Catholic Relief Services (CRS) South Sudan intends to conduct a final evaluation for the USAID Tittle II funded Jonglei Food Security Program (JFSP) in order to assess the program’s achievement of its intended outcomes and impacts and draw lessons from the program. The evaluation will use both quantitative and qualitative approaches to fulfil the objectives of the task. The quantitative approach will assess the extent to which the program achieved its intended outcomes as benchmarked by the baseline survey conducted in 2012. In conducting this evaluation, the program acknowledges the effect of the violent conflict experienced in December 2013 that altered the operating environment and forced changes in the focus of the program from developmental to emergency and early recovery. The evaluation will also employ qualitative approaches to draw lessons on how the program was responsive to the altered environment and managed to respond to the needs of the communities. JFSP will engage an independent third party consultancy firm to carry out the evaluation.

Objective of the evaluation

The purpose of this evaluation is to assess the current level of achievement for selected outcome and impact indicators since 2012, and to draw lessons learned on implementation transitions during the ongoing conflict. (See the attached scope of work for full details and application details).

Specific objectives:

The specific objectives of this end of program evaluation are to;

• Determine outcome and impact indicator values and compare with benchmarked outcome and impact indicators values from the baseline outlined in the indicator performance tracking table (IPTT);

• Identify program strategies, structures, systems and interventions that contributed to or impeded the achievement of intended impact of program interventions;

• Assess the relevance, effectiveness and efficiency of JFSP program strategies and interventions in achieving the intended project outcomes;

• Assess the major challenges faced by the JFSP program and the ways in which these challenges were addressed;

• Draw lessons on the transitions undergone by JFSP and results achieved in various implementation phases in order to inform future CRS and FFP programming in South Sudan.

Duration of the assignment

The assignment is expected to take ±62 working days from the date of signing the contract.

REACH GIS OFFICER IN SOUTH SUDAN

BACKGROUND ON IMPACT AND REACH

REACH was born in 2010 as a joint initiative of two International NGOs (IMPACT Initiatives and ACTED) and the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) 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, supporting and working within the framework of the humanitarian reform process. 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, GIS and remote-sensing. 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, which allows particularly IMPACT to benefit from ACTED’s operational support on its fields of intervention.

ACTED is a French humanitarian NGO, founded in 1993, which supports vulnerable populations, affected by humanitarian crises worldwide. ACTED provides continued support to vulnerable communities by ensuring the sustainability of post-crisis interventions and engaging long-term challenges facing our target populations, in order to break the poverty cycle, foster development and reduce vulnerability to disasters. Their interventions seek to cover the multiple aspects of humanitarian and development crises through a multidisciplinary approach which is both global and local, and adapted to each context.

Malteser International, the worldwide relief agency of the Order of Malta for humanitarian aid, works in more than 20 countries in Africa, Asia and the Americas for people in need, regardless of their religion, origin or political affiliation.

South Sudan, the world’s youngest country, celebrated its independence in 2011. The hope for a peaceful future brought by independence was not to last, however. In December 2013, violent confrontations between the government and opposition forces were already beginning. Since then, 2.5 million South Sudanese people have been forced to flee their homes and villages, almost half of the population does not have enough to eat, and therefore, the risk that infectious diseases, such as cholera and measles, will spread is rising. In some regions, the already completely inadequate medical infrastructure has completely collapsed.

Malteser International has been working in what is now South Sudan since 1996 – above all in the health sector. In recent years, the original focus on the care of patients with tuberculosis and sleeping sickness, and the provision of basic medical care have been expanded to include programs in the fields of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) and Food and Nutrition Security (FNS).

• Lead the project team and ensure with the project support team the sound financial management (review, compliance of budget), administration and logistics of the project
• Provide technical and managerial support to all team members in fulfilment of their duties according to project objectives and ensure compliance with Malteser policies and international standards
• Develop and put into practice appropriate and cost-efficient monitoring tools to improve the water and sanitation and food & nutrition security situation with regard to expected results and indicators as in mentioned in logframe, work plan and other relevant project documents
• Represent Malteser International towards local authorities, partners and donors in close coordination with the Country Coordinator
• Assist Malteser International senior management with any requests for information or data regarding program expansion or development

General Description of the Programme:

GOAL has been working in Sudan since 1985. Initially GOAL’s activities in southern Sudan took the form of short term emergency interventions, but 1998, with the opening of a permanent base in Twic County, Warrap State, saw a move to longer term interventions. GOAL South Sudan currently operates programmes in Twic County, Warrap State; Baliet, Maiwut, Melut and Ulang Counties, Upper Nile State (UNS), and Agok in the Abyei Administrative Area (AAA).GOAL South Sudan’s interventions have expanded in recent years to include a more integrated approach to improved living standards for host, IDP and returnee populations, including, curative primary health care, health promotion and behaviour change, therapeutic nutrition, food security and livelihoods (FSL) and water, sanitation and hygiene promotion (WASH) interventions. GOAL works in areas that have been directly and indirectly affected by the conflict that beset the nation in December GOAL’s response can be therefore be categorised as recovery (Twic County, Warrap State and adjoining Agok, AAA) and humanitarian (Baliet, Maiwut, Melut and Ulang Counties, UNS).

Operational areas in the recovery phase have been affected by decades of civil war with Sudan which resulted in severe disruption to education, little or no infrastructural development, limited public services and poor communication links. The situation is further exasperated by the lack of resolution over who should govern AAA and this renders the region vulnerable to sudden conflict and displacement. Development gains made since the signing of the CPA and subsequent independence of South Sudan and rapidly been negated by the current civil war and this has hindered movement from the recovery to development stage.

In UNS, GOAL has expanded its geographical focus and programmes to respond to the humanitarian crisis. GOAL continues to programme where security and access permit and has remained flexible in its approach. During times of peak conflict, programmes go into hibernation and as are then rapidly scaled up when security and access permit.
