Consultancy Services Required for End-line Evaluation of USAID OFDA Integrated Emergency Program in Mandera County

RACIDA in partnership with USAID’s OFDA is implementing an integrated humanitarian response project that responds to heightened need stemming from the confluence of humanitarian drivers, namely: COVID-19, Drought, Desert Locusts, and other climate shocks. The project is informed by needs identified by RACIDA’s Mandera County Drought Rapid Assessment, the priorities of the County Steering Group (CSG), County Government Authorities, and vulnerable communities in Mandera County. Communities targeted under this project are experiencing high rates of malnutrition among children under five, poor nutrition among Pregnant and Lactating Women (PLW), poor water quality and water access, poor hygiene practices and resources, and limited access to pasture and water for livestock. The project seeks to alleviate the impact of humanitarian disasters by increasing access to nutrition services in hard-to-reach areas in Mandera County (including improving the coverage of integrated management of acute malnutrition (IMAM) services), improving household Infant and Young Child Feeding Practices (IYCF), enabling improved household nutrition and hygiene practices, reducing the burden of livestock diseases, and improving access to emergency treated and protected water supply for human and livestock consumption.

To ensure that the project is well implemented, targeted, and measured, RACIDA has issued this Terms of Reference (TOR) to solicit proposals for an End-line Evaluation of the “Integrated emergency and early recovery response to support affected vulnerable communities in Mandera County of Kenya project.

End-line Survey Objectives

  • Establish End-line information against which the project log frame indicators at community level which will be used as a threshold for this project to assess progress, outcomes, and impact.
  • To document the perception of RACIDA and the project from relevant stakeholders, including the following: Community members, project beneficiaries, government authorities, and coordination mechanisms.
  • Produce an End-line Report that will be used to evaluate the impact of the project and to guide future project development, implementation and monitoring strategies.

End-line Target Group

The populations of interest for this end-line study are people living within the areas targeted under this project, with special focus on children aged under 5 years, women of reproductive age, livestock owners, youth, IDPs, and people living with disabilities.

Methodology

Methods Overview

Methodology: The consultant is expected to utilize a mixed-methods approach using literature reviews of white and gray literature and secondary data from the ministry of health, quantitative data from the targeted villages, and qualitative data from relevant stakeholders in Mandera County.

Data Sources: Household surveys, key informant interviews, focus group discussions, observations, program records, nutrition and health data from Mandera County, and other sources as deemed relevant by RACIDA. **

Location: The consultant will gather data from the field at household level, community level, and at county level.**

Literature Review

The consultant will be required to conduct a thorough and robust review of existing literature (white and gray) relating to WASH, nutrition, and livestock. Additionally, the consultant will be expected to collect secondary data on malnutrition and health outcomes in Mandera County, with special emphasis on the targeted sub counties. The literature review will be presented as a stand-alone section of the final report and will inform the development and revision of the evaluation methodology.

Quantitative Data Collection

The core of the assessment will consist of a randomized quantitative survey. The survey will collect data food security, Nutrition (including anthropomorphic measurements of Children < 5 and PLW), WASH (Water Supply, Hygiene Promotion, and WASH NFI), Agriculture and Food Security (Livestock).

All data will be disaggregated by sex, age, and disability. The end-line study will sample community members and other stakeholders from the project locations. The consultant is expected to propose quantitative methodology that is scientific, culturally appropriate, and will leverage both qualitative and quantitative data.

Household Questionnaire

The consultant will administer a household survey tool, which will include anthropomorphic measurements of malnutrition rates among children under five years of age in the surveyed household. The content and scope of the household survey tools will be determined on the basis of Consultant expertise, RACIDA priorities and knowledge, and Consultant-RACIDA engagement. The tools will be finalized by RACIDA.

Sampling Framework

A sample of respondents, stratified by gender, will be randomly selected in each target area for the quantitative survey. The sample will be statistically representative of the populations living in each target area based on the acceptable statistical sampling techniques. This should be in line with various contextual factors and proposed project site.

Sampling Approach

RACIDA expects the consultant to employ a sampling framework that utilizes a two-stage cluster sampling with probability proportionate to size (PPS) design. RACIDA suggests that the consultant use the latest version of the Emergency Nutrition Assessment (ENA) for Standardized Monitoring of Relief and Transitions (SMART) to determine sample size using village-disaggregated population data available from national and local authorities. The sample size should be disaggregated by village, children < 5, women and men, and any other demographic determined as necessary by RACIDA.

Survey Administration

The survey will be administered using ODK/Kobo Tool Box. A number of checks will be put in place to ensure the quality and accuracy of the data collected. These will include but are not limited to:

  • A thorough testing process for the data collection tool in line with standard operating procedures for tool development and testing, involving multiple layers of testing to ensure that the tool functions fully.
  • A pilot phase in the field during which the tool is thoroughly checked and tested prior to final use.
  • Daily checks of data collected to ensure that it is comprehensive and does not contain any mistakes.
  • Daily debriefs with data collection team to ensure that any problems encountered during data collection are identified and resolved.
  • Regular spot checks on the field during data collection to ensure data collectors are properly administering survey questionnaire.
  • A final, thorough, data cleaning process which will include verification of any potentially inaccurate data and revisits to the field if necessary. A log of data cleaning will be kept by the consultant and shared with RACIDA to ensure that all steps in the process can be replicated. .

Qualitative Data Collection

Qualitative data collection methods will include Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) with community members, leaders, RACIDA staff, ministry officials, community health works, and other relevant partners deemed appropriate. Example FGD participants include members of target communities, including women, youth, men, elders, and the like, and KIIs may include Ministry of Health Officials in Mandera County. The consultant team is expected to propose KII and FGD participants on the basis of their knowledge and on guidance from RACIDA.

Qualitative data collection tools will be determined on the basis of Consultant expertise, RACIDA priorities and knowledge, and Consultant-RACIDA engagement, and the tools will be finalized by RACIDA.

Focus Group Discussions

The FGDs will have the following goals:

  • Gather qualitative data to triangulate, explain, and expand upon the quantitative data gathered.
  • Explore in more detail the challenges facing community members and the perceived gaps in food security, health, and nutrition, WASH, and Livestock.
  • Identify specific barriers faced by different groups, i.e. women, youth, people living with disabilities (PLWD), children, IDPs, and the like in each target area in terms of accessing services, participating in the development of the local community, and understanding these barriers can be overcome for these specific groups.
  • Other goals as determined by RACIDA and the Consultant.

Participants will be selected by data collectors in the field based on selection criteria for each sample group. Each focus group with consist of 8 – 10 participants. To account for the sensitive nature of information which might be discussed during the FGDs, female facilitators will be involved in conducting the female FGDs and male facilitators involved in male FGDs.

All participants must give written consent to participate in the FGD.

Key Informant Interview

KIIs will also be conducted as part of the qualitative data collection. Interviews in each target area will be expected and will be expected to include PLWDs. KII should be conducted using both closed questionnaires and open-ended questionnaires, depending on the Key Informant.

The interviews will have the following goals:

  • Understand the current trends for food security, nutrition, WASH, and livestock and in the capacity of the communities to respond to, plan for, and implement mitigation measures in response to these trends.
  • Understand the current management, planning, and implementation practices of mitigation mechanisms for food security, nutrition, and health.
