Objectives of consultancy

The following distinct but related pieces of work are expected from the consultant:
1-Conduct a contextual analysis: This document will help CARE DRC determine the extent to which there is a continued role for CARE in DRC and what this role should be, considering the dynamic environment and role of other actors. In a maximum of 15 pages, the following key elements of the context should be analyzed:

a. Overall poverty, socio-economic and human development situation in DRC with particular attention to trends in poverty (including urban poverty), key economic sectors on which the poor depend or that present poverty reduction potential, agriculture, climate change food and nutrition security, key health indicators with more focus on sexual and reproductive health (including GBV) and anticipated future trends - A deeper analysis will be expected on the crisis affected area such as Eastern DRC and the Kasai region - and also Kinshasa and surroundings (Bas Congo)

b. An analysis of conflict dynamics - including likely trend -Looking at the wider risk landscape and including a sense of the likelihood and impact of other hazards - such as infectious disease, extreme weather events etc

c. Democracy, governance and human rights situation

d. Legal and policy environment that impact our work in DRC at national, regional and global levels - including country key regional and global commitments on CARE thematic focus

e. Current and future space for and of role CSOs (distinguishing between national and international NGOs)

f. Key actors and their current and projected areas of priority, including traditional institutional donors, non-traditional donors and the private sector and the role of non-traditional donors.

g. All above themes should be analyzed from a gender perspective as well as its implication on GBV and the report should reflect these gender dimensions and the specific situation of or impact on women and girls, CARE-s primary impact group.

h. A conclusion of what the above context means for CARE-s future role and strategy. Expected output: a 15-page contextual analysis document covering the above themes and with reference to the CARE vision 2030 guiding questions on the context analysis-**Estimated number of days: 6**

2-Conduct a review of CARE DRC-s results, expertise, experience, added-value particularly impact level results and people reached, with the objective of analyzing the extent to which our projects and programs are achieving their intended objectives and ensure a reasonable return on investment to our donors. The following is suggested for this exercise:

a. Analyze results from the last five years from CARE DRC-s projects together with key project staff to develop a country “impact/results brief” presenting aggregated impact level results and the number of people reached [1]; Look at past performance through the lens of the 2030 Theory of Change and the focus on Agency, Relations and Structure to determine the progress that has been made

b. Assess the extent to which these results are in line with expectations. A limitation here might be that not all programs seem to have set targets based on baselines, so creative ways of analyzing results will be needed (e.g. perhaps by looking at the volume of resources or budget used compared to results, etc)

c. Analyze whether the scale of our impact is proportional to our investment. CARE is keen on “multiplying impact” through various strategies like partnership, evidence based advocacy, etc Is CARE DRC ready to take its models and impact to scale based on our current ratio of inputs versus impact and people reached?[2] If yes what do we need to capitalize on? If not, what needs to change?

d. Analyse the scale of our current impact in comparison to the scale of the challenge - what is our current scale in comparison to the total number of women and girls at risk from GBV in DRC, what is our current scale in comparison to the total number of people who are food insecure in DRC?

e. Identify lessons learnt related and recommendations to guide a longer-term program approach

f. Conduct a program planning workshop (2 days) to validate findings with staff and identify/confirm the priority impact groups, theories of change and CARE-s role/approach to serve as the foundation of CO programmatic strategic direction
