Evaluation Consultancy Terms of Reference
Project Title: Emergency Response to Drought in Ethiopia 2016/2017

1.INTRODUCTION

Habitat for Humanity Ethiopia (HFHE), affiliated to Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI) is a non-profit Christian organization aiming at improving housing conditions in Ethiopia. During 2016/2017 HFHE implemented an emergency response project addressing immediate needs related to access to safe drinking water in Silte Region, Ethiopia, heavily affected by drought. The project was possible due to the financial support provided by The JTI Foundation (JTIF).
The post implementation evaluation is commissioned by JTIF and will help HFHI to improve disaster response internal processes and mechanisms by learning from this experience in Ethiopia.

2.BACKGROUND

Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI) is an international non-profit organization dedicated to eliminating substandard housing and homelessness worldwide and to making adequate, affordable shelter a matter of conscience and action. Since 1976, Habitat for Humanity has helped 6.8 million people find strength, stability and independence through safe, decent and affordable shelter. HFHI works through a broad network of national Habitat organizations and other strategic partners, such as corporations, financial service providers, individuals, non-governmental organizations, foundations, local governments, as well as private and third sector actors.

The project has been implemented in Silte Zone of the Southern Nations Nationalities and People’s Region (SNNPR), one of the nine regional states of Ethiopia. Silte Zone is one of the areas severely hit by drought caused by El Niño occurred in 2016/2017. Due to failure of rain and draining of water sources, more than 70,000 people face shortage of water in the Zone.

HFHE implemented in the past smaller disaster response projects, so the emergency project was building on some existing experience. HFHI provided additional technical support building mostly on existing similar projects in other countries. Nevertheless, HFH Ethiopia had at that time extensive experience in WASH sector; therefore, some activities are reflecting their existing capacity and expertise (i.e. community hygiene trainings and promotion, etc.).

The main technical solution- water backpacks used by recipients to fetch water instead of traditional jerry cans, was chosen by HFHI based on its previous responses and existing supply chain and international connections. Therefore, logistics, international transport, procurement and coordination with our teams on the ground were key elements in this response. Given this complexity, timing, custom clearance and supplier issues, the project was implemented with several months delay. These are some of the aspects, which the proposed evaluation would focus on. In addition, the external evaluator will seek to reflect the effectiveness of related internal communication flows, decision-making process and protocols. Finally, the evaluation will provide suggestions and options for improvement and learning and identify aspects that contributed to project success – if any.

3. PROJECT OBJECTIVES, ACTIVITIES AND OUTCOMES

The main objective of the project was to respond to the WASH needs of 7,500 families in 12 communities (Kebeles) of Alicho and Sankura woredas (districts) who have been affected by severe shortage of water caused by the worst drought in 30 years. The project intended to ensure availability of clean and safe drinking water and improve community awareness on hygiene and sanitation through community-based hygiene promotion campaigns. It was expected to improve the health conditions of children, women and the community in the project area through safe use of water. This goal was supposed to be achieved by direct distribution of 7,500 water backpacks to the most vulnerable and isolated families, so they can collect and carry home the safe drinking water from the main distribution points or new boreholes.

Due to severity of the problem, some households, especially those who do not have livestock have started to migrate to urban areas in search of water and food. From a quick assessment carried by Habitat and its implementing partners, it was identified that around 70,000 people are affected by serious water shortage in Siltie Zone’s.

72, 534 people living in 6 rural communities (Kebeles) of 2 districts in the Siltie Zone (SNNPR) were targeted as both direct and indirect beneficiaries. Out of these, 37,500 people were expected to directly benefit from the project while the remaining 35,034 indirectly. The direct beneficiaries were intended to benefit from the provision of water, hygiene and sanitation, awareness creation while the indirect beneficiaries were expected to benefit from awareness creation, hygiene and sanitation trainings.

Project Activities:

A1. The water backpacks were ordered, procured and shipped to Ethiopia. HFH International directly coordinated all the preparatory and related logistics through the EMEA regional office. HFHE ensured duty free or custom tax and temporary warehousing.

A2. HFH Ethiopia organized the local partners and ensured transportation and distribution to the field. Coordinated distribution of 7,500 Water Backpacks was organized for the most vulnerable and isolated families, especially the women headed families

A3. All backpack end-users were provided with locally available and accepted water purification solutions and treatment. Chlorine tablets and other chemical solutions were procured in coordination with UNICEF which is the country WASH cluster leading agency monitoring also the centralized tablets procurement system.

A4. Hygiene and sanitation trainings were conducted simultaneously with the distribution of the backpacks. The local teams conducted awareness and education for drought affected communities on the proper use of backpacks, treatment and storage of water. Additionally, community members received information on appropriate sanitation and hygiene practices.

A5. Monitoring and post distribution follow up with families was done. The local teams did family random visits and checks. Additional trainings or WASH related information support were to be provided, when needed.

The activities were implemented in collaboration with the community and the District and Zonal Water, Energy and Mineral offices. Habitat provided continuous technical support throughout the project implementation period. In addition, the WASH cluster provided additional support when necessary but also incorporated the current intervention in the broader country level response for coordination. HFH Ethiopia was also responsible for supplying project inputs and logistical support. Besides the coordination role, the organization provided all staff necessary for the implementation of the project.

1 Background

Womankind Worldwide (Womankind) is seeking a consultant or consultancy team / firm, to conduct a final evaluation review with our partner The Association of Women’s Sanctuary and Development (AWSAD) in Ethiopia following a 3-year project focused on Ending VAWG in Ethiopia: Strengthening services and responses for women and girls in Addis Ababa.

This Terms of Reference sets out the scope and details of the work to be undertaken.

Womankind

Womankind Worldwide is a global women’s rights organisation working in solidarity and equal partnership with women’s rights organisations and movements to transform the lives of women. We aim to end violence against women, promote women's economic rights and ensure women have a voice in decision-making. From our office in the UK we work with a diverse range of partners across our five focus countries to deliver programmatic and policy initiatives rooted in the key stakeholder communities of our partners.

The Association of Women’s Sanctuary and Development (AWSAD)

AWSAD was established in 2003 to advance women and girls’ social and economic development and support those who have experienced violence. It was the first organisation to open a women-only shelter for women and girls experiencing violence and currently runs shelters in Addis Ababa and Adama. AWSAD provides a range of holistic services to women includes counselling, health, legal referral, literacy, livelihoods and self-defence. Taken together, these services give women and girls the best chance to rehabilitate from their trauma and reintegrate into society as more confident and empowered individuals able to live free from violence.

In December 2015 Comic Relief agreed a three year grant to provide holistic shelter support in Addis Ababa and to engage with community leaders and service providers to strengthen prevention and support to survivors in Addis Ababa. AWSAD’s approach is based on a strong understanding that, to reduce violence against women and girls in Ethiopia, they need to work not only with women and girls to build their agency, but also to work within the enabling environment to change support and legal processes and with influential local leaders to change attitudes and behaviour towards women and girls.

The Project Context

The project has been implemented in Addis Ababa focused on AWSAD’s safe house and across three sub-cities (Yeka, Addis Ketema and Gullelle). In these locations, there has been a scaling up of AWSAD’s previous Comic Relief funded project 2011-2014. The independent evaluation of that project highlighted AWSAD’s impact but emphasised that VAWG was endemic and AWSAD’s interventions e.g. the Safe House, were still needed. The evaluation recommended AWSAD strengthen its Safe House and community approaches, work with public officials and partner with others to achieve lasting change. Consultations with Addis Ababa Police and Department of Public Prosecutors raised needs including support in developing and implementing measures to ensure survivors properly access and benefit from these public services.

Improving these services needed to be supported and complemented by AWSAD’s community interventions, where they worked more intensively with community members to develop localised mechanisms to prevent and respond to violence, e.g. creation of women-only spaces to deepen women’s understanding and responses to VAWG, and creation of community violence prevention committees (CVPCs) and related action plans.

Based on the evaluation learning, AWSAD consulted with former Safe House residents on challenges they face in becoming financially independent and discussed with stakeholders offering vocational training and self-help group services to strengthen the economic empowerment work. Recommendations included offering tailored courses in line with market demands and improved follow-on support and work placements.

2 Project Purpose and Objectives

In 2016, Comic Relief approved a 3-year investment grant to Womankind (UK), and AWSAD with the aims of: holistic service provision for 1,080 women affected by violence over three years through its shelter in Addis Ababa; building the capacity of community responses to prevention and support for survivors of violence within communities; and supporting enhanced service provision provided by Police and Prosecutors engaging with the shelter.

Underpinning this programme and advocacy work has been the aim of strengthening AWSAD’s organisational capacity with support from Womankind. The specific aim of this component has been to enable AWSAD to have a much more sustainable and manageable approach to its work with learning and adaptation at the heart of all processes. This has been done through a mixture of participatory capacity building activities, discussion, constructive challenge and encouragement in line with a partnership approach.

Over the 3-year grant period, AWSAD has worked to achieve the following outcomes with the funding from Comic Relief:

Outcome One *- Women and girl survivors have improved capacities to live safely, independently and to support their children financially by the end of year 3.*

Outcome Two- Improved standards of support provided to women and girls affected by violence by Police and Prosecutors by the end of Year 3.

Outcome Three-Increased protection and support for women and girls in communities through effective community violence prevention and support mechanisms.

Outcome Four- Increased capacity of AWSAD to provide and promote a safer and supportive environment for women and girls by the end of year 3.

The project also had four learning questions designed to help AWSAD understand key areas of wider change for the project as it is happening to amend their interventions as needed. There were:

1. What approaches are most effective when working with communities to prevent VAWG and support survivors?

2. What approaches are most effective when working with the Police and Public Prosecutors to improve support services to survivors of VAWG in a sustainable way?

3 Scope of work

Overall purpose

In this end of grant evaluation, we wish to identify the changes that have been made by the project, understand their significance and sustainability, and identify the factors that facilitated, or limited, their achievement and impact. Through this, we seek to identify what lessons can be drawn from the project, as well as recommendations for future programming and learning by Womankind, AWSAD, Comic Relief and wider project stakeholders.

Key questions

In the final evaluation, we want to know:

1.What differences has the project led to?

We wish to know about the different types of changes that may have occurred: those that are directly attributable to the project and those to which it contributed; those that were expected and those which were unexpected; those that have been beneficial for women and girls, and any which had negative consequences.

Specific dimensions of change that are sought through the project include:

• AWSAD’s holistic shelter model

• AWSAD’s ability to support clients to access employment and through it reintegration in mainstream society

• Support to survivors of violence at an institutional level

• Awareness in target communities of women and girls’ issues, and how to provide them with adequate protection from harm

• Understanding of women’s and girls’ issues including VAWG – with practical application of that understanding – by police, prosecutors, community leaders and other service providers

• Women and girls confidence in, and through, access to services provided by AWSAD and project implementing partners (including formal and informal legal support, medical support, psychosocial counselling, skills training and access to income generating activities)

• AWSAD’s ability to form partnerships to collaborate with others to fill the gaps in service provision for physically and psychologically harmed women & girls and their children who are survivors of violence

• Organisational capacity and sustainability on the part of AWSAD (in terms of organisational structure, human resource make up and fundraising) to deliver its essential services in Addis Ababa

Evaluators should ask themselves: to what extent have these dimensions of change been achieved?

We also want to identify the likely longer-term impact of these changes. Are there indications that these changes will lead to long term change in behaviour by women and girls, service providers and the wider community?

2.What is the significance of these changes for the target population and more widely?

• Why are the changes that have come about important?

• How do they relate to, and impact upon, the concerns and felt needs of women and girls, the problems identified by the project stakeholders, and the underlying causes of VAWG?

• If there have been negative changes, how are these likely to affect women and girls in the target areas, and the ability of the AWSAD and/or other actors to support them?

3.How have these changes been accomplished?

What were the main methodologies and approaches used by the AWSAD and wider stakeholders to deliver the project, and did they lead to change in an efficient and effective way?

What are the key success factors?

• Which were the most effective methodologies and approaches used by AWSAD, and which were the least effective?

• Have other methodologies and approaches been identified that could be more effective in delivering the types of change sought and achieved?

• Did the project’s management, monitoring, learning and financial systems help or hinder the delivery of lasting change? Did they enable on-going learning and adaptation to facilitate success?

• How have relationships between the partners and Womankind helped or hindered the achievement of change?

• Has the project been efficient, effective, economical and equitable in its use of financial, human and other resources? Could the same changes have been achieved with fewer resources? Could the same resources have been used to achieve better results and positive changes for more people?

4.Are the changes sustainable beyond the end of the project?

• Have changes in attitudes and behaviour of the target population and key stakeholders impacted on social norms?

• Are key actors willing and able to persist in their new attitudes and behaviour?

• Will the long-term effect of the positive changes achieved outweigh the impact of any negative changes?

• Will the end of the project lead to the absence of key factors underpinning sustainability?

• Will the partners continue to provide support to the target population / act to influence key stakeholders?

• What are the risks that could undermine sustainability?

• What recommendations can be provided to the partners on how they can maximise the gains from the project and maintain sustainability? Are there significant actions that Womankind can take that do not require renewed funding?

5.Approaches used by the Comic Relief:

• How have Comic Relief’s grant making policies and processes (e.g. how they define programme strategies and outcomes, and we assess applications) helped or hindered the delivery of lasting change?

• How has Comic Relief’s approach to grant management (e.g. individual work with grant holders, and learning activities with other funded organisations) helped or hindered the delivery of lasting change?

• How has the way Comic Relief used its organisational assets helped or hindered the delivery of change (e.g. use of the media, access to decision makers)?

• Are there any other ways in which Comic Relief has helped or hindered the delivery of change?

6.Approaches used by Womankind:

• How has Womankind’s approach to grant management (e.g. partnership approach, work with partner organisations individually and jointly, learning activities and processes) helped or hindered the delivery of lasting change?

• How have relationships between Womankind and AWSAD throughout the grant helped or hindered the delivery of change /outcomes?

• How effective has Womankind’s support been to AWSAD to strengthen organisational capacity and effectiveness?

• To what extent have Womankind and AWSAD made progress towards achieving the step change identified by each partner at the start of the grant?

• Are there any other ways in which Womankind has helped or hindered the delivery of change?

7.What learning and recommendations can be drawn from this project for AWSAD, Womankind and the wider VAWG sector?

• What are the key lessons from the project? What does the evaluation tell us about the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability of the interventions, approaches and ways of working?

• What recommendations can be drawn from the evaluation findings to inform the future programming and learning of the partners, Womankind and others? Which are particular to the context and themes of the project, and which are more generalizable?

4 Tasks and Outputs

Methodology

The consultant (or team of consultants) will manage and undertake the review process and produce the final report. This will involve reviewing reporting tools, documentation and grant documents; reviewing strategic grant activities and travelling to Ethiopia to conduct local review activities and discussions with partners and beneficiaries.

The consultant will propose a methodology for the end of grant evaluation that will be approved by Womankind in consultation with AWSAD, before the commencement of the evaluation. The methodology needs to be participatory, engaging different stakeholders in meaningful and appropriate ways and needs to ensure inclusion, reflecting on and respecting stakeholder diversity (e.g. gender, age, disability, geography, income & HIV status). The methodology should also include first person accounts (stakeholder case studies) to assess how the grant has benefited targeted women and girls.

Expected Outcomes

The consultant(s) should prepare a report that is clear and simply written, free of jargon. The main body of the report should not exceed 30 pages and should include an executive summary and recommendations. Technical details should be confined to appendices, which should also include a list of informants and the evaluation team’s work schedule. Background information should only be included when it is directly relevant to the report’s analysis and conclusions. The report’s authors should support their analysis of the project’s achievements with relevant data, and state how this has been sourced. Recommendations should also include details as to how they might be implemented.

A preliminary version of the report should be submitted to Womankind and partners for review at the end of the evidence collection period, with consultation with key beneficiary stakeholders in the preparation of that preliminary draft and evidence collection. A final version of the report should be submitted to Womankind along a timeline agreed between ourselves and the consultant(s). The report is expected to include guidance on the process by which findings will be shared and discussed with all stakeholders including AWSAD and their beneficiaries, Womankind and Comic Relief and how any resulting changes in the report will be included.

The report should be accompanied by an analysis from AWSAD and Womankind of up to two pages in length giving their views on the quality/depth of the evaluation, the relevance and usefulness of the recommendations, and what actions they propose to take in response. This should also indicate how, and to whom, the evaluation report would be disseminated.

5 Timeframe and Budget

It is expected that the end of grant evaluation will be carried out over a maximum period of 25 days and that the local country review activities will take place in January-February 2019, but the specific time frames will be negotiated with Womankind and partners. An initial draft report will be available by 31 January 2019 for consideration by Womankind staff prior to a possible second and final project visit by consultants in February 2019.

The budget should include the consultant(s)’ daily rate and not exceed £16,000 in total, including travel, visa, accommodation, domestic transportation and materials costs, and costs to AWSAD for beneficiary time during the review process.
