Organization: UN Children’s Fund
Country: Panama
Closing date: 08 Oct 2017

UNICEF places a high priority on the availability of recent and reliable information for monitoring the situation of children, young people and families, for developing evidence-based policies and programmes, as well as for assessing countries’ progress toward national goals and global commitments, including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
UNICEF assists countries in collecting and analysing data in order to fill data gaps for monitoring the situation of children and women through its international household survey initiative, the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS). MICS enables countries to produce statistically sound and internationally comparable estimates of a range of indicators in the areas of health, nutrition, education, child protection, water and sanitation and HIV and AIDS. For many countries, MICS surveys are among the most important sources of data used for situation analyses, policy decisions and programme interventions, for informing public opinion on the situation of children and women and influencing the public debate.
MICS surveys are usually carried out by government organizations, with the support and technical assistance of UNICEF. Many lessons on improving the UNICEF technical support provided to government partners have been documented in the MICS3 and MICS4 Evaluations. Both evaluations demonstrated that when countries adhered to the MICS protocols and recommendations and made use of the tools provided, the survey process was very smooth. However, in many countries, the provision of survey tools alone was not sufficient without the additional support of personnel providing technical assistance. In particular sampling, training and data processing fell short of international standards where decisions at the country level were made which were inconsistent with MICS protocols and where UNICEF Country Offices did not have the opportunity to consult with survey experts. As part of the MICS program, UNICEF will meet the challenge of assisting countries to comply with international standards that guarantee the required level of resulting data quality, by mobilising technical support to countries at the regional level.

The type of support required by countries at different stages of a national household survey requires specialized skills that are not usually among the skills sets of UNICEF staff members. Therefore, UNICEF Latin America and Caribbean Regional Office (LACRO) is using a highly experienced survey household consultant so that Country Offices are able to receive the necessary technical assistance at critical survey stages on a timely manner.

This consultancy is part of the Regional Office’s strategy for providing technical support and quality assurance to Country Offices undertaking a survey under the new round of MICS (the sixth). This consultancy will focus on sampling design, calculation of weights and finalisation of the sampling related parts of the final report.
Across Latin America and the Caribbean, current plans suggest that in 2017-2019 planning, preparation and fieldwork for MICS surveys will be initiated in at least 6 countries (Suriname, Costa Rica, Argentina, Honduras, Cuba and El Salvador). The number of countries planning to conduct MICS may also increase as countries require data for SDG and national development plan monitoring. UNICEF LACRO will, therefore, hire experienced sampling consultant to provide sampling-related technical assistance and capacity development to Country Offices and their partners in a timely manner.

Purpose

Under the overall supervision of the UNICEF Regional Monitoring Specialist, the Regional Sampling Consultant will be responsible for providing sampling-related technical assistance to MICS surveys in selected countries across the region. This includes provide assistance on sampling design, calculation of weights and finalization of the sampling related parts of the final report ensuring that MICS guidelines and protocols are being followed at all times.

Main Tasks

1. Technically review the sample design of new MICS surveys in LAC ensuring that each design follows MICS guidelines;

2. Compile reports with technical comments and recommendations highlighting proposed changes, if any, to the sample designs. Comments will be shared by UNICEF with the implementing partner;

3. Review or perform sample selection for all stages of selection;

4. Review the calculation of sampling weights and provide technical comments and recommendations as applicable;

5. Review the sampling errors and the sampling appendix and other sampling related parts of the final report. Provide technical comments and recommendations highlighting proposed changes, if any to the sampling chapter and the appendix on sampling;

6. Facilitate a sampling session during the Regional Survey Design Workshop and advise countries attending the workshop on their sample design;

7. Respond to ad-hoc technical sampling queries from MICS 6 countries by e-mail within a maximum delay of 5 days;

8. At the request of the UNICEF Regional Monitoring Specialist, the Regional Sampling expert will take part in country missions and will participate as an expert in regional/global UNICEF MICS related meetings. All communication with Country Offices and implementing partners will always be channelled through the Regional Monitoring Specialist.

ANTECEDENTES

RET Internacional es una organización independiente, imparcial, de carácter no gubernamental, sin filiación partidista o religiosa, con sede en Ginebra – Suiza y Panamá para América Latina y El Caribe. Fundada a finales del año 2000 por la Sra. Sadako Ogata, en ese entonces Alta Comisionada de las Naciones Unidas para los Refugiados – ACNUR, con el propósito de responder a las necesidades educativas de jóvenes afectados por conflictos, desastres, desplazamiento, violencia y otras condiciones de vulnerabilidad en el mundo.

En RET estamos comprometidos con el trabajo en contextos frágiles y situaciones de emergencia alrededor del mundo, para asegurar la protección y promover la resiliencia a través de la educación, estabilidad emocional, actividades productivas, bienestar y autonomía de la población, mediante procesos que no sólo se reducen a una intervención de emergencia, sino que buscan reducir desigualdades a través de una completa estrategia de desarrollo para jóvenes y adolescentes, ampliado a sus familias y con la participación de autoridades.

En la actualidad, una de las regiones en la cual RET tiene presencia es América Latina y el Caribe, con acciones enfocadas en Costa Rica, Colombia, Belice, Ecuador, Panamá, México y Venezuela. Actualmente RET desarrolla programas en la región para el fortalecimiento de sistemas educativos, en educación formal y no formal, educación en situaciones de emergencia, reducción del riesgo de desastres, orientación laboral/ocupacional para jóvenes, generación de ingresos, prevención de la violencia, apoyo psicosocial promoviendo habilidades para la vida, capacitación a docentes, preparación de jóvenes para ingresar a la universidad y gestión para el desarrollo de política pública, principalmente, propiciando la participación activa de comunidades, con perspectiva de género y enfoque de derechos.

RET Internacional trabaja en la recuperación de los Medios de Vida de la población refugiada en la región desde el año 2009. Considera el desarrollo de micro y pequeñas actividades productivas, el ingreso al mercado laboral local y el mejoramiento de los perfiles profesionales como algunos de los factores claves para la integración socioeconómica y el fortalecimiento de la resiliencia de la población refugiada en las comunidades de acogida.

I. Objetivo del Programa

El objetivo del proyecto Fortalecimiento de Familias Refugiadas (PFFR), en el que se enmarca la presente consultoría es aportar al fortalecimiento y protección de familias refugiadas y de la comunidad de acogida mediante la provisión de apoyo psicosocial, mejoramiento de las condiciones socioeducativas y la generación de oportunidades socioeconómicas en Palenque, Tapachula y Tenosique, durante el 2017.

La integración socioeconómica de la población refugiada se logra a través del proceso de educación técnica, social y vocacional que favorece la realización de un camino personal y familiar, partiendo desde una condición de aislamiento determinado por situaciones de violencia y la migración forzada, hacia la integración en las comunidades de acogida y la realización de actividades enlazadas con el mercado y con actores claves del sistema económico local.

El área de generación de oportunidades socioeconómicas del PFFR se enfoca en 4 líneas estratégicas:

Línea Estratégica 1: Empleabilidad.

Línea Estratégica 2: Emprendimiento.

Línea Estratégica 3: Autoempleo.

Línea Estratégica 4: Sensibilización y articulación con actores públicos y privados.

II. Objetivo de la Consultoría

Como parte de las acciones conjuntas que fortalecen el trabajo de creación, construcción y fortalecimiento de los medios de vida y generación de oportunidades socioeconómicas de la población de interés, se considera el desarrollo de una Consultoría que contenga:

· Evaluación de Mercado: Para valorar el potencial de crecimiento, rentabilidad y empleo de los sectores económicos locales. Identificar las cadenas de valor con alto potencial, que deberían eventualmente incluir un gran número de beneficiarios (personas refugiadas y miembros de las comunidades de acogida), e incluirá el perfil socioeconómico y de empleabilidad de la población de interés.

· Análisis de la Cadena de Valor: Determinar cómo pueden desarrollarse las cadenas de valor identificadas para incluir a más personas interesadas en el mercado de trabajo, ya sea en empleo propio (autoempleo) o asalariado, mejorando el rol de las personas refugiadas y aumentando su participación en el mercado laboral.

El propósito de este estudio es contar con la información suficiente, para propiciar en los participantes del PFFR decisiones informadas, de forma tal que puedan acceder al sistema de mercado con el menor riesgo posible y, al mismo tiempo, cubrir sus necesidades y aspiraciones, garantizando mayores posibilidades de éxito y sostenibilidad de sus actividades generadoras de ingresos con base a la correcta inserción en los sectores económicos de la comunidad de acogida. Adicionalmente, proporcionará orientaciones estratégicas para el fortalecimiento del componente de Generación de Oportunidades Socioeconómicas.

III. Ubicación geográfica:

El estudio de Mercado y Análisis de Cadena de Valor se desarrollará en las localidades de Tenosique (Estado Tabasco), Palenque y Tapachula (Estado Chiapas).

IMPORTANTE: Los gastos operativos serán cubiertos por RET.

IV. Alcance de la Consultoría (Actividades):

· Identificar las dinámicas y oportunidades del mercado, evaluar y mapear la oferta y la demanda de servicios en áreas específicas.

· Seleccionar cadenas de valor clave con mayor potencial de crecimiento, rentabilidad y empleo para los refugiados (dadas sus necesidades y capacidades). Se debe hacer énfasis en la búsqueda de cadenas de valor seguras para las personas refugiadas, donde su entrada en el mercado de trabajo no causará tensión con las comunidades de acogida (debido a la competencia) y donde generalmente se respetan las normas internacionales del trabajo.

· Analizar las funciones de soporte (Información, coordinación y desarrollo de capacidades) necesarias para que la cadena de valor funcione, incluyendo las funciones de soporte existentes y las que se requieran (por ejemplo, infraestructura, información, servicios relacionados).

· Identificar las normas y reglamentos (por ejemplo, normas, leyes, reglas y normas informales) relacionados con la cadena de valor.

· Mapear las potenciales cadenas de valor, analizar cómo se puede desarrollar y describir las brechas que deben cubrirse para que los refugiados obtengan empleo de forma sostenible a través de la cadena de valor.

· Evaluar la competitividad de la (s) cadena (s) de valor y determinar cómo crear ventajas competitivas para los sectores seleccionados en el contexto de las tendencias locales y regionales, considerando los conocimientos y prácticas de las personas refugiadas.

· Evaluar el costo, los beneficios, la comercialización y la dinámica de oferta y demanda de la cadena de valor.

· Recomendar planes de acción de la cadena de valor que beneficien tanto a los refugiados como a las comunidades de acogida, que conduzcan a la mejora de las condiciones de vida, de los salarios y el empleo por cuenta propia.

Médicos del Mundo, asociación médica militante de la solidaridad internacional, se compromete desde hace 30 años a atender a las poblaciones más vulnerables aquí y en el extranjero, a dar testimonio de las barreras que se identifican en lo concerniente al acceso a la atención sanitaria y a obtener mejoras sostenibles de las políticas de sanidad para todos. Como asociación independiente, actuamos más allá de la atención sanitaria, denunciando las violaciones de la dignidad y de los derechos humanos y trabajando para mejorar la situación de las poblaciones que se encuentran en situación de precariedad. A nivel internacional, MdM trabaja en 44 países repartidos en todos los continentes y se centra en cuatro cuestiones prioritarias (la atención de los migrantes y desplazados, la promoción de la salud sexual y reproductiva, la lucha contra el VIH y la reducción de los riesgos vinculados al uso de drogas, las crisis y los conflictos).

Médicos del Mundo ha estado presente en Colombia desde 30 años en zonas rurales afectadas por un conflicto armado de cinco décadas. A pesar de la firma de los acuerdos de paz entre Gobierno y FARCs a finales del 2016, la seguridad sigue siendo frágil debido a la presencia de otros grupos armados, paramilitares y bandas criminales. El impacto directo en la población sigue siendo muy preocupante.
En los departamentos de Nariño, Meta y Guaviare, los equipos realizan servicios móviles de salud, con un enfoque en la atención primaria, la salud sexual y reproductiva, el apoyo psicosocial a las víctimas de violencia, el fortalecimiento comunitario y la educación a la salud.
Médicos del Mundo también ayuda a las comunidades a conocer y reclamar sus derechos a la Salud ya que es un elemento clave de la construcción de la paz.

Organization: Norwegian Red Cross
Country: Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras
Closing date: 03 Oct 2017

1 BACKGROUND

The Norwegian Red Cross has supported 4 interventions in Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Colombia in 3 years (2015-2017).

The projects implemented in each country aim to increase the resilience and the capacities of both communities and the National Societies to cope with humanitarian challenges in terms of DRR, health, violence and sexual violence prevention.

In Guatemala, the main outcome of the project that will be assessed is a protection outcome: Preventing and mitigating the humanitarian consequences of armed conflict and violence” focused on mitigating the humanitarian consequences of violence through activities in schools, vocational training for people affected by urban violence and access to medical care for victims. The GBV component directed the funds to GRC’s victims’ assistance centre – mainly female victims of sexual violence – which provides psychosocial support and referrals for rehabilitation and medical care in coordination with the government system.

The programmes in Honduras are mainly directed towards mitigation of the consequences of violence, including violence against health care workers, and health promotion being implemented in northern Honduras in the municipalities of Tocoa and Colon and La Ceiba. The two main components are: 1) “Health Outcome: Communities have reduced exposure to health risks”. This outcome focuses on strengthening government services; raising awareness of health issues and giving first aid trainings; providing psychosocial support”. 2) “Social inclusion outcome: Promoting the inclusion of excluded groups and communities focuses on facilitating youth networks, sexual and reproductive health activities as well as in vocational training for youth in risk being recruited by local criminal gangs”. The project in El Salvador focused on mitigating the consequences of violence, disaster risk reduction and health, in particular in urban environments in the municipality of Ciudad Delgado in the capital San Salvador, highly affected by extraordinary levels of violence perpetrated by organized gangs and invisible barriers. The project had different components but the evaluation will be focus on outcomes : 1)“Social inclusion outcome: Preventing and mitigating the humanitarian consequences of armed conflict and violence”; 2) “Social inclusion outcome: Promoting the inclusion of excluded groups and communities” aimed to reduce vulnerabilities for students and young people through a range of activities that break down stigma and discrimination young people experience by being labelled as gang members, fosters peaceful co-existence and provide youth with skills and training that increases income generating opportunities. More over workshops on preventing HIV/AIDS and STIs; training in the management of emotions and healthy school life; street mediation, livelihoods, conflict resolution and healthy lifestyles and vocational trainings were carried

out.; “Preventing and mitigating the humanitarian consequences of armed conflict and violence”;

In Colombia, the project focuses on mitigation of violence and sexual violence in the areas of, Tumaco, Cali and Medellin. The project had 2 main components: 1) “Mitigation of Humanitarian Consequences of Violence in Cali and Medellín”: To increase incomes and reduce the risk of young people being recruited by armed groups, youth participated in initiatives on issues such as business plans, micro-projects and vocational training; To promote peaceful co-existence, improve communities’ emergency response capacity and reduce the risks associated with violence in terms of education, teams were set up in prioritised schools and trained in issues such as first aid, safe behaviour for the prevention of accidents caused by urban weapon contamination, sexual and reproductive rights, drug consumption and the prevention of early and unwanted pregnancies. 2)” Protection outcome: Preventing and responding to Sexual and Gender-Based Violence in Tumaco”: the project strengthened vulnerable people´s capacity to prevent, mitigate and respond to SGBV,

2 OBJECTIVES OF THE EVALUATION

The Evaluation is part of the project cycle aimed at ensuring accountability for the management of the allocated funds, promoting a lesson-learning culture in development projects as well as throughout the organizations of the Red Cross Movement.

The End-of-Project Evaluation will be forward-looking, focusing on lessons learned and recommendations for actions with similar components. It will also serve for the implementation and the smooth transition of future NorCross funded actions.

In order to complement our internal reports there is a need to generate data through an assessment of the program by an external evaluation. A final evaluation of the ‘MFA funded, health, mitigation of violence and sexual violence activities in Americas 2015 – 17 – namely in Colombia, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala. The evaluation will have a horizontal learning approach with the aim of strengthening the national PMER units. The purpose of this initiative is to be able to take advantage of the opportunity to make a final participatory evaluation at regional level using the network of PMER focal points. This will be done through a rotational methodology, meaning that the PMER focal point of Honduras will participate in the evaluation of the MFA project of the Colombian Red Cross, while the PMER focal point of Colombia will participate in the evaluation of the MFA project of the Red Cross of El Salvador, in turn the Salvadoran Red Cross PMER focal point will participate in the evaluation of the MFA project of the

Guatemalan Red Cross and the PMER focal point of the Guatemalan Red Cross will participate in the evaluation of the MFA project of the Honduran Red Cross.

An external evaluator/evaluation firm will be hired as the leader of the evaluation team including the respective PMER focal point will accompany the external evaluator/evaluation firm for the field visit.

The specific objectives of the evaluation are as follows:

• Determine whether the program has achieved desired results (objectives), and/or has been conducted in compliance with established agreements.

• Determine the extent to which the costs of the intervention can be justified by its results, taking alternatives into account (efficiency).

• Determine the extent to which the intervention is suited to the needs and priorities of the target groups, the country context, global priorities, and existing policies (relevance).

• The effectiveness and the relevance of the programme areas, projects and activities, i.e. the extent to which the purpose, the development outcomes and impact (if possible) i.e. the changes and effects positive or negative, planned and unforeseen, seen in relation to target groups and others who are affected.

• The sustainability of the programmes, projects and activities, i.e. assessment of the extent to which the positive effects of the programmes, projects and activities are still continuing after the external support to the program has been concluded.

• Take into account identified lessons (positive and negative) for improved programming, and to inform strategic policy and planning, including on how future initiatives may mainstream gender from design to evaluation.

Based on identified lessons learned the evaluation should establish specific recommendations and suggestions for potential improvements to the program components and activities for ongoing and future work. The total budget for the MFA program is NOK 40,133,000.00 and it is distributed in different projects. Please find below the breakdown per specific allocations. All the amounts below are reported in NOK.

4 PURPOSE AND SCOPE

The main purpose of the evaluation is to provide NorCross and back donor with an overall independent assessment of the project design, performance and key results obtained to improve the current and future strategies and programmes focusing on lessons learned and recommendations in relation with the MFA funded actions implemented in Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Colombia from January 1^st 2015 to December 31^st 2017.

There is a specific interest that the evaluation report will contribute with clear findings at the following levels:

• Management: to inform NorCross management decision-making for ongoing or future work related the evaluated thematic areas.

• Learning: collect and systematize lessons (positive and negative) in order to improve programming and to inform strategic policy and planning.

• Accountability: to determine whether the projects have achieved desired results (objectives), and/or have been conducted in compliance with agreed standards and rules contemplated in the Partnership Agreements and specific project Operational Agreements.

The evaluation should start with a desk study based on data produced and existing documentation followed by the field visits.

5 METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH TO THE EVALUATION

The evaluation will be undertaken in three phases:

1. Inception phase in order to plan and scope the evaluation and to develop the evaluation tools;
2. Data collection phase using the tools developed during the inception phase to collect the needed information by visiting the 4 NSs with the support of the PMER focal points of another country (survey, semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions etc.);
3. Data analysis and reporting phase in order to undertake analysis and synthesis of all the collected data using qualitative and quantitative tools and to prepare and present the evaluation report.

These three phases should be conducted through an interactive process; the evaluation team should be able to consult with key stakeholders at each stage of the evaluation, and make corrective changes to better align the focus, and ensure maximum relevance to stakeholders. The evaluation should be conducted through a participatory process.

The consultant will be responsible for gathering the information from the NorCross country offices, Nationals Societies from Guatemala, Honduras, el Salvador, and Colombia. The different teams involved on the implementations of the projects from the National Societies of Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Colombia will be available and will coordinate the different evaluation sessions with the concerned communities and the different key stakeholders. PMER focal points in each national society should be included as process facilitators and focal points, while PMER focal point from another country will assist/ support to the external evaluator on field visits, data collection and analysis accompany the external evaluator. The facilities and logistics of the different National Offices will be at the disposal of the consultant to carry out the activities related to the evaluation.

All relevant existing documentation will be made available such as initial baseline, intermediate baseline, internal evaluations, end lines and lessons learned.

The evaluation aims to make recommendations based on solid conclusions from the evidence collected during desk review and fieldwork in line with OECD DAC evaluation criteria. The conclusions and recommendations will be derived from in the fieldwork and will reflect a general outcomes assessment of the operating National Societies and IFRC regional office work in health and organizational development.

The evaluation will assess the following criteria:

• Relevance and appropriateness

• Effectiveness

• Efficiency

• Impact

• Sustainability

The evaluation will answer in a not exclusive manner the following questions:

1. Relevance: The extent to which the aid activity is suited to the priorities and policies of the target group, recipient and donor.

3. Do the programmes reach the most vulnerable?

4. Are the activities and outputs of the programme consistent with the overall goal of the intervention as designed?

5. Are the activities and outputs of the programme consistent with the intended impacts and effects?

6. Effectiveness: a measure of the extent to which the project attains its objectives

7. To what extent were the objectives achieved / are likely to be achieved?

8. What were the major factors influencing the achievement or non-achievement of the objectives?

9. Efficiency: Measures the outputs – qualitative and quantitative – in relation to the inputs. It is an economic term which signifies that the aid uses the least costly resources possible in order to achieve the desired results.

10. Were activities cost-efficient?

11. Were objectives achieved on time?

12. Was the programme or project implemented in the most efficient way compared to alternatives?

13. Impact: The positive and negative changes produced by a development intervention, directly or indirectly, intended or unintended. This involves the main impacts and effects resulting from the activity on the local social, economic, environmental and other development indicators.

14. What has happened as a result of the programme or project?

15. What real difference has the activity made to the beneficiaries and targeted institutions.
