Introduction

The Danish Refugee Council assists refugees and internally displaced persons across the globe: we provide emergency aid, fight for their rights, and strengthen their opportunity for a brighter future. We work in conflict-affected areas, along the displacment routes, and in the countries where refugees settle. In cooperation with local communities, we strive for responsible and sustainable solutions. We work toward successful integration and – whenever possible – for the fulfillment of the wish to return home.

The Danish Refugee Council was founded in Denmark in 1956, and has since grown to become an international humanitarian organization with more than 7,000 staff and 8,000 volunteers. Our vision is a dignified life for all displaced.

All of our efforts are based on our value compass: humanity, respect, independence and neutrality, participation, and honesty and transparency.

1. Overview
   The Syria Resilience Consortium (SRC) was established in 2016 by its six constituent INGO partners – CARE, DRC, Handicap International, IRC, NRC, and Mercy Corps - in recognition of a joint responsibility to address the appalling levels of needs, as well as rights violations, in conflict-ridden Syria.
   The consortium members share a vision of a future for Syria where conflict-affected women, men, girls and boys, including persons with disabilities and/or injuries, communities, and institutions have restored their livelihoods, benefit from inclusive economic rehabilitation processes, and have strong capacity to respond to shocks.
   The SRC is currently finalizing its first operational year and would like to invest in a study of lessons learnt related to both its governance and programming, and consequent recommendations.
   The SRC’s strategy states as added value of working through this consortium:
   1.Whole of Syria approach
   2.Holistic area-based approach
   3.Strong integration of gender, age, disability, and protection concerns
   4.Commitment to evidence-generation, learning, and advocacy
   5.Complementary capacities, reach, and technical expertise
   6.Joint engagement of partners in Syria
   7.Flexible selection of implementation areas and locally adapted intervention models
   8.Strong member agency engagement
   9.Value-for-money
   A detailed description of the added values can be found in annex 1.

2. Objective: The objective of this assignment is to document learning from the first operational year of the SRC, with a focus on the stated added value in the strategy, both from a programmatic and governance perspective. The consultant will develop recommendations for the SRC based on the lessons learnt.
   Internally, the study will help to understand the state of SRC’s current performance, in all transparency, including its strengths and weaknesses. It will help us to enhance performance and to equally understand which claimed added values have proven to be unrealistic.

Externally, the study will help build an evidence base of best practices and challenges working in this ambitious consortium, which is operating in one of the most challenging environments worldwide.
The recommendations will directly feed into:
•An annual learning event
•A governance review
•A strategy revision
•An evidence base on the SRC. This evidence base is meant to continue to grow during the life of the consortium and will –at some point- feed into an external comms piece.
•Donor- and internal reports and the newsletter
The study is an integral part of MEAL and complements the more quantitative methodologies as well as the Focus Group Discussions with SRC project participants.
The study will document best practices as well as challenges related to added value, and, in consultation with the Programme Coordination Unit, Member Representatives and Steering Committee, will translate these into concrete recommendations for enhanced performance.

1. Deliverables
   The assignment will result in the following deliverables:
   •A general, 12 page, “state of affairs” study detailing added value created and challenges encountered through the first operational year of the SRC’s existence. The study will look at all coordination bodies in the Consortium: Area Coordination; Member Representatives; Steering Committee; Programme Coordination Unit. The last page of the study will detail governance recommendations for discussion with the Steering Committee.
   •A programmatic assessment based on case studies:
   • 5 programmatic case studies (max. 3 pages each) that demonstrate a “best practice”. At least 3 of the best practices need to have resulted directly from working in a consortium. This could be related to tapping into each other’s expertise, joint piloting, harmonization of approaches, or coordination around geographies. (At least) the 2 remaining case studies should focus on resilience and GAD approaches.
   • 3 programmatic case studies demonstrating a challenge/obstacle/weakness. At least one of the case-studies needs to focus on a challenge resulting directly from working in a consortium.
   • Recommendations for expansion/multiplication of certain practices, and decrease/elimination of others.

2. Methodology
   Most of the study will be done by:
   • A desk study, reviewing minutes of meetings, proposals and reports
   • Interviews with SC, MemReps, PCU, Area Coordinators, Programme Managers, Task Forces, local partners
   • At least 5 (Skype/telephone) interviews with beneficiaries.
   • When deemed appropriate by the consultant, focus group discussions can also be organized.

3. Confidentiality
   Caution needs to be taken during data collection and sharing process. Sensitivity to personal information collected is extremely important and absolute confidentiality needs to be maintained.

4. Time frame

5. Inception phase: Interviews with key informants and development of detailed methodology, including questionnaires and work plan. Selection of case studies -- 7 days

6. Desk review -- 5 days

7. Interviews -- 10 days

8. Report writing -- 7 days

9. Presentation of findings and recommendations to SRC, partners and/or other key stakeholders for verification, discussions and clarifications on information collected, triangulation -- 5 days

    ANNEX 1 SRC’s Added Value – as per the SRC Strategy
    The consortium members come together in a spirit of collaboration, and with the aim to mitigate barriers towards a coordinated response that provides efficient resilience-building livelihoods support. The approach and collaboration set-up adopted by the consortium and described in this strategy, add value in the following ways:
    1.Whole of Syria approach –implementation through all access points and modalities ensures a wide geographic coverage and high outreach to Syrians in need, wherever they are located;
    2.Holistic area-based approach – implementation of an integrated package of goods and services tailored to specific geographic areas increases value-for-money, and – ultimately – impact;
    3.Strong integration of gender, age, disability, and protection concerns – building the intervention strategy on a thorough gender-age-disability-sensitive analysis of needs, vulnerabilities, barriers, risks as well as (individual and collective) resources increases the relevance of the intervention to marginalized populations that face additional barriers to access livelihoods as well as their protection from harm, and – in the long-term – contributes to the generation of more inclusive rehabilitation and reconstruction processes;
    4.Commitment to evidence-generation, learning, and advocacy – coordinated vulnerability and needs assessments, conflict, do-no-harm, and protection analysis, joint documentation of lessons learnt and best practices and sharing of the evidence generated within the consortium and with the wider response community leads to stronger advocacy, enhanced, more efficient programming, and greater impact;
    5.Complementary capacities, reach, and technical expertise – collaboration under the consortium increases value for money through economics of scale, improved quality of services, and increased impact. Building on existing examples of collaboration, the consortium provides a platform for exploration and utilization of field-level synergies, thereby increasing efficiency and impact. For instance, Handicap International provides technical expertise in the inclusion of older persons and people with disabilities. Other consortium members bring to the consortium strong experience and technical capacities in cash-based programming (in particular, NRC, IRC, Mercy Corps), vocational training (DRC, NRC), and value-chain and market-focused approaches (CARE, IRC, Mercy Corps). Other specific technical areas of expertise include promotion of housing, land, and property rights (NRC), Village Saving and Loan Associations (CARE), and awareness raising and community risk mapping related to Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) (Handicap International). Finally, all consortium members are committed to making available technical resources in Gender and Protection.
    6.Joint engagement of partners in Syria – by assessing key stakeholders and putting in place engagement plans, the consortium is prioritizing the recognition and support of Syrian capacity, ensuring that it is empowered and not undermined. In conducting joint capacity assessments and capacity building of local partners where relevant, using a combination of approaches to capacity building (training, coaching, mentoring etc.), adapted to the access of field/partner teams to training venues and/or technology, as well as the priorities of partners, the consortium uses resources efficiently, leverages existing capacity and contributes to a more effective, relevant program. This investment will strengthen Syrian capacity in the longer term, promoting sustainability.
    7.Flexible selection of implementation areas and locally adapted intervention models – by conducting area-specific assessments and monitoring, using ‘area types’ for analysis (besieged, full government controlled, full opposition controlled etc.), and rapid coordination on situation on the ground through the ‘area coordination’ mechanisms, the consortium is able to quickly re-program to different implementation areas as the situation on the ground or access change or shift implementation responsibilities and associated budgets between consortium members, depending on access and capacities;
    8.Strong member agency engagement – consortium members play a leading role in design, and implementation, in particular through the Steering Committee, Program Coordination Unit (PCU), member representatives and four designated Area Coordinators.
    9.Value-for-money – the consortium looks beyond cost-per-beneficiary and instead aims at providing the most relevant and effective response by joining of resources, enhanced collective understanding of the context, and design of a more efficient approach that better responds to the specific situations of different groups.

Save the Children International Mozambique

In partnership with Helen Keller International

Te**r**m**s of Reference (TOR) for a Baseline Study for the project**

Linking Agriculture and Nutrition

Manica and Tete provinces

1. Background

The project Linking Agriculture and Nutrition, financed by DFID, will be implemented in five districts in Manica (Tambara, Guro, Barue, Machaze, Macossa) by Save the Children (SC) and five districts in Tete Province (Tsangano, Changara, Mutarara, Moatize, Cahora Bassa) by Helen Keller International (HKI) over the period of 1 November 2017 and 31 March 2021.

The programme will adopt a comprehensive approach to improve the nutritional status of women of reproductive age including adolescent girls and children 0-59 months. The project will support marginalised households with a package of nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions in a total of 10 districts in Tete and Manica provinces, and reach the remainder of the districts in the Beira corridor with nutrition Social Behaviour Change Communication (SBCC) messaging through building on to existing nutrition-related mass media platforms. As gender inequity is a barrier to achieving optimal nutrition and health outcomes, gender transformation is integrated into all activities. The programme will reach a minimum of 703,377 beneficiaries through direct implementation of select target groups, and indirectly through the mass media platform.

The project will conduct the following activities:

1) Train Model Mothers to carry out nutrition and WASH SBCC with women and children in the 1000 day window (conception to a child’s 24^th month) using the MoH-approved IYCF materials. Topics will include exclusive breastfeeding, appropriate complementary feeding practices (including diet quality and diversity), household dietary diversity, handwashing with soap at critical occasions, and the use of latrines, among other key behaviours. Model mothers will hold weekly or bi-weekly group meetings with 10-15 caregivers to discuss IYCF practices, conduct cooking demonstrations, and discuss difficulties in adopting the practices and relevant solutions. They will also conduct household visits for one-to-one counselling.

2) Conduct nutrition-related events in communities for adolescents. HKI and SC will support communities (through youth associations, where they exist) to help coordinate events to mobilize adolescents. Events will use a mix of participatory theatre, role plays, exhibits (cooking demonstrations, nutrition/agriculture booths), and facilitated debates.

3) Organise quarterly community nutrition, WASH and agricultural fairs to build broader awareness of nutrition and nutrition-sensitive agricultural topics, using community theatre, role plays, song, dance, debates, nutrition booths and cooking demonstrations. Fairs will include demonstrations on how to store seeds and preserve foods.

4) Reinforce nutrition and agriculture messages via established mass media platforms. During the initiation phase, the partners will map the various platforms that currently exist to see how the information generated from the LAN activities could be integrated into the existing programs targeted at the Beira corridor to maximize efficiency and effectiveness.

5) Support families of children under five with homestead food production of nutritious crops including the establishment of Farmer Field Schools and demonstration plots in communities, linking these with nutrition beneficiary households. The main purpose will be to introduce the practice of cultivating a variety of micronutrient-rich crops for diet diversification and use of climate-smart agricultural techniques. Crop preservation and storage will also be targeted to better guarantee year-round food and nutrition security.

6) Enhance small livestock production methods through studying existing small animal production methods (especially chickens) currently employed by households and introduce changes to increase production and consumption. Capacity-building will be given to improve husbandry practices, e.g. appropriate housing facilities to protect against predation and weather, improved feeding practices, links to veterinary services (particularly to prevent Newcastle disease and other diseases), and decision-making issues such as sale of chickens and eggs.

7) Develop seasonal food and nutrition security calendars, which will be used as a basis for developing community and household plans for ensuring the year-round availability of nutritious foods. The seasonal calendars will be used to plan how households - between food production, wild food gathering, food and seed storage, food preservation, small animal production, VSLAs, and income generating activities – they can cultivate, locate, store, sell and purchase the foods they need to ensure healthy year-round diets.

8) Establish Village Savings & Loans Associations to help beneficiaries to help reduce financial shocks in their households while increasing options to improve their food and nutritional security. The loans can be used for any purpose, but are particularly useful in case of a shock (e.g. disaster, a death, securing emergency transportation in the case of illnesses), for investing in income generating activities including producing agricultural products for local markets, and for bridging the food and nutrition security gap during the hungry season.

9) Linking to the private sector through engaging with the GAIN-led SUN Business Network, sharing lessons learned and developing ideas and solutions to best increase the availability of, and demand for healthy and diverse foods.

10) Engage beneficiary couples in gender transformative dialogues through the implementation of Dialogue Clubs (Clubes de Diálogo) in the target communities, with an aim to increase gender equity and enhance women’s status and decision-making power. The project will partner with Rede HOPEM to train all levels of project staff in gender transformation, as well as to train district nutrition and agriculture staff as facilitators of the discussion groups.

11) Establish Male Champions and Champion Couples, who will be identified as early adaptors to change and willing to volunteer their time. The Champions will be expected to counsel other men and couples on healthy nutrition or more equitable gender practices at least twice a month through participating in nutrition and agriculture group meetings, nutrition and agricultural fairs, or other social gatherings.

1. Objective of the Baseline

The key objective of the baseline study is to assess current behaviors and practices at household and community level for comparison against endline data in order to measure progress of behavior change and impact of program objectives and interventions. The baseline will collect household-level information on the current state of nutrition in the target communities; year-round food availability, accessibility and storage (food and nutritional security); water and sanitation situation; agricultural production and livestock information in general; the participation in any informal or formal group savings and loans initiatives; the status of adolescents aged 10-19 years (educational status, domestic status, responsibilities, involvement in community-based events), as well as information on their nutrition practices, knowledge, and beliefs. The survey will include a Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) module to collect information on topics such as: gender perceptions on the role and status of women and men particularly related to chores and decision-making; taboos and customs around food consumption; food preferences; water and sanitation practices; general knowledge about nutrition and young child development; general knowledge and care-seeking behaviors related to pregnancy, breastfeeding, and young child illnesses.

This study will provide a baseline against which the project outcomes (and potentially impacts) can be monitored over the project life. It will also enable SC and HKI to ensure greater learning within the wider field of nutrition, agriculture, and gender. Finally, it will provide useful information to inform the design of the project. The project implementation processes and the lessons learned from this work will be documented over the course of the project and used to develop recommendations for SC, HKI, government actors, the private sector, and other NGOs and CBOs implementing similar initiatives.

This TOR is for an experienced consultant or research team to conduct all aspects of the baseline, including:

1. The development of the protocol and data collection instruments, including developing the study design;

2. The submission of the protocol and instruments to the Mozambican Bioethics Committee;[1]

3. The implementation of all data collection in the field (using a mobile data platform)

Humanitarian situation and needs:

Since 1967, occupation and political stagnation have directly affected the socio-economic situation of the Palestinian population in the West Bank. The movement restrictions policy is severely limiting Palestinians’ access to essential services and markets, and leading to serious and negative impact upon all aspects of their lives, and mainly their livelihoods. The Oslo agreement in 1993 created some hope to bring peace to the region but it quickly showed impossible to achieve for a number of reasons. In 2000, following a visit of Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, on Aram al Sharif, the second Intifada started putting the Palestinian population under heavy pressure. In 2006, following elections won by Hamas but not accepted by the international community and Fatah, Hamas and Fatah clashed in the West Bank and Gaza which resulted in a substantial division of the Palestinian society. A civil war occurred in Gaza for a few days following which Fatah leader in Gaza had to escape the strip. Hamas took over the Gaza strip becoming the de facto authority in charge of that part of Palestine while the PA controls the West Bank.

Since then, three wars between Hamas and Israel occurred (2008-9, 2012 and 2014), the latest – Protective Edge Operation – being the most devastating one with about 2,500 persons killed on the Palestinian side (while about 70 persons were killed on the Israeli side) and more than 18,500 houses destroyed in the Gaza strip generating 100,000 IDPs. As of today, reconstruction hardly started due to political issues mainly including disagreement between PA and Hamas over the reconstruction.

The main features of the Israeli occupation remain in place since 2000 and consequently the humanitarian needs in the oPt have not fundamentally changed for the last decade. Israel continues to impose a blockade on Gaza, amounting to collective punishment of the population and affecting every aspect of life in the Gaza Strip. Livelihoods remained severely constrained by policies that restricted access to the areas with the most viable agricultural and fishing prospects. Access restriction, blockade and the internal divisions result in a limited access to essential services and entrenched levels of food insecurity faced by many Gazans in their day-to-day lives. On the other hand, the WB faces development issues (some people peak about “de-development”) and an increased pressure on the communities in Area C of the West Bank – rise in demolitions, settlers’ violence, no easing on movement restrictions and no progress on the planning and zoning regime. Bedouin and herder communities in particular are affected. East-Jerusalem is also deeply affected by demolitions and restrictions of movement.

Our action in the field:

Since 2015, PUI’s strategy focuses on providing support to populations affected by the coercive environment and subsequent violations of IHL/HR in both the West Bank (WB) and the Gaza Strip (GS). It combined several sectors to prevent the loss of livelihoods and displacements of population as a consequence of protection threats, lack of services (Health, Education, WASH), and lack of access to agricultural lands or job opportunities.

In the Northern West Bank, PUI operates in 3 districts (Qalqiliya, Salfit, and Nablus) with programming in protection, livelihoods and women economic empowerment. In the Gaza Strip, PUI operates in 3 districts (Middle Area, Khan Younis, Rafah, Middle Area & Gaza), including a big part in the ARA Rafah) with programming in emergency response/NFI, protection, WASH, shelter, rural development, access to land and livelihoods, agriculture and heritage protection.

PUI is leading on several issues including settler violence (WB) and the Access restricted Area (ARA) in the GS.

Consultancy Title: Project Officer, Forecasting and Planning

Location: UNICEF Supply Division; Copenhagen, Denmark

Duration: 11.5 months full-time

Start Date: 22 January 2018

Reporting to: Supply Chain Manager, MSDEU, UNICEF Supply Division, Copenhagen

BACKGROUND:

In 2016, UNICEF Supply Division (SD) procured over $3.5 billion worth of supplies and services from all over the world. Two of SD’s primary focus areas are to ensure the global availability of essential supplies such as vaccines, medicines and health products through influencing markets; and to implement a range of supply chain models to ensure these supplies are delivered to children. SD has an important role in coordinating procurement and supply of essential commodities for UNICEF and work in a complex ecosystem of governments, donors, partners, suppliers, and our own country offices. As in any complex supply chain, the links are highly interdependent, and aligning supply with demand is inherently complex.

In order to get insight into the future needs and be able to fulfill these needs in a timely, efficient, and cost-effective manner, SD has set up a number of different product category-specific demand forecasting and planning processes that play a critical role in ensuring that supplies are available to children. Given the criticality of these processes, SD has decided to put in place a series of measures to ensure effectiveness and efficiency, to optimize its processes, and to mitigate risks.

One of the roles of the Monitoring, Strategic Data and Evidence Unit (MSDEU) in SD in relation to these product category-specific demand forecasting and planning processes is to further define the improvement measures and implement them, in addition to coordinating the different forecasting and planning processes already in place. This will require working closely with procurement centres in SD and it may also require coordination with UNICEF’s Regional and Country Offices.

OBJECTIVE:

The purpose of the consultancy is to support UNICEF SD in the coordination and implementation of measures to improve SD’s demand forecasting and planning. Under the supervision of the Supply Chain Manager in MSDEU, the position will perform the mapping of current forecasting and planning processes, coordinate the work on the improvement measures identified, keeping track of decisions and progress, and help refine and implement measures as relevant. The position will maintain up-to-date documentation on all tasks and outputs, and will also provide coordination and communication support around activities linked to the Steering Group and other stakeholders.

Terms of Reference

Editing of Report Card 15Office of Research – InnocentiSocial and Economic Policy 1 April 2018 - 1 August 2018

Background

In keeping with UNICEF's global mandate to advocate for the rights of all the world’s children, the longstanding Innocenti Report Card series focuses on the well-being of children in industrialized countries. Designed to appeal to a wide audience while maintaining academic rigour, Innocenti Report Cards include one or more league tables ranking the countries in the European Union (EU) and/or the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) according to their record on the subject studied.

UNICEF Office of Research – Innocenti has produced fourteen editions of the report since 2000. The proposed Innocenti Report Card 15 (RC15) will focus on equality of educational opportunities for children. RC15 will focus on:

(1) The cross-country variation in the extent of equal educational opportunities in high income countries;(2) A more deliberate and extensive analysis of learning beyond cognitive achievement;(3) Metrics quantifying the contribution of socioeconomics, gender, residence/migration status to unequal opportunities (beyond simple correlations); and(4) The role that specific policies and investments in education have on unequal educational opportunities.

In so doing, RC15 will address two overarching research objectives strongly linked to policy analysis and advocacy:RO1-Diagnostics assesses the current state of equal educational opportunities across high income/rich/industrialized countries; andRO2-Policy Analysis discusses the role of public spending and educational specific policies in mitigating unequal educational opportunities in those countries.

The Report Card team within the Social and Economic Policy (SEP) section both carries out the data analysis and drafts the main text of RC15, including all tables and figures. An expert editor is now required to work on the text as delivered by the drafting team, to improve the flow and sharpen the messages.

Scope of Work/Objectives

The editor will work on the final text (appx. 12,000 words) written by non - native English speakers. The text should be edited to produce fluid, natural and stylish English. The challenges are as follows: to understand the data as presented; to follow the story of unequal opportunities in education presented by the writer; to eliminate grammatical and syntactical errors that arise from the language difference; to ensure clarity within sentences and throughout the text, avoiding any possibility of misinterpretation; without losing the writers’ energy and passion in making the case for children, to tweak the style into a more elegant but high-level journalistic English form, while avoiding prosaic institution-speak.

The key messages and points should be evident throughout and be made and highlighted with subtle force; statements made should be unambiguous and fully reinforced by the data presented. However, attention should also be paid to UNICEF style and potential policy sensitivities.

Specific activities to be completed to achieve the objective

To edit the Report Card 15 text provided by the Office of Research by the writer of to a high standard of fluent and compelling English. The editor will use the tracked changes and comment feature in MS Word to perform her/his tasks.

He or she will:Edit the text to ensure consistency of logic and flow, ensure readability and accessibility of concepts;Check the consistency, purpose and logic of any boxes and tables vs. text, ensuring abbreviations/acronyms, titles, graphs, and tables (including their notes and sources), are accurate vis-à-vis the text. •Where necessary, sharpen the clarity of the text, maintaining the focus on the specific aims of the briefs •Eliminate repetition and flag any potential sensitivities (e.g. political / gender).

The editing will include all elements such as the acknowledgements, boxes, data sources panel, notes, references, front and back matter. The editor’s task for these elements is to ensure that they are present and in correct English, but he/she is not expected to copy edit any text. This will be carried out by a specialist on a separate contract.
