Turkey: GOAL Syria Consultant - Shelter Market Assessment

$
0
0
Organization: GOAL
Country: Turkey
Closing date: 11 Mar 2016

1. Introduction

1.1 Background

Now approaching its sixth year, the conflict in Syria has created the world’s worst humanitarian crisis since World War II, and the impact on the civilian population has been catastrophic and shows no sign of improvement. The United Nations estimates that over 7.6 million people have been internally displaced, while a further 3.2 million have fled to neighbouring countries as refugees.[1] Unabated insecurity and the continued degradation of households’ ability to cope have deepened the humanitarian impact of the crisis, with over 13.5 million people estimated to be in need of assistance.[2]

Factors such as conflict-induced inflation, currency depreciation and continued conflict-driven displacement have critically served to reduce the purchasing power of affected populations; during displacement, the possibility of finding work or undertaking any kind of economic activity is significantly reduced, contributing to ever-higher levels of vulnerability.[3]

The 2016 Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO) estimated that 2.3 million people are in need of shelter assistance, of which 154,442 live in Idleb Governorate, and 5.3 million people were in need of Non-Food Items (NFIs), of which 584,780 live in Idleb Governorate. The HNO also found that while 900,000 people were targeted for a shelter response between January and August 2015 under the Whole of Syria multi-sectorial Joint Operational Plan (JOP), only 100,000 were reached, indicating a gap of 89% between those in need and those reached. Shelter programming continues to be one of the must under-resourced components of the Syrian humanitarian response - indeed, the HNO indicates that shelter is the sector with the biggest gap in response.

There have been no recent estimates of the number of buildings damaged, but in early 2013, this was estimated to be three million. The 2014 Multi Sector Needs Analysis found that 1,640,685 people were in need of shelter, so the increase to 2.3 million people by August 2015 (when the HNO survey was carried out) indicates a severe deterioration in the humanitarian response. Under the same JOP, 8.4 million people were targeted for NFI support but only 4.3 million were reached, leaving a gap of 49%.

1.2 GOAL Syria’s Programmes

GOAL launched a humanitarian program in Northern Syria in October 2012, and established a coordinating office in Antakya, Turkey with sub-offices in Harem and Darkosh, Syria. The objective of the GOAL Syria response is to provide emergency support to vulnerable families displaced or affected within Syria by the conflict, via the distribution of cash, vouchers, food kits, and non-food items, and support to water delivery, solid waste removal, and bread production systems, and the provision of direct Shelter support.

GOAL Syria’s programme is one of the largest responses in northern Syria with a budget of $151 million in 2015. The total Shelter and NFI programme budget is approximately $28 million and the programme serves approximately 490,000 beneficiaries annually.[4] GOAL’s Shelter activities are funded by UNHCR, DFID and OFDA, and in 2015 had a budget of approximately $2.3 million, reaching 30,000 beneficiaries. GOAL implements its Shelter programme through a range modalities in order to ensure an appropriate range of emergency and transitional support to conflict-affected beneficiaries, including household repairs, collective centre repairs, and rental support.

2. Scope of Work

2.1 Research Project Purpose

GOAL Syria is seeking an external consultant to design an impact evaluation of GOAL’s Shelter programming focusing on community Shelter coping strategies in GOAL’s Area of Operations (AoO), and the housing rental market, and to establish baseline values.

It is expected that this research will gather data on the context, and through clear and concise analysis, identify key indicators for rental market monitoring, gather baselines on these functions and indicators, and propose a framework for the appropriate monitoring of the above. Key considerations for a monitoring framework include:

· Has there been a noticeable impact on rental prices in the target area?

· Has GOAL’s rental programme reached people of a particular vulnerability profile? I.e. are we reaching the most vulnerable, or are we serving people who already have sufficient socio-economic status that they can afford to rent?

· To what extent has this project affected households’ use of negative coping strategies?

· To what extent do the rental and repair modalities support the recovery of markets and market systems?

The evaluation design should be based on evidence from the field and the contextual analysis. The baseline measurements and analysis would provide a starting point for carrying out the evaluation. The actual impact evaluation would be carried out approximately one year later by GOAL.

The research is expected to identify best practices and include recommendations based on the contextual analysis and secondary research to improve programmatic decision making.

2.2 Research Project Scope

The research project should be organized around the following key research questions:

Contextual Analysis:

· What are current community emergency shelter coping mechanisms?

o Emergency shelter definition: in the event of a new shock. First three months of displacement

· What are current transitional shelter coping mechanisms?

· Are these coping strategies exhausting HH capacities to cope?

· What shelter modalities displaced and host community households prefer?

· What are the key decision making factors for beneficiaries in each of the above scenarios?

Household Rental Market Analysis:

· This research should do an initial analysis of the rental market in Idleb, and propose a system, or systems, through which GOAL can monitor the demand elasticity of the rental market focused on the following questions.

· In GOAL’s AoO:

o What is the available rental stock, by size and quality?

o What is the average rent for different categories of size, quality and geographic location?

o What is the demand elasticity of the housing rental market?

o What are the biggest economic, social and other barriers to potential renters finding housing?

o Do IDPs face differential access to the rental market than the host population?

o How does gender of head of household affect access to rental market?

o Are their particular neighbourhoods in our AoO demonstrating more or less elasticity?

o What are the barriers for building owners to repairing housing stock on their own?

o What is the availability of damaged housing stock that GOAL could repair?

Evaluation Framework

· This research should establish an impact evaluation framework, including relevant tools and baseline measurements. The evaluation framework should consider:

o Appropriateness – how well do the shelter interventions respond to the context?

o Effectiveness – how well do the shelter interventions provide safe and sufficient housing without interfering with market dynamics?

o Impact – to what extent does this project positively or negatively impact local housing markets, household well-being, and protect against negative coping strategies?

o Sustainability – How well does this project protect households’ future ability to withstand shocks and internal movements, and the communities’ future ability to absorb new population movements?

o Efficiency – does this particular combination of modalities provide a cost-effective solution to housing displaced people?

2.4 Research Project Tasks

  1. Refine the research objectives and primary research questions in consultation with GOAL Syria’s technical and management teams

  2. Devise and test a methodology and evaluation tools to quantify and describe the extent of the project’s impact on various stakeholders, vulnerable households

  3. Conduct secondary data collection and research, including using GOAL’s existing project monitoring data, to identify gaps in data coverage and knowledge

  4. Collect primary data in Syria to establish and quantify the economic impact on beneficiaries, and to the extent possible, non-beneficiaries

  5. Provide a draft report to programme management that will be incorporated into ongoing programme planning and evaluation, as well as recommendations for maximizing social impact

  6. Incorporate GOAL feedback into draft report and prepare a final report. The Final report should both describe the results of the research, and provide actionable recommendations for improving the Shelter program

3. Methodology

A recommended methodology is outlined below, but the final methodology and tools to be used is to be determined by the evaluation team and will be contingent on the above tasks. GOAL recommends a mixed methods approach that can quantify impact and achievement against targets and indicators, and can also assess the appropriateness of the Shelter modalities, and the balance between them.

The evaluation team should consist of one to two Team Leaders. Access to Syria is likely to be impossible for an international consultant, so a Training-of-Trainers (ToT), or if possible, a Syrian counterpart is required for international applicants. Preference will be given to International Team Leaders who speak Arabic, and/or those with experience of the Syrian response.

3.1 Planning

Before arriving in country the evaluation team will do the following:

§ Review key internal and external documents

§ In partnership with the GOAL Syria MEAL Coordinator and Shelter team, refine and finalise the specific evaluation questions to be explored from the scope described above.

§ Propose to the MEAL Coordinator and the Shelter team the appropriate methodology to be developed for the Syrian context to evaluate community Shelter coping mechanisms, and the housing rental market.

§ Prepare an outline of the data collection methods that are required and the relevant survey templates and participatory data collection guides to be used for data collection.

§ Develop data entry software with quality checks in place with a minimum 10% double entry.

§ Develop a work plan consisting of key milestones required for data collection in order for logistics to be arranged by the MEAL Coordinator.

§ In consultation with the MEAL Coordinator and Shelter Coordinator, develop an analysis plan and report framework addressing key questions.

On arrival in country the evaluation team will:

§ Hold a short planning meeting with all members of the evaluation team including the MEAL Coordinator and Shelter team, to review and amend the questions as needed for the data collection tool.

§ Liaise with the MEAL Coordinator and MEAL Field Coordinator on the training and recruitment of the data collection staff and the use of mobile data collection for the proposed survey tools and qualitative guides, as primary data collection will be required for the study.

§ Hold a brief workshop with relevant stakeholders to communicate evaluation methods, sampling frame and methodology, sample size, enumeration plan, objectives, and outcomes. This will include a short description of the evaluation questions and methods proposed, and the implications the findings of the evaluation may have on GOAL Syria cash-based response programming.

§ Develop an analysis plan for the primary research.

Post-site visit

§ Data analysis, evaluation design, and report development

3.2 Primary Data Collection

Areas of primary data collection in Syria will span across the Shelter programme area in Idleb. The sampling frame should take into account continual Shelter interventions to date, and seek to identify areas where there are both unaddressed Shelter needs and the necessary security stability for these interventions. To the greatest extent possible, the evaluation should consider both beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries, examining any potential positive or negative spill over and unintended effects.

In the initial stages of data collection, the consultants should conduct random checks on the data and preliminary analyses to identify and problems and make swift corrections.

Consultants are requested to include a full timeframe (which GOAL will then input with regard to travel days) within their proposal document in the following format:

Activity

Number of days

All participants will be assured that there will be no negative consequences if they choose not to participate. The evaluation team will obtain informed consent from the participants. The research team will ensure prior permission is received for taking and use of visual still/ moving images for specific purposes, i.e., ‘for research report and presentations. The evaluation team will assure the participants’ anonymity and confidentiality and will ensure the visual data is protected and used for agreed purposes only. In particular, the evaluation team will employ robust data security measures to further ensure participants’ confidentiality and anonymity. The evaluation team is responsible for determining whether or not their proposed methodology would require Institutional Review Board (IRB) clearance, and will be responsible for clearing the process and training if such approval is required.

5. Presentation and Documentation of Findings and Recommendations

This consultancy will take place in early 2016, with the final approved report to be submitted no later than 30th April 2016.

The findings and the evaluation design must be shared with GOAL in the following formats:

Closing date: 25 Feb 2016

Expertise France (EF) est une agence publique de coopération ayant pour mission d’assurer l’ingénierie et la conduite de projets au profit de bailleurs bi et multilatéraux.

Contexte du projet

En 2014, 1.3 millions de Tunisiens résidaient à l’étranger soit 12 % de la population ; plus de 80 % résident dans l’Union Européenne (UE), ce qui fait de la Tunisie un partenaire incontournable de l’UE dans le domaine de la migration. Par ailleurs la Tunisie est devenue ces dernières années un pays de transit et d’installation pour les migrants ; elle accueille depuis 2011 de nombreux étrangers libyens, syriens et subsahariens suite aux conflits régionaux. Conscient du rôle joué par les migrations dans le développement économique et social, le pays est en cours d’élaboration de sa stratégie nationale migratoire.

L'Approche Globale de la question des Migrations et de la Mobilité (GAMM) montre que la migration figure parmi les priorités politiques de l'Union européenne dans ses relations avec les pays du sud de la Méditerranée. En Novembre 2012, l'UE et la Tunisie ont signé un plan d'action 2013-2017 permettant d’ouvrir le dialogue sur les migrations, avec l'objectif de conclure un partenariat pour la mobilité traitant la circulation des personnes, la gestion de la migration légale, la migration et le développement, la protection des droits des migrants, la lutte contre la migration irrégulière, et la réadmission. Le partenariat pour la mobilité (PPM) entre l'UE, dix de ses États membres (Belgique, Danemark, Allemagne, Espagne, France, Italie, Pologne, Portugal, Suède et Royaume-Uni) et la Tunisie a été signé le 3 mars 2014. Le projet ici présenté fait partie des initiatives intégrées dans le Partenariat pour la Mobilité UE-Tunisie.

Le projet financé par l’UE et coordonné par Expertise France réunit autour des institutions tunisiennes bénéficiaires plusieurs partenaires européens (Ministères, agences de développement). Il a pour objectif de renforcer les capacités du gouvernement à développer et mettre en œuvre sa politique nationale migratoire et porte sur trois thématiques :

  1. La migration de travail et la mobilité professionnelle
  2. La mobilisation des compétences des Tunisiens de l’Etranger et l’intégration de la migration dans le développement local et régional

Ongoing programmes of VNG International

The Local Government Capacity Programme – Central America (LGCP 2012-2016), financed by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs. **

This programme invests in the capacity of municipal governments and their associations in Central America and the Dominican Republic. Its aim is to strengthen the voice of municipal governments in the development and implementation of national and of regional security policies, such as the Central American Security Policy (ESCA) of the Central America Integration System (SICA).

VNG International facilitated the creation of the Confederation of Associations of Municipalities of Central America and the Caribbean (CAMCAYCA) and works with this new regional body to strengthen the voice of municipal governments at the region level, particularly in the field of conflict prevention. **

This programme is part of VNG International’s Local Government Capacity Programme, which also contributes to capacity building of local governments and their associations in eight other countries.

The Local Government Capacity Programme Nicaragua (LGCP 2012-2016), financed by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The LGCP Nicaragua programme focuses on institutional strengthening of 13 local governments, through the Asociación de Municipios de los Hermanamientos Nicaragua-Holanda (AMHNH), and their representation, the Asociación de Municipios de Nicaragua (AMUNIC), in order to support local economic development. In addition, the programme supports AMUNIC to improve the service delivery to its members and increase its financial sustainability.

From Fragile to Stable: Colombia and Guatemala (2012-2016), financed by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The general objective of the project is to reduce the basic causes of fragility in both La Macarena Colombia and the municipalities of Santo Domingo Xenacoj (Sacatepéquez) and Parramos (Chimaltenango) in Guatemala.

  1. Improved access to the justice system;

  2. Increased citizen security at the local level;

  3. Improved citizen participation in municipal governance;

  4. Institutional strengthening of municipal administrations in relation to justice and settlement.

Key to this project is the support we provide to the training of judicial facilitators in nine municipalities. They form a network of voluntary leaders of communities and contribute to the democratic governability by improving the levels of access to justice, promoting a culture of peace and strengthening local conflict prevention and alternative resolution disputes. Also, the project is directly aligned to the National Service of Judicial Facilitators that is managed by the Organismo Judicial of Guatemala and the Organization of American States.

Another key aspect of this programme is the support provided to Community Development Councils (COCODES) and Municipal Development Councils (COMUDES) in the fields of citizen participation, accountability and citizen security.

Project/Consultancy Title: Fuel Efficient Stove (Lorena and Shielded Fire stove) Consultant

Consultancy Location(s): Maban, Upper Nile State, South Sudan

Background:

Relief International (RI) is a humanitarian, non-profit, non-sectarian and non-political agency that provides emergency relief, rehabilitation and development services throughout the world with a sole mission to reduce human suffering. We respond to natural disasters, humanitarian emergencies and chronic poverty. With legal standing both in the United States as a not-for-profit organization and in the United Kingdom as a registered Charity, Relief International implement programs in 19 countries across Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

RI seamlessly blends humanitarian and development efforts so every program resolves immediate issues while laying the groundwork for long-term impact. Our signature approach — which we call the RI Way — emphasizes local participation, an integration of services, strategic partnerships, and a focus on civic skills. In this way, we empower communities to find, design and implement the solutions that work for them — and for generations to come.

Purpose / Project Description:

Relief International through its’ Building Self-Reliance and Resilience program seeks to strengthen environmental protection and natural resource management to improve the self-reliance of the refugee and refugee hosting population in Maban County, Upper Nile State, South Sudan. While the projects’ Livelihoods component will primarily target refugees in Batil and Doro camps, the environmental protection activities will benefit both the refugees and host communities. The program will address rapid environmental degradation and deforestation through tree planting, support to sustainable livelihoods programming and promote the production and use of fuel efficient cook stoves. RI will promote the local manufacture and sale of fuel efficient cook stoves (lorena and shielded fire stove models) targeted training, capacity building support, and start-up kits to vulnerable refugees. The consultancy is therefore to provide ToT trainings to groups of selected refugees on the production, use, maintenance and marketing of the energy efficient cook stoves.

Consultant Objectives:

Overall Objective: To increase access to and promote the use of improved/energy efficient cook stoves.

Specific objectives:

  • To increase access to energy saving stoves for beneficiaries through communal production.
  • To be used at household-level.
  • To create potential income generating capacities.
  • To ease food preparation process and reduce fuel (firewood/charcoal) consumption.
  • To raise public awareness at the community level on the benefits of improved cook stoves and create demand for future follow-on activities.
  • To reduce the rate of deforestation and promote environmental protection.

Expected Key Results from the Consultancy:

  • All RIs’ project officers should be equipped with sufficient skills to help establish sustainable fuel efficient energy saving stoves when called upon to do so.
  • Two production groups (one in Batil and one in Doro refugee camps) comprising 15 members each should be equipped with skills to manufacture lorena and shielded fire stoves, sourcing and preparation of stove construction materials, the use and maintenance of stoves, and efficient cooking practices.
  • All trainees should be able to mainstream business skills, including marketing strategies and basic literacy / numeracy required for the expansion of fuel efficient stove production.
  • Twenty Lorena stoves and twenty Shielded fire stoves established through the capacity building process. RIs’ project Officers and production groups in Doro and Batil camp will replicate learning to other beneficiaries.

Background

Background to the organisation

350.org is building a global climate movement. Our online campaigns, grassroots organizing, and mass public actions are coordinated by a global network active in over 188 countries. In just over seven years, we've helped create a network of nearly 1 million supporters and hundreds of partner organizations around the world. 350.org has organized some of the largest mobilizations in the planet's history.

It all started when writer Bill McKibben and a team of seven college friends founded 350.org in 2008 with the intent to build a major social climate justice movement worldwide to confront climate change and the fossil fuel industry. In 2009, our first International Day of Climate Action united over 5,200 climate rallies in 182 countries. In 2010, we organized the 10/10/10 Global Work Party, bringing together 7,200 communities in 188 countries to work together on local climate solutions. In 2011, we merged with 1Sky, and we began to focus more of our work in the US, starting with a major effort to stop the Keystone XL pipeline and connect it with President Obama's climate legacy.

Our Global Power Shift conference in June 2013 brought together 500 young leaders from 135 countries, now being followed up with 50-60 national summits. Our 22-city Do the Math tour at the end of 2013 was a great success and helped launch our divestment campaign, now with over 400 campuses, municipalities, churches, and other institutions involved in many countries and regions across the world, including Japan, South Africa, New Zealand, northern Europe, Australia, US and Canada. In April 2014 we helped organize Reject & Protect with the Cowboy Indian Alliance to bring Native Americans, farmers and ranchers to DC for a week-long encampment to protest the Keystone XL pipeline. In September 2014, we worked with nearly 1,500 partner groups to organize the largest (nearly 400,000 people) climate protest in history, the People's Climate March, and 350.org worked with partners to turn out an additional 400,000 around the world at solidarity marches in key cities. In October 2014, the Pacific Climate Warriors paddled out into the harbour of the world’s largest coal port – Newcastle, Australia – to stop coal exports for a day and send their message to the fossil fuel industry and the world: “We are not drowning. We are fighting.”

In 2015, the Keystone XL pipeline was finally denied. We helped pass a bill to divest California’s two largest pension funds from coal, and we held Global Divestment Day in February 2015. By the end of the year, institutions representing $3.4 trillion in assets under management have committed to some level of fossil fuel divestment. In December, we helped organize demonstrations around the world to pressure world leaders to create a landmark climate agreement in Paris. While in many ways the agreement is too-little-too-late, it provides a tool and a path forward to pressure countries to make change.

Background to the Project

At the time of deciding to become involved in COP21 and to make it a priority project for the organisation for 2015, very little was expected of a possible positive outcome to the inter State process and possible agreement. The basis for 350’s engagement in the COP21 process was therefore to use the event as an opportunity to grow the global climate justice movement by 1) engaging with the French and international coalition and coalition partners to consolidate the movement through stronger partnerships and 2) use the event to recruit new 350 supporters globally through online and offline mobilisation so as to strengthen other actions and existing campaigns (Keep it in the Ground, Break Free, Divest, etc.) taking place beyond COP21. The evaluation will look at the effectiveness of this strategy for 350.

Goals and Objectives of the Project

Goals

350’s goals in relation to its engagement in the COP21 process were:

1: To broaden and strengthen the climate justice movement (Paris is seen as a recruitment/diversification opportunity for 350)

2: To align the worldwide climate progressive movement behind common escalation strategy (by playing a coordinating role and trying to close the gap between grassroots and NGO/institutional movement)

3: To build to the May 2016 Global Action: Break Free from Fossil Fuel

Objectives:

There were a variety of objectives based on the different moments of the Paris Sandwich. These go as follows:

28-29 November 2015: Global Climate March (or GCM)

Objective 1: Bring people on the streets of Paris and beyond

Objective 2: Diversify the Climate Justice Movement

Objective 3: Shaping the look of the March

Two weeks of the COP

Objective 1: Responding to government in COP 21 and to FF industry

Objective 2: Strengthen the Divest Movement (Event)

Objective 3: More climate finance (More narrative so led by Comms)

D12

Objective 1: Create the largest Mass Action over climate in Europe (leading working group, trainings and designing one of the action) that includes diverse communities participating. (8,000 participants)

Objective 2: Grown numbers calling for fossil freeze

Objective 3: Give the movement a clear signal for what comes next -- A big, broad, bold and energized movement to win national and local fights in 2016 and beyond.

Activities

A variety of activities were organised to meet these objectives , in the run up and during the Paris Sandwich, including training of trainers (social mobilisation) and event briefings, online mobilisation, events and unauthorized actions, lobbying, media outreach, engaging with a wide array of partners (international and French coalition members), negotiating with the French government, mobilising minority partners, Artivism, etc. More about the project is available on: http://350.org/paris/

The team

A variety of teams were created to work towards and during the Paris Sandwich, such as the Global Moments Team (which usually operated as separate sub-teams: September Workshops, Global Climate March, and D12), the Narrative Team, the Political Strategy Team and the Paris on the Ground Team (PoG) to respond to the various activities that 350 decided to engage in as part of its strategy around COP21. Additional sub-teams also arose and generally team membership was flexible and aimed at responding to the shifting needs of 350’s engagement in the social mobilisations around the COP21 process. Coordination and information processes around and between these various teams and sub-teams will be a key area of study during this evaluation.

Research

Purpose of the research

After the highly successful 2014 Climate March organised by 350 and partners in New York and after a few years of global organising, 350’s engagement in the COP21 process has not only been its biggest endeavour so far, mobilising the whole of the organisation at one point or another during the preparation/implementation process, it was a key element of 350’s global development strategy.

The two main objectives of this evaluation therefore are

  1. to understand whether the strategic decision to engage in the COP process in the manner that 350 did (through coalition work, engaging in online and offline mobilisation, delving into in the political process during the negotiations, etc.) was the correct strategic decision for 350 in its endeavour to grow and strengthen a global climate justice movement: what gains were made, how were challenges met, what does this tell us for the future of the organisation? Were the financial and capacity invested in this process justified based on the result of the evaluation?

  2. to assess the project management of the Paris Sandwich including internal planning process, information sharing and team coordination

350 is more interested in teasing out and implementing learning from this extensive experience than defining the project’s or the teams’ “successes” or “failures”. We welcome suggestions from Consultants on how they intend to deliver such learning during and at end of the evaluation.

Research framework

350 is a very young organisation which has grown enormously since its first events in 2008. Whilst this growth is a sure sign of success, it also implies that it is an organisation that has not yet fully integrated more established organisational processes, including project processes which would allow for more run-of-the-mill research framework to be used, especially sufficient indicators as basis for the research.We are aware that our objectives were lacking clear articulation of outcomes or success indicators, we are therefore looking at the evaluators to propose a methodology/research framework to address this issue in their response to the Call. DAC criteria might be an option but we are very much open to other tools better suited to 350’s organisational culture, embedded in a strong network of international, young and passionate activists.

Research areas

The focus of the evaluation is on COP in Paris or what was called “the COP21 Paris sandwich”, i.e. the week-ends and weeks of action around the Climate Summit taking place in Paris and globally at end of November and first two weeks of December 2015.

Some more defined areas for research with regards to 350 during the Paris project are:

1) In relation to some political achievement in the bourget

  • Did we meet our objectives as defined in the “Two weeks of COP” above? To what extent? What were the tactics that were used (inside/outside; impacted communities’ voices; petition, actions outside Paris, etc.)? What were the most/least successful and why?

  • What was 350’s position on the final text? How does it fit with the rest of the movement? How was the positioning process done and to what extent is this reflective of 350’s as an organisation? What does it mean for our political work in the future?

  • What unexpected learning?: successes and challenges that might not be covered by the objectives which took place (capacity to be nimble, to grab opportunities but also lost opportunities and unexpected “wins”/”losses”.)

2) Street mobilisation/action in Paris and globally

  • Did 350 fulfill its objectives with regards to both N29 in Paris and Globally and D12 in Paris? What were the most effective tactics (outreach to frontline and excluded communities through events, campus tours, mobilisation in other EU countries, trainings and briefings) to foster participation on both dates?

  • What was our final contribution to the street actions in Paris and Globally on both dates?

  • Was our engagement (leadership, capacity and commitment) in N28-29 events globally sufficient?

  • How did 350 react to the terrorist attacks and the state of emergency in Paris? What was their impact on 350’s planning? What lessons can be learnt?

3) Online mobilisation: web and social media

  • Were the Digital objectives as per the COP21 Digital strategy/plan met (including number of blasts, timely web updates, stats, sign-ons, etc.)?

  • Were the Social Media objectives as per the COP21 Social Media strategy/plan met?

4) Coms/media outreach (both mainstream and community/local media)

  • Were the Communications objectives as per the COP21 Communication strategy/plan met (including media coverage, discourse, etc.)?

  • Was staff inside and outside Coms clear on narrative, messaging, audiences?

  • Did 350.org help shape media coverage of the COP to reflect 350’s top priorites and messages?

  • Did 350.org effectively generate press coverage for the N29 and D12 mobilisations?

  • How did communications work to support partner led initiatives?

5) Relationship and coordination to the French and international coalition as well as with 350 partners and communities.

  • What was the basis for 350’s engagement with the French and International coalitions? Was the purpose of engagement as well as scope of engagement clear to all parties (including staff involved)?

  • In what way and to what extent has engagement with the Coalitions helped us meet our wish to grow and strengthen the movement? Should 350 pursue such strategy in the future and to what extent?

  • With regards to 350 partners, how has partnership work, during COP21, enhanced 350’s capacity to meet its objectives to strengthen the Climate Justice Movement? What were the positive aspects of these partnerships? What were the challenges? In this context, what should we review?

  • With regards to most impacted and excluded communities, have our strategies carved greater space for their voices to be heard? What can we learn of such engagement for future actions?

6) Planning process/ Internal coordination/project management (with a large number of levels and different part of the organisation being involved at one point or the other in the process and the specific context of the terrorist attacks and the state of emergency).

  • What was the type of planning process undertaken? Was it effective? What should we review?

  • What was the PM (teams, line management, budgeting) model used to prepare for the Paris Sandwich? What were its strengths? What were the challenges? What recommendations can be made for future similar projects?

  • What tools and processes were used to ensure coordination and information sharing? To what extent were these useful? What can be improved in the future?

  • Were roles and responsibilities clearly established and pursued? Were there processes of foras to review these when necessary?

  • How transparent and accountable was decision making with regards to action planning, communication, financing, etc?

  • How effective were the team structures set up for information sharing in the run up to and during the Paris Sandwich?

Methodology

We will not be prescriptive on the methodology for the evaluation and leave the Consultants to advise on the appropriate methodology. However as a key project for 350 and one of the first evaluation that 350 is undergoing, we think it is important that data should be rich and coming from a variety of sources and that the process be as participatory as possible (there may be a possibility to arrange for discussion groups on skype but also in “real life”).

The results of the evaluation, whilst focusing on 350’s engagement in COP, will be shared with the movement at large and should also be of interest to those most involved. The Project Leads from 350.org are committed to writing a written response to each recommendation explaining how they will be taken forward (or not) and to be shared with relevant or all staff .

Potential sources for data gathering include French and International coalition members, 350 partners, donors, political figures of the movement/states, 350 permanent and contract staffs, 350 Board members, amongst others.

Outputs:

A short inception report (in English) clarifying/finalising research questions, methodology, timeline and outputs will be delivered in the early stages of the research process

A full evaluation report in English including Executive Summary, Key Findings and Analysis, Lessons Learnt (including unexpected findings), Conclusions and Recommendations. This will primarily serve internal purposes for any staff interested and more specifically, the Leadership Team. Final agreement on the length and the structure of the report though will be confirmed in the Inception Report.

A separate presentation summarising the main highlights of the report presented in an engaging manner (content, form, visual). This would be the format preferred to share with all staff and partners. This might require the help of a designer (provided by 350).

Organization: Médecins du Monde
Country: France
Closing date: 31 May 2016

Médecins du Monde, association médicale militante de solidarité internationale, s'engage depuis plus de 30 ans à soigner les populations les plus vulnérables ici et là-bas, à témoigner des entraves constatées quant à l’accès aux soins, à obtenir des améliorations durables des politiques de santé pour tous. Association indépendante nous agissons au-delà du soin en dénonçant les atteintes à la dignité et aux droits humains et en nous battant pour améliorer la situation des populations précaires. En France, les actions de Médecins du Monde ont pour but de faciliter l’accès au système de santé pour les plus précaires (SDF, migrants, usagers de drogue, personnes se prostituant, etc.). A l’international, MdM travaille dans 40 pays sur tous les continents et sur 4 thématiques prioritaires (soins aux migrants et aux déplacés, promotion de la santé sexuelle et reproductive, lutte contre le VIH et réduction des risques liés à l’usage de drogue, crises et conflits).

La délégation Nord Pas-de-Calais de Médecins du Monde existe depuis deux ans. Elle supervise l’ensemble des projets de la région, situés dans différents points du territoire (Valenciennes, Lens, Dunkerque, Calais).

Dans une approche innovante, MdM s’apprête à démarrer un projet d’accès aux soins dans la métropole lilloise auprès de nouveaux publics. Il s’agit des populations vivant dans des quartiers prioritaires, où la démarche de soins est faible ou tardive malgré la présence d’une couverture sociale, et où se côtoient plusieurs types de précarité. Dans une approche de médiation médico-sociale, plutôt que dans une démarche de soins, MdM souhaite rapprocher les acteurs du système de santé et ces « nouvelles précarités » invisibles, dans le quartier de Lille Sud, classé en zone urbaine sensible.

Les activités viseront à identifier les personnes les plus isolées, de les accompagner physiquement vers les différentes structures médicales ou sociales, d’organiser des sessions individuelles et collectives de sensibilisation et d’éducation à la santé. Ces activités seront mises en œuvre par une équipe de bénévoles à former, sous la responsabilité du coordinateur de programme. Elles chercheront à impliquer autant que possible les personnes concernées par l’action dans une démarche de promotion de la santé s’appuyant sur une approche communautaire.

Un appui à la mise en réseau des acteurs du quartier, dans un but d’améliorer le lien et l’efficacité du secteur médical et du secteur social, sera également nécessaire.

DESCRIPTION DU POSTE :

Vous travaillez sous la responsabilité directe du coordinateur régional, et en lien fonctionnel avec le responsable de mission associatif. Vous animez l’équipe de bénévoles mobilisés sur ce projet.

Vous capitalisez au fur et à mesure du déroulement de l’action la connaissance acquise sur ce programme pilote, à des fins de modélisation
