Background

Since achieving independence in July 2011, much of South Sudan’s short history as a nation has been characterized by political instability and violent conflict. Since civil war broke out in December 2013, South Sudan has spiraled into a deeper state of emergency. The protracted conflict continues to cause significant forced displacement (both internally and in refugee movements to neighbouring countries), while curtailing the delivery of social services, agricultural production and destroying basic infrastructure. According to UNHCR, almost two million South Sudanese have sought refuge in neighbouring countries since December 2013, representing one of the largest refugee crises in the world. The conflict has had significant consequences for South Sudanese civilians, with women and youth particularly affected. The volatile situation is accompanied by an increase in rights abuses, with gender based violence and child recruitment by armed groups both widespread phenomena.

Efforts to achieve a political resolution to the conflict are currently channeled through the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) led peace process, called the High-Level Revitalization Forum (HLRF). This is the key platform bringing together warring parties to seek agreement on a long-term solution to ending the violence. Though representatives from civil society, women, youth, academia and faith-based leaders have participated in the HLRF talks, there has been little broad-based engagement of South Sudanese, outreach or awareness-raising about the process. There has also been no significant or sustained effort to assess perspectives and priorities of South Sudanese citizens—including women, youth, and refugees who bear some of the worst impacts of the conflict—and to ensure their perspectives inform the HLRF process as well as other peace-building and reconciliation initiatives.

Oxfam seeks to contribute to a more inclusive peace process by supporting regular surveys to assess perceptions among South Sudanese within and outside of the country related to social cohesion and peace. The outcomes of the perception surveys will increase understanding of and attention to the priorities and views of South Sudanese themselves. Such an assessment will complement the participation of civil society representatives in the peace process and contribute to other initiatives. The assessments could also inform the governance and humanitarian programming of Oxfam and other organizations.

Scope of Work

The selected partner will design and administer perception surveys covering issues such as governance, social cohesion and peace among South Sudanese in select locations in South Sudan and in Uganda. The assignment will take place over the course of 6 months. It is considered a pilot, with the intention that the survey will be undertaken on an annual basis over a four-year period.

The perception survey should address issues pertaining to governance and human security; civic behavior; inter and intra group relations; exposure to violence and psychological functioning; knowledge of peace process; and/or displacement. Where relevant, the survey could build on or be informed by previous perception surveys undertaken in South Sudan. The survey could include a combination of questions asked across all respondent groups, in addition to specific questions adapted to certain target groups. For example, issues related to refugee/host community relations and prospects for return could be integrated into the survey for refugees and host communities.

The partner selected will develop a detailed survey instrument and methodology, in consultation with relevant Oxfam staff. The survey methodology should recognize the challenges in undertaking quantitative surveys in dynamic, conflict-affected environments. To the extent possible, the survey should seek to achieve 50 percent gender parity in terms of respondents.

Locations

The pilot survey should be conducted in two or three locations in South Sudan and in two or three locations in Uganda. In South Sudan, the possible locations include: Juba, Nyal, and Ganyiel, where Oxfam is currently implementing a range of development, peacebuilding, and humanitarian activities. In Uganda, possible locations for research include: Palabek settlement (Lamwo district), Bidibidi settlement (Yumbe district), Imvepi and Rhino settlements (Arua district), where Oxfam implements humanitarian activities. Applicants can propose different locations besides those listed above, with reasonable justifications.

Where possible, the survey locations should be maintained in each annual round, to allow for comparison of data across time. Given the dynamic nature of the conflict, however, locations for the survey may need to change.

Key Tasks and Deliverables

• Design an appropriate research methodology and survey instrument;
• Develop tailored questionnaires for each survey location to assess relevant indicators agreed together with the Oxfam, and to reflect the different contexts;
• Conduct the perception survey in selected locations in South Sudan and Uganda;
• Draft a report describing key findings, their relevance to peace-building and humanitarian efforts, challenges experienced during the survey, and lessons learned to inform subsequent iterations;
• Draft public communications material (short report/ briefing note that can be published).Validation workshop and presentations of survey findings in all research locations, to key stakeholders and advocacy targets
• Design and implement an advocacy and communication strategy for the report.

1.Introduction/Background

KNOWHOW3000 – the knowledge management programme of HORIZONT3000 – is a three years programme, funded by the Austrian Development Agency and the Member Organizations of HORIZONT3000. Its current phase (Jan 1st 2016 - Dec 31st 2018) is the third phase of the programme and is implemented in Austria and all countries, where HORIZONT3000 works (further called “partner countries”). Its design, implementation and results in the programme region East Africa will be evaluated externally in the third quarter of 2018.

About KNOWHOW3000

The KNOWHOW3000 programme offers an additional benefit to local partner organizations beyond the financial support and/or technical assistance provided by HORIZONT3000, which is: facilitation of learning processes, access to innovative or established methods, tools and instruments, and the possibility to share experiences and lessons learned within the partner community – click here for the full list of services provided within the programme. By doing so, the programme aims to improve the work of the partner organisations of HORIZONT3000 in order to deliver better services to their target groups and foster change at societal level.

The programme contains a set of activities, methods and approaches aiming at the generation, preservation, and sharing of knowledge within the network of HORIZONT3000, its member organisations and partner organizations. ‘Knowledge’ refers to experiences, know-how, capacity, and skills, and, in contrast to mere information management, also includes cultural, social and human perspectives.

The KNOWHOW3000 programme is part of the HORIZONT3000 framework programme, which is funded by the Austrian Development Agency (ADA) and the member organizations of HORIZONT3000. The framework programme encompasses 34 programme interventions in 12 countries, implemented in cooperation with local partner organizations mainly in the sectors Human Rights – Civil Society and Rural Development – Natural Resource Management.

The KNOWHOW3000 programme makes up about 10% of the financial volume of the framework programme. Besides being one of the 34 programme interventions, it also constitutes result 3 of the overall framework programme and therefore is of great relevance for the overall framework programme intervention logic.

It is implemented in Austria and all HORIZONT3000 partner countries: Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua (programme region Central America); Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania (programme region East Africa); Senegal, Ethiopia, Mozambique and Papua New Guinea. 70% of the programme is co-funded by ADA, 30% by HORIZONT3000 Member Organizations.

HORIZONT3000 regional offices in the partner countries are key change levers for improving partner organisations performance as they are in regular contact with organisations, experience and live the local context and can influence the planning and implementation of partners’ activities. Therefore, they play a crucial role in the implementation of KNOWHOW3000. In coordination with the Head Office in Austria, they plan, implement and follow-up on KNOWHOW3000 activities.

The Objective of the KNOWHOW3000 Programme is defined as follows: The partner organisations of HORIZONT3000 and its Member Organisations improve their performance through services in the area of Knowledge Management and Organisational Development.

The Expected Results are the following:

ER 1: Learning & Sharing: HORIZONT3000 partner organisations and Member Organisations partner organisations are enabled to learn from their and/ or other organisations’ experiences

ER 2: Internet Platform: The internet platform provides more effectively information and know-how relevant to HORIZONT3000 partner organisations’, Member Organisations’ partners and further cooperation partners’ work.

ER 3: Organizational Development: HORIZONT3000 and its partner organizations’ structures and processes are demonstrably improved to serve their target populations’ needs.

The Target Group of the KNOWHOW3000 Programme is composed of about 75 HORIZONT3000 partner organizations from all HORIZONT3000 partner countries, partner organizations of member organizations in HORIZONT3000 partner countries, HORIZONT3000 technical advisors and HORIZONT3000 employees in Vienna and its country/regional offices.

The Indirect Beneficiaries are the target groups (direct beneficiaries) of the 75 HORIZONT3000 partner organisations targeted by the programme.

How can you make a difference?

Under the supervision of the ECD Specialist, the consultant will support MoGLSD and the ECD secretariat to clearly articulate the Ugandan context in terms systems, structures and approaches to establishment of a functional performance measurement framework for implementation of integrated ECD.

Background

Early Childhood Development (ECD) is recognized by the government of Uganda as a strategic priority to realize the vision 2040 under the Human Capital Development Pillar as articulated in the National Development Plan (NDP II 2016-2020). In pursuit of this strategic goal, the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development (MoGLSD) has spearheaded the development, approval and implementation of Uganda’s National Integrated Early Childhood Development (NIECD) Policy in consultation with all key sectors.

The purpose of the NIECD Policy is to guide the effective delivery of coordinated early childhood development services in Uganda. The Policy is expected to regulate the provision of services and activities of relevant Government sectors that are responsible for ECD (eg MoGLSD, MoES, MoH, MoWE, MoAAIF, MoIA, MoLG) along seven core program areas, bridge gaps within existing sector policies and programs and harmonize them for better coordination and utilization of resources. The accompanying Action Plan (2016-21) for the NIECD Policy articulates priority program initiatives with corresponding outcomes, outputs and indicators with an initial five year budget for each of the seven core program areas. It also outlines institutional structures and processes to be put in place for implementation, coordination and governance of the integrated ECD system, led by the ECD Secretariat (under MoGLSD) at national level and Integrated ECD Committees at all districts and all sub-district levels.

As an essential element of good governance, the NIECD Policy explicitly pronounces the need to develop a NIECD monitoring and evaluation (M&E) framework. To achieve this, an international consultant was hired by UNICEF HQ to support MoGLSD develop a performance measurement framework for implementation of integrated ECD. During this process sectors are expected to identify and define sector specific ECD targets and indicators in respective existing M&E systems. Accordingly, a NIECD M&E framework will be established with a clearly articulated ‘Theory of Change’ and with a results framework, tools and processes to monitor progress towards: (a) systematic planning, budgeting and coordination across sectors and stakeholders that support early childhood; (b) the delivery of integrated ECD services and (c) resulting outcomes focusing on children as well as relevant targets under the National Development Plan II and the Sustainable Development Goals. The M&E framework will include an evaluation framework designed to identify the most operationally feasible and cost effective delivery mechanism(s) of ECD programs vis-à-vis the NIECD policy and its action plan.

In tracking outcomes focusing on children, this framework will consider existing monitoring and evaluation mechanisms capturing sector specific ECD measures (eg. children are well nourished and healthy; learn, play and grow up in safe, clean and stimulating environments; are protected from abuse and violence; have age appropriate development skills; join primary school timely and ready to learn, progress and achieve success in school). It will include contextualized overarching child well-being indicators linked to developmental milestones of children conception to 8 which go beyond sector specific areas of intervention.

The Framework will consider indicators for sector-specific interventions (eg for health, nutrition, WASH, learning and protection); cross sectoral interventions (eg parenting support) and inter-sectoral coordination for delivery of integrated services. The M&E system will enable policy makers to monitor the entire ECD space across Government and non-government partners in line with the Policy’s action plan. It will not only track progress but also guide the MoGLSD to effectively coordinate the implementation of the NIECD policy and ensure, to the extent possible, compliance with established standards in service provision in terms of access, quality, costs and effectiveness.

The evaluation framework will focus on a strategic evaluation design to better understand "how" to deliver integrated ECD services (rather than what package of services to deliver). It will provide an evaluability assessment of carefully selected interventions (or packages of interventions) that are differentiated enough to enable the evaluator to measure the impact of each individual piece separately. Technically, this can be achieved by building complementary yet uncontaminated arms of the evaluation targeting different population clusters. In order to capitalize on the notions outlined above, the evaluation timeframe will need to stretch over the medium- to long-term to measure impact over time. Finally, the evaluability assessment shall be supplemented by various aspects of cost/benefit analysis to strengthen policy advocacy.
