Call for Consultants


Invitation for Expression of Interest (EOI) and proposal to undertake End of Project Evaluation


Project Name


Strengthening Social Protection to prevent and mitigate the impact of HIV and AIDS and poverty in sub-Saharan Africa


Project Goal:


To contribute towards equitable and sustainable development of vulnerable groups in Sub-Saharan Africa


Start and end date of project: January 2011- April 2016


HelpAge Reference AFR611


Geographical Coverage: Mainly Eastern and Southern Africa


Contracting Organization:HelpAge International: East, West and Central Africa Regional Development Center


Location: Nairobi, Kenya


Duration: August 30thto November 15th, 2015


1.0 Introduction:


HelpAge International is inviting qualified External Evaluators to submit an expression of interest with interpretation of the Terms of Reference and proposal to undertake an evaluation of the project entitled, ‘Strengthening Social Protection to prevent and mitigate the impact of HIV and AIDS and poverty in sub-Saharan Africa. With funding from Sweden/Norad, the project is jointly implemented through a “nesting” arrangement involving HelpAge International East, West and Central Africa regional office based in Nairobi Kenya; The Africa Platform for Social Protection (APSP) based in Nairobi, Kenya; University College London (UCL) based in London, UK; and The Coalition for Children Affected by HIV/AIDS (The Coalition) based in Toronto, Canada. HelpAge is the coordinating organization.


HelpAge International (HelpAge) is a network of not-for-profit organizations with a mission to work with and for disadvantaged older people worldwide to achieve a lasting improvement in the quality of their lives. HelpAge International helps older people claim their rights, challenge discrimination and overcome poverty, so that they can lead dignified, secure, active and healthy lives. In Africa, HelpAge has a network of 33 Partner organizations and affiliates.


The Africa Platform for Social Protection (APSP)was established in 2008 consisting of a group of national and regional organizations from across the African continent with the mission to create partnerships with Civil Society and other organizations to engage with Governments, Regional and Continental Bodies and International Development Agencies (IDAs) to develop and implement innovative Social Protection policies, strategies and programmes in order to make a difference in people’s lives in Africa.


The Coalition on Children Affected by HIV/AIDS (The Coalition) is an independent collaborative entity composed of private or public funders and re-granting organizations, from both the North and the South, that provide grants to improve the lives of young children living in the context of HIV/AIDS.


University College London (UCL) works locally, nationally and internationally to reduce the population impacts of infection, and to promote individual health by means of prevention and treatment of communicable diseases.


2.0 Background


Geographically, the programme targets sub-Saharan Africa where HelpAge focuses on Ethiopia, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Mozambique and Zambia; APSP works in 23 African countries divided into regional disaggregation of AU (East, West, Central, North and Southern Africa) and the UCL Community Care research project carried out by the Research Department of Infection and Population Health in collaboration with Stellenbosch University in South Africa is currently working in Malawi and South Africa. The Coalition works globally but with a focus on vulnerable children and families affected by HIV and AIDS in Africa.


The programme results were to be achieved through combined approaches linking vulnerable groups to grassroots service delivery mechanisms alongside national and regional policy influencing processes. The project was to build the capacity of civil society organizations (CSOs) to effectively engage in social protection policy dialogue and in the design and implementation of social protection programmes. In addition, the project focused on building evidence for effective policy action, promoting networking and learning among civil society, government, and research and academic institutions.


The overall objective of the project is to improve universal access to HIV and AIDS services and social protection mechanisms for vulnerable groups in sub-Saharan Africa by 2014. The project has four key result areas:


  1. Increased access to HIV and AIDS services and Social Protection Mechanisms for Vulnerable groups.

  2. Regional and National level HIV & AIDS and Social Protection policies and related [policies] plans and budgets increasingly incorporate measures which address the needs of vulnerable groups.

  3. Increased participation of Civil Society organisations in the formulation, implementation and monitoring of National and Regional HIV and AIDS and Social Protection policies and strategies.

  4. Evidence on effective action contributing to the achievement of universal HIV & AIDS and Social Protection services gathered, documented and shared and acted on among CSOs, Governments and other stakeholders.

The programme has reached 90% of its implementation period and an agreed final evaluation will take place between September and November 2015.


3.0 Context: Building Linkages in Social Protection, Poverty and HIV&AIDS


This programme seeks to build links between risks and vulnerabilities caused by HIV and AIDS and to demonstrate the effectiveness of social protection measures in realizing the rights of vulnerable people to achieving universal access in HIV and AIDS prevention, care and support, and treatment. These measures include livelihoods support, cash transfer programmes and universal pensions and other grants. Social protection provides access to resources to meet basic needs and HIV and AIDS and health services and prevents the transmission of intergenerational poverty often affecting older people and children.


4.0 The Scope of the Final Evaluation


The final evaluation will examine the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact, sustainability and coherence within the project on all cross cutting issues and standards.


5.0 The purpose of the Final Evaluation


The purpose of the final evaluation is to assess and document the impact of the project on the target population and policies and analyse the project’s key learnings during implementation. The final evaluation report will be used in guiding future programming, both in terms of appropriate implementation and relevant ways to work.


The main objectives and scope of the final evaluation are to:


  1. Assess the extent to which the methods and approaches employed in the programme have guided the project to achieving the results and overall objective and make recommendations accordingly.

  2. Assess the value for money principle in ensuring that grant is maximised to improve the quality of life of vulnerable populations (Children, People with disability, older people and their households).

  3. Assess the extent to which the project result areas have been met.

  4. Review the effectiveness, efficiency and relevance of the project implementation processes.

  7. Assess the extent to which the project activities resulted in any unintended/unplanned results and outcomes.

  8. Establish how issues of human rights, older persons, persons with disabilities and children are being addressed by the project and effects of the project on these populations

  9. Assess the extent to which the project contributes to Sweden-Norad Strategy for HIV and Social Protection in Africa (including any ways in which this could be enhanced/increased in future)

  10. Document and demonstrate impact and major successes and challenges with global, regional, national and local structures including influencing key actors in the HIV and AIDS and Social Protection responses.

  11. Measure, document and demonstrate the impact created, reviewing how the different interventions including policy advocacy work, have improved the well-being of vulnerable groups such as older persons, gender, persons with disabilities and children, and their respective communities in alleviating the impact of HIV.

  12. Review the relevance of the project’s result areas in view of the changing scenarios vis-à-vis HIV and Social Protection, community needs as well as individual country HIV and Social Protection Strategic Plans, Policies and Guidelines.

  13. Assess the effectiveness of the organisational management systems in the delivery of the project and the HelpAge – Partner and HelpAge – Nested Organisations management and coordination structures and processes contribute to, or inhibit the delivery of the project result areas.

  14. Review the effectiveness of the project’s M&E system and how feedback has been used to inform and improve implementation of the project.
