ARE YOU AN INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT? IF YES, HERE IS AN EXCITING OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU.

NRC IS LOOKING FOR AN INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT TO CARRY OUT PROGRAMME PARTICIPATORY EVALUATION IN SOMALIA UNDER THE BRCiS CONSORTIUM.

BRCiS is a humanitarian Consortium that takes a holistic approach to supporting Somali communities in developing their capacity to resist and absorb minor shocks without undermining their ability to move out of poverty. The Consortium consists of five international NGOs with extensive experience in Somalia – Cooperazione e Sviluppo (CESVI), Concern Worldwide (CWW), the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), the International Rescue Committee (IRC), and Save the Children International (SCI).
The programme received funding from the Government of the United Kingdom to target directly 30,100 households (around 210,700 individuals) for four years. The four years of its first phase is ending in December 2017. As part of the learning and reflection, the programme is looking for a consultant to conduct an independent and participatory end line evaluation for the programme in the September to December period. The primary purpose of this evaluation is to provide the BRCiS Consortium and the communities concerned by the projectx33333wz with valuable lessons learned to improve programme implementation as well as future resilience and livelihoods programming in Somalia.

The programme evaluation will focus on assessing/evaluating the impact of the programme, while – based on the findings of the above – generate a section of key lessons learned and best practices that make realistic and feasible recommendations for improving resilience programing in the Somali context. This will further look into ways of strengthening local disaster preparedness response capacity and overall community resilience to minor shocks and stresses for the BRCiS Consortium. The end line evaluation should provide an answer to whether or not the programme contributed to improving the communities’ capacity to manage change by maintaining or transforming living standards in the face of shocks or stresses without compromising their long-term prospects.
