Purpose and Deliverables
The purpose of this consultancy is to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the program activities and results and to assess the achievements in line with initially defined objectives, while generating key lessons in the Inclusive Humanitarian Action theme.
The evaluation will also consider the partnership approach, and compliance of the project with the Core Humanitarian Standard (CHS) and the Humanitarian Inclusion Standards (HIS), providing recommendations to support organizational learning and future programming, and building on the previously done Real Time Evaluation done in 2022.
At a minimum the evaluation will explore:
The overall performance of the response with reference to its respective strategy, objectives and quantitative and qualitative indicators defined by the project document and the implementation arrangements.
In line with the DAC Criteria, Relevance, Effectiveness, Efficiency, coherence, Impact and Sustainability of the project.
The coordination of the response, both internally, between CBM and KRCS, and externally, with other humanitarian actors and county governments, and within the humanitarian system.
The inclusiveness and accessibility of the response for persons with disabilities and older persons
How the response ensures accountability to affected people, in particular (but not exclusively) with regard to the strengthening of local capacity, the avoidance of negative effects and the effectiveness of communication, participation and feedback.
Capture learnings from the evaluation process to inform further improvements of humanitarian work of CBM Global Federation and its partners.
Scope
The evaluation will cover the entire Drought Inclusion project from April 2022 to April 2023 (project activities still running), covering Meru, Tharaka Nithi and Turkana Counties.
