TERMS OF REFERENCE

Mid Term Project Evaluation

Safety and dignity for Syrian refugees and vulnerable Jordanians with disabilities

1. General information

1.1About Humanity & Inclusion**

Outraged by the injustice faced by people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, we aspire for a world of solidarity and inclusion, enriched by our differences, where everyone can live in dignity.

Handicap International changed its name and became « Humanity & Inclusion ». Humanity & Inclusion (HI) is an independent and impartial aid and development organisation with no religious or political affiliations operating in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict and disaster. We work alongside people with disabilities and vulnerable people to help meet their essential needs, improve their living conditions and promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights.

HI has offices in 63 countries; for further information about the association: www.hi.org

1.2. About Humanity & Inclusion in the country/region

HI has been operating in Jordan since 2006, implementing projects ranging from the provision of comprehensive rehabilitation services, directly, through service providers or through a community based approach; inclusive local development, disability movement strengthening through capacity building of Disabled People-s Organizations and multi-stakeholder dialogue, among others.

In line with the Jordan Response Plan and the 3RP Regional Refugee and Resilience Plan, HI has always sought to integrate resilience and sustainable elements throughout its interventions, by adopting a twin-track approach which seeks to simultaneously address the direct needs of beneficiaries all the while engaging in dialogue with them, with local authorities and local actors to empower them to claim and address their rights to access these services.

Since late 2015 and in line with the evolution of the Syrian crisis into a protracted one, HI adjusted its strategy of intervention to progressively shift from direct to indirect service provision through partners. As of July 2017, the Jordan mission comprises a single entity seeking to ensure the continuity between emergency response, rehabilitation and development.

2. Evaluation context

4. Evaluation methodology (1 page maximum)

4.1 Collection method

Evaluation methods should be rigorous yet at all times proportionate and appropriate to the context of the project intervention and will be discussed with HI. The project works across various governorates and sites in Jordan, though all at day-trip distance from Amman, site visits will be arranged in line with the methods selected.

The evaluation will be based on primary and secondary data, in particular documentation directly related to the project - proposal, narrative and financial reports, monitoring datasets, surveys, studies, mid-term evaluation, published material, financial information, other documents produced to analyse individual project components and inform decisions regarding the course of the activities. Other contextual and related information by other organizations will also be made available. Finally, key stakeholders involved in the project at different stages will be mobilized for the evaluation - in addition to the whole current project team, former senior management and experts, main representatives of partners and finally volunteers and beneficiaries.

HI values the contributions of the evaluator towards proposing appropriate, innovative, and robust methods of evaluation. Some basic methodological requirements, however, are that:

Ø The evaluator should try to make tools and evaluation processes of the sample as inclusive as possible for persons with disabilities as much as they possibly can.

Ø The evaluation must be a participative and interactive process.

Ø The methodology should combine quantitative and qualitative data collection techniques and analysis.

Ø The proposed methodology should also describe how cross-cutting issues of gender will be addressed and incorporated throughout the various stages of the evaluation.

The evaluation should consist of 5 phases:

Preparatory phase (briefing with HI team, document review, appreciation-review of the evaluation feasibility), sampling, preparation of data collection tools, logistic arrangements

Production of inception report presenting the proposed methodology and tools to be used for data collection and submit to HI for revision and validation.

Field work - data collection

Data analysis and presentation of preliminary findings (meeting with stakeholders to present analysis, conclusions and recommendation and debating)

Report drafting by the evaluation team, review and validation of the report by Regional Technical Unit, Operations Co-ordinator and respective Project and MEAL Managers

Development of the final report based on the feedback of all the reviewers.

The evaluation methodology proposed by the evaluator team will be reviewed by HI after the closure of the selection process. The inception report and evaluation methodology must be approved by RTUC and FC prior to the commencement of any field work or any other substantive work.

HI will provide all the relevant project documents/reports, and make necessary appointments for meetings with partners, teams, beneficiaries and other respondents. The Evaluator will start with a meeting with HI project team.
