Background

The Sphere Project was established in 1997, consolidating the combined experience of humanitarian practitioners committed to quality assistance and programming around the world. Since then, it has continued to evolve based on evidence and experience. A voluntary initiative reaching thousands of practitioners, Sphere has strongly contributed to moving assistance from a supply-chain and delivery-driven approach to one rooted in technical expertise and respect for the rights and dignity of those affected.

The Sphere Standards have clarified the understanding of what quality humanitarian action is, establishing a common language across the sector and contributing to its professionalization as well as to greater accountability. At a global level, Sphere has helped donors to align priorities, while local organizations and national authorities champion Sphere in their own countries as advocates for quality in preparedness and response. The Sphere Handbook has been spontaneously translated into more than 40 languages and has been adopted or endorsed by a range of national and municipal authorities, donor governments, international NGOs, national NGOs and CBOs, UN agencies, national Red Cross/Red Crescent societies, and private foundations as a gauge for quality and accountability. Sphere is frequently used to plan, design, monitor, evaluate and coordinate relief efforts as well as preparedness and recovery initiatives; importantly, it has underpinned much of the ongoing debate on humanitarian performance in field operations.

As a holistic tool, the fundamental Sphere approach is a belief that those affected by disaster or conflict have a right to life with dignity. The Humanitarian Charter establishes this legal and ethical framework, and the Protection Principles translate the framework into specific actions to ensure that assistance and protection remain equal pillars in any response. The harmonized Core Humanitarian Standard, replacing the Sphere Core Standards, describes the processes and approaches that are fundamental to a response, including commitments to accountability, participation, coordination, feedback mechanisms, continuous learning, staff support and management, and financial probity. The four sectoral Minimum Standards chapters provide universal standards, quantitative and qualitative indicators, key actions, and guidance to deliver assistance in line with the Humanitarian Charter.[1]

Given the evolution and broad institutionalization of Sphere across a diverse community of humanitarian actors and those associated with humanitarian response, and the pending revision of the Sphere Handbook from 2016, the Sphere Board has decided to review the structure, scale, and governance of the Sphere Project with a view to adapting as appropriate to the current context and scope of Sphere. As an inclusive movement with global reach, some 35 country-level focal points, and a host of associated trainers working through a vibrant yet informal network, Sphere is seeking consultant proposals to review these current structures, work with Sphere practitioners and supporters to determine options and opportunities, analyze good practice and organizational structure in the sector (and beyond), and consider how the current Sphere network may best transition into an even stronger, more robust, and inclusive network which optimizes field-based experience and learning, deep capacity building, and global advocacy on humanitarian standards, quality, and accountability.

Objectives of the study

• Review of the value add of Sphere through the tools it develops, the network it currently enables and supports, and the services provided.
• Analysis of the external environment including gaps in enabling or ensuring quality humanitarian assistance which remains based in the rights and dignity of people living in humanitarian crises.
• Consideration of how the Sphere standards can leverage experience to promote greater coherence in quality programming beyond the humanitarian sector, building on existing use in preparedness and recovery initiatives, linkages to SDGs or others.
• Feedback from Sphere practitioners to identify their priorities and opportunities to take their work to scale, and how Sphere can support them most effectively to address these at a local, national, or global level.
• Options and recommendations for Sphere’s institutional status, structure, and ways of working in relation to fulfilling any future role.

Components and Questions

The consultant will prepare four elements within this study:

1. Review Sphere with a view to its stated aims and objectives, including the Sphere 2020 Strategy, and consider to what extent its structures and working methods support realization of these.
2. Ways of working including membership, management, structure, and staffing: what supports the aim and what can be adapted to meet these objectives.
3. Board functioning, committee structures, roles and responsibilities, decision making: how do these compare with similar organizations, how they support the aims, or can be adapted.
4. Focal points and trainers: how are these structures and linkages working in support of stated aims, how can they be adapted or optimized.
5. Connectedness: the extent to which Sphere is actively placed within a context where it can leverage ownership, accountability, and responsiveness of quality standards for the humanitarian community as well as other response, recovery, risk reduction, preparedness and prevention actors.
6. External gap analysis with a view to the work of focal points (current and potential), trainers, advocates, operational agencies, donors, and national authorities who are developing greater capacity to put humanitarian principles and the range of quality standards into practice (Sphere 2020 Priority 1).
7. What do key stakeholders see as obstacles to the application and use of standards in practice? How could they be addressed with current or additional mechanisms/support?
8. What are the emerging gaps in linking with additional actors in the humanitarian space, or expanding quality standards beyond the traditional humanitarian community?
9. How do they seek potential linkages among themselves?
10. Comparative analysis of structural models and options for similar initiatives within the humanitarian sector and beyond:
11. What are the pros and cons, potential drawbacks or leverage points?
12. How have risks in these models been identified and mitigated?
13. Lessons learned, as appropriate.
14. Structure and scope of Sphere, 2016 and beyond
15. Value proposition for activities and impact, particularly in light of expected Sphere Handbook revision from 2016 and Sphere 2020 Strategy
16. Options for institutional structure which would enable Sphere to fulfill prioritized and emerging gaps in developing and applying humanitarian quality standards
17. Governance and management structure options, including possible decentralization, based on analysis of needs and good practice/learning from other organizations inside and external to the humanitarian sector
18. Consideration of financial investment and strategy

Methodology

The selected consultant will propose the methodology but it is expected to include:

• Document review of Sphere resources (2020 Strategy, Board minutes, Companion Standards minutes and consultation, notes/recommendations from 3 regional consultations of Sphere practitioners)
• Document review of similar organizations, including strategies, organizational reviews, etc.
• Stakeholder analysis
• Key informant interviews
• Online survey
• Roundtable discussion with key stakeholders
• Comparative analysis of how comparable organizations/networks are institutionally arranged, function, and are governed

Deliverables

• Inception report on methodology and presentation meeting with the Steering Committee (to be established with support of the Sphere Project office, including possible participation of NGO, UN, Board and non-Board, donor and private sector)
• Draft report for comment
• Final report of no more than 25 pages (excluding executive summary and annexes) which summarizes key findings and recommendations. Annexes may include but are not limited to: project schedule, data collection tools, list of people interviewed, list of documents reviewed.
• PowerPoint presentation of key findings and recommendations for final presentation to Steering Committee
• Final presentation to Steering Committee

The study will be developed over a period of 30 days to commence in October and be completed on or before 15 January 2016.

[1] These include WASH, Food Security and Nutrition, Shelter and non-food items, and Health. Additional sectors are covered in a similar fashion for Education, Child Protection, Livestock, and Economic Recovery through Companion standards in Education, Child Protection, Economic Recovery and Livestock.

• Detailed research plan and proposed methodology
• Examples of other evaluations or review work produced

Founded in 1962, ICVA (International Council of Voluntary Agencies) is a global network of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that work collectively and with other humanitarian stakeholders to promote and facilitate NGO engagement in the humanitarian sector and its policies.

NGOs form a vital pillar in the international humanitarian community. However, despite implementing the majority of humanitarian work, NGOs often find themselves excluded from key decision-making structures and processes. Increased NGO contribution in these structures and processes could directly benefit affected populations, closing the gap between field realities and global policies.

By strengthening NGO engagement in the development of the humanitarian sector, ICVA aims to positively shape the future of humanitarian assistance, promoting more collective, principled and effective action.

Terms of Reference for the End of Project Evaluation of “Rebuilding Futures:Provision of Quality Informal Education opportunities for Syrian Refugee children and youth in Za’atari Refugee Camp”

1. Background:

War Child UK (WCUK) is a child rights organization founded in the UK in 1993 with a vision of a world in which children’s lives are not torn apart by war. WCUK exists to support and rehabilitate child victims of war and deal with the lasting consequences of conflict by working with local communities, civil society organizations and local authorities in both conflict and post-conflict countries; ensuring sustainable security for the children; promoting livelihood opportunities and addressing the development needs of the most vulnerable and marginalized children. Currently, we work in six conflict and post-conflict countries: DRC, Uganda, Afghanistan, Jordan (Syria response), Iraq and Central African Republic.

WCUK has worked in Jordan for over two years in Za’atri camp and the host community with special focus on education and child protection.

2. Project Description:

This proposal presents a scale up of the informal education programme which War Child UK has been operating in Za’atari camp since October 2013, through collaboration with IRD and their facilities. Furthermore, it has been designed in consultation with the children and caregivers War Child UK has been working with to date in Za’atari Camp, and responds directly to the needs and recommendations arising from the aforementioned assessments. This project operates in 2 of the 12 districts of Za’atari camp; in UNESCO’s District 10 facility and in IRD’s District 7 facility and as three main components:

Result 1:

200 vulnerable Syrian refugee children receive structured informal education services

Result 2:

200 vulnerable Syrian refugee children benefit from improved access to child protection through recreational services and psychosocial support

Result 3:

Caregivers and community members benefit from strengthened psychosocial wellbeing, parenting skills and involvement in their children’s education

3. Overall Purpose of the Evaluation

The end of project evaluation shall document:

· How effective were the assumptions in the logical framework and how they can be improved in future project designs.

· The relevance and effectiveness of the approach to improving the educational status and resilience amongst the Syrian refugee children and young people.

· The relevance and effectiveness of the approach to increasing caregiver’s and the community’s involvement in their children’s education.

· Lessons learnt and proposed feasible recommendations to inform future programme design in particular with refugee children in a conflict-affected settings within War Child UK, other NGOs, donors and the government.

The evidence generated through this evaluation exercise is expected to:

· Better inform future programme design/programming with refugee children in relation to their education, protection, participation and skills-building

· Better define the educational and psychosocial needs and challenges of refugee children and the usefulness of the approach applied in this project

· Increase knowledge of stakeholders on how to improve the educational status of refugee children through using parental support, community support, etc.

· Gather data on and report to all the outcome indicators in the project log frame.

4. Scope and Focus of the Evaluation

The aim of the consultancy is to reliably evaluate the extent to which the project has achieved its expected outcomes, and identify evidence that these outcomes have contributed to the programme’s desired impact. The areas of focus would correspond with the contractual obligations with the donor, UNESCO.

The Consultant is expected to evaluate the project following the OECD DAC criteria[1]: (i) relevance; (ii) effectiveness (added value, learning and partnership approach), (iii) sustainability (iv) efficiency and value for money (v) impact. For Value for Money consider DFID’s 3E’s as the questions: Is there evidence that the following were considered -

Economy- Are we (or our agents) buying inputs of the appropriate quality at the right price?

Efficiency - How well are we (or our agents) converting inputs into outputs? (‘*Spending well’*)

Effectiveness - How well are the outputs produced by an intervention having the intended effect? (‘*Spending wisely’*);

More specifically, the consultant is expected to develop and implement a methodology that will answer the following questions besides the OECD DAC criteria (to be finalised and agreed between War Child UK, and the consultant after contract award):

Project Evaluation:

· For this project, how is educational achievement and psychosocial resilience of children affected by conflict being defined and how it can be measured in future programmes?

· Did the project reach to the most vulnerable boys and girls through its interventions?

· Is the comprehensive education and child protection approach used in this project to target boys and girls, their caretakers and community members successful? What are the strengths of an intervention with a focus on education and child protection and what are its weaknesses?

· What are the common denominators for refugee families who have been successful in education and protection activities?

· Who has benefitted (women, men, girls and boys) from the programmatic interventions and in what ways? Specifically, is there evidence that the approaches used in the project contributed[2] to improved literacy and numeracy skills? Is there evidence that the approaches used in the project contributed to increased psychosocial resilience and a reduction in conflict-related trauma?

· Has the project contributed to improving the capacity of War Child to deliver quality education and child protection programmes across the project cycle and meaningfully impact the lives of children in a camp setting?

5. Process and Methodology

This evaluation will take a course of three weeks starting 10^th of January 2016 before the project ends.
