World Vision in partnership with the Government of Southern Sudan and World Food Programme agreed to provide support to the most vulnerable population with two projects: A Protracted Relief and Recovery Operations and Emergency Operations . The evaluation will cover the period from January 1st - December 31st, 2016.
The overall goal of the 2016 Food Assistance Program was to save lives, improve child nutrition and restore livelihood for vulnerable populations in South Sudan. The overall goal was to be achieved through the following objectives;
- Save lives for people affected by emergencies, improve food security and nutrition status of vulnerable groups (children<5years and pregnant and lactating mothers, refugees and resident community);
- Provide food for education interventions to increase daily food consumption among school-going children, especially girls
- Use food as a resource (FFA) to meet seasonal food gaps and improve livelihoods of disaster affected communities.
- Enhanced capacity for humanitarian accountability and protection for the programme
The programme was implemented in the former 19 counties of the former 5 States of South Sudan.
The Food Assistance Programme End of Project evaluation is in honour of the commitment made by World Vision South Sudan to conduct an End of Project Evaluation (EOP) at the end of the project phase, and also according to LEAP Design Monitoring & Evaluation standards and World Vision commitment to Learning. The main objective of this Evaluation study is to assess the extent to which the program objectives were achieved, facilitate self-analysis of overarching lessons learned (what went well and what did not go well), and make recommendations that will influence future interventions.
a) An assessment of the program strategy, implementation and management processes; and
b) A measurement of the achievement of the program outcomes and give recommendations to guide future programming.
c) To determine whether the food assistance distributed was adequate – alignment with SPHERE, WFP and FPMG standards.
d) To determine whether the lessons learnt and recommendation from the previous LLE and last PRRO and EMOP evaluation have been successfully implemented and contributed to the program improvement and quality.
e) To determine and evaluate the complementarities of all the programme components (GFD, FFE, BSFP, TSFP, Commodity Voucher, CFA & FFA) in achieving the overall goal.
The Consultant is expected to provide a detailed methodology plan.The proposed research methods are as follows:
a) Documents Review
- Review project design documentation for alignment with the WV LEAP, FPMG and NO strategies;
- Review the quality of the monitoring system, in particular, the choice of indicators and whether they capture desired information to evaluate outcomes;
- Review project budget and available financial reports;
- Review audit reports and compile a list of key audit findings and how they were dealt with;
- Review program policy documents including Human Resources, Finance and others and establish how they were applied.
b) Cross-sectional sample surveys/household interviews with beneficiaries
c) Key informant Interviews
d) Field Observations
e) Focus group discussions
f) Meetings with WVSS, WFP, local leadership, beneficiaries and other NGOs & stakeholder
The involvement of the beneficiaries and implementers at all stages of this survey is preferred. The preliminary findings should be shared with the beneficiaries who among others will validate the findings but also give input in the recommendations. This will be preceded by preparation of draft and final reports.
