· Identify any unintended or unforeseen effects of the programme to date.

· highlight issues and challenges affecting effective and efficient implementation of outputs and their contribution to project outcomes

· Assess the likelihood of continuation and sustainability of programme outputs and outcomes after completion of the programme in 2015.

Organization: Health Poverty Action
Country: Somalia
Closing date: 05 Jan 2016

REF: BF/SOM/DOC/12/15

Health Poverty Action (HPA) works with some of the poorest and most marginalised communities in Africa, Asia and Latin America, often in very difficult environments. We work to strengthen poor and marginalised people in their struggle for health.

During 2011-2014, with co-financing from The Baring foundation, Health Poverty Action (HPA) worked in partnership with a Women Action Advocacy progress Organization (WAAPO) and the Somaliland Ministry of Health (MOH) to improve sexual and gender based violence (SGBV) services and prevention capacity for vulnerable women and children of internally displaced persons (IDPs) camps in Hargeisa city of Maroodi Jeex region, Somaliland. A key element of this was a shelter run by WAAPO - the first of its kind in Somaliland – enabling access to temporary shelter, food, health services, legal and psycho-social support.

HPA seeks to hire a consultant(s) to examine and document the successes and lessons learned from the project in order to produce an in-depth report to influence future planning and policy development around SGBV in the region and beyond. The report will be used as a tool to demonstrate the successes of this model and advocate for its replication, where appropriate, on national and international levels.

Documentation Process and Methodology
The HPA team will work with the support of an external consultant to develop the documentation approach. It will include use of existing quantitative and qualitative data with additional collection of new qualitative data through interviews with survivors, focus group discussions, data triangulation, desk review, key stakeholder and informant interviews.
The documentation of the shelter home will be conducted on site with interviews with survivors of gender-based violence who have used the shelter and their family members; WAAPO and shelter caretakers and caseworkers; health workers in facilities; police officers, and other relevant service providers.
It will also capture the views from community (E.g. clan) leaders, religious leaders, lawyers and police, WAAPO leadership, HPA staff as well as the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs and Ministry of Health officials responsible for gender issues.
The documentation exercise will look into the interventions through lenses including relevance, effectiveness, efficiency and impact, looking into its potential for scale up and lessons which could be applied for Somaliland and beyond.
The process will strictly follow principles contained in the WHO’s ‘ethical and safety recommendations for researching, documenting and monitoring sexual violence in emergencies’ and ‘GBV guiding principles; confidentiality, safety, respect, non-discrimination’.

Timing
The preparation, fieldwork and draft report writing will take maximum 16 days. The detail breakdown is as:

  • Desk review of report and submission of inception report: 3 working days
  • Field travel and data collection: 7 working days
  • Data validation workshop: 1 day
  • Data analysis and report compilation/submission: 3 days
  • International travel: 2 days

The evaluation is planned to take place in January 2016.

Required qualifications of the consultant
The consultant should have:
• An advance degree in Gender & development, Sexual and Gender Based Violence or social studies with proven experience in documentation of similar capacity
• Strong experience in the assessment of community based development projects through participatory approaches;
• Excellent writing and presentation skills in English language;
• The consultant should have at least 7 years of experience working on SGBV issues, including programme management, research and documentation. Practical experience on qualitative data collection and analysis, and interpretation and triangulation of information from various sources will also be necessary.
