PROJECT SUMMARY
Cash Assistance and Recovery Support Phase II Project (CARSP II) by Adeso aims to promote food security and maintain livelihoods of poor households through cash assistance and livelihood support in Lower juba and Mudug regions of Somalia. The project is targeting an estimated 7,450 households distributed by region of Lower Juba and Sanaag.
CARSP II is a 12 Months project between FFP-USAID and Adeso. CARSP II will continue to employ a community-driven development approach to strengthen social, economic and respond to emergency and recovery projects in Lower Juba and Mudug regions to provide support to vulnerable groups affected by emergency crisis through unconditional cash transfers, livelihoods training and provision of livelihoods inputs. These interventions aim at improving access to food, livelihood and to build resilience among most vulnerable households. Though targeting new villages and new caseload of beneficiaries, the project will build on the gains realized in CARSP phase I project implemented by Adeso in 2014-2015 that provided humanitarian assistance as part of emergency and recovery response and adopts a multi sector integrated strategies that link recovery interventions to resilience by strengthening on recovery efforts of livelihood.
The project strategy adopted by Adeso in implementing this project is direct implementation in all the regions thereby establishing presence in the project areas to provide opportunity of strengthening existing relationships with communities and stakeholders to ensure successful and effective implementation of the project.
The objective of the project, target clients, criteria of selection and Cash entitlement per targeted household is communicated through public forums. The Village Relief Committees selected have equal representation of women. Vulnerable groups including women are part of the process in all project area interventions hence emphasize interventions specific to women as an integral part of the project strategy. Adeso has strategically targeted female headed households in order to reach the most vulnerable in supporting the household fully.
OBJECTIVE OF THE ASSIGNMENT
The assignment is to carry out a comprehensive baseline assessment in the project areas of Lower juba and Mudug regions of Somalia which will serve as a baseline against which outcomes results will be measured at the end of the project.
The assessment will also help in providing programming information to define the livelihood opportunities to be strengthened in the course of the project helping Adeso refine targeting criteria to be employed in this project.
The baseline assessment will help determine the necessary market information to confirm the capacity of the market to absorb the cash-programming and livelihood inputs including the kinds of cash for work structures to be rehabilitated per village. Specifically, the study will focus on project oriented indicators including the wider Adeso impact measurement indicators linked to food security and livelihood thematic area with a view to establish market system for agricultural products and the absorption capacity for various skills, particularly on market integration and access.
The baseline survey on the markets to be undertaken should include:
• Beneficiaries profiling - an analysis of the current situation, market opportunities, gaps, and vulnerabilities and challenges to be addressed. This will be through identification of value chains that have economic potential in both domestic and international markets, for further analysis.
• An comprehensive analysis of the market situation and capacity in relation to cash for work, cash relief, livelihood input provision and skills training - including but not limited to an analysis of purchasing patterns, transport and distribution networks, agricultural inputs systems, market absorption capacity of vocational skills and other livelihood products.
• An assessment of the urban and rural market drivers and their role in creating enabling conditions for the different livelihood groups, covering contextual factors and identifying the gaps to be addressed.
• Recommendations for programmatic approaches to address the immediate priorities with regards to strengthening and expanding livelihood opportunities and systems.
SCOPE OF WORK
Desk Review
Review of existing secondary information and reports relevant to the project will be done. This will provide an analysis and discussion of facts and data within the assignment context. The literature will include among others Project proposal, Project log frame; Cash guidelines and other relevant literature as will be found necessary by the consultant.
Survey Design
With the facilitation of Adeso CARSP II staff and Adeso M&E focal point, the consultant will develop a participatory design where the main project stakeholders will be involved to give their input and views in the survey process. The data collection tools to be used should capture crosscutting issues particularly gender, governance, environment and accountability to the extent possible. The tools developed will be pre-tested to ensure that enumerators and the study population alike have the same understanding of the assessment topics, and revised based on identified shortcomings. This also includes translation of the study tools into Somali language where necessary.

Sampling Plan
The project target areas have been clustered geographically into two regions (Lower Juba and Mudug) which the survey is expected to observe. Samples should be drawn from each of the districts in proportion with the size of the targeted population. This technique is proposed for this study as it is most useful when the sampling units vary considerably in size as it assures that those in larger regions have the same probability of getting into the sample as those in smaller regions, and vice versa. This method will also facilitate easier planning for fieldwork because of the pre-determined number of respondents to be interviewed in each unit selected, and enumerators can be allocated accordingly.
As highlighted previously, the qualitative study will use participatory assessment tools such as focus group discussions. This will require that questions and tools used in the survey are open-ended to allow the collection of descriptive and detailed information from respondents. The qualitative component of the survey will provide a detailed understanding of food security and livelihoods; cash intervention issues and problems faced by communities in target areas. It will also complement the quantitative survey particularly addressing issues that were not collected at the beneficiaries households.
Data Collection and Analysis
Field data collection will be implemented by enumerators selected from regions of origin and supervised by the consultant. This will give the exercise the credibility it requires for wider acceptance of the survey findings by the community. The consultant will decide which statistical software to use for data analysis and provide human resource to undertake the data analysis. A data mask will be developed for entering the completed questionnaires after finalization, following pre-testing. Enumerators will be trained by the consultant on how to collect and analyze data in the field to build capacity at that level. A combined analysis will be done for the collected data to allow program level conclusions to be drawn.
Presentation of survey findings
The consultant will be responsible for writing and presenting the survey report working closely with Adeso field teams. The report will document findings and provide a benchmark for measuring outcomes of Project interventions. The consultant will present preliminary findings to both field and Nairobi programme teams after field work.
Deliverables

1. Inception Report to be reviewed by Adeso project teams: includes initial work plan and proposal for the baseline survey outlining the proposed methodology, survey tools, process of data collection and analysis as well as final set of data-collection tools for all indicators in the log frame.

CONTEXTE DE TRAVAIL :
Dans une période de retour à la stabilité pour le pays et de redéfinition de sa stratégie pluriannuelle, le programme Madagascar fait face à un double enjeu opérationnel :
1) Redéfinir ses axes et modalités d’intervention pour les aligner avec le contexte de développement qui se dégage après 5 années de crise politique et économique
2) Investir le champ de l’action humanitaire en augmentant sa capacité à intervenir lors de catastrophes naturelles frappant le pays de manière chronique
Ces 2 enjeux sont complémentaires et perméables puisque les actions qu’ils sous-tendent doivent pouvoir s’alimenter respectivement et assurer un réel continuum opérationnel.

Sur le plan organisationnel, le programme voit son volume d’activités s’accroitre et a donc ajusté son organigramme en conséquence. Ainsi, la coordination opérationnelle se voit détacher de la supervision de la cellule technique existant sur le programme.

• Assurer / faciliter un renforcement constant des compétences et connaissances techniques des équipes projet (15%)
• Favoriser l'amélioration de la qualité des publications et développer les outils de gestion des connaissances, de capitalisation et de communication interne au programme (10%)

Background

The Provisional Constitution of the Somali Republic was agreed and endorsed on 1 August 2012. The 275 Members of the House of the People was subsequently selected by a group of 135 clan elders through August and September 2012 and resulted in a parliament widely recognized as representative and credible.

In addition there is a parliament in Puntland (House of Representatives, established in 1998) and assemblies in the newly formed federal member states of Jubaland, Galmudug and ISWA. Somaliland which in 1991 unilaterally declared its impendence has a bi-cameral parliament (House of Representatives, Guurti.)

Under the Provisional Constitution, the NFP has also been tasked with leading the process of constitutional review and implementation, which is required in order to finalise a national Federal Constitution. Parliament has set up a Constitutional Oversight Committee, and legislation was enacted in July 2013 to establish an Independent Review and Implementation Commission (ICRIC) intended to provide technical support to the Committee. Support is provided to MPs, the Oversight Committee and the Commission, both to build capacities to review and implement the Provisional Constitution and to support a major constitutional public outreach programme coordinated by the Ministry of Constitutional Affairs (MoCA). This approach is intended to build buy-in for the constitution throughout the country.

The UN – through the UN Assistance Mission to Somalia (UNSOM) and UNDP – will work with the Parliament and the MOCA throughout this process to provide support for this crucial work.

UNDP Project Results

As part of the UN’s overall support to Somalia’s peacebuilding and state building agenda, , in collaboration with UNSOM and UNCT, UNDP is implementing two projects:

• A parliamentary support project, which focuses on building the capacities of MPs, Committees and Secretariat staff to discharge their constitutional mandates;
• A project which provides support to the ongoing constitutional review process (Art. 133 ff of the provisional Constitution).

The two projects shall achieve the following outputs:

Support to building inclusive institutions of Parliament and inclusive political process in Somalia

• Outcome1: NFP and Parliaments of Somaliland and Puntland capacitated to operate as inclusive, transparent and effective law-making, oversight and representative bodies contributing to national peacebuilding and nation-building goals.
• Output 1: NFP and Parliaments of Somaliland and Puntland supported to enact quality legislation and to maintain effective oversight over the other branches of government according to the interests of all Somali people and in support of peace-building and nation-building;
• Output 2: NFP and Parliaments of Somaliland and Puntland established as an effective institution, with a functioning administration and infrastructure and leadership supported to discharge their constitutional mandates to fairly, inclusively and transparently manage the business of Parliament and lead the Parliamentary Administration;
• Output 3: MPs are empowered to represent and remain accountable to the people and to provide leadership in a way that promotes national unity for Somalis, including young people and women, participative & representative democracy and more effective contribution to political decision-making;

UNDP provides technical and material support to the National Federal Parliament, the parliaments in Puntland and Somaliland as well as the newly formed assemblies in the new federal member states.
