1.0Trócaire’s Background

Trócaire[1] is an Irish development agency that was established in 1973 by the Catholic Bishops of Ireland. Trócaire works in over 20 countries in partnership with local civil society organizations implementing both long-term development and emergency response programmes. Trócaire has been working in Kenya for over 30 years and established its Nairobi office in 1994. Working with over 25 local partner organisations, Trócaire in Kenya aims to contribute to the development of a “just and peaceful Kenya in which poor women, youth and other vulnerable groups realise their rights and improve their quality of life in dignity and safety”. Trócaire seeks to achieve this goal by implementing programmes in three thematic areas: Accountable Governance, Resilient Livelihoods and Women’s Empowerment.

2.0UKAID Match Programme Overview

Since October 2016, Trócaire has been implementing a DFID funded resilience-building project named Community Resilience and Climate Change Adaptation Program; herein referred to as UKAid Match (UKAM) in drought affected areas of Tharaka Nithi, Ishiara and Kitui. The project whose period is October 1, 2016 – September 30, 2019 was aimed at strengthening the capacities of 12,000 vulnerable households; 7800 female headed households (FHH) and 4200 male headed households (MHH) in the drought-affected semi-arid areas of 3 counties (Meru, Kitui and Embu) to be more resilient to shocks and stresses they face as a result of climate change.

Trócaire has been the main recipient of the funding and sub granted the following implementing partners:

Name of the Partner OrganisationLocation Geographical Scope**

Caritas Kitui Kitui,Kitui County Mwingi Sub-county

Caritas Meru Chuka, Tharaka Nithi County Tharaka Nithi County

Order of St. Augustine Ishiara Parish Embu County Evurore ward

Pan-African Climate Justice Alliance (PACJA) Nairobi County National wide

2.1Project Context

This project specifically targets the most marginalised communities of the semi-arid lands of Kitui (Ngomeni and Nguni Wards), Tharaka-Nithi (Igamba-ng’ombe and Gatunga Wards) and Embu Counties (Evurore Ward). These areas, all of which are extremely poor, are in danger of becoming arid due to irregular climate patterns and unsustainable resource use. The high county poverty rates of 63.5% (Kitui County), 48.7% (Tharaka-Nithi County) and 42.0% (Embu County) mask even higher pockets of extreme poverty and inequality caused by displacement and migration, intensified environmental degradation and increasing competition over natural. Over the past decade droughts have become more severe and frequent, having a negative effect on all rural households (HHs). Among the Semi-arid Marginal Mixed Farming areas, the short rains start later and the long rains have become more unreliable, causing low harvests and food insecurity. By the end of 2014, 40% of Marginal Mixed Farmers (MMF) in project counties were either severely or moderately food insecure and families faced a 3-month hunger gap each year. As a result, HHs resorted to an additional 3 negative coping strategies in 2014. Coping strategies, such as missing meals or charcoal making only deepen poverty and undermine health. HH dependence on biomass (hard wood) for fuel also undermines the sustainable management of the forests and tree cover.

2.2Project impact

The project’s intended impact is that - 12000 vulnerable households in three drought-affected semi-arid Counties in Eastern Kenya are more resilient to the impact of shocks and stresses related to climate change. This is aimed at contributing to the reduction of poverty and vulnerability for drought-affected households living in three semi-arid counties in Eastern Kenya: Kitui, Embu and Tharaka Nithi. The project aimed to achieve this impact by supporting vulnerable rural households to become more resilient to drought and other climatic shocks.

The approaches set to achieve this were:

a) Supporting target households to become both more economically secure and more food secure.

b) Supporting vulnerable communities to benefit from improved ecosystem services through the adoption and application of ecologically sound and climate sensitive natural resource management and agricultural production techniques, and

c) Supporting communities and local government actors to develop the capacities that they need to effectively plan for, adapt to, cope with, respond to and recover from climate-related shocks and stresses.

This multi-layered approach would support vulnerable households and their communities to become more prosperous and more resilient to shocks in a sustainable manner that is ecologically appropriate and adaptive to climate change. Ultimately, this project would contribute to a reduction in both poverty and chronic malnutrition within the target households and communities, and to an improvement in their well-being and productive capacity. The project was set to contribute to the achievement of the following Sustainable Development Goals:

• · SDG 1: End poverty in all its forms everywhere by reducing the number of people in target communities living below $1.25 per day
• · SDG 2: End hunger, achieve food security and improve nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture
• · SDG 13: Climate action
• · SDG 15: Life on land

3.0Purpose of the End line and Programme Evaluation

The main purpose of the End Line Study and Programme Evaluation is to measure the extent to which the intended impact of the project has been achieved. The evaluation will be both qualitative; looking at the changes observed in the lives if the target beneficiaries over the three consecutive years, and quantitative - collect outcome data collection alongside each intended outcome as per the logframe and in relation to the baseline data collected at the beginning of the project. The secondary aim of the evaluation is to gain insight into key elements of the implementation process, which either explain why reported changes occurred and shed light on how such changes were achieved. We expect that an assessment of impact and understanding of key processes will support the generation of programme recommendations that could be considered for the design of future programmes.

We intend to contract an independent consultant to carry out this work. It is expected that both Trócaire and partners will play a key role in designing and carrying out the evaluation such as confirming the suitability of tools, introducing the consultant to the communities and assisting the consultant in data collection, as well as commenting on the analysis of all findings.

3.1The Specific Objectives of the End Line Evaluation(ELE)

On the results framework, the ELE will:

4.0Proposed Methodology

The evaluation exercise will be consultative and participatory, entailing a combination of desk review, key informant interviews, face to face household surveys, and FGDs. While interviews are a key instrument, a range of data sources will be triangulated to ensure that the evaluation is sound and objective. A random sample of the required sample size will be extracted from a beneficiary database of 12,000 households targeted by the project. On the basis of the foregoing, the consultants will further elaborate on the method and approach in a manner commensurate with the assignment at hand and reflect this in the inception report, which will subsequently be approved by the programme team in consultation with key stakeholders. Each of the project indicators must be assessed hence the evaluation firm must ensure that the proposed methodology is responsive to this. The evaluation firm in their proposal will provide specific approaches/methodology to achieve the planned evaluation, including assessing the project indicators

The key inputs to the evaluation should be as follows:

• · Interviews with key staff such Directors, Project Managers, Project Coordinators, Project Officers, M&E Officers, community resource persons facilitators (CRPs), ToTs and others deemed necessary by the evaluation team.
• · Interviews with stakeholders including respective county government departments, other NGOs working in the various counties and community leaders

CALL FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST AMONG ARTISTS

Deadline for EOIs: 26 July 2019

Calling all artists who would like to contribute their boundless imagination, mindful aesthetics and activist spirit. Here is an opportunity to make a difference in South Sudan.

Nonviolent Peaceforce is looking for individuals or groups who love to visualise powerful messages about transformative futures. We would be happy to work with those who are committed to end gender-based violence (GBV) especially against women and girls in situations of conflict and displacement; advance positive masculinities among men and boys who can be allies towards gender equality; promote women’s substantive political participation; and support community-based protection mechanisms.

These powerful images and messages will appear in modest billboards/ sign posts on strategic public places, where there are significant foot traffic in Aburoc, Aweil, Bentiu Protection of Civilian Site (POC), Juba POC and Rumbek. At least five billboards/ sign posts will be installed in these places.

The challenge is to spark the imagination of people in an otherwise volatile and patriarchal context towards a future where there is just and sustainable peace; where women and girls are free from violence; and where men and boys become partners in advancing gender justice, women’s leadership and community protection.

However daunting the task may be, we need not look too far from inspiring stories among the communities NP has been working with. We have seen the formation of women protection teams; the appointment of grassroots women into formal leadership; strategies towards GBV prevention and response mechanisms; and efforts of young men in countering otherwise harmful practices.

Interested? Send us your expression of interest (EOI), along with a portfolio of works on or before 26 July 2019 to nsomera@nonviolentpeaceforce.org with a reference on the heading: "EOI-artworks"

Please read the creative brief before sending an EOI. The creative brief can be foundbelow:

The EOI must have the following pieces of information:

(1) Name/s of the proponent/s

(2) Contact details of the proponent/s

(3) Costing - ideally done per collateral/ work (use NP’s proposed costing guide, as explained in the Creative Brief)

(4) Links to at least three samples of previous work

(5) Resume of the proponent/s

This call is open to artists around the world. South Sudanese, both in the country and the diaspora are encouraged to submit their EOIs. Thank you.

CREATIVE BRIEF: ARTWORKS FOR BILLBOARDS IN SOUTH SUDAN

What: A collection of artworks - mostly illustration - that depicts transformative gender relations in a situation of conflict through girls who are able to maximise their full potentials towards achieving their dreams instead of being subjected to child marriage; men and boys who challenge patriarchy themselves, including gender roles; women and girls who are able to access protection from the community itself against all forms of gender based violence; and women and girls who are able to participate meaningfully in decision-making processes on peace-building.

Target audience: The public - Some of these are pedestrians and motorists who ply major dirt roads, which barely have traffic signages. These also include residents of Protection of Civilian (POC) sites, especially where there is a concentration of foot traffic such as water points, distribution centers and gates.

Key messages:

Gender justice is a prerequisite to just and sustainable peace. As such:

(1) Everyone, especially women and girls must be free from any form of gender-based violence (GBV) and have recourse to access to justice. Further, we advocate to an end to rape and other sexual abuses which are endured by women as they collect firewood, water and access other goods and services for their families and communities. Girls must also have the same opportunities as boys.They must be protected from further abuse particularly child marriage, that sometimes happens as a settlement for assets and even crimes such as rape.

(2) Men and boys can be allies in transforming attitudes, norms and behaviour by being conscious of their privilege and power, as manifested in the gender division of labour especially the concentration of unpaid care work on women and girls, GBV, decision-making processes beginning in the households, policies, practices and culture.

(3) Women have proven their leadership in protecting communities from the impacts of conflict. They must have conditions through which they can meaningfully participate in decision-making processes on peace-building.

What kind of artworks do we want?

We would like a series of artworks which are empowering. While these are informed by the horrible realities of rape, domestic violence, exploitation, child marriage, and patriarchy with ethnic divisions and armed conflict as a backdrop, we would like to the artworks to express a hope for just and sustainable peace, transformative gender relations, and inclusion and diversity.

We would like the artworks to convey the key messages with clarity, groundedness and sophistication. From the artworks, the key messages must be easily understood. The artworks must be accessible to people of all ages.

If it helps, the artist/s may use elements which tend to re-present South Sudan, without resorting to stereotyping and privileging one ethnic group over another. The artworks for every one of the five field sites, must also be rendered like they are a collection. The artworks must be impactful.

How many artworks are needed?

We are considering 15-30 artworks which will be featured in billboards and sign posts where there is a high traffic of people.

What are our pegs for the artworks?

We are keen to give room for the artist/s to suggest any styles with a popular and substantive impact. It may be useful though to think of firewood, tukul, water, and cattle as elements. As all artworks will be accompanied with messages in Nuer, Dinka, Arabic and Shiluk, kindly be mindful in playing with letters/words as Wordle-like elements.

How long will the production process be?

Once the artist/s is/are selected, we expect the artworks to be finished in two weeks. This will include two revisions and finalisation per artwork.

When will the billboards and signposts be put up?

We would like the artworks to be printed and installed in billboards and signpost by the second half of August 2019.

How much is the budget and how will it be disbursed?

The budget is reasonable. It will be disbursed upon the satisfactory production of the final output/s.

How shall the proposed budget be prepared?

For each artwork, we expect at least three studies. We ask that prospective artists follow this format as they make a bid, along with the submission of their portfolios.

(a) Three studies - (Timeline - No. of Days) and (Cost)

(b) Feedback-revision cycle for chosen study (maximum of 2 revisions) - Timeline and Cost

(c) Finalisation - Timeline and Cost

Total a+b+c = Timeline and Cost per art work

Submission Details:

The expression of interest EOI must have the following pieces of information:

(1) Name/s of the proponent/s

(2) Contact details of the proponent/s

(3) Costing - ideally done per collateral/ work (Please read the creative brief)

(4) Portfolio - Links to at least three samples of previous work

(5) Resume of the proponent/s

It also showed family planning uptake is low (contraceptive prevalence rate is 4.5% for all methods and 1.7% for modern methods). Overall, 26% of women aged 15-49 years have an unmet need for contraception, with 19% having an unmet need for spacing and another 7% having an unmet need for limiting (2010 SHHS).

1.Background

The Nordic International Support Foundation (NIS) first established its presence in Somalia in late 2011 with the implementation of a pilot solar street lighting project in Mogadishu designed to increase the legitimacy of the local administration by increasing its capacity to deliver public services. The success of the pilot project attracted donor interest in NIS’ approach to stabilization and NIS was able to develop and diversify its project portfolio to include a variety of infrastructure delivery programs.

The Initiative for Stabilization, transition and National Development (I-STAND) is a program contracted by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The goal of I-STAND is to increase legitimacy for and trust in government institutions at varying levels (local, regional, and federal). The I-STAND Program is Built around a comprehensive Theory of Change (ToC), that suggests investing in the government’s ability to deliver small-scale infrastructure projects will directly improve local residents’ trust in Somali authorities, which in turn will enhance government legitimacy and, ultimately, increase stability in the target districts. This is realized by assisting local governments in delivering small-scale infrastructure projects, such as the installation of Solar streetlights, hospital solar electrification, creation of a technical and vocational training centre; rehabilitation of roads; and investment in sports facilities among others.
