HIAS is the global Jewish nonprofit organization that protects refugees-including women and children, and ethnic, religious, and sexual minorities-whose lives are in danger for being who they are.

Terms of Reference to Conduct Process Evaluation at the End of Project.

Process Evaluation for the “Increasing Protection for Vulnerable Refugees and Host Communities in Nairobi” Project.

Background

HIAS is a global Jewish not-for-profit organization that stands for a world in which displaced persons attain full potential and contribute to society through a sustained legal, social, and systematic change, attaining legal status, exercising social and economic rights, and rebuilding their lives. HIAS’ operation in Kenya was established in 2002 with the mission to serve the most vulnerable refugees through community-based protection, mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS), economic inclusion, gender-based violence, child protection, and provision of durable solutions.

With funding from the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (BPRM), this project, “Increasing Protection for Vulnerable Refugees and Host Communities in Nairobi”, will be implemented by HIAS Kenya over a one-year period. The project’s goal is to improve the safety and well-being of vulnerable refugees and host communities living in Nairobi through community-based protection and capacity building. The project aims to achieve the following outcomes:

1. Improved safety and well-being of survivors of GBV and vulnerable women and girls at risk of GBV through risk reduction and response services.


2. Strengthened safety of unaccompanied and separated children (UASC) and other children at risk by facilitating access to community-based safe living arrangements and appropriate support services.


3. Improve mental health and psychosocial wellbeing of vulnerable refugees through expanding the provision of integrated MHPSS interventions.

PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES OF THE EVALUATION

The evaluation will focus on assessing the process and implementation of the project in order to inform future program design. While this will include some discussion of project outcomes, the evaluation will focus primarily on understanding how project activities were implemented and adapted in the ongoing COVID-19 context in Kenya, as well as how these adapted activities contributed to enhancing protection among the project target population.

The purpose of the evaluation is three-fold, as detailed below:

1. Assess the implementation of the project activities in each of the three objectives, focusing especially on the relevance, quality, and sustainability of both planned activities and COVID-19 adaptations to these activities.


2. Document the end-of-project protection outlook for the target population through the collection of end-line data for a cross-cutting key performance indicator.


3. Identify and articulate lessons learned that can inform future similar activities, as well as inform the development of future programming and COVID-19 adaptations for upcoming project cycles.

The lessons learned and key recommendations derived from the evaluation will inform future project design and implementation. In particular, the evaluation will be shaped by the following specific study aspects:

• Project implementation process and practices, including how planned activities and services were adapted over the course of the project to respond to the changing COVID-19 context; project management processes and allocation of resources to the project; and skills-building and training for staff in order to deliver the intended activities.


• Relevance and alignment of both planned and adapted project activities to identified community needs in the changing COVID-19 context, including the process of adapting activity design, implementation, and service modalities(s); and whether and how the activities met the changing/changed needs of the target population.


• Accountability to stakeholders, including project acceptance at the community level, whether and how local communities and the intended target population were consulted, whether and how the project adapted to ensure inclusion of the target population in the changing COVID-19 context, and how the project is/was perceived by local organizations and actors.


• Overall effects of COVID-19 on achievement of the program goal and outcomes, including whether and how HIAS’ programmatic response cushioned COVID-19 shocks, supported coping strategies in intervention areas and affected absorptive, adaptive, and transformative resilience.


• To document the end-of-project value for the following cross-cutting key performance indicator, which measures the protection outlook for people served under each of the project objectives: “Percentage of beneficiaries who report an improved sense of safety and well-being at the end of the program, disaggregated by age and gender.”


• To assess the extent to which Age, Gender, and Diversity were mainstreamed; how gender equality, social inclusion, and equity issues have been considered during implementation.

SCOPE OF THE EVALUATION

The geographical scope of the study will be within Nairobi County. The design and implementation of the end-line will ensure ethical considerations are put in place, e.g., principles of gender equality, inclusion, and non-discrimination are considered and acted upon throughout, and that the meaningful participation of the most vulnerable groups and other key stakeholders is promoted in the design and implementation of the end-line.

METHODOLOGY OF THE STUDY

The consultant will develop a detailed evaluation methodology in consultation with the HIAS program and M&E team. The following methodologies will be utilized but should not be limited to.:

2. Qualitative data collection on implementation and process—interviews with key HIAS staff, partners, and people served who can speak to the focus areas we have identified above.


3. Survey data collection for the safety and well-being indicator.
