Addis Ababa, Ethiopia International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) Organization: International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas Country: Ethiopia, Kenya, Mali, Niger, United Republic of Tanzania Closing date: 22 Jun 2018 Terms of Reference Mid-term Evaluation of EU-IFAD Grant Restoration of degraded land for food security and poverty reduction in East Africa and the Sahel: taking successes in land restoration to scale Period 2015-2017 Acronyms EU - European Union ICARDA - International Center for Agricultural Research in Dry Areas ICRAF - International Centre for Research in Agroforestry ICRISAT - International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics IEA - Independent Evaluation Arrangement IFAD - International Fund for Agricultural Development ILRI - International Livestock Research Institute QA - Quality Assurance TOR - Terms of Reference Introduction The International Center for Agricultural Research in Dry Areas (ICARDA) will commission a mid-term evaluation of the project Restoration of degraded land for food security and poverty reduction in East Africa and the Sahel: taking successes in land restoration to scale. The International Centre for Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF) implements the project together with ICARDA the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) and the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI). This evaluation aims to provide accountability and learning to the project stakeholders. Context and Project Background Land degradation currently affects over 40% of the world’s land resources, negatively impacting ecosystems and their ability to sustain productivity. Restoration of degraded land can be a key pathway to achieving food security and exiting poverty for some of the most vulnerable people living in Africa’s drylands. In order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN, successful restoration efforts need to be taken to scale, both reaching a larger number of farmers and covering larger areas (millions of hectares) over the coming decade. This research aims at transformative outcomes by placing farmers at the center of land restoration efforts. The major challenge when scaling land restoration interventions is to adapt them to the wide range of ecological, economic, sociological and institutional contexts that exist across scales, from individual households to villages and landscapes. While specific technical interventions to restore degraded land may in themselves be simple, selecting, adapting and combining solutions to suit local contexts that will facilitate wide scale adoption, requires innovative new ways of engaging farmers and other stakeholders. This report documents significant advances in measuring performance of restoration options across contexts, revealing how appropriate, locally adapted options can impact food security and farm incomes and how different options are suitable for different farmers. The European Union (EU)-funded grant (2000000976), which started in May 2016, and the complementing International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD)-funded grant (2000000520) that started in March 2015 aim to address these challenges. The overarching goal of the combined grants is to reduce food insecurity and improve livelihoods of poor people living in African drylands by restoring degraded land, and returning it to effective and sustainable tree, crop and livestock production, thereby increasing land profitability and landscape and livelihood resilience. This project is developing innovative ways to achieve scaling by adopting a co-learning approach that accelerates development impact by embedding research in development initiatives where research methods are applied to document and monitor the experiences of farmers and then adapt technologies to the context of the farmers. This approach puts the farmer at the center of the implementation of key innovations to restore degraded land and increase food security, income generation and nutrition. Through this project, over 6,000 farming households are involved in evaluating land restoration options on their farms, including options for soil and water conservation, tree establishment, post-harvest pest and disease control, community-based rangeland management and farmer managed natural regeneration (FMNR) with in-situ grafting and micro-dosing of mineral and farmyard manure on their farms. The evaluations are done through structured co-learning amongst nested communities of practice that bring farmers, community facilitators, NGO and government extension staff, private sector actors and researchers together, to share knowledge and experience about what works, where and for whom on the ground. This represents a key change in the way development initiatives are implemented, giving a larger role to farmers in selecting and adapting options for scaling up and evaluating their performance. At the same time, structured dialogue helps development actors and researchers understand each other’s needs and expectations, leading to generation of timely research outputs that are incorporated in the development cycle. Furthermore, the project monitors interactions amongst research and development partners, allowing us to track the way research results and tools are being used by stakeholders. There was significant progress toward all project outputs, which is summarized in the latest technical report submitted to the Donors on March 2018. Rationale and objectives The progress documented so far and the project potential call for an independent mid-term evaluation to assess the project effectiveness and potential areas to strengths. The evaluation has two objectives (Accountability and Learning). This process aims to assess what has been achieved in terms of performance and effectiveness (accountability) and describe reasons behind the achieved results and consolidate lessons learnt and best practices for the remaining period of the project. The learning process should continue during the project implementation and be consolidated at the end of the project implementation. Stakeholders The evaluation should consider players in the project. The initial list presented (Annex 1) may be expanded before the interviews and focus groups. Internal: Project Management Unit at HQ level, first tier partners (CGIAR Centers) focal point in the implementation sites. External: Farmers (particularly women) to understand how the project succeeded in increasing their capacities and understanding. They will provide feedback in terms of success stories, failures and suggestions for improvements. Partners with formal or informal agreements with any of the first tier partners. This includes contacts with ongoing development projects implemented in the same locations and the relevant development partners implementing them. Linked projects are important to demonstrate the comparative advantage and synergies developed with the project. Partners include the private sector representatives. Project Steering Committee Members and Donors in their advisory role. Scope The evaluation will focus on project performance and effectiveness of the project team including key project scientists, representatives of collaborating institutions, and a nominee from EU-IFAD. The evaluation will refer to the period from 2015 to 2017. While the geographical scope covers all the project areas the actual fieldwork of the consultant will be limited to few sites selected using appropriate criteria. Guidance documents are the IFAD Evaluation Policy and Manual[1]. Evaluation Questions This document provides a set of initial evaluation questions along the IFAD evaluation criteria. The selected evaluator will refine them (based on the specific project objectives) during the inception phase. Rural poverty impact Ø Has the initiative had the anticipated impact on the target group? Ø To what extent have beneficiary incomes changed as a result of the project? Ø In what way have household net assets changed due to the intervention? Ø What changes have taken place in household food security and nutrition and what explains such changes? Project performance (relevance, effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability of benefits) Ø Was the project design appropriate to meet the intervention’s objectives? Ø Was the project adjusted during implementation to any changes in context to retain continued relevance? Ø To what extent have the objectives of the project and its components been attained in quantitative and in qualitative terms?

Ø What are the total project management costs in relation to total project costs and how do they compare with similar projects? Ø Do project activities benefited from the engagement, participation and ownership of local communities, grass-roots organizations and the rural poor, and are adopted approaches technically viable? Ø Is there a clear indication of government commitment after the project closing date, for example, in terms of provision of funds for selected activities, human resources availability, continuity of pro- poor policies and participatory development approaches, and institutional support? Ø What are the chances that benefits generated by the project will continue after project closure and what is the likely resilience of economic activities to post-project risks? Gender equality and women’s empowerment Ø What were the project’s achievements in terms of promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment? Ø What percentage of total project resources was invested in activities to promote gender equality and women’s empowerment and how does that compare with other projects funded by IFAD? Ø To what extent did the project define and monitor sex-disaggregated results to ensure that gender equality and women’s empowerment objectives were being met? Ø Was the project implementation structure adequate to support effective implementation of gender equality and women’s empowerment goals? Innovation and scaling up Ø What are the characteristics of innovation(s) promoted by the intervention? Ø Are the innovations consistent with the IFAD definition of this concept? Ø Are the actions in question truly innovative or are they well-established elsewhere but new to the country or project area? Ø Have grants been used to promote innovation? Ø What evidence was used to justify scaling up, and were successfully promoted innovations documented and shared to facilitate scaling up? Ø Has IFAD proactively engaged in partnership-building and policy dialogue to facilitate the uptake of successful innovations? Ø Based on the information available, have these innovations been scaled up and, if so, by whom? If not, what are the prospects at the time of evaluation that they can and will be scaled up by the government, other donors and/or the private sector? What were/are the pathways to scaling up? Environment and natural resources management Ø To what extent did the project adopt approaches/measures for restoration or sustainable management of natural resources? Ø To what extent did the project develop the capacity of community groups and institutions to manage environmental risks? Ø To what extent did the project contribute to reducing the environmental vulnerability of the community and built resilience for sustainable natural resource management that contribute to poverty reduction? Ø To what extent did the project contribute to long-term environmental and social sustainability; and by empowering and strengthening the capacity of community-based natural resource management groups to ensure sustainable natural resources management; and by ensuring strong stakeholder engagement, especially of vulnerable groups, in decision making affecting natural resources use? Ø To what extent did the project follow required environmental and social risk assessment procedures, including meaningful consultation with affected and vulnerable communities, and have complied with applicable IFAD or national environmental and social standards or norms, to ensure any harmful impacts are avoided or managed/mitigated through, where needed, the implementation of effective environmental and social management plans, including robust monitoring and supervision? Adaptation to climate change Ø To what extent did the project demonstrate awareness and analysis of current and future climate risks? Ø What are the amounts and nature of funds allocated to adaptation to climate change-related risks? Ø What were the most important factors that helped the rural poor to restore the natural resource and environment base that (may) have been affected by climate change? Partnership Ø Have the governments assumed ownership and responsibility for the project? Judging by its actions and policies, has the government been fully supportive of project goals? Ø During implementation did the governments and steering committee: (i) take the initiative to suitably modify the project design (if required); (ii) take prompt action to ensure the timely implementation of recommendations from supervision and implementation support missions? Ø Did the M&E system generate information on performance and impact, which is useful for project managers, and has appropriate action been taken on the basis of this information? Ø In what way has the Project Team facilitated the participation of NGOs and civil society, where appropriate, and what were the implications?

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Ethiopia Intern for Regional Programme for Africa Location : Addis Ababa, ETHIOPIA Application Deadline : 17-Jun-18 (Midnight New York, USA) Time left : 11d 23h 18m Type of Contract : Internship Post Level : Intern Languages Required : English   Duration of Initial Contract : 3 to 6 months   Background The Regional Programme for Africa is a flagship programme for UNDP that responds to challenges and opportunities facing the African Continent and to the priorities and aspirations of Africa as articulated by the African Union and other regional organs. These are convergent with the vision, areas of work and guiding principles of the UNDP strategic plan, 2014-2017, and the directions of the quadrennial comprehensive policy review. The programme builds on the successes and responds to the lessons from past cooperation, with special attention to programme focus and effective engagement with the African Union and the regional economic communities through the development of long-term strategic partnerships.  Underpinned by African ownership and leadership and cognizant of the rich diversity of the continent, UNDP regional work is based on five mutually reinforcing rationality principles, which define the added value of regional or sub-regional approaches to addressing development challenges. These are: (a) promotion of regional public goods and services, based on strengthened regional cooperation and integration; (b) management of cross-border externalities (challenges and opportunities) and spill-overs – such as trade, the environment and conflict prevention  that are best addressed collaboratively on an inter-country basis; (c) advancement of awareness, dialogue and action on sensitive and or emerging development issues that benefit strongly from multi-country and regional experiences and perspectives; (d) promotion of experimentation and innovation to overcome institutional, financial and/or informational barriers that may be too high for an individual country to surmount; and (e) generation and sharing of development knowledge, experience and expertise – for instance, through South-South and triangular cooperation – so that countries can connect to, and benefit from, relevant experiences from across the region and beyond. In all this, UNDP will make South-South and triangular cooperation core ways of working in the regional programme, to buttress inter-country initiatives that accelerate regional integration in Africa. The Regional Programme contributes directly to the UNDP Strategic Plan by focusing on two outcome areas: (i) accelerate structural transformations for sustainable development (Outcome 2), and (ii) build resilience to shocks and crisis (Outcome 3). The three priority areas/outcomes of the Regional Programme are:  Outcome 1: African Union and RECs deliver on their mandate, especially cross-cutting issues related to resilience-building (SP Outcome 2); Outcome 2: Regional growth is inclusive, transformational and sustainable with reduced economic inequalities, and characterized by structural transformation (SP Outcome 2); Outcome 3: Regional institutions sustain peace and build resilience to crises and shocks (SP Outcome 3).
