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 :

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.

SCOPE OF WORK

UNICEF/Save the Children Consultancy for Feasibility study in preparation for ‘Milk Matters Pilot Project’

1.Introduction

In collaboration with UNICEF, Save the Children is aiming to pilot a ‘**Milk Matters** ‘project which will be implemented in Hiraan, South Central Somalia (provisionally) by early 2016 in co-ordination with partners from consortia including SNS, BRCiS, SomRep and the Joint FAO-UNICEF-WFP Resilience Strategy. The scale and timeframe of the pilot is to be determined by the programme components selected based on this locally oriented feasibility study. The communities in the selected pilot area are key actors and play critical role in ensuring the approach is acceptable and effective in supporting sustained coping and wellbeing. Implementation will be direct with collaborating partners. The pilot will be designed and implemented based on the result of the study finding.

1. Background

Milk Matters was developed by Tufts/Feinstein and Save the Children in Ethiopia to improve: a) availability, b) accessibility, and c) use by children, of household milk. Animal milk (not replacing breastfeeding for children under 2) is critical to child nutrition and health. Milk Matters pilot seeks to help communities and households improve their children’s health and nutrition – and maintain it during drought, dry seasons, conflict and mobility.

To be determined by this detailed feasibility study, it is expected that the intervention (**Milk Matters**) will provide animal health, fodder and water inputs combined with nutrition education. Success will be gauged as improved and sustained nutritional status of children. The approach could apply to pastoralist as well as non-pastoralist zones, in areas where households keep milking animals. For both agencies the potential reach of this approach, given a successful pilot and robust documentation of lessons learned, is significant.

The overall goal of the pilot is to improve child nutritional status even in times of shock through increasing availability, access and utilization of household milk. The pilot’s objectives are: (1) households gain the capacity to improve household milk production by rolling out a community-based animal health and production network, to improve knowledge attitudes and practices on animal production (particularly local solutions for increased fodder production), to improve sanitary milk collection, preparation and storage; (2) to increase child milk intake by improving knowledge attitudes and practices in households and communities relating to child nutrition (including breastfeeding, dietary diversity and hygiene) through locally-recruited and supported community-based nutrition and health workers.

3.Objective

The objective of the study is to explore the feasibility of the Milk Matters (MM) Pilot Project along the following theme (detailed feasibility questions to be shared after consultant selection)

· Compatibility with local nutrition vulnerability and variations in dietary intake of young children by season and periods of stress e.g. proportion of HHs with children 6-59 months registered with SAM in Outpatient Therapeutic Programme, or other criteria?

· Compatibility with local perceptions of malnutrition and nutritional status and waysof ensuring sustained child nutrition?

· Feasibility in terms of location access and security?

· Feasibility in terms of community relations and local government cooperation

· Feasibility in terms of linking with existing nutrition sensitive and nutrition specific interventions and partners?

· Scalability in terms of how location’s characteristics are shared with other areas?

· Feasibility in terms of fodder availability /production during dry seasons.

· Environmental impact

· Cultural and livelihood acceptability and project affordability.

· Understanding existing coping mechanism.

· what messages people are already receiving, how MM could overlap with existing resilience and/or nutrition sensitive and nutrition specific programming

consider the ‘context within the context’ meaning what happens during times of shocks and

Across the following overarching themes

· LIVESTOCK INPUTS

· MILK ACCESS AND UTILIZATION

· MILK MARKETING / ENTERPRISE

· MANAGEMENT, RISK, SUSTAINABILITY

· CHILD HEALTH AND NUTRITION

In general the feasibility study should provide answer to the following complementary issues critical to sustained success of the pilot study:

(1) Sustainable provision of fodder for milking animals (locally driven solutions may include - agricultural interventions, crop residues, market vouchers, or rangeland regeneration); possible provision of milking animals to households with none; using local systems to provide veterinary inputs for milking animals (vaccinations, mineral blocks); sustainable water inputs for milking animals; training needs (animal health, nutrition and productivity, milk collection, preparation, storage); social networks giving access to milk and food; existing coping practices such as lending milking animals etc.

(2) How is milk used in a household in a year of stress and how can we protect milk supply to children in that stress context (early warning/early action focus to ensure predisposition to protecting milk intake of young children); gender issues - who is influencing the milk and child nutrition decisions in the household and what are the inroads to address them; how may this dynamic change in a time of stress; what criteria should be used to target households for the programme; what is the preferred method that the women/other community members would like to get information on child nutrition (counselling, health care providers, religious leaders); what are the inroads culturally; wider variations in dietary intake and complementary feeding of young children by season and during time of stress.

Introduction

SPARK has drawn-up this Terms of Reference for a short-term consultancy to undertake a mid-term (process) evaluation of their MFS II Programme funded by the MFA of the Netherlands. This evaluation concerns the first two years of the programme (2014-2015), the activities of project partners, and the results at the level of outputs and outcomes which need to be evaluated to ensure that overall programme objectives will be attained by the end of the programme, end of 2016.

1. Purpose and context

The 3-year program on “Circular Migration and Brain Gain: Supporting migrant entrepreneurs” has started in 2014 and is implemented in Afghanistan, Iraqi Kurdistan, Ghana, Morocco, Somalia and Surinam. The program purpose is “promoting circular migration/brain drain so that migrants who live in the Netherlands increasingly contribute to developing their countries of origin”. The aim is to contribute toward stimulating economic development by providing opportunities to Diaspora to start a business in their country of origin. It relates to Spark’s mission by supporting migrant entrepreneurs to contribute to economic development in their country of origin and creating jobs.

RESULT 1. The capacity and services of partner Business Service Organizations (BSOs), Financial Institutions (FIs) and government in target countries, as well as Dutch partner migrant organizations are strengthened and improved.

Activities: identifying suitable partners, identify and develop their capabilities in order to provide business support and promote entrepreneurship in the target countries of the programme. Capacity building activities are aimed at sustainable impact within the respective organizations and government departments.

RESULT 2. Supporting migrant entrepreneurs to start enterprises in the countries of origin to increase economic development and creating jobs.

Promising Diaspora-run SMEs are selected and supported in establishing sister facilities or joint ventures in their countries of origin through coaching in The Netherlands and market research assistance in the countries of origin. The entrepreneurs with the best prospects are helped with acquiring finance through a loan guarantee fund.

2. Evaluation objectives

As the programme is well underway, it is important to take stock of accomplishments to date and identify shortcomings for which recommendations for improvement can be made. Although programme implementation is being monitored closely through half year internal progress reports, a more comprehensive and objective evaluation by an external consultant at mid-term is deemed necessary to validate results reported, and to formulate recommendations on programme activities for the remainder of the programme period.

Thus, the objectives of the evaluation are the following:

· Assess the extent to which the programme has been attaining its outputs and outcomes as identified in the Programme Proposal and Monitoring Protocol, and thus is on track towards achieving its overall objectives.

· Review relevance, effectiveness and efficiency of the overall programme interventions;

· Identify gaps/weaknesses in the current programme design, delivery mechanisms and interventions, and provide recommendations as to their improvement for the remainder of the programme period to strengthen the quality and sustainability of the programme deliverables;

· Identify lessons learnt from the ongoing interventions of the programme;

· the changes that have already been implemented by SPARK as compared to the original project proposal in the course of the project period will also be subject to the evaluation

· 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 2016.

3. Key-focus areas

Next to the above stated objectives the following area’s will receive particular attention in the evaluation.

Business support of entrepreneurs and SME’s (objective 2)

2.0 TERMS OF REFERENCE

Background:

The Nutrition Cluster has been operational in Somalia since 2006 following the HCT

recommendations to activate the cluster system in order to effectively coordinate the humanitarian crisis in the country. The nutrition cluster coordinates a network of 141 active partners of which close to 80% are national NGOs - most of whom are based in South Central Somalia. The Nutrition Cluster rapidly increased in size following the 2011 famine response with membership composing of government, national NGOs, international NGOs, UN agencies, civil society, donors, and observers. This had created a rapid scale up in geographic coverage of nutrition services in Central South Somalia. Due to the time critical lifesaving nature of the response, opening of new service delivery points was driven by need and access opportunities rather than a strategic planning process with a clear rational basis for planning of the geographic coverage for both facility based and mobile/outreach nutrition services. While the goal for expansion of coverage of treatment services was attained during the famine response; geographic coverage was not adequately optimised, inefficiencies in service provision were noted in a number of areas, and cases of duplication and overlap of services were quite widespread. Moreover there has been inconsistencies and lack of clarities on the number and where about of existing emergency nutrition service delivery sites which became more complex from time to time.

Accordingly as a follow up of the first consultative meeting held in Nairobi with all cluster partners during 12th – 13th January, 2015; that lay foundation for the cluster road map plan besides outlining concrete action point for rationalization plan II. This had subsequently strengthened the need for finalizing rationalization plan II by the end of May 2015 on the cluster wide quarter one action review meeting held in Nairobi on 30th March – 2nd April 2015. This meeting had also given the mandate for the cluster coordination (as part of cluster core function) and it’s SAG to lead the process alongside MoH. Hence after a total of 12 consultative meetings held during the months of April - July 2015 in various locations including at regional level, the Somalia rationalization plan has been officially endorsed and released under public domain in September 2015.

However few challenges remain unsolved besides emerging realities, new developments, change in programming and/or issues that need further consideration such as accountability to affected population. The critical and unresolved issues include the actual 4W map/service delivery facilities mapping and service plan. Though the later will pave way for smooth transition of the cluster to sector it can only be done/built upon the 4W map. Hence Emergency nutrition service delivery sites geotagging/mapping project is initiated by nutrition cluster upon the consultation and unanimous agreement of all its partners.

Requested service: Emergency nutrition service delivery sites geotagging/

Mapping:-

Geotagging is the process of adding geographical information to various media in the form of metadata. The data usually consists of coordinates like latitude and longitude, but may even include bearing, altitude, distance and place names.

Key Objective:

Emergency nutrition service delivery sites geotagging main objective is to validate, consolidate and strengthen the existing capacity of emergency nutrition units across Somalia to the overall emergency preparedness response towards resilient and sustainable development.

The project will undertake focus on understanding risks and generating risk information that will be used in the formulation of comprehensive IMAM (Integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition) Service coverage/expansion development plans. One of the requirements for risk analysis is a georeferenced database of SCs, OTPs, MCH buildings/structures and mobile site areas that will be overlain with the administrative and GAM (Global Acute Malnutrition) rate maps to produce the coverage and risk maps.

The purpose of the survey is to identify access, capacities and gaps in the whole nutrition Cluster across Somalia mainly in South Central Zone in order to inform better response by the cluster, MoH and development stakeholders. The survey will function as a foundation/base to the service plan that would be rolled out by the CLAs (Cluster Lead Agencies), MoH (Ministry of Health), and is intended to give a valuable overview for the planning and scale up of IMAM.

Assumptions and risks:

The proposed contract assumes that:-

· The cluster partners and Ministry of Health at local and central level will

provide support to the consultant.

· All relevant secondary data preparation and consolidation of existing

data has been done by the cluster to be shared for the awarded

Firm/organization prior to the commencement of the project.

· The assessment tool and methodology proposed by the applicant will

be reviewed and endorsed by the cluster AIMWG.

· The consulting entity will have their already established network of

surveyors integrated in the local community in order to ensure access to the target areas.

· The data collection will be done using digital platform.

RISKS

The work involves travel to Somalia, and the cluster, UNICEF, WFP and its partners do

not assume responsibility for the risks involved with field travel in Somalia.

SCOPE OF THE WORK

General:

The AIMWG lead - (PROFESSIONLA INDEPENDENT FIRM) will be in charge of encoding and consolidating data gathered by the Site Coordinating Teams (SCTs) through defined report forms. It will ensure the quality and timely provision of support to the SCTs on management of data and reports.

1. Lead in the preparation of field survey kits for enumerators;

2. Collect, compile and consolidate IMAM sites data (including coordinates) from

the field into project databases (MS Excel).

1. Geotagging of all IMAM sites and other emergency nutrition service delivery

elements using available vector data, GPS coordinates and possible photos;

1. Conduct field validation of geotagged elements in coordination with local

government and/or non-governmental officials;

1. Encode data from the report forms of SCT members following the defined

template of 4W map.

1. Ensure the accuracy, quality and completeness of encoded data.

2. Gather relevant secondary data, convert and consolidate to digital map

format.

Partnership and project management:

The project will be led by Nutrition cluster and will be co-lead by the MoH. A task force of UNICEF, WFP, MoH and cluster partners will develop the assessment tools and make the necessary prioritizations in terms of scope and location. An advisory group of cluster partners will provide technical support to the task force. Sub groups in each region lead/co-led by local cluster focal points will ensure the regional focus and participation in the implementation of the project.

Location/Target Areas:

The overall aim is to map all nutrition service facilities in the country which is allegedly about 2,200 as per the 2011 information which has been kept in the 4W data though it is known they are less than 1000 and this project will verify the actual number. However most important part of the mapping is to reach the areas that are most difficult to access and where facility mapping has never been conducted. The highest priority locations should therefore be set according to level of difficult access. This is because from the existing secondary Datasets it seems concentration of facilities lie mainly in urban centres and inaccessible/hard-to reach areas.

Target findings:

The mapping will inform prioritization of emergency response as well as service plan foundation for scaling up nutrition besides advocacy for nutrition in Somalia. Furthermore on top of digital geotagged data it also involves assessment of basic information, and key questions will include:-

· What kind of nutrition service is available in specific geographic area?

· The number of facilities that are operational by type of services?

· Current case load - How many malnourished children are in charge during the visit?

· What is maximum admission capacity of facility and/or unit?

· Number and type of trained professionals and supportive staff working in and/or

around the facility?

· Who runs the facility and source of funding as well as supplies?

Target groups:

The survey will include local administrators and Ministry of Health officials, community leaders, beneficiaries, service providers including community based nutrition workers/volunteers, and local nutrition service providers. A full mapping of all emergency nutrition delivery sites/facilities is a key target.

Methodology:

The consultancy should ensure the mapping is conducted in a participatory manner. A standard basic questionnaire will be developed and set up using Digital mobile platform. The enumerators will physically visit field locations and interact with the local community and administration to establish the existing nutrition centres in the location. Data will be collected, analyzed and interpreted in a coherent and systematic manner using Digital on phone/tablet and uploaded to the Digital platform for analysis.

Data collection:

To ensure the validity of the data and to avoid unnecessary contest over the results; an independent consulting entity will conduct the data collection and the analysis of the data. The consulting agency will be using a standard tool developed by the agency, reviewed and endorsed by the cluster, while data collection will be done using mobile technology and the digital platform.

Secondary data review:

The project work should start with consolidating all available information from previous surveys, and valid sources of information

including:-

1. Nutrition cluster 4W map

2. IMAM database

3. Health facilities and IDP mapping

4. Data from assessments done by nutrition cluster partners

5. Relevant data from assessments and surveys done by other clusters.

Key Activities and timeline

· A workshop for task force of MoH and cluster participants will be held in Nairobi to

prepare for the survey including finalizing the assessment tool and methodology.

· An advisory group set up in Nairobi will prepare draft tool, budget and other

preparatory documents before the workshop, and provide technical guidance

throughout the process.

· The selection of consulting agency for the data collection and analysis will be done

by UNICEF with the support of the cluster advisory group.

· The data collection should take place from February to March 2016.

· The analysis should be finalized and result available by May 2016.

Deliverables/Timelines

1. Desk review, familiarization and consultations - January 2016

Organizational Context

Under the auspices of The Somali Compact 2014 - 2016 that was agreed in September 2013 and the United Nations Somalia Integrated Strategic Framework 2014 - 2016 signed with the Federal Government on 29 October 2014, the Somalia Joint Rule of Law Programme ('the Programme') has been developed. The Programme is designed to support the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS) in achieving the Somali Compact Peace-building and State-building Goals (PSGs) 2 Security (Policing component) and 3 Justice, which identifies the strategic objectives of establishing unified, capable, accountable and rights-based Somali federal security institutions providing basic safety and security for all; and establishing independent and accountable justice institutions capable of addressing the justice needs of the people of Somalia by delivering justice for all.

The Programme is founded on the Somalia Rule of Law Programme Priorities which were developed by the PSG 2 and 3 Working Groups and endorsed by the Somali Development and Reconstruction Facility (SDRF) Steering Committee on 31 August 2014 as a thematic priority for part of the initial funding pipeline for the UN Multi-Partner Trust Fund (UN MPTF). The programme adopts the thematic approach of rule of law for support to police, justice and corrections and builds on previous support provided to rule of law, and in particular the progress already under the Somali Compact as reported by PSG 2 and 3 Working Groups and discussed in Copenhagen in November 2014.

The Programme represents a joint approach by the United Nations Mission in Somalia (UNSOM) and the UN Country Team to strengthen collaboration, focus and coherence to support the implementation of the Somalia Rule of Law Programme Priorities. The Programme builds on the positive gains, experience, expertise and added value of relevant UN partners under the Global Focal Point Arrangement to advance rule of law and constitutes a key landmark to maximize impact of UN interventions, minimize overlapping activities and maximize UN MPTF resources and know-how of the UN to "deliver as one" to enhance justice and security for all Somalis. The Programme framework ensures that collective UN action to enhance rule of law retains capacity building, gender equality and human rights principles as cross-cutting issues of this approach as outlined in the Somali Compact

The Programme will rely on coordination with and between different national counterparts, while supporting the Compact principle that development efforts are "Somali-owned, Somali-led". It will also maintain interactive partnerships with UN MPTF donors and other partner to make better use of the limited available resources.

To provide overall financial support to the project, and ensure effective financial management of the project, a Project Finance Officer will hired. S/he will be reporting directly to the Project Management Specialist. He/she will work in close collaboration with the UNDP operations and programme and RoL project staff, Government officials, technical advisors and experts, multi-lateral and bi-lateral donors and civil society, contributing to successful UNDP project implementation.
