Secretary/CEO
Nairobi County Public Service Board
Organization: Danish Refugee Council
Country: Kenya
Closing date: 08 Aug 2016
Background and Context
DRC has been operating in Kenya since 2005, where it offers humanitarian assistance to refugees and displacement-affected communities by implementing protection and livelihoods activities that increase their self-reliance and expand opportunities for a dignified life. DRC works in Dadaab and Kakuma refugee camps, as well as in Nairobi and Mombasa to assist urban-based refugees.
DRC has been implementing a one-year program funded by United States Department, Bureau for Population Refugees and Migration (PRM), titled ‘Supporting Durable Solutions in Protection and Self-Reliance for Refugees in Kenya’ since September 2015. The project’s overall goal is that refugees have an improved protective environment during displacement and are able to increase their self-reliance. It is expected that after one year, GBV prevention and response mechanisms in Dadaab have been strengthened through community structures and networks; resilience, positive coping and response strategies are enhanced among adolescents and youth in Kakuma; and livelihood development activities provided to refugees and host community in Dadaab and Kakuma have increased their self-reliance. The targeted number of direct beneficiaries is 9,396 (2,340 Kakuma; 7,056 Dadaab).
GBV prevention and response interventions were implemented in Ifo 1 camp in Dadaab and included community sensitization events; capacity building of community-based support structures to strengthen GBV prevention and response; provision of psychosocial support to reported GBV cases, referrals to other service providers where required; livelihoods support for GBV survivors; and scaling up of the “Engaging Men through Accountable Practice” (EMAP) approach to enhance men’s involvement in addressing GBV in the community. Protection interventions in Kakuma targeted adolescents and youth in Kakuma IV camp, mostly new arrivals from the December 2013 South Sudan crisis. DRC activities focused on providing life skills and resilience training, mentorship programme targeting girls and psychosocial support to strengthen youths’ coping responses. Youth were also reached through cultural and sports activities to harness their talents and promote cohesion as well as engagement of youth leaders in voicing and coming up with solutions to youth issues.
Livelihood interventions implemented in the project included tertiary scholarship support as well as business skills and group savings & loaning training for refugee and host communities in Dadaab and Kakuma.
Purpose
The purpose of the consultancy is to assess the extent to which the objectives of the ‘Supporting Durable Solutions in Protection and Self-Reliance for Refugees in Kenya’ project were met. The findings are expected to highlight lessons, best practices and recommendations that can inform ongoing and future programming by DRC in Kenya and similar contexts.
Objectives
The objectives of the evaluation are to 1) assess relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, impact and sustainability of the project, and 2) generate lessons learned to inform sustainable closure of the projects and the next phase of project design and implementation.
The evaluation should respond to the following key questions:
- Relevance:
• To what extent did the interventions implemented meet the expectations of the people concerned (men, women, youth and adolescents)? - Efficiency:
• Was the response timely, appropriate and cost effective? - Effectiveness:
• Did the project achieve what it set out to achieve (output/outcome indicator targets set in logframe)?
• To what extent did the response reduce future vulnerabilities of target groups through specific protection and livelihoods interventions? - Impact:
• What were the intended and unintended, positive and negative, lasting and transitory outcomes of the interventions?
• What are key contributing factors affecting the achievement or non-achievement of the intended outcomes? - Sustainability:
• Which aspects/components of the interventions implemented have potential for impact and sustainability beyond the project period?
• Are skills gained being used/likely to continue being used after the project closure? - Accountability to affected populations:
• To what extent did the project adhere to DRC accountability framework, specifically in information sharing, participation of beneficiaries throughout the project cycle (design, implementation, monitoring), gathering and providing feedback to beneficiaries?
