Since Mid-2015 the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation is supporting the Catholic Caritas network in the implementation of a rural development project called

“Averting imminent and future famines in South Sudan by supporting semi-commercial food production in the Green Belt". The project has a duration of 24 months and is supporting smallholder farmers in Maridi, Mundri and Yei River State.

The mid-term evaluation is intended to provide an assessment of the first 11 months of the project and will take place between 11 and 28 July 2016. That is after the implementing partners have submitted their intermediary reports to Caritas, but before Caritas sends the consolidated report to the donor. The report of the evaluation will be annexed to this consolidated intermediary report in order to allow the donor to get an external point of view on the project’s progress.

The evaluation will assess the extent to which the activities were implemented as planned, the quality of the implementation and the extent to which the project is achieving its intended objectives. On the basis of his/her observations, the evaluator will identify any changes in activities needed in the second year in order to successfully achieve the project’s final objectives as defined by the logframe. While not a final evaluation, it will use a similar approach to the final evaluation scheduled at the end of the project.

The evaluator will review:

1. The programme logic, beneficiary ownership/involvement and gender/youth balance.

2. The extent to which the activities were implemented as planned and the quality of the implementation.

3. The adequacy of the project’s indicators, the means of verification to measure them and the quality of the data collection (including a review of data collection tools for monitoring crop production and income indicators).

4. The extent to which objectives have been achieved to date and are expected to be achieved by the end of the project.

5. The relevance and potential sustainability of the programme.

Profile:

Minimum Bachelor’s Degree in Agriculture with at least 10 years of relevant experience in an NGO (of which 5 years in an M&E position). Extensive experience in working with subsistence farmers (with very limited access to modern technologies) is essential. Speaking Zande, Moro, Arabic, Lugbara, Madi or Kakwa is an asset.

The program will be as follows:

11-14 July: field visits to the different project sites in Yei State

15-18 July: sharing of findings with the Diocesenal Caritas team and recommendations for the second year of the project

19 July: flight from Yei to Yambio

20-23 July: field visits to the different project sites in Maridi State

25-28 July: sharing of findings with the Diocesenal Caritas team and recommendations for the second year of the project

Terms of payment:

130 USD per working day (16 mission days and 3 reporting days) – all taxes are at the charge of the consultant

Per diem, accomodation and flight tickets are provided by Caritas

Interested candidates should send their application letter, CV and the contacts of 3 referees to w.tanghe@caritasint.be or ward.caritas@gmail.com latest 6 May 2016.

General Description of the Programme:

GOAL has been working in Sudan since 1985. Initially GOAL’s activities in southern Sudan took the form of short term emergency interventions, but 1998, with the opening of a permanent base in Twic County, Warrap State, saw a move to longer term interventions. GOAL South Sudan currently operates programmes in Warrap State, Upper Nile State, and the Abyei Administrative Area.

GOAL South Sudan’s interventions have expanded in recent years to include a more integrated Primary Health Care approach, including, curative primary health care, based on the management of primary health clinics; preventative health care including HIV/AIDS messaging, malaria control and hygiene promotion; nutrition and food security, water and sanitation engineering and clinic construction/rehabilitation.

In response to the on-going humanitarian crisis in South Sudan GOAL has set up an emergency response programme in Upper Nile State.

Current nutrition programming is part of a wider multi-sectoral package of activities with two arms; relief operations focused on the direct implementation of CMAM as an integrated component of public health services, including SC, OTP, TSFP & IYCF and early developmental approach, focused on capacity building of CMAM for SAM, including SC, OTP, IYCF & community focused treatment and prevention of mild/moderate MN using GOALs NIPP (Nutrition Impact and Positive Practice) approach.

Verify that any new nutrition activities look to support priority needs, that they are likely to achieve the outcomes set out, and also have viable exit-strategies that have been given due consideration and are well documented.
• Work with the MEAL team to ensure adequate monitoring and evaluation systems are in place for all nutrition programming to assess the quality and outcomes/impact of interventions, through surveys/ assessments and longitudinal program monitoring. Review and verify all relevant M&E data generated and provide pertinent feedback to the Senior Public Health Coordinator, providing timely updates on both the operational environment and the achievements/failures of individual project activities.
