Country: South Sudan
Organization: Norwegian People’s Aid
Closing date: 2 May 2022
INTRODUCTION: Norwegian People’s Aid (NPA) South Sudan is an International Non-Governmental Organization involved in humanitarian, relief and long-term development cooperation in South Sudan. NPA has worked in South Sudan since 1986 and currently runs three programmes: Civil Society Development, Rural Development, and Emergency Response. The Urban Safety Nets (USN) Programme funded by the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) commenced on 1st May 2021 and is scheduled to end on 30th April 20222. The USN programme which is under NPA’s Emergency Response Programme (ERP) is being implemented in Rumbek Center County in Lakes State. The target locations include Nyot tik Angui, Nyangakot, PDU & Abubu Centre of Rumbek Town. The project seeks to address immediate food security needs through Cash Based Transfers (CBT) and support resilience building by transferring knowledge and skills to improve the livelihoods of vulnerable urban residents in Rumbek Centre County of Lakes State. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT: Background: The USN project seeks to address immediate food security needs with cash-based transfers and support resilience building by transferring knowledge and skills that will improve the livelihoods of vulnerable urban residents. The CBT component aimed to place vulnerable households on accelerated path to early recovery and to address the long-term food insecurity challenges in a sustainable manner. The project also aimed to enhance the capacity of youth including vulnerable girls and young women through vocational skills training and Income Generating Activities (IGA). To enhance sustainability of the vocational skills training and IGAs, graduates who completed the various market-led courses were provided with start-up kits support to enable them start various businesses in Rumbek Town or surrounding areas. Further, the project provided trainings to targeted vulnerable smallholder farmers to improve their knowledge, attitude and practices on agricultural production, nutrition, post-harvest handling and processing, value addition, and marketing. The project supported vulnerable households to construct and maintain community access roads and in return, the target households received cash transfers. By focusing on improved food security through cash transfers, vocational skills training, and awareness raising on hygiene, nutrition, conflict sensitivity and post-harvest handling management under vegetable crop production and improving market access through community road maintenance, the USN programme sought to address the most critical challenges faced by target population. The livelihoods of the targeted beneficiary communities remain fragile and vulnerable due to a combination of man-made and natural shocks that continue to undermine household food security and erode gains that were made through previous food security interventions. Thus, through the USN Programme, NPA with support from WFP, sought to contribute towards enhanced community resilience to shocks and stressors by improving food security and increasing access to livelihood opportunities in Rumbek town of Lakes State. Overall Objective: The primary goal of the USN Programme was to address immediate food security needs with cash-based transfers and support resilience building by transferring knowledge and skills that will improve the livelihoods of vulnerable urban residents. Specific Objective: The specific objective of this intervention was to enhance community resilience to shocks and stressors by improving food security and increasing access to livelihood opportunities for vulnerable populations in Nyot tik Angui, Nyangakot, PDU & Abubu of Rumbek Town, Lakes State. PURPOSE OF THE ASSIGNMENT: The main purpose of this evaluation is to assess the extent to which the USN programme delivered on the planned outputs and outcomes as well as progress towards achievements of the respective objectives and indicators, while highlighting enabling factors and challenges encountered. The evaluation also seeks to render accountability to beneficiaries, stakeholders, NPA and WFP. The specific objectives of this evaluation include:
The evaluation is expected to provide data on the performance of project interventions as per the DAC Criteria (Relevance, Efficiency, Effectiveness, Impact and Sustainability). The findings and recommendations will contribute to a learning process which will enable the NPA, the donor- WFP and other project stakeholders (line ministries and its directorates) and other partners (NGO/ UN Agencies) to draw lessons in order to improve the quality of service provision to target communities. The findings of the evaluation will also inform NPA on the effectiveness of beneficiary accountability system and mechanisms used during the project implementation. METHODOLOGY: The desired methodology for this survey is participatory whereby NPA, Stakeholders and the donor (WFP) will all be part of the evaluation process. The consultant will however provide leadership and bear responsibility for the process, the findings, the recommendations and the content of the final report. The evaluation methods will mainly focus on generating quantitative and qualitative data through literature review of relevant reports from reliable and trusted sources/ projects documents, household interviews, key informant interviews (KII) and focus group discussion (FGD). All the data collected through this evaluation assessment should be disaggregated by Age, Gender and Diversity (AGD). The design and implementation of this evaluation must ensure that, principles of gender equality, inclusion and non-discrimination are considered and acted upon throughout, and that the meaningful participation of the most vulnerable groups and other key stakeholders is promoted in the design and implementation processes. LINE OF INQUIRY: During this evaluation, the consultant is expected to consider the following evaluation criteria as laid out in the DAC principles for evaluation of development assistance.

This includes analysis of the attainment of outcomes and impacts, project objectives, and delivery and completion of project outputs and activities as outlined in project log frame. c) Efficiency and Cost Effectiveness: This criterion measures the outputs – qualitative and quantitative – in relation to the inputs, costs and implementing time. It is an economic term which signifies USN project assistance provided used the least costly resources possible in order to achieve the desired results. d) Impact: This criterion measures the Positive and negative changes produced by this intervention, directly or indirectly, intended or unintended. This involves the main impacts and effects resulting from the activity on the social, economic, environmental and other development aspects within the target communities. e) Sustainability: This criterion measures the benefits of an activity that are likely to continue after the project has been completed and no more donor funding is available. It also seeks to identify and outline relevant factors that will help to improve sustainability of project. Other Criteria to be considered for this evaluation include: Project Achievements: Evaluate the achievements of the project against the expected project outcomes taking into consideration the various factors that contributed to the successful implementation of the project. Refer to the immediate objectives, outputs, indicators and activities specified in the project document (Log frame). Implementation Approach: Analyze the project’s approach vis-à-vis the development problems being addressed, adaptation to changing conditions, partnerships/ collaboration in implementation arrangements, changes in project design and overall project management. Replication and Scaling-Up Approach: Based on the lessons and experiences in the project, this is the process of duplicating the design and implementation in adjacent communities and other sectors to create a multiplier effect that will expand the coverage of the project.

REACH Senior Assessment Officer (Multi-Sector Needs Assessment)
CLICK HERE TO SEARCH FOR SIMILAR OFFERS |
Country: South Sudan
Organization: IMPACT Initiatives
Closing date: 3 Dec 2021
We are currently looking for a REACH Senior Assessment Officer to lead the Multi Sector Needs Assessment (MSNA) in South Sudan. Supervisor: REACH Deputy Country Coordinator** Title: REACH Senior Assessment Officer** Location: Juba**,** South Sudan** Contract duration: 12 months Start date: ASAP BACKGROUND ON IMPACT AND REACHREACH was born in 2010 as a joint initiative of two International NGOs (IMPACT Initiatives and ACTED) and the United Nations Operational Satellite Applications Programme (UNOSAT). REACH’s purpose is to promote and facilitate the development of information products that enhance the humanitarian community’s decision making and planning capacity for emergency, reconstruction and development contexts. REACH facilitates information management for aid actors through three complementary services: (a) need and situation assessments facilitated by REACH teams; (b) situation analysis using satellite imagery; (c) provision of related database and (web)-mapping facilities and expertise. IMPACT Initiatives is a humanitarian NGO, based in Geneva, Switzerland. The organisation manages several initiatives, including the REACH Initiative. The IMPACT team comprises specialists in data collection, management and analysis and GIS. IMPACT was launched at the initiative of ACTED, an international NGO whose headquarter is based in Paris and is present in thirty countries. The two organizations have a strong complementarity formalized in a global partnership, enabling IMPACT to benefit from ACTED’s operational support on its fields of intervention. COUNTRY PROFILEIMPACT, through its own activities, or through REACH, has been implementing programming in South Sudan since 2012. Responding to the Sudan Border Crisis, REACH initially engaged through coordinated information management support – in the form of refugee camp mapping and service provision analyses, thematic assessments, and multi-sectoral needs assessments – in Maban County, Upper Nile State and Pariang County, Unity State. IMPACT was engaged by DFID to provide a series of impact evaluations of their BRACE programming across Greater Bahr el Ghazal and Upper Nile States in 2013; a programme with run for two years, included 5 total assessments, and touched a total of more than 20,000 households. Immediately following the conflict of December 2013, REACH expanded its programming to include the IDP response, participating in Initial Rapid Needs Assessments of conflict affected areas, providing mapping and monthly service provision analyses for major IDP sites around the country, and running large-scale IDP return intentions assessments. 2016 has seen the expansions of both IMPACT and REACH programming to 9 of 10 states, spanning the refugee, IDP and development responses, and covering diverse activities such as cross border port monitoring, assessments of hard to reach areas, flood mapping and vulnerability analysis, market monitoring and supply chain analysis, analysis of tensions and conflicts over access to natural resources. Anno 2021, REACH programming is covering all ten states and has expanded its programming, including a nation-wide multi-sectoral needs assessment, AAP (accountability to affected population), and conflict sensitivity. IMPACT and REACH programming will focus on integrating ongoing assessments into a common data stream, expanding the geographic scale of activities, connecting information streams to surrounding countries that are impacted by events in South Sudan, and continuing to adopt a beneficiary-centric approach to data collection that puts that needs of affected populations, and the return of information to them, at the centre of our work. REACH is working closely with OCHA to implement a multi-sector needs assessment to support the 2022 Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO). In 2021 and beyond REACH South Sudan is looking to expand information support to the humanitarian response in coordination with the clusters and in several key inter-sectoral areas. Key strategic aims are to enhance reliability of country wide household level data, enhance sectoral coverage and enhance advocacy capacity through strengthened data collection and information targeting via the MSNA/FSNMS+ structure.
