: Consultant "conception of a tool to measure the impact of psychosocial activities"

The missions of the consultant will be as follows:

(1) The consultant will support the conception of a tool to measure behavior changes in the framework of the program developed in Kenya.

The partner has been implementing a program with youth in street situation based on the associations’ model since 2006 (combination of peer support and self-helped groups). The NGO has started applying the same methodology with girls in situation of prostitution. The model is phased in 4 steps (formation, capacity building, empowerment and disengagement), providing youth with a 3 to 4 year support. Trainings are scheduled throughout the program: leadership, gender, rights, business management… The first objective is to identify together with the partner attitudes, knowledge or/and practices which are relevant for measuring impact and support them in the conception of a measuring tool.
Deliverable - A tool to measure changes in the behaviors of associations’ members

(2) The consultant will support the partner in the implementation of a first assessment and in the analysis of results.

The consultant will contribute to the implementation of a first evaluation between members of several groups at different steps of support. It will also include the baseline for the groups of girls in situation of prostitution. The consultant will process data and propose the restitution of findings.
Deliverables - Assessment of behaviors of members of association at different stages.

Baseline for the girls in situation of prostitution who has entered the program - Restitution workshop

(3) The consultant will be in charge of modeling the tool in a participatory way to make it useful for other partners.

The consultant will adapt the tool developed for Kenya to make it a “standard tool” for assessing behavior changes. He/she will be able to consult senior managers of AFL and partners’ organization during a one-day seminar in Kenya. The standard tool may be finalized at a later date.
