Terms of Reference (ToR) for Final Evaluation of Somalia Relief and Recovery Program-SRRP

Introduction

CARE International in Somalia/Somaliland is looking for an external consultant to carry out an end-line evaluation assessment for the Somalia Relief and Recovery Program-SRRP. The main purpose of engaging the external consultant is to assess the overall project performance and the achievement realized against the program indicators and objectives. In addition, the overall effectiveness and efficiency of the program will be measured in light of the situation at baseline. The evaluation report will identify best practices and key lessons in technical aspects as well as the program management approach to facilitate continued learning and improvement of humanitarian emergency response.

This end-line study is a performance evaluation that adopts a non-experimental design for simple pre-post comparison of results using a mixed-methods involving both quantitative and qualitative data. Data collection will involve a quantitative beneficiary household survey; document reviews, beneficiary and stakeholder interviews. A comparative analysis approach will be used to report on project achievements for selected indicator values. Quantitative household survey will be conducted through structured questionnaire, with relevant and appropriate questions, aimed at producing summary statistics. The quantitative household survey will be complemented by qualitative methods that will be conducted alongside the household survey in the form of key informant interviews (KII) and Focus group discussions (FGD)

About the Project

Repeated climate shocks, continued conflict, and protracted displacement mean that Somalia remains one of the most prolonged humanitarian crises in the world. Over 4.2 million people, including 2.5 million children were estimated to need humanitarian assistance and protection in 2019. Significant displacement and destitution driven by the 2016/17 drought and protracted conflict have left more than 1.5 million people across Somalia facing acute food insecurity through June 2019 with 903,100 children under the age of five are likely to be malnourished in 2019 including 138,200 who are likely to be severely malnourished. Women and children represented the majority of the 2.6 million people displaced across the country; including over 1 million who were displaced in 2018 alone. Discrimination and exclusion of women, girls, and socially marginalized groups persist; worsened the level of acute humanitarian needs.

Between February and April 2019, authorities in Somaliland, Puntland and Galmudug issued alerts and appealed for immediate humanitarian assistance to drought-affected communities. An estimated 525,000 people in these regions are in IPC Phases 3 and 4. Displaced women and girls, in particular, were at risk of domestic violence as well as rape and sexual abuse by armed civilians, government forces, and militia members.
