Baseline and Endline Evaluation Consultant
1 week ago
Abbreviated Scope of Work:
Combined Baseline and Endline Assessments for
Three USAID/BHA Awards in Ethiopia
**Reports To**:
Maya Rao, MERL Advisor
**Coordinating with**:
Needa Malik, Disaster Risk Manager
**Estimated Level of Effort**:
55 days
**Period of Performance**:
May 27 - Aug 9, 2024
**Country of Assignment**:
Remote
**BACKGROUND**
Plan International USA is a girls’ rights organization. Powered by supporters, we partner with adolescent girls, children and young women to overcome oppression and gender inequality. We provide the resources that are unique to their needs and the needs of their communities, ensuring they achieve their full potential with dignity, opportunity and safety.
Plan is currently implementing two USAID/Bureau for Humanitarian (BHA) projects: one in Borena Zone of Oromia Region and one in Northern Ethiopia across the three regions or Amhara, Afar and Tigray. The project in Borena provides child protection assistance to drought-affected communities through a combination of in-kind goods and services and voucher assistance. The project in Northern Ethiopia provides multisectoral assistance to internally displaced persons (IDPs), people who have returned from displacement (returnees), and households hosting displaced and returnees (host communities). Sectors of assistance include child protection, nutrition, health, and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), delivered through in-kind goods and services and voucher assistance.
Both the project in Borena and Northern Ethiopia are closing out in June and September 2024 respectively, with a new award starting up in May 2024. The new award will combine the Borena and Northern Ethiopia responses under one project; however the scope will be reduced, covering a subset of woredas from the prior two awards. Child protection activities will continue only in one woreda in Borena zone while multisectoral interventions will continue under a reduced set of target woredas in Amhara and Tigray Regions (Afar is removed).
With the closeout of the current Borena and Northern Ethiopia projects, BHA M&E guidelines require a final evaluation of the Northern Ethiopia project, while the Borena project requires only an endline assessment, with indicators to be submitted in the indicator tracking table (ITT) as part of the final performance report. As the new award is starting up, Plan is also required to collect and report baseline data to BHA within the first 90 days. Given the overlap in implementation sites and most indicators maintained from the prior to new award, Plan aims to combine the prior award endline data collection and new award baseline collection into one assessment managed by one consultant in collaboration with Plan Ethiopia project teams on the ground.
