TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR MOBILE RESPONSE PROGRAM REVIEW
1 Organization background
The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) has been operational in South Sudan since 2005, working with the overall aim of achieving durable solutions for displaced populations affected by conflict and other natural and manmade crisis. DRC implements a multi-sector response to support Sudanese refugees, internally displaced persons (IDP) and host populations with projects and activities being tailored according to the needs and gaps in the local contexts. Its current programming components include: protection; camp coordination and camp management (CCCM); provision of emergency and transitional shelters within and outside of camp environments; distribution of non-food items (NFIs); food security and livelihoods (FSL); rapid response mechanism through the county wide mobile response and safety advisory support to the humanitarian community in different field locations.
2 Overview of the mobile response sector/ programmes
Areas facing new shocks require substantially different response interventions than those required in camp-like settings. These new shocks related to conflicts are very specific and the impacts they have on populations are not comparable with the effects of shocks triggered by natural disasters and are debilitating and directly linked to individual protection of persons of concern. In hard to reach areas across South Sudan, there are few humanitarian actors on the ground and access impediments related to safety and security of staff, logistics and administrative challenges ostensibly contribute to long preparatory periods before any assistance is delivered through an established/static operation. As such, since 2017 DRC has been operating protection-led multi-sector mobile assessment and response missions to fill critical gaps in information and service provision in remote areas, and to provide affected populations with lifesaving assistance. As conflict drivers and shock triggers continue to impact communities across South Sudan, rapid mobile assessment and response services addressing the growing protection and S/NFI needs remains critical. As such DRC is currently implementing countrywide multisector mobile response projects funded by multiple donors including OFDA, ECHO, SSHF, UNHCR and DANIDA.

The review further assesses whether the program has proper procedures and processes for program quality; Understand if the existing procedures and processes are actually operating, if they making a positive difference and how they are impacting on the program.
A detailed analysis of the Program should cover all review criteria specified in the ToRs. The following questions among others should be addressed under each criterion:

 What mechanisms and options are there to ensure the mobile response programme continues addressing humanitarian challenges in “hard to reach areas” regardless of the cessation of the projects?
 What are the possible factors that enhance or inhibit participation of communities (civilians) and civil society to ensure inclusiveness, to have voices heard and to take part in decision making on humanitarian protection needs, capacity to address the issues and advocacy?
 How did the programme influenced (affirmative and negative) the broader humanitarian actors and the relevant stakeholders to eradicate/minimise conflict related humanitarian protection risks?
 What methodologies exist to promote local coping strategies?
3.5 Impact
 Critically analyse the contribution of the mobile response to any observed impact (intended, unintended, positive, negative). What other factors and actors contributed to the project impact?
 What difference has the mobile response programme made to the targeted beneficiaries (direct and indirect)?
 What is the likelihood of continuing having the realized impact in the humanitarian protection spectrum in the short term and long term?
 To what extent were protection principles mainstreamed in the projects?

1. INTRODUCTION
   At the outset of 2019, South Sudan continues to experience unprecedented displacement and extremely high levels of humanitarian needs. According to the Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO) for 2019, over 4.5 million people have been displaced, including 2 million IDPs, and a staggering 7.2 million are in need of immediate assistance. Despite the signing of the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan (R-ARCSS) in September 2018, conflict and communal clashes continue to be the main drivers of displacement across the country, leading to frequent and sudden waves of displacement and increasing need as the crisis continues. The increased population in areas that are already underserviced and have many needs of their own, causes an exacerbation of the need already in place. For example, Greater Magwi in Eastern Equatoria has seen many returnees over the project period, as well as a protracted IDP situation from those fleeing conflict to a safe location where they can easily cross to relative security in Uganda refugee camps. In Nassir County, Upper Nile area, the communities face the constant threat of violent conflict through the ongoing crisis, as well as intermittent unpredictable community violence. The fluidity of the population movements and the consistent threat of inter-communal or national conflict breaking out makes these already hard to reach locations increasingly difficult to provide services.
   01.1 SSD Food Security and Livelihoods overview:
   Conflict-affected and displaced households are facing high food consumption gaps, asset depletion and acute malnutrition rates, and according to the 2019 HNO, of the 7.1 million currently in need of assistance, 6.1 million people are in need of emergency food security and livelihoods support. Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis for 2019 shows record numbers of people in Crisis, Emergency and Catastrophe conditions (IPC Phase 3, 4, and 5), and projects a steady increase in the number of severely food insecure households throughout 2019. According to findings from the IPC for January 2019, an anticipated earlier than normal start of the lean season will result in an estimated 6.87 million (60% of the total population) people in Crisis (IPC Phase 3) or worse acute food insecurity, with 50,000 projected to be in Catastrophe (IPC Phase 5) including in Unity State. Compared with the same period last year, the January 2019 levels of food insecurity reflect a 13% increase of the population facing Crisis (IPC Phase 3), acute food insecurity or worse during the post-harvest season.
   Page 2 // DRC ToR Consultant // 2019
   As a result of conflict, multiple conflict-driven rounds of displacement have emerged across the country exacerbating population’s food security and livelihoods needs, making conflict the key driver of food insecurity in SSD. Therefore, unfortunately, even though this has been the worst IPC predictions in recent times, this level of food insecurity is not new to South Sudan.
   Other key drivers of food insecurity in South Sudan are:
    Low crop production: there is an overall deficit in crop production due to:
    limited crop diversity,
    unavailability of quality seeds,
    inadequate knowledge on good agricultural practices including pest and disease management,
    limited knowledge and tools available on pre/post-harvest management techniques.
    recurrent weather shocks such as flooding and dry spells at critical stages of crop growth;
   National cereal production has never met the needs of the country. It is estimated that from the 2018 cropping season the country’s cereal harvests cover 52% of the national cereal needs, with the remaining 48% expected to be covered by cereal imports and humanitarian assistance;
    Economic crisis: disrupted markets and eroded household purchasing power even as food prices rise due to devaluation of the local currency as well as asset depletion due to food scarcity and lack of purchasing power, leaving the most vulnerable households more susceptible to shocks;
    Displacement: internal and external displacement disrupts people’s access to traditional livelihoods, reducing for example access to wild foods, fish and livestock products which compromises their resilience and self-reliance and takes away potential workforce. Currently there are:
    194,916 = IDP in PoC sites
    1.87= IDPs in SSD
    291,842 = refugees in SSD
    Access: there are multiple humanitarian access challenges which limits assistance in hard to reach areas.
   The disruption of agricultural production and traditional livelihoods due to conflict is the primary cause of food insecurity across South Sudan, and the convergence of multiple shocks has resulted in high levels of vulnerability and chronic poverty.
2. PROJECT RATIONALE: BACKGROUND OF AREA AND PROJECT
   02.1 Ajuong Thok/Jamjamg
   Since 2016 the government has put pressure on UNHCR to stop the refugee response in Yida, border town with Sudan. UNHCR being the biggest donor in the area and having a strong stance on the cutting of services in Yida under a contested “do-no-harm approach” has led humanitarian agencies to move most of their programming away, leaving only lifesaving interventions. The rest of the services and agencies have been moved mostly to Pamir, Ajoung Thok and Jamjang refugee camps.
   In Pamir, Ajoung Thok and Jamjang the relationship between host community and refugees seem to be more unbalanced.
    Buses of refugees arrive to Pamir and AT twice a week, ranging from 6,000 to 500 individuals/ month depending on the season. Main pull factors to SSD are said to be the lack of basic services such as health care in Sudan, the increase in school fees and bad harvests due to drought.
    The continual extension of the refugee camps of Pamir and AT will continue with the destruction of natural resources potentially creating more stress in the already depleted environment, which could lead to fighting.
    Weather in the area is extreme, with strong winds and a short rainy season. Which leads to people only being able to farm during rainy season leaving them vulnerable to droughts, pests and diseases. Therefore, there is a need to demonstrate and teach more climate smart agricultural technologies such as agroforestry and show more sustainable and innovative agricultural solutions that will allow people to farm year round, increase diversity and become more resilient to pests and diseases.
   Page 3 // DRC ToR Consultant // 2019
    Current agencies support activities such as crop production, cooking demonstration, kitchen gardening.
   From 2015 till 2018, the Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL) project in Ajuong Thok supported the establishment of seed multiplication and kitchen gardens, Natural Resources Management (NRM) programme (Energy Efficient Stoves training and production, tree protection (marking), tree nurseries, fruit tree Orchard and Agro-forestry plots (landscape restauration) and woodlots establishment) in Ajuong Thok and Pamir refugee camps, Jamjang and Yida host communities. Income Generating Activities-IGAs (blacksmiths, leather-craft, bee keeping and poultry keeping), Village Savings and Lending Associations (VSLAs) and vocational training in building construction (Masonry, Carpentry, Plumbing), furniture production, solar installation, Tailoring, and metal work (welding & fabrication), plus short courses in screen printing, signboard writing both for refugee and host communities were also implemented.
   02.2 Current DRC assets
   Ajoung Thok programming counts with excellent assets that can provide DRC with a space for multiple livelihood activities. DRC currently counts with: Tree nursery, wood lots and VTC centers in Pamir, Ajoung Thok, Wood lot and nursery in Yida. It is worth mentioning that DRC manages the only two VTC centres in Rwgeng state: Pamir and Ajoung Thok. During the year of 2018, the following was achieved:
    26,250 total planted 4,053 died = 85% average total,
    All woodlots were rain fed, manually weeded x3 times during the height of the rainy season and the species planted where neem trees and acacia (specie).

Consultancy to review Adult Literacy and Numeracy training in Oxfam projects in South Sudan

Purpose and Background

The purpose of literacy and numeracy review is to document and learn from Oxfam’s work on literacy and numeracy training (non-formal education) in South Sudan in order to provide practical recommendations for Oxfam in South Sudan’s ongoing and future literacy work in particular when integrated into responses improving livelihoods, protection and/or empowering women affected by conflict.

Background

Oxfam is working in South Sudan to deliver timely and effective humanitarian aid to help people affected by the conflict as well as addressing development challenges.

Oxfam has been working in South Sudan for over 30 years. The latest more than 5 years of conflict has caused destruction, death and displacement for millions of people. The conflict has disrupted education, livelihoods and increased dependency on humanitarian aid. South Sudan still has one of the highest rates of illiteracy in the world and especially high for girls and women.

As with many other protracted crises, it is increasingly necessary for humanitarian response to include programing aiming at increasing people and particularly women’s resilience, voice and dignified lives and not only work on life-saving needs. Literacy activities have a strong focus on the most vulnerable and on women often with no or very minimal education. Existing literature and evidence point at literacy as an enabler for poor people to develop more productive livelihoods, protection, and peace and take on increasingly active roles in transforming their families, and communities.

Among the findings for livelihood are:

• Many successful programmes are those that integrate literacy and numeracy as an enabler in livelihood programmes as they demonstrate an immediate reason for learning.

• Livelihood-plus-literacy/numeracy programs can substantially reinforce their chances of success if they can start from or at least incorporate training in savings, credit, and business management, along with actual access to credit.

• Chances of success are also heightened by working with established groups of people who share a common purpose (core interest), rather than with individual applicants. Time of training should be adapted to suits their schedule as adults with other responsibilities

• Some studies on South Sudan mention the importance of taking an area approach as the contexts vary significantly in terms of language and job possibilities etc.

Our Theory of Change is that if functional literacy for women and youth is implemented with livelihoods and protection activities then greater collective outcomes can be achieved

During the past 5 years Oxfam IBIS has supported different literacy and numeracy activities in South Sudan including literacy for food, stand-alone literacy training and activities linked to cash grants and skill development. In 2018, due to delayed start up, literacy was taught for a period of three months although ideally it should have been taught for six months. In 2019 2,000 people mainly women are planned to benefit from literacy and numeracy training.

Adult literacy and numeracy we define as the ability to apply the skills of reading, writing and written calculations to the requirements of daily life.

Relevance of the review

This review is relevant because literacy and numeracy training is seen to be as an enabler for strengthening especially women’s livelihoods, agency and protection. However, although literacy has been part of Oxfam programming only limited documentation exists on achievement and challenges. Furthermore and in line with the current situation in South Sudan and Oxfam aiming at embracing the nexus and strengthening the integration between programs the literacy review should contribute to the development of models and guidance on how it can be effective in facilitating sustainable livelihoods, dignified lives, gender justice and peacebuilding.

Intended audience and use

The main audience for the review is Oxfam South Sudan staff and partners, Oxfam IBIS, and the Oxfam confederation. The review is to be shared with the NGO community working in the country, the UN, the Government of South Sudan, donors and other relevant stakeholders.

The review findings will be used to inform ongoing programming and is part of learning and documentation of what we do.

Description of the assignment

Review objective

The purpose of the literacy and numeracy review is to inform Oxfam’s ongoing and future literacy and numeracy work. The focus should particularly be on how young and adult women can gain from functional literacy/numeracy programming.

The review must address the two objectives and specific questions below.

1. To understand and document outcomes and learnings from the implementation of literacy and numeracy in Oxfam South Sudan programming in 2017-2018,

2. To come up with observations, models and recommendations building on findings and other best practices on how literacy most effectively work as an enabler for women’s increased livelihoods, agency and protection.

Specific questions

How flexible and effective have we been in reaching out to those most in need? Do we need to do it differently? How relevant and efficient has Oxfam been in training of trainers and capacity building of facilitators, including mentoring and monitoring of facilitators?

How does the curriculum fit with the real life and expectations of the participants?

Did Oxfam establish/support a creative, safe and secure learning environment? How?

Which safeguarding and accountability measures were taken to ensure the above mentioned learning environment?

Did Oxfam through the literacy project link to or intent to link to skills development or other activities (e.g. livelihoods, IGA, WASH)

Did Oxfam support or intend to support groups of learners e.g. PTAs with literacy/numeracy courses

The review should build on the following modalities:

1. Teaching literacy and numeracy as a stand-alone activity

2. In 2018: 485 (414 female and 71 men) youth and adult women/men enrolled for the Functional adult literacy and numeracy program. These learners were taught basic reading, writing in English language, numeracy and business skills (Juba)

3. In 2019: 399 (40M, 359F) youth and adult women/men including people living with disabilities enrolled for the Functional adult literacy and numeracy program in Juba. More participants will be included later in Juba, in Pibor by partner SALT and others from the Oxfam FSL projects.

4. Literacy and numeracy training integrating or linking to livelihoods or other occupation specific training

   In 2018: Out of the above 485 people

   1. 89 (80 Female and 9 Male) youth and adult vulnerable women/men benefited from the small grant award to start individual small scale business to sustain their livelihoods (Juba)

   2. 50 youths and adult women/men supported through Resilience in South Sudan (HARRIS) Oxfam project also received literacy and numeracy training (Malakal)

   3. 61 ((51 female and 10 male) youth participating in the functional adult literacy and numeracy program were assessed and identified for skills development (waiting to start training) or supported to continue education (primary and secondary school, ALP training)

Methodology

The consultant is expected to conduct a mixed-method, conflict and gender-sensitive review including targeted populations in Juba and Malakal.

Furthermore, interviews should be carried out with staff members from Oxfam, international and national NGOs working with literacy, UN, local government representatives, community leaders, teachers/facilitators, and learners. The latter groups should be consulted through key informant and focus group discussions, combined with direct observation.

The review should also draw upon other learnings from reports, evaluations, studies and reviews inside and outside South Sudan with the aim of creating a full picture of options and models available that we can use.

A list of key documents is listed below:

• Oxfam IBIS rapid South Sudan literacy review analysis: Literacy

• Oxfam in South Sudan Monthly reports, PDM and other documents which document on literacy

• Selection criteria for literacy training

• Three monthly project development monitoring reports

• UNESCO: Functional Adult Literacy curriculum (incl. training manual and handbook)

Review Report

The review report is intended for internal and external use, to inform programming and Oxfam strategies, and should be written in a clear and concise language. The length should be approximately 10,000 word equal to 20 pages.

Report outline

• 1 page executive summery

• 1 pages Introduction to the review methodology

• 9 pages analysis including brief description of literacy training, achievements and challenges

• 7 pages with observations and recommendations to how we might use literacy

• 2 pages with recommendations on way forward (1 page) and how we might use literacy (1 page)

The review report will be produced on the agreed format and will be updated in line with comments/ feedback of project team and its stakeholders.

Job Title: Protection Programme Manager - GE - South Sudan

Code: SR-41-1072

Duty station: Yei, with different missions throughout Greater Equatoria and some periods in Juba

Starting date: ASAP

Contract duration: 3 months

Reporting to: Head of Mission

Supervision of: 8 staff

Dependents: n/a

General context of the project

Yei is consistently identified as a priority location for interventions due to ongoing conflicts between government and opposition forces, lack of access in surrounding rural areas and challenges facing static partners in responding to the growing number of IDPs. Constant and rapid displacement of populations from surrounding areas, high levels of violence towards civilians in the form of looting, gender-based violence (GBV) and actual conflict surges between factions exacerbate an already critical situation. The city of Yei is located in Yei County, Central Equatoria in southwestern South Sudan, close to the international borders with the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of Uganda.
The security situation in and around Yei Town is fluid, with increased tensions in proximal locations to Yei particularly in counties such as Lainya, Wonduruba, Katigiri, Otogo, Mugwo and Lujulo. The continued clash between government and opposition forces has seen advanced military offensives across the region, while civilians bear the brunt of the conflict. Restrictions issued by the armed elements has affected movement of villagers into town in search of economic opportunities and livelihoods. Between January and February 2019, the conflict between the armed groups escalated and spread along the Yei-Maridi road and towards Morobo counties with reported displacements in Morsak, Ombasi, and Lujulo [1]
By mid-February, more than 9,500 IDPs had been registered by local authorities and community-based protection networks (CBPNs) in Yei Town with continuous reports of more arrivals. Lack of access to theareas surrounding Yei, due to insecurity, is a consistent barrier in the ability of partners to accurately track the movement of IDPs. Furthermore, increased armed clashes across Yei and surrounding areas have severely hampered the efforts of humanitarian partners. It is likely that the continued abuses by these armed actors will result in dwindled service provision in areas outside Yei, thus creating a pull factor for beneficiaries to move to Yei Town for services.
FGD’s and KII’s with IDPs on the ground revealed numerous protection violations:

● Prevalence of sexual violence, particularly against women and children during their movement to seek refuge;

● Reports of looting of civilian properties, including burning and destruction of houses;

● Physical violations and indiscriminate killing of civilians, as reported by interviewed IDPs;

● Arbitrary arrests and detentions, including abduction and recruitment of males into armed groups, including children;

● Cases of UASCs with little possibility for FTR due to lack of access;

● Prolonged conflicts and multiple displacements affecting the mental, physical and socio-economic wellbeing of IDPs;

● Reports that displaced persons outside of Yei town have been without food or access to services for lengthy periods of time;

Therefore the proposed intervention aims to provide rapid life-saving protection assistance to populations affected by the ongoing crisis in Yei, through:

● Quality GBV service provision by INTERSOS’ Rapid Response Mechanism to 3,070 individuals as direct beneficiaries.

● Ongoing support to and capacity building of static GBV partners and service providers benefiting indirectly 12,500 beneficiaries.
