collect, analyze, and present missing baseline data at outcome and output level (based on the project log frame) to allow for efficient measurement of project impact during and after implementation. Verify the project log frame’s adequacy with realities observed on the ground and propose any adjustments to the results framework of the project. Analyze and, if deemed necessary, revise the project log frame to ensure SMART targets are in place. To provide project staff with detailed endline data on key project indicators to enable changes to be measured over the course of the project. Methodology Plan International Nigeria will hire the services of a consultant to carry out the endline survey under the close supervision of the Plan International Nigeria M&E delegated team. It is recommended that both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods should be utilized. This will include the development of the assessment tools, carrying out the assessment, and producing the end-line report within the agreed time frame. Sample The consultant will design a sampling strategy to collect end-line data that addresses the project’s final assessment questions and ensures a representative sample of respondents. Key respondent groups will include adolescent girls, caregivers, community leaders, and service providers, as these stakeholders provide critical perspectives on the project’s impact. The sampling frame will encompass all eligible individuals, drawing from project records and local databases to ensure comprehensive coverage across various project locations. To ensure representation, the consultant will use a stratified random sampling approach, enabling analysis across key sub-groups, such as gender, disability status, and location. For quantitative data, probability sampling methods like simple random or systematic sampling will be employed to achieve statistical reliability. For qualitative data, purposive sampling will select interview and focus group participants who can offer in-depth insights. Sample size will be calculated based on the target population and desired confidence levels, ensuring enough responses within each group to maintain data reliability. Respondent identification will follow clear criteria, with a focus on ethical and culturally sensitive practices, particularly when working with vulnerable groups like adolescent girls affected by GBV. This strategy aims to provide accurate, ethically gathered end line data for a thorough final assessment. Sample size Outcome indicators Target group and necessary respondent disaggregation (this will be provided to the consultant) Number and type of locations Sampling approach (stating the reasons for the approach selected) Quantitative data collection methods The basis of this survey is the project indicators as shown in Table 1- project summary information. The consultant and team are expected to collect endline data at outcomes and outputs levels. The possible key respondents or data sources and data collection tools developed by the consultant will be reviewed by the M&E Coordinator and the Child Protection in Emergency Specialist to ensure alignment with the methodology of Plan International’s global Area of Distinctiveness (AoGD) indicators. Qualitative data collection methods Key methods will include Focus Group Discussions, Key Informant Interviews, and surveys with relevant stakeholders who will be identified by the project team. The consultant is also free to propose and utilize other data collection methods beyond these mentioned. The endline survey team will ensure Focus Group Discussion (FGD) will be conducted with adolescents, children (girls and boys, including children with disabilities), service providers, and community people. Key Informant Interviews (KII) should be carried out with officials from relevant government line agencies, the GBV and Child Protection sectors, community leaders, and civil society organizations in the project areas. Surveys will be conducted with diverse adolescents, children, and their parents/caregivers as well as community members and service providers. And other methods as deemed relevant by the consultant. Document Review The consultant and team will use available project documents and relevant government policy, procedures, records/reports for review. Also, other available secondary data sources, including data from similar projects being implemented by Plan International Nigeria and other organizations, will be used for further data analysis. Data analysis and interpretation An effective analysis plan for project indicators will outline the consultant's approach to measuring and assessing each outcome-level indicator, ensuring accurate interpretation and ethical handling of primary data. The consultant will design a methodology that utilizes both quantitative and qualitative data sources, tailored to capture a comprehensive picture of project impact. Outcome indicators will be measured through a combination of surveys and interview formats, including Key Informant Interviews (KII) and Focus Group Discussions (FGD), to allow for both statistical and narrative insights. To enhance clarity and precision in the data analysis process, the consultant will implement a structured approach, proposing statistical techniques for quantitative data and thematic coding for qualitative responses. This ensures that patterns and trends are appropriately identified and interpreted within the project context. Data will be disaggregated by gender, disabilities, and geographic location, allowing for nuanced insights into how different groups experience and benefit from the project interventions. This disaggregation is essential for understanding diverse impacts and tailoring future project activities to meet specific needs. Ethical care is a priority in all phases of data collection and analysis. The consultant will develop protocols that uphold confidentiality, informed consent, and sensitivity to participant well-being, particularly when discussing topics related to gender-based violence (GBV). This ethical approach will ensure that data collection respects participants' rights and experiences, which is vital for the integrity of the project. Overall, the analysis plan will serve as a roadmap for assessing project effectiveness, focusing on a rigorous, ethical, and inclusive methodology to interpret outcome-level indicators accurately. By proposing clear methods for both analysis and interpretation, the consultant will provide actionable insights to support ongoing improvement and meaningful impact on the project. Work plan for the endline survey Before the commencement of the field activities, the consultant will provide a draft work plan to Plan International Nigeria which will be reviewed and agreed upon with the CPiE Specialist and M&E Coordinator, consulted with Plan International Sweden. To answer the assessment questions and criteria, a set of tools will be developed and administered to aid the collation and analysis of data and produce informed and evidence-based narratives by the consultant with reviews from the Plan International MERL lead and team. It is therefore expected that the consultant develops a detailed overall methodology, appropriate methods, and a set of tools to respond to the key assessment questions. The consultant shall outline the reasons for selecting the methods proposed and depict the skills/experience they have in applying them. It is recommended to apply a mixed method approach using both quantitative and qualitative methods to meet study objectives. The consultant will carry out a detailed and rigorous collection of primary data using focal group discussions, Key Informant Interviews,surveys among key target groups, and/or other methods as necessary. It is also expected of the consultant to conduct reviews on secondary sources using reviews of relevant and reports to triangulate information that will inform the final report the consultant will also triangulate with several actions and stakeholders in the Northeast to gather evidence-based findings. The consultant will also be responsible for piloting the tools, ensuring that they are effective, understandable, and relevant for the context, gender, and age-sensitive.

Programme Manager – Seas of Change

Wed, 13 Nov 2024 19:29:21 +0000

Company Description SNV is a global development partner, deeply rooted in the countries where we operate. We are driven by a vision of a better world: A world where across every society all people live with dignity and have equitable opportunities to thrive sustainably. To make this vision a reality, we need transformations in vital agri-food, energy, and water systems. SNV contributes by strengthening capacities and catalysing partnerships in these sectors. We help strengthen institutions and effective governance, reduce gender inequalities and barriers to social inclusion, and enable adaptation and mitigation to the climate and biodiversity crises. Building on 60 years of experience we support our partners with our technical and process expertise and methodological rigour. We do this in more than 20 countries in Africa and Asia with a team of approximately 1,600 colleagues. By being adaptable and tailoring our approaches to these different contexts, we can contribute to impact at scale, resulting in more equitable lives for all. To delve deeper into SNV's initiatives, explore our website at snv.org. There, you'll find comprehensive information about our projects, impact, and ongoing efforts to drive sustainable development worldwide. Job Description Overview of the assignment Stagnating poverty, unpredictable shocks, due to climate change, ecological degradation, rising social inequalities, declining food security and challenges in achieving the required just energy transition will continue to be an issue in the coming decades, negatively impacting incomes, livelihoods, and productivity. Energy is a critical element of any agri-food system; it is largely driven by fossil fuels and the large, centralised machinery it powers is often inefficient and inappropriate to the needs of small food producers. Despite the intricate linkages between the two sectors, solutions are largely siloed, short-term in nature, and lessons are not shared. The result is further inefficiencies and outcomes that can even prove to be counter-productive in the broader ecosystem. It is imperative to re-think the linkages between agri-food and energy systems to alleviate the pressures on socio-economic conditions and natural resources that perpetuate poverty. Traditional, extractive, energy-intensive, centralised models around the supply, consumption, and disposal of food and energy need to be challenged. SNV believes an approach is required that can bridge the gap between these sectors, break silos and shape solutions that work with and for the targeted ecosystem actors. The Seas of Change Uganda programme is envisioned as a 10-year programme in two implementation phases that will work at the nexus of the regenerative agriculture (RA) and productive use of renewable energy (PURE) areas. The programme will apply an innovative hybrid implementation model where it leverages existing initiatives and expertise within the ecosystem and connects actors to facilitate processes and encourage synergies. The programme is therefore not a traditional development programme that focuses purely on on-the-ground implementation by SNV and a select consortium of partners. Instead, the programme will seek to identify and work with partners already operating within the RA and/or PURE space and empower them to work within the nexus space. SNV’s role is therefore better described as one that convenes (bringing actors together), catalyses (catalyses multi-sector and multi-actor partnerships for action-oriented collaboration), capacitates (strengthening local organisations in the RA-PURE ecosystem), and co-creates (with partners based on their aspirations). The Seas of Change Uganda programme falls under the Strategic Partnership umbrella programme. The Strategic Partnership programme will provide strategic steering and support to the RA-PURE nexus portfolio (in and beyond SNV), with dedicated programmes towards advancing the RA-PURE nexus in Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda. The Strategic Partnership programme team will work with in-country programme teams to build a movement around the RA-PURE nexus, helping to connect (cross-country) programmes and initiatives to exchange knowledge and learnings, build on existing networks, and drive investment initiatives at a global level. Overview of the Position The Seas of Change Uganda Programme Manager is a strategic thinker and highly skilled in shaping and managing collaborative processes to address complex issues. This position leads the Seas of Change Uganda programme in a manner that builds collaboration and drives action towards advancing the RA-PURE nexus agenda. The Seas of Change Programme Manager will embrace and stimulate systems thinking in the programme team and partners, strengthening their and system actors’ capacities, and working with and through partners to achieve the programme’s broader strategic objectives. To ensure that the Programme Manager has the time and headspace to work towards the programme’s larger strategic and systems transformation objectives, they will be supported by an Associate Operations Manager who will be responsible for overseeing the programme’s operations and administration work. The Programme Manager responsibilities are therefore divided along two categories: Partnership management and the application of a systems transformation lens, namely: Leading the development and maintenance of strong partnerships and collaborations with ecosystem actors within the RA-PURE nexus; Proactively lead and adapt the programme to make use of trends and opportunities, and work around challenges in the context as it develops; Steering the team and partners, including the donor, to apply key transformative approaches and principles of the programme; Maintaining close ties with the SoC Strategic Partnership team to ensure programme objectives and activities are aligned. Programme management responsibilities regarding overall management of the programme, including: Technical oversight and guidance of programme activities; Supervising the efficient management of financial resources; Review and approval of programme budgets and monitoring expenditures; Supervision of field operations, administration, logistics and procurement; Supervision of the programme’s monitoring and evaluation; Ensuring quality control and timeliness of all deliverables as required by the donor; Ensuring full compliance with all donor and other fiduciary regulations; Oversee programme reporting process in line with donor requirements; Oversee the performance management of all programme staff working exclusively on his/her programme.

Innovation, nexus thinking and systems transformation lens: Foster an environment in which innovation, empowering others, and working politically and holistically are highly valued; c.

Knowledge development: fostering an environment of critical reflection and learning, leading to knowledge development, documentation of learnings and active exchange on what does (not) work. This happens in close collaboration with the Strategic Partnership Knowledge & Learning Advisor, partners, and the donor; e. Monitoring and Evaluation: ensure high quality M&E data is being used within the programme to steer programme strategies, stimulate the application of innovative M&E approaches that enable the programme to gain insights into relevant trends, opportunities and challenges in the context, as well as understand how the programme is contributing to (potential) changes in system dynamics; work closely with the senior MEL Lead and the MEL officer, as well as the Strategic Partnership MEL Advisor; account and report to SNV, donor, and clients on programme performance via the Strategic Partnership Programme. Operational oversight: a. Human and Financial Resources: Provide steering to the Associate Operations Manager to ensure efficient management of human and financial resources; ensure effective coordination of programme activities with programme teams; b.

Incomplete Proposals will not be considered further. Only Proposals that meet all of the pre-qualification criteria will be evaluated. Your Proposal will be assigned a score from 0 to 10 for each of the technical evaluation criteria, such that ‘0’ is low and ‘10’ is high. Minimum Quality Thresholds Proposals that receive a score of ‘0’ for any of the criteria will not be considered further. Technical Score Your score for each technical evaluation criterion will be multiplied with the respective relative weight (see Section 4.4) and these weighted scores added together to give your Proposal’s overall technical score. Financial Evaluation and Financial Scores The financial evaluation will be based upon the full total price you submit. Your Financial Proposal will receive a score calculated by dividing the lowest Financial Proposal that has passed the minimum quality thresholds (see Section 5.3.2) by the total price of your Financial Proposal. Thus, for example, if your Financial Proposal is for a total of CHF 100 and the lowest Financial Proposal is CHF 80, you will receive a financial score of 80/100 = 80% Total Score Your Proposal’s total score will be calculated as the weighted sum of your technical score and your financial score. The relative weights will be: Technical: 70% Financial: 30% Thus, for example, if your technical score is 83% and your financial score is 77%, you will receive a total score of 83 * 70% + 77 * 30% = 58.1% + 23.1% = 81.2%.

ATTACHMENTS Attachment 1 Specification of Requirements / Terms of Reference Attachment 2 Declaration of Undertaking (select 2a for companies or 2b for self-employed as applicable to you) Attachment 3 Contract Template TERMS OF REFERENCE Position: Consultancy to conduct an independent terminal evaluation for the project: Management of competing water uses and associated ecosystems in the Pungwe, Buzi and Save basins Financing Agency: Global Environment Facility (GEF) GEF-Implementing Agency: International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Executing Agency: Global Water Partnership Southern Africa (GWPSA) Location: Pretoria Project Period: 48 months Estimated level of effort: 50 working days spread over 3 months (25/01/2025 to 24/04/2025) INTRODUCTION The Global Environment Fund (GEF) funded project “Management of competing water uses and associated ecosystems in the Pungwe, Buzi and Save basins,” project targets the conservation and sustainable use of the transboundary water basins resources, including risk mitigation components within 3 river basins shared bilaterally by Mozambique and Zimbabwe: Pungwe, Buzi and Save river basins. The project is facilitating the ability of the two riparian countries (Mozambique and Zimbabwe) to strengthen transboundary cooperation and management of water resources and associated ecosystems for improved water security, climate change resilience and sustainable livelihoods in the shared Pungwe-Buzi-Save basins. The project is being implemented by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and executed by the Global Water Partnership (GWP), with strategic orientation of the project being provided by the Joint Water Commission, the bilateral institution for cooperation on water issues between Mozambique and Zimbabwe. Project activities are coordinated at the bi-national level by a Project Management Unit (PMU), composed of a Project Coordinator, a Communications Specialist, an M & E Specialist and a Finance Officer. The Project Management Unit (PMU) is hosted by ARA-Centro in Beira (the National Executing Agency for Mozambique). The project seeks to promote holistic approaches to the water-food-energy nexus, with specific interest on connected ecosystems. It has a double focus of developing capacities for managing water resources and to design participatory and community–based strategies. The project is now set to close down its 4-year program of work by 30 December 2024. As required by GEF, each project must undertake an independent terminal evaluation. These Terms of Reference (TORs) define the objectives, key questions and outputs for a mid-term review of the BUPUSA project. In accordance with GEF M&E policies and procedures, all full-sized GEF-financed projects are required to undergo an end of term review/evaluation at the end of the project period. This Terms of Reference (ToR) sets out the expectations for the project end-term review. The purpose of the evaluation is to provide an independent external view of the progress of the project against the planned output and deliverables, and to provide feedback and recommendations to the basin riparians and key stakeholders. The end-term review is expected to assess the achievement of project results against what was expected, and draw lessons that can both improve the sustainability of benefits from this project, and aid in the overall enhancement of implementation of environmental water management in the BUPUSA landscape. The end-term review is also expected to ensure accountability and transparency, and also assess the extent of project accomplishments. BACKGROUND ON THE GEF BUZI, PUNGWE AND SAVE (BUPUSA) PROJECT The GEF-funded project “Management of competing water uses and associated ecosystems in Pungwe, Buzi and Save basins” is being implemented by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and executed by GWP-SA together with the Government of Mozambique (GoM) and Government of Zimbabwe (GoZ). It targets the conservation and sustainable use of the transboundary water resources, including the risk mitigation components within the Buzi, Pungwe and Save river basins shared bilaterally by Mozambique and Zimbabwe. The 3 basins are located along the Beira corridor, an important economic corridor that links Beira harbour to the hinterland, with associated impacts on the environment (pollution from mining activities, intensive agriculture, deforestation, saline water intrusion etc.). Populations in the basins have become highly vulnerable to climate hazards (i.e., floods, droughts, cyclones) whose occurrence is likely to increase with climate change aggravation. The increasing development of upstream water uses is now raising the issue of equitable water allocation and the accompanying dimension of environmental flows that have particular importance in a transboundary context. These resource aspects are of the highest importance for the communities that derive their livelihood from ecosystem services, in a context of endemic poverty and low resilience to climate change impacts. The project seeks to promote holistic approaches to the water-food-energy nexus, with a specific interest in connected ecosystems. It has a double focus of developing capacities for managing water resources and designing participatory and community–based strategies. The project’s main objective is to strengthen the management of transboundary water resources and connected ecosystems for sustained ecological benefits and improved resilience for riparian communities. This contributes to GEF’s Strategic Objective 1 which seeks to conserve, sustainably use, and manage biodiversity, ecosystems and natural resources globally, taking into account the anticipated impacts of climate change – and is consistent with the focal area strategy for international waters (IW), as it will contribute to the conservation of the 3 basins’ aquatic ecosystems and wetlands through the sustainable management of transboundary water basins. The need for developing transboundary cooperation for water resources management has been materializing for years through several initiatives, including the signing of the Pungwe and Buzi transboundary agreements (the Save agreement is under preparation, and the wish to establish a bilateral tri-basin river basin organization. In each component, the project will contribute to supporting transboundary cooperation for water resources management, either with the development of joint initiatives (joint hydrological monitoring campaigns), common tools development (TDA/SAP), adoption of guidelines for eflows implementation), bilateral capacity building or through experience sharing (on community-based early warning systems for instance): Component 1 will contribute to strengthening water-related risk management through the reinforcement of monitoring systems, the development of real-time operational tools, and the empowerment of communities in their flood and droughts mitigation autonomy. Component 2 will focus on enhancing ecosystem services through quantitative water management, including operationalisation of environmental flows (assessment and legal framework establishment), and through water quality improvement. Component 3: National inter-ministry committees and technical advisory teams would contribute to the development of a regional Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis and subsequently to the preparation of a Strategic Action Plan. The benefits of collaboration on transboundary basins and adoption by cooperating states of a Transboundary Water Resource Management approach will contribute to strengthening community resilience to droughts, mitigation of these risks, improving water allocation, and addressing environmental issues. Results and impacts will include increased transboundary water cooperation including a coordinated approach for drought risks management and mainstreaming of these risks in the decision-making process, strengthened capacities for transboundary water resources management linking appropriate scales of intervention, increased communities’ autonomy and ownership in water-related risk management, reduced vulnerability of the local communities to droughts. OBJECTIVE OF THE ASSIGNMENT The objectives of the end-term review report are to: Assess progress toward achievement of expected project outputs and outcome Assess the issues and challenges project ran into during its design phase as well as during implementation and assess extent of their influence in project’s deliverable and sustainability of project results Document lessons to contribute in sustainability of outputs and generated benefits from this project and aid in the overall enhancement of ABS implementation in BUPUSA Make concrete recommendations to help consolidate and support sustainability of the project results Provide recommendation on way forward for the implementation of ABS in BUPUSA outlining follow up activities PROCESS Desk based review of project documents, including preparing an updated table of project achievement against the planned activities, achievement on capacity building activities and any relevant output reports (done before the review), the project document, contracts and related agreements. Project Identification Form (PIF) Annual workplans and budgets including revisions and amendments during the project period Workplans Progress Reports Technical reports Project supervision report Mid-term review report and its recommendations Consultations with stakeholders including key partners and personnel (such as PSC) Final project end-term review workshop in Beira involving all implementing partners. The workshop will focus on project achievement, outputs and impact pathway. The workshop will involve presentations of activities, interim results and any issues under each of the three components, discussion of the project team’s reflections, and identify preliminary recommendations; Field visit to project districts to gain understanding of the implementation of project field pilot activities, and district stakeholders Preparation of a draft end-term review report The review will be based on credible evidence-based information that are useful and reliable. The review process will be impartial and inclusive. The review process will be transparent and will also be based on different sources of credible information such as documents prepared during the preparation phase (i.e. PIF, the Project Document, implementation guideline, project reports including Annual Project Review/PIRs, decisions of project steering committees, project budget revisions, lesson learned reports, national strategic and legal documents, and any other materials that the team considers useful for this evidence-based review). The review process will ensure meaningful participation of all parties involved, focal execution unit, GEF operational focal point, relevant thematic agencies, IUCN country office and other key stakeholders. The review is expected to ensure ethical measures during the process in information collection and analysis as well as while providing recommendations. This end-term review is initiated by IUCN as the Implementing Agency. The process of end-term review must be independent, thus will be conducted by independent experts.

It will adhere to the GEF/GCF Project Monitoring and Supervision Requirements and Guidance as well as IUCN Monitoring and Evaluation Policy. The review will adopt a consultative approach, seeking and sharing opinions with stakeholders at different stages throughout the terminal evaluation process. Different sources will be used to verify information, and evidence will be validated through triangulation. Information and insights will be derived mainly from three key sources: Review of existing documents – both at project and program levels, including Project Implementation Reports (PIRs), BUPUSA project reports, information and data collected through BUPUSA MEL system and other relevant knowledge products developed by partners; Key informants’ interviews – including interview with GWPSA Management and PMU; implementing agency (IUCN) representative/s and GEF BUPUSA project manager; the Project Steering Committee (PSC) members; Project Focal Points nominated by the two countries; co-finance partners; representatives of the basin institutions (ARA-Centro and ARA-Sul in Mozambique, and ZINWA Save and Runde in Zimbabwe); research institutions, civil society organizations, community representatives and other relevant stakeholders across the three basins in the 2 supported countries (an indicative list of contacts of key stakeholders will be provided during the inception phase); Technical assessment and field visits – this will entail visit and assessment of installed hydrometry equipment for flood forecasting and early warning systems, pilot projects for mitigating drought risk vulnerability; and Additional information needed could be collected through a combination of methodologies including (but not limited to) group discussions, online surveys and other data collection tools. As part of the terminal evaluation inception phase, the consulting team will then be expected to develop an Inception Report that will include a methodological note based on the suggested terminal evaluation questions above and suggesting additional questions or modifications to tailor the terminal evaluation to the GEF BUPUSA Project needs. The methodological note will include a review matrix presenting how each review question will be addressed, the data sources and the data collection methods and tools that will be used to gather additional data needed for the terminal evaluation and a set of criteria to rate the strength of the evidence collected. Adequately addressing each key review question will be the basis for IUCN to sign off on the completeness of the review report. The link between review questions, data collection, analysis, findings and conclusions must be clearly made and set out in a transparent manner in the presentation of the review findings. Conclusion and recommendations should be underpinned by a strong set of evidence.

Wed, 13 Nov 2024 13:42:01 +0000

Peace Winds Japan (PWJ) is a Japanese Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) that was established in 1996. Since its inception, PWJ has provided humanitarian and development assistance to populations affected by forced displacement and natural disasters in over 20 countries. PWJ launched its mission in Kenya in 2012, where it has been implementing projects funded by UN agencies and the government of Japan in the areas of Shelter, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), and Youth Development. The aim of these interventions is to improve the living conditions of refugees and host communities while promoting peaceful coexistence and self-reliance in Dadaab, Kakuma, and Kalobeyei. PWJ is the UNHCR’s implementing partner responsible for several essential services, including WASH, fleet management, shelter, and centralized fuel management for both Dadaab and Kakuma refugee operations. Since 2021, PWJ has been running WASH interventions in Kakuma and the Kalobeyei Integrated Settlement under the mandate of UNHCR, seeking to provide refugees, asylum-seekers, and stateless persons with equitable access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene facilities. PWJ plans to engage a consultant to conduct an assessment focusing on Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) for its WASH interventions in health facilities in Kakuma refugee camps and Kalobeyei Integrated Settlement. The assessment findings will inform the strategies for improved community engagement, communication, and participation in WASH-related activities and risk mitigation. Objective of the Consultancy The objective of this consultancy is to enhance hygiene and sanitation practices in health care facilities, with a particular focus on handwashing with soap, latrine use, and safe waste collection and disposal. This will be achieved through the design and implementation of Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) activities, tailored to foster behavior change among health facility staff and community members. These activities will be based on findings from a Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices (KAP) survey, ensuring that messages and strategies are culturally sensitive and localized. Additionally, the consultancy aims to assess the effectiveness of RCCE efforts in improving WASH services in the Kakuma and Kalobeyei regions. This assessment will identify gaps in communication, community engagement, and participation, providing actionable recommendations to improve the delivery and sustainability of WASH services. Specifically, the consultant will: Evaluate the current RCCE practices in the context of WASH services in Kalobeyei and Kakuma, including the effectiveness of communication channels and strategies for informing communities about WASH-related risks. Assess community knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding water, sanitation, hygiene plus other potential diseases outbreaks, and the prevention of the water-borne diseases and other potential diseases outbreaks, identifying gaps in community awareness of potential and existing risks and the effectiveness/weakness and gaps of the current community engagement approach(es). Examine community participation and feedback mechanisms to determine their effectiveness in addressing existing and potential public health risks plus resolution of community concerns, provision of feedback and improving WASH service delivery. Identify vulnerable groups (such as women, children, people with disabilities, new refugees/minority and the elderly) and assess whether RCCE strategies are inclusive and effective for these groups. Provide recommendations on how to improve RCCE strategies to enhance community engagement process(es), participation, ownership, and sustainability of WASH services, including the integration of culturally and contextually appropriate communication methods. Specific Tasks for the Consultant The consultant is expected to carry out the following tasks: Develop an Inception Report outlining the methodology, approach, and data collection tools. This report should include the field interview schedules and timelines for each phase of the assessment and be presented to PWJ for review and approval.

Terms of reference for onboarding private veterinary service provider to create linkages and capacitate PVPS and CAHWS in SWS along the transhuman corridor - Baidoa, Wajid, Hudur and Elbarde 1.0 Organizational Context World Vision Somalia is a humanitarian organization operating in the country since 1993. Its mission is to support vulnerable children and communities to enhance their resilience and well-being. World Vision's main interventions include food security and agricultural recovery, health and nutrition, water, sanitation, hygiene, education, advocacy, and emergency response. This comprehensive approach directly contributes to improving the well-being and resilience of communities in Somalia, specifically focusing on health, education, water, sanitation, and food security. The impact of climate change is a pressing concern in Somalia, with frequent droughts and floods threatening the food supply and livelihoods of millions. World Vision's response includes advocating for policies that address hunger and malnutrition, seeking sustained funding for critical food security actions, and collaborating with partners to strengthen food systems. Their work in the WASH sector also contributes to climate change adaptation by ensuring access to clean water and promoting hygiene practices, essential for health and dignity, especially in environmental challenges. Overall, World Vision Somalia's contributions to food security and climate change are multifaceted and deeply integrated into Somali society. Their ongoing efforts to support and empower communities are vital for creating a more resilient and food-secure future. World Vision and other partners such as CARE, Shaqadoon, and WARDI are carrying out an anticipatory action climate resilience project along transhumance corridors in the Southwest State of Somalia. This project, funded by DANIDA, aims to decrease vulnerability and enhance the resilience of pastoral and agro- pastoral communities in the region. 2.0 Project Overview Anticipatory Action and Climate Resilience Along Transhuman Corridor in Somalia (AART) is a DANIDA- financed multi-sector project to support Somalia’s recovery and build national resilience to recurrent natural disasters. AART's primary focus is on monitoring and supporting pastoral communities' migration routes during both normal and crisis periods. The project works to establish resources and infrastructure that can be utilized as needed to provide access to animal health services, water sources, and temporary resting camps along the migration routes. Since its launch, the AART project has made significant progress in implementing measures to address the impact of climate change. Given the increasingly severe droughts and flash floods in pastoral communities, the AART seeks to accelerate its intervention in the most common migratory routes in the Southwest state of Somalia. The specific focus is on enhancing access to early warning information, improving livestock health services, and ensuring adequate water resources along the migratory routes that connect lower Shabelle, Bay, and Bakool. This targeted approach aims to facilitate the swift recovery of the affected communities along these critical migratory corridors. The immediate and rapid implementation of AART is to ameliorate the current high levels of climate risks experienced by many pastoral households in Somalia. The main goal of the project is to: 1) To mitigate the adverse effects of climate change and enhance the resilience and social cohesion of vulnerable groups such as displaced populations and host communities, it is essential to improve protective measures. This includes preventing further displacement due to climate change. Additionally, it is crucial to provide livelihood recovery and technical advice packages to small-scale agro-pastoralist, nomadic pastoralist, and riverine agriculturalist communities in the most food-insecure rural areas. This support should be facilitated using an "inputs for assets" modality where appropriate, and unconditionally in cases of immediate need. The livestock industry is the most significant contributor, with over 50% of the target communities depending on livestock for their livelihood in South-west state. As a result of the current severe flooding and projected droughts, it is expected that a large population of pastoralists to migrate from wet-season grazing areas to dry-season grazing areas along river Shabelle. Hence, this mass migration is expected to increase vulnerabilities of livestock disease outbreaks and expose livestock to vector-borne related diseases. The episode will significantly impact the livestock market, which is already affected by low prices due to deteriorating body conditions and low food availability and production in the affected communities. By effectively tackling the challenges mentioned above, AART aims to enhance accessibility to animal health services. This will be achieved by creating a pool of private veterinary pharmacists distributed across the transhuman migratory corridor through strategically positioned private veterinary service providers. This will: Protect the key livestock-related assets of crisis-aﬀected communities and Rebuild key livestock-related assets among crisis-aﬀected communities. Therefore, SomRep and it is IP seek to subcontract a private sector to offer veterinary support and advisory services to pastoral communities. Scope of Work Conduct PVP and CAHWS mapping along the transhuman corridor: PVP and CAHWS mapping: To identify the current Private Veterinary Pharmacies (PVPs) and Community Animal Health Workers (CAHWs) along the transhuman corridor, the selected private veterinary service provider company should actively participate in and conduct a preliminary mapping of PVPs and CAHWs at the target location. This mapping will help identify the existing PVPs and CAHWs in the target areas and assess the need to establish new PVPs along the transhuman corridor. Additionally, the contracted company will evaluate the capacity gaps of the existing PVPs and CAHWs, identifying the type of support required. Provide one-on-one technical support. The selected private service providers are expected to conduct one-on-one technical support for the existing PVPs and CAHWS, provide personalised support, expert guidance, and practical training and establish long-term relationships with PVPs and CAHWS along the transhumance corridor. Supply Veterinary Drugs and kits to PVPS and community animal health workers. To avoid the common issue of a one-size-fits-all approach and tailor our support to the specific needs of each PVP and CAHW, we will embark on a one-on-one technical support approach and provide individualized technical support to PVPs and CAHWS along the transhumance corridors. This will be informed the individual needs assessment reports produced during the one-on-one technical support. Provide 5% of input loan to PVPS and CAHWS To develop a sustainable, long-term relationship and business partnership for the PVPs (Pastoralist Vulnerable People) and CAHWs (Community Animal Health Workers) along the transhumance corridor, the chosen private service provider is expected to offer a 5% loan for the inputs provided to the PVPs and CAHWs in the specified target locations. Expected Outcomes (Key Results Expected / Key Deliverables) Inception Report on the progress of the activities.

Terms of Reference- Gender, Youth and Social Inclusion (GYSI) Analysis for Baidoa and Hudur

Wed, 13 Nov 2024 13:38:32 +0000

World Vision is a relief, development, and advocacy organization dedicated to working with children, families, and communities. We work with community members, supporting them to overcome poverty and injustice. We aim to lift poor and marginalized households out of the vicious cycle of dependence by addressing the underlying causes of vulnerability to environmental and socio-economic shocks. Project Description Empowering Marginalized Groups through Economic Graduation in Somalia (EMERGE) is a Resilience and Food Security Activity (RFSA) funded by USAID/BHA in Somalia. The 5-year project, implemented by World Vision and its partners adopted a graduation approach and seeks to support extremely poor, socially marginalized internally displaced persons (IDP) and surrounding host communities (HC) in Baidoa and Hudur to improve and maintain their food security despite shocks and stresses. World Vision believes that addressing underlying gender and social norms is critical to effective, and sustainable programming. The graduation approach will not succeed without considering and addressing entrenched power dynamics among clans and in relation to women, youth, and other marginalized groups. World Vision conducted a gender analysis as part of the development of EMERGE project proposal and the process involved a review of existing secondary data and engaging diverse voices in program design including groups of women, youth, persons with disabilities, internally displaced persons (IDPs) and minority clan groups. EMERGE’s Theory of Change (ToC) incorporates an understanding of gender dynamics and the need to reach, benefit and empower women, youth and persons living with disabilities (PLWD) in order to achieve sustainable improvements in food security, and livelihoods. The TOC assumes that lack of agency, resulting from deeply engrained gender-discriminatory norms as well as disempowering cultural and institutional frameworks, are further exacerbated by traditional humanitarian responses. PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF THE GENDER, YOUTH AND SOCIAL INCLUSION ANALYSIS The primary purpose of the Gender, Youth and Social Inclusion (GYSI) Analysis is to collect basic information on the gender and social norms in Baidoa and Hudur and assess opportunities and challenges they present to livelihoods programming in the areas. The gender analysis will include key issues disaggregated by gender, age, clan affiliation/ethnicity, and disability, and the challenges and opportunities faced by each group. Completion of a GYSI Analysis in the project’s conceptualization phase will provide a thorough and deep understanding of gender dynamics and their influence on food security, livelihoods in the target region. This will inform the project’s design review and adaption of the Theory of Change, interventions technical approach, Monitoring, Evaluation And Learning (MEAL) Plan, and Collaborating, Learning, and Adapting (CLA) Plan. Findings will assist EMERGE to fully integrate subpopulation-specific considerations into the interventions. This analysis will feed directly into the project’s learning events and technical design discussions. The objective of the Gender, Youth and Social Inclusion Analysis (GYSI) To understand gender and social dynamics and their influence on food security, and livelihoods in the IDP camps and host communities of Baidao and Hudur, Somalia. This analysis will help to identify key gender and social norms, practices, barriers and opportunities for women’s and youth’s engagement in sustainable livelihoods. General Objectives; To gain a deep understanding of the gender and social norms as they impact female and male IDPs. To understand how gender-related issues differ between clan groups; IDPs and host communities; urban, peri-urban and rural contexts; and between Baidoa and Hudur. To unpack concepts of masculinity, and well-being among young men. Specific Objectives; Assess the main demographic, social, and economic characteristics of IDPs and host communities in Baidoa and Hudur Analyze the current situation of the gender norms and practices in Baidoa and Hudur, including trends, challenges and opportunities for sustainable livelihoods. Assess the nature and extent of gender dynamics among the IDPs and host communities in Baidoa and Hudur; Explore how gender dynamics and related factors influence and impact food security, and livelihoods of the IDPs and host communities in Baidoa and Hudur; Identify current livelihood options, coping strategies and opportunities for women and youth in business or enterprises including innovations for improving women’s and youth’s participation; Understand the level of women’s and youth’s access, use and ownership of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and how existing ICTs could be leveraged for use in farming, business and access to services; Explore differential access to assets, resources, opportunities, services, benefits, and infrastructure, decision-making, participation and wellbeing between men and women of different ages; Analyze relationship dynamics among women and men of different ages, clans and social backgrounds, with attention to opportunities and threats to strengthening relationships of trust and social capital building; Explore and recommend optimal strategies that WV and the consortium partners may put into action to foster women’s and youth’s empowerment with positive male and household engagement.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY 3.1. STUDY DESIGN Scope Geographic Areas and Target Population The GYSI Analysis will be conducted within Baidoa and Hudur taking into consideration the gender and social norms of the population in IDP camps and host communities. It will target women, youth and PLWD and their households in the IDP camps and host communities. The analysis will also consider other stakeholders pertinent to the gender, youth and social inclusion in internal displacement context. It will further engage key government ministries and departments including the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs (MoLSA), and Ministry of Youth & Sport, Ministry of Education (MoE). The GYSI Assessment’s scope will include the sectoral areas of food security, and livelihoods in the two Districts of Baidoa and Hudur where the EMERGE project will be implemented. 3.2. METHODOLOGY The successful consultant is expected to conduct the GYSI analysis by working closely with the EMERGE project team. To meet the objectives of this assignment, GYSI Analysis should begin with a thorough literature review of existing publications, as well as prior gender analysis conducted by World Vision as part of the EMERGE project proposal development. After the literature review, specific knowledge gaps identified shall be used to inform additional primary data collection needs. The GYSI Analysis will adopt a mixed-methods design using both quantitative and qualitative approaches and should ensure participation of key stakeholders as much as possible. The analysis will also use World Vision’s intersectional gender equality and social inclusion (GESI) approach as a tool that makes it possible to understand and respond to ways in which multiple aspects of each person’s social identity and status intersect to create unique experiences of oppression and privilege. Issues to be considered will include age, gender, disability, marital status, clan, ethnicity. The data collection methods envisioned to be used during this analysis will include but not limited to use of HH surveys/questionnaires, social mapping tools, focus group discussions (FGDs), and key informant interviews (KIIs), document review and observations. Sampling techniques for quantitative data collection will have to ensure a high level of efficiency of the estimates. Sampling procedure for the quantitative and qualitative samples should be of sufficient size and purposive to allow reasonable levels of confidence and reasonable ability to generalize findings. The consultant will be required to provide clear and specific sampling methodology, sample size, and the rationale behind the decisions for sampling methodology and the sample sizes. Sampling frame will be agreed upon in the briefing with the Activity. Survey design The survey will be cross-sectional and employs a mixed-methods approach in data collection, triangulation, and analysis drawing on quantitative and qualitative data. Both primary and secondary data will be collected, reviewed, and analyzed. Women/Youth/Household questionnaire survey (HS), focus group discussions (FGDs), and key informant interviews (KIIs) will be used to gather primary data from the women/youth/households and key stakeholders. The study will have three phases intertwined in the GYSI analysis process: Phase one: will involve a comprehensive desk review of secondary information based on the existing information from program Needs Assessment Reports, Gender, Youth and Social Inclusion Analysis Reports, and any other relevant reports produced in Somalia. Phase two: quantitative women/youth/household survey using structured questionnaires Phase three: qualitative information gathering using observations, FGDs, and KIIs from women/youth/households in Baidoa and Hudur, and other relevant stakeholders. Rationale for the choice of mixed methods design. The mixed-methods design focuses on both quantitative and qualitative approaches in data collection, analysis, and presentation[1]. The mixed-methods approach has emerged as a practical methodology in conducting assessments/gender analysis and evaluation of projects as it gives greater insight into phenomena through information validation and triangulation. Advantages of the methodology include the following: Data from different sources provides an opportunity to understand changes from different standpoints. One data source may not be enough to give explanations for behavior, results, and practices Peculiarity in data collection leads to greater validity as information omitted by one method can be augmented by another source. This method answers GYSI questions from several viewpoints. It ensures that there are no ‘gaps’ in the information collected. The method is helpful when one methodology does not provide all the information required. It’s a good methodology for social, health, and behavioral studies as it interacts with several stakeholders and utilizes all available from multiple levels and lines of evidence n to conclude. Sampling Design To actualize this design, the gender will target different stakeholders and population groups using different data collection methods i.e., structured questionnaires and focus group discussions for targeted households, key informant interviews for women, youth, and government technical units. All information gathered from these sources will be synthesized and analyzed to answer the survey questions. The consultant will choose an appropriate sampling methodology including but not limited to a One-Stage Simple Random Sample design to ensure that participants have an equal probability of selection for the survey, thereby producing unbiased estimates. While designing the assessment tools, the assessment team will consider various factors. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches will be employed in gathering information at household levels with a focus on women and youth among other community groups. The assessment will also consider other stakeholders who play crucial roles in the gender, youth and social inclusion. WVI expects the consultant to put more emphasis on the qualitative approach as it helps to generate in-depth thoughts, perceptions, and issues on the gender and social norms. Items covered in the questionnaire will be framed from project outputs, intermediate outcomes, sub-purposes, purposes, and the goal. Further in this approach, the assessment team will adopt the best sampling methods taking into consideration sample size to be used at different levels in the later assessments and evaluations. This should be well elaborated in the inception report. With the help of local administration, the household numbers for the target IDPs and host communities will be obtained before the commencement of the assessment to facilitate the scientific determination of the sample size. This will be based on the household numbers from each IDP and host community falling within the project scope. Probabilistic methods will then be used to sample the key respondents at the household level. Data Sources Primary data will be collected among the sample community groups in the targeted districts. Additionally, local authorities, and other relevant stakeholders will be included in qualitative data collection as appropriate to better understand the context. Documents Review The survey team will undertake a thorough review of all available project documents as deemed necessary to gather vital information on the project design, implementation, and monitoring processes. Of necessity, the survey team will review the following literature: Project proposal including logic model, M&E Plan, ITT & DIP Any Gender Analysis Reports conducted by World Vision in Somalia. Any other relevant documents as required. Field Processes Selection and training of enumerators: Enumerators with previous research experience and the ability to speak Somali and English languages will be recruited. Key government officials from the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs (MoLSA), and Ministry of Youth & Sport will be engaged to support the process. Depending on the sample size, a total of [xxx male, xxx female] enumerators will be engaged for the survey and these will work hand-in-hand with the WV Staff during data collection. The field team (enumerators & project staff) will be trained in data collection techniques using SMAP FieldTask/Kobo ToolBox and/or any appropriate platform and master of the data collection tools before the field data collection exercise. During the training, the field team will also be briefed on the objectives of the survey, how to identify the appropriate respondents at various levels, and how to fill in the questionnaire appropriately. Emphasis will be put on research ethics, accuracy, and completeness among others Field Data Collection: The team will use mobile phones configured with SMAP FieldTask/Kobo Toolbox mobile application for data collection (Uses WV Somalia SMAP/ or Kobo server). The interviews and discussions will be conducted mainly in the Somali language. Focus group discussions will be conducted by experienced researchers using a predetermined focus group guide with relevant themes and sub-themes, while key informant interviews will be conducted using a predetermined guide with open-ended questions for specific informants. To ensure the effectiveness of the data collection process, the tools (questionnaires, FGDs, KIIs) will be pre-tested with a small sample to refine them based on initial feedback. The assessment tools will be developed collaboratively by involving relevant and local stakeholders to guarantee relevance and cultural appropriateness considering language clarity, thematic relevance, and local context to ensure the tools align with the objectives of the assessment. 3.3. ANALYSIS AND REPORTING: The household questionnaire will be automated using field Task/ Kobo Collect application and completed questionnaires on field Task will be uploaded to the server. The data gathered will be analyzed and interpreted systematically. Quantitative data will be analyzed using SPSS or other statistical data analysis programs available that can help generate the required information. Qualitative data will be analyzed for key themes and used to supplement quantitative data organized into themes. The descriptive statistics including the frequencies, percentages, and proportions will be used in the quantitative analysis based on responses under each question. Cross tabulations will be used to measure the variation of information among different groups of respondents and from various administrative units where necessary. Qualitative data will be analyzed using thematic and content analysis with the help of analysis sheets. Findings and Conclusions: Findings will be presented in the form of text, graphics, and tables. The survey team will prepare the report in a user-friendly format, following the structure agreed in the inception report. This section will present findings as statements of fact that are based on analysis of the data. The survey findings will be structured around the survey questions so that report users can readily make the connection between what was asked and what was found. Variances between planned and actual results will be explained, as well as factors affecting the achievement of intended results. The assumptions or risks in the project design that subsequently affected implementation will also be discussed. The conclusion section will be comprehensive and balanced; it will highlight the gaps, bottlenecks, and opportunities in the targeted districts. The conclusion section will be substantiated by the evidence and logically connected to the survey findings. The conclusion will also respond to key survey questions and provide insights into the identification of and/or solutions to important problems or issues pertinent to the decision-making. Data Quality Control & Survey Ethics All data quality control measures will be adhered to during the survey including reviewing of the study tools, translation of the tools into local languages, standardization of the training (pre-testing and ensuring that the enumerators are familiar with local terminology), review of evidence against bond evidence parameters, using GPS functionality in Field Task/ Kobo to geo-reference the data, regular supervision and data cleaning. The administered tools will be checked regularly for correctness, completeness, and consistency. After entry, the data will be cross-checked to ensure the accuracy of the information obtained from the field and then compared and validated. During analysis, validation will be done by comparing the emerging information with secondary data to ensure that any outliers are addressed. Ethical Consideration: As the consultant(s) will be working on behalf of World Vision and the EMERGE consortium partners, they will be required to adhere to the Adult and Child Safeguarding Policy and other ethical guidelines of World Vision. Ethical and safeguarding considerations must be considered during all stages of data collection and analysis and in line with Do No Harm principles. Particular attention must be paid to the potential to cause harm during interactions with women and children who are survivors and their families as well as during the storing, handling, sharing and analysis of data—appropriate measures for which will be included in an Institutional Review Board (IRB) protocol. The consultant (s) will make clear to all participating stakeholders, especially women and children of all ages, that they are under no obligation to participate in the study. All participants will be assured that there will be no negative consequences if they choose not to participate. The consultant must obtain informed consent or assent from all participants, including women and youth. Additionally, the following ethical considerations will be adhered to during the survey process: The rights and privacy of individuals Voluntary nature of participation – and the rights of individuals to withdraw partially or completely from the process Consent and possible deception of participants Maintenance of the confidentiality of data provided by individuals or identifiable participants and their anonymity Reactions of participants to how researchers seek to collect data. Effects on participants of how data is analyzed and reported. Behavior and objectivity of the surveyor. 3.4.

Particulièrement engagée dans le combat contre les maladies liées à l’eau insalubre, première cause de mortalité au monde, SI met en œuvre par ses interventions une expertise dans le domaine de l’accès à l’eau potable, l’assainissement et la promotion de l’hygiène mais également dans celui, essentiel, de la sécurité alimentaire et moyen d’existence. Présentes dans 26 pays, les équipes de SI - 3 200 personnes au total composées d’expatriés, de salariés nationaux, de permanents au siège, de quelques bénévoles…- interviennent avec professionnalisme et engagement dans le respect des cultures. La mission Les équipes de SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL en RCA réhabilitent des infrastructures d’eau et d’assainissement, tout en formant des comités de gestion de l’eau pour garantir leur durabilité. Des campagnes de sensibilisation à l’hygiène et à l’utilisation des points d’eau aident à faire face à la forte pression exercée par l’afflux massif de populations. SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL approvisionne en eau potable les familles, mais aussi les agriculteurs, en réparant certains forages défectueux et en assurant le transport et le stockage de cette eau jusqu’à leurs terres, contribuant à améliorer la sécurité alimentaire. Des travaux d’intérêt communautaire permettent de faciliter les activités agricoles, pastorales et commerciales et donc d’augmenter la disponibilité en nourriture et de relancer le marché. Nos équipes fournissent des kits d’outils et des semences aux agriculteurs et aux éleveurs, et dispensent des formations. Grâce à un mécanisme de réponse d’urgence rapide et à la constitution d’un stock d’urgence, SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL se tient prêt à intervenir dès les premières heures d’une catastrophe d’origine humaine ou naturelle afin d’assurer un accès à l’eau potable et à un environnement sain pour les populations vulnérabilisées par un choc, une catastrophe naturelle ou une épidémie.

Plusieurs financements couvrent l’année 2023 mais la visibilité financière pour 2023 doit se confirmer à travers plusieurs propositions de projet en cours. L’objectif est à la stabilisation de la mission autour d’un volume d’activité et de financement équivalent ou légèrement supérieur à 2022.

EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS 5.1 Completeness IUCN will firstly check your proposal for completeness. Incomplete proposals will not be considered further. 5.2 Technical Evaluation 5.2.1 Scoring Method Your proposal will be assigned a score from 0 to 10 for each of the technical evaluation criteria, such that ‘0’ is low and ‘10’ is high. 5.2.2 Minimum Quality Thresholds Proposals that receive a score of ‘0’ for any of the criteria will not be considered further. 5.2.3 Technical Score Your score for each technical evaluation criterion will be multiplied with the respective relative weight (see Section 4.4) and these weighted scores added together to give your proposal’s overall technical score. 5.3. Financial Evaluation and Financial Scores The financial evaluation will be based upon the full total price you submit. Your financial proposal will receive a score calculated by dividing the lowest financial proposal that has passed the minimum quality thresholds (see Section 5.2.2) by the total price of your financial proposal. Thus, for example, if your financial proposal is for a total of CHF 100 and the lowest financial proposal is CHF 80, you will receive a financial score of 80/100 = 80% 5.4. Total Score Your proposal’s total score will be calculated as the weighted sum of your technical score and your financial score. The relative weights will be: Technical: 70% Financial: 30% Thus, for example, if your technical score is 83% and your financial score is 77%, you will receive a total score of 83 * 70% + 77 * 30% = 58.1% + 23.1% = 81.2%. Subject to the requirements in Sections 4 and 7, IUCN will award the contract to the bidder whose proposal achieves the highest total score. 6. EXPLANATION OF PROCUREMENT PROCEDURE 6.1. IUCN is using the Invitation Procedure for this procurement. This means that only invited bidders may submit a proposal. IUCN typically invites from four to six bidders to submit a proposal. 6.2. You are welcome to ask questions or seek clarification regarding this procurement. Please email the IUCN Contact (see Section 2), taking note of the deadline for submission of questions in Section 3.1. 6.3.

All proposals received by the submission deadline will be evaluated by a team of two or more evaluators in accordance with the evaluation criteria stated in in this RfP. No other criteria will be used to evaluate proposals. The contract will be awarded to the bidder whose proposal received the highest Total Score. IUCN does, however, reserve the right to cancel the procurement and not award a contract at all. 6.4. IUCN will contact the bidder with the highest-scoring proposal to finalize the contract. We will contact unsuccessful bidders after the contract has been awarded and provide detailed feedback.

About the Project IPLCs are the primary stewards of many of the world's most biodiverse and ecologically critical regions. They play a vital role in conservation, sustainable resource management, and cultural preservation. However, despite their significant contributions, IPLCs often face barriers in accessing direct funding to support their initiatives and secure their rights to manage and protect their natural resources. To address these challenges and empower IPLCs to have greater control over their financial resources, we aim to design a dedicated trust fund that ensures direct, reliable access to funding. This trust fund will be structured to prioritize the needs of IPLCs, streamline access to resources, and foster community-led solutions. The Great Blue Wall (GBW) initiative is a bold regional movement to create a connected network of regenerative seascapes along the Western Indian Ocean (WIO). Its vision is to build a regenerative and resilient blue economy, empowering local communities and indigenous peoples to become stewards of the blue natural capital they directly depend on for their lives and livelihoods. To empower IPLC participation, a dedicated IPLC Ocean Trust Fund is being established to provide financial resources for their crucial role in ocean protection. This consultancy seeks a highly qualified professional to design a robust and sustainable financing mechanism for the Trust Fund. Description of the Assignment Comprehensive Review: Conduct a meticulous review of existing financing mechanisms supporting ocean conservation initiatives, with a particular focus on those empowering IPLCs. This review should identify best practices, valuable lessons learned, and potential challenges that may arise. Financing Options Development: Based on the comprehensive review, develop a range of viable and innovative financing options for the IPLC Ocean Trust Fund. This includes: Identifying potential funding sources such as philanthropic foundations, government grants, impact investment instruments (e.g., blue bonds), and private sector contributions. Establishing clear and transparent criteria for allocating funds to IPLCs, ensuring equitable access and supporting a diverse range of IPLC-led ocean conservation initiatives. Designing a transparent and accountable governance structure for the Trust Fund that guarantees meaningful IPLC participation in decision-making processes. Fundraising strategy formulation: Formulate a comprehensive fundraising strategy for the IPLC Ocean Trust Fund, encompassing: Identifying target donors and investors with a strong interest in supporting IPLC-led ocean conservation efforts. Developing compelling communication materials that effectively promote the Trust Fund, its measurable impact, and the positive environmental and social outcomes it delivers. Creating a strategic outreach and engagement plan to cultivate relationships with potential funders. Monitoring and evaluation framework development: Develop a robust framework for monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of the IPLC Ocean Trust Fund. This framework should track the utilization of funds, measure the tangible impact of IPLC-led initiatives on ocean conservation, and ensure accountability to donors. Sustainability plan creation: Develop a well-defined plan to ensure the long-term sustainability of the IPLC Ocean Trust Fund. This plan should explore options for diversifying funding sources, fostering IPLC capacity for effective financial management, and promoting long-term financial resilience.

INTERSOS est une Organisation Humanitaire Non Gouvernementale, à but non lucratif, qui a l’objectif d’assister les victimes de désastres naturels et de conflits armés. INTERSOS base son action sur les valeurs de la solidarité, de la justice, de la dignité humaine, de l’égalité des droits et des opportunités pour tous les peuples, du respect des diversités, de la cohabitation, de l’attention aux groupes sociales les plus vulnérables. Termes de référence Intitulé du poste :Coordinateur/trice des Finances Pays Code : SR-46-9524 Pays : République centrafricaine Lieu d’affectation : Bangui Date de prise de fonction : 02/12/2024 Durée du contrat : 12 mois Sous la supervision de : Chef de mission Supervision fonctionnelle : Coordinateur Regional des Finances Personnes à charge : Responsable(s) Finance, Assistants finance Lieu d'affectation: sans famille Contexte général du projet Depuis décembre 2013, la République centrafricaine est confrontée à une grave crise politique ayant entraîné une crise humanitaire prolongée. En dépit de la transition politique et des élections présidentielles organisées en 2016 et la présence de la MINUSCA depuis 2014, le pays connaît encore une forte instabilité sur l’ensemble de son territoire national. On note des mouvements des populations civiles et violations des droits humains suite aux activités des groupes armés encore actifs dans presque toutes les préfectures. Les cas le plus frappants sont ceux des préfectures de de la Kemo, Nana Gribizi, et l’Ouham, ou INTERSOS intervient depuis 2014 à côté du HCR et d’autres bailleurs, pour conduire les activités du monitoring de protection et prendre en charge les plus vulnérable. Alors que la situation sécuritaire s’était améliorée depuis la signature en février 2019 de l'Accord politique pour la paix et la réconciliation (APPR) entre le gouvernement et 14 groupes armés, les violences pré et post électorales orchestrées par la Coalition des Patriotes pour le Changement (CPC), regroupant sept groupes armés signataires de l’APPR, ont éclaté à la mi-décembre 2020. Celles-ci ont eu un effet dévastateur sur les populations aggravant ainsi la situation humanitaire qui était déjà alarmante avec plus de la moitié de la population nationale dans le besoin d'assistance et de protection et 1,9 million de personnes dans un besoin aigu d’assistance. Le chiffre sur le déplacement forcé interne et dans les pays limitrophes n’a jamais été aussi haut depuis cinq ans. La RCA se place à la 4e dans le classement 2020 de l'OCDE sur la fragilité. Près d'un tiers des 4,9 millions de personnes que compte le pays ont été déplacées de force, à l'intérieur du pays et dans les pays voisins, et souvent plusieurs fois. Les défis auxquels le pays est confronté sont nombreux et de nature structurelle (économiques, environnementaux, politiques, sécuritaires et sociaux), auxquels est venu s’ajouter l'impact de la COVID-19. L’objectif du projet UNHCR qui est le principal bailleur d’INTERSOS en RCA est de renforcer la protection des personnes déplacées internes et retournées, ainsi que des membres de la communauté hôte résidant dans les préfectures de Nana Gribizi, Kémo, Ouham, Ouham Pende, la Ouaka et la Haute Kotto ceci se fera grâce au monitoring de protection et au monitoring des frontières, qui permettront de connaître les risque de protection et les violation des droits humains les plus fréquentes et d’identifier les cas de protection, y compris SGBV et protection de l’enfance, pour lesquelles la prise en charge holistique reste nécessaire. INTERSOS est partenaire aussi d’UNICEF dans le cadre de la protection de l’enfance en particulier pour assister les enfants associés aux forces et aux groupes armées. Il gère aussi de projet de Nutrition dans la province du Ouham Pendé qui ont aussi une composante WASH. Le bailleur SV (Stichting Vluchteling) finance aussi ce type d’intervention.

Background: War Child Canada is an international charity organization registered in Toronto, Canada, dedicated to helping children and their communities overcome the devastating effects of active and post war. Its vision is “Accelerating Peace by disrupting the cycle of violence” and its mission is “Driving Generational Change for The Hardest Hit by Investing in The Power of Local Communities.” Since being founded in 1999, War Child Canada has worked in 20 countries across the world and we are currently operational in Afghanistan, Yemen, Sudan, South Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Uganda. During the past five years, War Child Canada reached over 2,500,000 conflict-afflicted children and adults; 985,000 people benefitted from War Child’s educational initiatives; 480,000 people were helped to climb out of poverty and 1,075,000 people learned more about their rights and had better access to justice systems. War Child Canada in Uganda: Since 2014, War Child Canada has worked in 10 districts, mainly Refugee hosting, and implementing programs on integrated education, access to justice (includes peacebuilding), and livelihoods in the districts of: Adjumani, Obongi, Yumbe, Terego, Madi-okollo, Koboko, Isingiro, Lamwo, Kikuube, Koboko and Kamwenge districts. The Bridge Project: War Child Canada in partnership with Mastercard Foundation, Community Empowerment for Rural Development – CEFORD, Education Local Expertise Uganda (ELECU) and eight Refugee Led Community based organizations, are implementing the Bridge: From Secondary Education and Skills Development to Job Opportunities for Refugee and Host Community Youth in Uganda’ Project. The 5-year Bridge project (2022 to 2026) is part of the Mastercard Foundation’s Young Africa Works Strategy (2018 to 2030) [1] to address the youth unemployment challenge among refugee and host communities in 9 refugee settlements in Adjumani, Obongi, Isingiro, Kamwenge, Kikuube, Yumbe, Terego, Madi-okollo and Koboko districts. War Child Canada and project implementing partners employ a gender sensitive and inclusive approach to programming, empower young people and recognize their potential as agents of change to ensure effective implementation and sustainability of the interventions. The goal of the project is improved access to quality and relevant education and employment opportunities among refugees and host community youth in Uganda by 2027. This will be achieved through two outcomes. Increased access to market relevant secondary and tertiary education and skills for refugee and host community youth Improved capacity of education institutions and teachers to offer quality and relevant education and skills for refugee and host community youth The program aims to increase demand for education through strong community engagement and supply by strengthening the capacity of Accelerated Education Program (AEP) in host schools and BTVETs on gender and age-sensitive education by enrolling 20,400 Lower Secondary AEP learners (14,280 female) and 2,168 (1,518 female) Advanced level learners into 34 lower secondary AEP centers, 2,003 learners (1,402 female) in 15 Business, Technical, Vocational Education and Training (BTVET) schools and 136 learners in different universities across the country. The program aims to improve the quality and relevance of education by placing a strong focus on teacher capacity and formal, non-formal and alternative education and learning opportunities. The program further supports young people in their transition to dignified work and throughout the life of the project, to thrive in their chosen form of employment or livelihood. Activities to support their success will include conducting market analysis annually to tailor interventions to the business context at the refugee settlement, implementing an adopted UPSHIFT business incubation “boot camps”, strengthening youth business support centers and BTVET institutions through training and infrastructure improvements, providing financial support to young people to access training programs and set up businesses and pairing young people with mentors from the business community. Finally, the program approach promotes continuous learning and development to ensure project sustainability.

The overall objective of the Mid Term Review is to assess the progress the project has made against planned objectives, changes in labor market demands for young people’s access to dignified work and guide the remaining and future implementation in terms of its focus and direction. The mid-term review for bridge project will specifically serve the following purposes: 1. Assess the progress made towards project goals and objectives set at the beginning of the Bridge project. The consultant will measure the following indicators and provide comparison and analysis against baseline results disaggregated by gender: Goal Indicator 1: Percentage of targeted youth reporting dignified and fulfilling work Goal Indicator 2: Percentage of supported youth who rate themselves and /or their businesses as resilient (capacities to survive, cope, thrive or cope) to shocks & stresses Goal Indicator 3: Percentage of targeted youth who report actively influencing decision(s) that effect changes in the education sector Goal Indicator 4: Percentage of targeted youth who report positive changes in accessing resources (income, social networks, political, etc.) Goal Indicator 5: Percentage of targeted youth reporting improvements in their own well-being (access to services, life satisfaction, food security and safety Outcome 1 Indicator: Number of youths in work (YiW) with support from the project disaggregated by gender, annual income, etc. Outcome 2 Indicator: Percentage of teachers knowledgeable in gender equality, gender-responsive pedagogy, conflict sensitive education, entrepreneurship and 21st Century skills 2. Assess the changes in the current labor and market dynamics and skills demands within the project target area. These insights will inform strategic adjustments to the project in the remaining implementation period. This will ensure alignment with evolving market trends, effectively enhance the employability of the youth and ultimately contribute to dignified and fulfilling work for the youth involved. The consultant will address the following questions as part of the midterm review: Labor Market Conditions: What emerging sectors or industries show potential for youth employment in the near future (3 years)? What are the changes in the local labor market, including demand for specific skills and occupations in the target area since the start of the project? How effectively are the project’s skills training programs aligned with the current labor market needs? What percentage of trained youth have secured employment or started entrepreneurial ventures? What trades or value chains offer particular opportunities for young women, considering the barriers and challenges they may face? Which value chains within the local context show the highest demand for labor and entrepreneurial opportunities for youth? What are the key barriers youth face in joining high-potential trades, and what support systems (e.g., financing, mentorship, infrastructure) are essential to overcome these barriers? Skill Gaps: What skills have been acquired by youth participants through the project, and how do these align with current market demands? What skills and capacities are essential for youth to succeed in these high-potential trades, and how well does the current training align with these needs What skill gaps still exist among youth participants that need to be addressed to improve employability? Challenges and Barriers: What challenges and/or barriers have young people/participants faced in accessing employment opportunities since the start of the project? What specific challenges have young women faced? How have socio-economic factors influenced youth employment in the region since the start of the project? Impact of Training and Improvement: How has the skills training contributed to the employability of participants considering both self or wage employment? What adjustments can be made to training approaches to better meet the needs of the labor market and youth participants? 3. Identify project components which demonstrate evidence of significant impact and sustainability for scale-up in future phases. The midterm evaluation will identify specific project components that are working well related to sustainability and with potential for scale up and document the key factors that contribute to this success under each outcome. The evidence generated will inform the design of future interventions. 4. Answer project learning questions. The following questions will be integrated into the mid-term review to inform understanding of key aspects of programming and the project’s theory of change: How do youth define dignified and fulfilling work from their perspective and its application in programming? To what extent and in what ways does current employment contribute to youth’s feelings of confidence and self-worth (well-being). For example, changes in self-perception, attitude, and confidence related to employment and job seeking)?
