Summary of the End-Term Evaluation

Purpose:

The primary purpose is to conduct the end-term evaluation for the Resilience, Health and Rights: Sustainable solutions and support to vulnerable displaced and Host Communities in Northern Kenya Project. The end-term evaluation seeks to provide relevant data and analysis against the Project indicators and understand the intended and unintended change resulting from project interventions

Deliverables

Inception report and tools, 3 documented case studies/best practices, Draft and final report, dissemination of the report and additionally all data sets.

Background Information

Over the past decade, Kenya has made significant progress on sustained economic growth, socio-economic development, and the achievement of the SDGs and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Still, challenges exist in the form of high levels of food insecurity, poverty and youth unemployment combined with recurrent disasters and rising levels of conflict leading to further displacement and disruption of livelihood opportunities. The frontier sub-counties in Turkana, Marsabit, Wajir, Mandera and Garissa (project target counties), bordering South Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia, are especially and disproportionately affected by these issues.

KRCS in partnership with the Danish Red Cross (DRC) and other partners is mitigating the social, economic and health impacts of COVID-19: 1) Social (rights and social cohesion); 2) Economic (livelihood opportunities and cash/community inclusion currencies) and; 3) Health (primary health including MHPSS and GBV prevention and management) in the frontier counties. The project is employing a longer-term inclusive Whole of Society approach, a Dignity, Access, Participation and Safety (DAPS) approach, mainstreaming of Protection, Gender and Inclusion and a rights-based approach addressing structural issues facing people affected by displacement through an advocacy component.

The counties, Turkana, Marsabit, Mandera, Wajir and Garissa were selected due to being disproportionately affected by displacement, Turkana and Garissa hosting the largest refugee camps/settlements in Kenya and Marsabit, Mandera and Wajir also hosting refugees during conflict situations across the border. Both in and outside camp/settlement settings, ongoing effects of climate disaster and conflict as well as limited access to primary health services, resources, and livelihood opportunities exacerbate existing vulnerabilities of persons affected by displacement and reduce their capacities to cope with humanitarian shocks and challenges. Based on this, the overall change this project aimed to achieve is to address short-term humanitarian needs mainly in terms of primary health services, including protection from GBV and MHPSS, as well as longer-term development goals to promote resilience and sustainability, through cash (including community inclusion currencies – CIC) and livelihood initiatives, which seek to complement one another. To maximise the impact on vulnerable groups in the selected target areas and beyond, the interventions seek to influence policy change and highlight gaps in the implementation of existing laws and policies for protection of rights of displaced persons, as well as engagement of displacement-affected communities in accessing the services they are entitled to and dialogue with local decision-makers on the inclusion of their concerns and needs in local plans and budgets.

Project Objectives

The project is divided into three outcomes, which combined will support the achievement of the overall objective. The first outcome seeks to support vulnerable target groups to enhance livelihood opportunities and increase access to markets through Income Generating Activities (IGA) and the distribution of Community Inclusion Currencies (CIC) and cash. The second outcome endeavors to improve the health and well-being among vulnerable groups and ensure access to primary health care services, mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS). Outcome three on the other hand seeks to improve the conditions of vulnerable groups in camps and settlements through promoting policy change and increased awareness among displacement-affected groups on their rights to access services, livelihood opportunities and protection.

Evaluation Purpose & Scope

Purpose.

The end-term evaluation seeks to provide relevant data against the project indicators, to understand the impact of the project’s interventions. It will also bring out issues that were affecting the project implementation and things that aided the success of the project as well as looking into the impact of the project.

The specific objectives of the end-term evaluation will be:

• To measure project achievements against log frame indicators and compare to baseline findings.
• To determine the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact, sustainability and coherence of the project results in consideration of its goal and objectives.
• To understand whether intended or unintended shifts in knowledge, attitudes and social norms around livelihoods, MHPSS, GBV, access to primary health care for persons on the move, policy, advocacy and awareness on the rights amongst the target community/population as a result of the project interventions.
• To review the proposed indicators within the log-frame and set targets based on the findings that will guide the next phase of the project implementation.
• To identify and provide evidence for the project’s impact, sustainability measures in place, good practices, lessons learned and recommendations for scale up or cross programming.

Survey Methodology

The consulting firm will propose the most suitable study design, sampling methods, sample size, data collection and analysis approaches that are suitable for the end term evaluation. This should be clearly outlined in the bidding document/proposal and if the consulting firm proceeds to the oral stage they will have further discussion with the evaluation management team. The consulting firm will also propose targeted respondents to interview or data sources that can answer the log frame indicators and provide comparable statistics to document any changes. The methodology should consider triangulation of findings, adequate and representative sample size for the targeted beneficiaries with clear sampling methods. All the log frame indicators should be given operational definition in the bid submission. A data analysis plan should be embedded indicating how the indicators will be analyzed and presented.

The evaluation will use the following literature and any other sources for reference and to inform the evaluation process further:

• Final Baseline and Mid Term Survey Reports.
• Project proposal, theory of change and log frame.
• Existing project reports, both narrative and financial, by the time of data collection.
• Documents, policies and frameworks by partners, county and national government.
