Project: Mitigating violence, increasing the safety and security of civilians, and strengthening the resilience of populations affected by conflict and environmental shocks

External Consultant: Final End-line Project Evaluation – Statement of Work

1. BACKGROUND

Nonviolent Peaceforce (NP), an International NGO founded in 2002, recruits, trains and deploys unarmed civilians to reduce violence and protect vulnerable populations in conflict-affected areas. Unarmed civilian protection (UCP) is NP’s global core methodology. UCP refers to the engagement of unarmed civilians working to reduce the cycle of violence and increase the safety and security of civilians impacted by violent conflict. UCP prioritized direct physical protection against immediate threats of violence, even as we work to interrupt systemic violence. The success of UCP methodology is based on relationship building, acceptance, and trust by the community that utilizes a mix of strategies to prevent violence, enhance the safety and security of civilians, build and strengthen local peace infrastructure, and create an enabling environment for communities to devise and implement locally led peace and protection strategies. UCP is guided by principles of nonviolence, non-partisanship, primacy of local actors, and civilian-to-civilian action.

NP has been operating in South Sudan since 2010 with 11 static field operational sites in six states and one administrative area. These include Upper Nile, Jonglei, Greater Pibor Administrative Area, Central Equatoria, Western Equatoria, Unity State, and Warrap State. NP’s programming in South Sudan includes peace-building, social cohesion, protection, gender-based violence prevention and response, child protection, youth engagement, and reconciliation with a particular emphasis on the prevention of violence.

In line with this and with funding from the USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Affairs (BHA), NP South Sudan has been implementing a two-year project since July 2022, titled “Mitigating violence, increasing the safety and security of civilians and strengthening the resilience of populations affected by conflict and environmental shocks”. This is being implemented in Yei County in Central Equatoria State, Rubkona County in Unity State, Lankien in Nyirol County, Jonglei State, Pibor County in Greater Pibor Administrative Area, Tonj South County in Warrap State, Ganyliel Payam in Panyjiar County, Unity State as well as Leer County in Unity State. The project's overall goal is to mitigate violence, increase the safety and security of civilians, and strengthen the resilience of populations affected by conflict and environmental shocks in South Sudan.

To achieve this goal, NP directly implements the project activities utilizing a participatory model that seeks to further build on local protection capacities, social cohesion, and resilience as well as prevent and respond to pertinent protection concerns of conflict-affected communities in South Sudan. All project activities are designed to best respond to the immediate security needs of beneficiaries and support the resilience, adaptive capacity, and recovery of communities from violent conflict, insecurity, and environment shocks.

Project: Mitigating violence, increasing the safety and security of civilians, and strengthening the resilience of populations affected by conflict and environmental shocks

External Consultant: Final End-line Project Evaluation – Statement of Work

1. BACKGROUND

Nonviolent Peaceforce (NP), an International NGO founded in 2002, recruits, trains and deploys unarmed civilians to reduce violence and protect vulnerable populations in conflict-affected areas. Unarmed civilian protection (UCP) is NP’s global core methodology. UCP refers to the engagement of unarmed civilians working to reduce the cycle of violence and increase the safety and security of civilians impacted by violent conflict. UCP prioritized direct physical protection against immediate threats of violence, even as we work to interrupt systemic violence. The success of UCP methodology is based on relationship building, acceptance, and trust by the community that utilizes a mix of strategies to prevent violence, enhance the safety and security of civilians, build and strengthen local peace infrastructure, and create an enabling environment for communities to devise and implement locally led peace and protection strategies. UCP is guided by principles of nonviolence, non-partisanship, primacy of local actors, and civilian-to-civilian action.

NP has been operating in South Sudan since 2010 with 11 static field operational sites in six states and one administrative area. These include Upper Nile, Jonglei, Greater Pibor Administrative Area, Central Equatoria, Western Equatoria, Unity State, and Warrap State. NP’s programming in South Sudan includes peace-building, social cohesion, protection, gender-based violence prevention and response, child protection, youth engagement, and reconciliation with a particular emphasis on the prevention of violence.

In line with this and with funding from the USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Affairs (BHA), NP South Sudan has been implementing a two-year project since July 2022, titled “Mitigating violence, increasing the safety and security of civilians and strengthening the resilience of populations affected by conflict and environmental shocks”. This is being implemented in Yei County in Central Equatoria State, Rubkona County in Unity State, Lankien in Nyirol County, Jonglei State, Pibor County in Greater Pibor Administrative Area, Tonj South County in Warrap State, Ganyliel Payam in Panyjiar County, Unity State as well as Leer County in Unity State. The project's overall goal is to mitigate violence, increase the safety and security of civilians, and strengthen the resilience of populations affected by conflict and environmental shocks in South Sudan.

To achieve this goal, NP directly implements the project activities utilizing a participatory model that seeks to further build on local protection capacities, social cohesion, and resilience as well as prevent and respond to pertinent protection concerns of conflict-affected communities in South Sudan. All project activities are designed to best respond to the immediate security needs of beneficiaries and support the resilience, adaptive capacity, and recovery of communities from violent conflict, insecurity, and environment shocks. The project’s three programming components are centred upon:

1. Child protection
2. GBV prevention and response
3. Protection coordination, advocacy, and information.

2. PURPOSE OF THE ENDLINE EVALUATION.

As part of the monitoring and evaluation function in ensuring effective oversight of the project within the project management cycle, the purpose of this end-line evaluation is to assess the overall performance of the project against the planned project objectives, and key performance indicators as well as assess the impact of the overall project to the intended beneficiaries. The scope of the end-line evaluation will cover the entire project period of 1 August 2022 to 31 July 2024. It will specifically assess and inform project stakeholders i.e donors, project managers/staff, relevant government departments and the targeted community at large about the project achievements, challenges, and lessons learned as well as provide recommendations to inform future programming.

Project: Mitigating violence, increasing the safety and security of civilians, and strengthening the resilience of populations affected by conflict and environmental shocks

External Consultant: Final End-line Project Evaluation – Statement of Work

1. BACKGROUND

Nonviolent Peaceforce (NP), an International NGO founded in 2002, recruits, trains and deploys unarmed civilians to reduce violence and protect vulnerable populations in conflict-affected areas. Unarmed civilian protection (UCP) is NP’s global core methodology. UCP refers to the engagement of unarmed civilians working to reduce the cycle of violence and increase the safety and security of civilians impacted by violent conflict. UCP prioritized direct physical protection against immediate threats of violence, even as we work to interrupt systemic violence. The success of UCP methodology is based on relationship building, acceptance, and trust by the community that utilizes a mix of strategies to prevent violence, enhance the safety and security of civilians, build and strengthen local peace infrastructure, and create an enabling environment for communities to devise and implement locally led peace and protection strategies. UCP is guided by principles of nonviolence, non-partisanship, primacy of local actors, and civilian-to-civilian action.

NP has been operating in South Sudan since 2010 with 11 static field operational sites in six states and one administrative area. These include Upper Nile, Jonglei, Greater Pibor Administrative Area, Central Equatoria, Western Equatoria, Unity State, and Warrap State. NP’s programming in South Sudan includes peace-building, social cohesion, protection, gender-based violence prevention and response, child protection, youth engagement, and reconciliation with a particular emphasis on the prevention of violence.

In line with this and with funding from the USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Affairs (BHA), NP South Sudan has been implementing a two-year project since July 2022, titled “Mitigating violence, increasing the safety and security of civilians and strengthening the resilience of populations affected by conflict and environmental shocks”. This is being implemented in Yei County in Central Equatoria State, Rubkona County in Unity State, Lankien in Nyirol County, Jonglei State, Pibor County in Greater Pibor Administrative Area, Tonj South County in Warrap State, Ganyliel Payam in Panyjiar County, Unity State as well as Leer County in Unity State. The project's overall goal is to mitigate violence, increase the safety and security of civilians, and strengthen the resilience of populations affected by conflict and environmental shocks in South Sudan.

To achieve this goal, NP directly implements the project activities utilizing a participatory model that seeks to further build on local protection capacities, social cohesion, and resilience as well as prevent and respond to pertinent protection concerns of conflict-affected communities in South Sudan. All project activities are designed to best respond to the immediate security needs of beneficiaries and support the resilience, adaptive capacity, and recovery of communities from violent conflict, insecurity, and environment shocks. The project’s three programming components are centred upon:

1. Child protection
2. GBV prevention and response
3. Protection coordination, advocacy, and information.

2. PURPOSE OF THE ENDLINE EVALUATION.
