Save the Children
Background on Save the Children Save the Children is the leading global independent organisation for children. Save the Children believes every child deserves a future. Around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We ensure children’s unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach. We do whatever it takes for children – every day and in times of crisis – transforming their lives and the future we share. Our vision: A world in which every child attains the right to survival, protection, development and participation. Our mission: To inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children, and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives. Our values: Accountability, ambition, collaboration, creativity and integrity. We are committed to ensuring our resources are used as efficiently as possible, in order to focus them on achieving maximum impact for children. Background information/context Over the past years, the world has witnessed record levels of mixed migration, mainly originating from and hosted within developing countries. Individuals and families migrate for a variety of reasons. Some choose to leave to seek education and employment opportunities or to escape poverty, while many are forced to leave their homes, fleeing natural disasters, conflicts and violence, discrimination or persecution. An unprecedented 79.5 million individuals were forcibly displaced as of the end of 2019, with 30-34 million estimated to be children and tens of thousands of them unaccompanied. Whatever the reason for their journey, migrating children - especially those traveling alone - find themselves extremely vulnerable to a variety of risks, including physical and sexual violence, exploitation and abuse. They often lack the means to protect themselves, meet their basic needs and maintain their dignity. A range of social, physical, organizational and legal barriers also prevent many children and youth on the move from accessing the assistance they need. In many Eastern Africa countries, child protection legislation fails to consider the specific vulnerabilities of, and provide adequate protection to, children on the move. Save the Children is implementing “East African Migration Routes” project. The project is a 10-year initiative funded by Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) with the overall goal for the countries along the East African Migration Routes to have child-protection policies and adequate organizational capacities to ensure protection and enable self-reliance of children and youth in vulnerable displacement situations. The project has been implemented in three countries: Ethiopia, Sudan, and Egypt. In Ethiopia, the project targets vulnerable children, defined as under 18 years of age, and youth, defined as 15-24 years of age, on the move. Specifically, to migrant children and youth who are often the most vulnerable to abuse and exploitation.  That include hard to reach migrant children and youth (including those potentially to engage in risky onward/ cross boarder irregular migration), unaccompanied, unregistered, migrant children and youth living and/or involved in street work, trafficked children, and youth; refugee children and youth who are at high risk of or engaged in risking onward migration (crossing borders). The project is designed to address extreme risks and high protection concerns; unmet needs and lack of continuum of service along the route; poor policies and lack of capacities and coordination. SCI would be able to provide on the move and at-risk host communities along the route with information and skills critical as empowerment tool, enabling them to become agents of their own protection and reliance (Outcome 1). Through Outcome 2, SCI will contribute to ensuring that existing services are adequate, reinforce each other and are contextualized to respond to the changing needs of boys and girls on the move, at different stages of their journey. By working at the macro level with a focus on policies and practices, as well as ensuring the voices of young migrants and refugees are heard, Outcome 3 will contribute to putting the needs of children on the move on the political agenda and influence decision makers. Positive steps taken by governments – to a) align their policies and practices with relevant international and regional frameworks; b) recognise and address specific vulnerabilities of children on the move; and c) strengthen cross-border mechanisms – are expected to provide an enabling environment for safer child migration, as well as for improved cross border coordination between duty bearers over the long term. Outcome 4 will serve to generate evidence and recommendations to inform Swiss government decision-making processes that could further influence international and national policy agenda on the protection of children and youth in vulnerable displacement situations. In Addis Ababa for sub cities and four woredas were targeted. Namely, Gulele subcity, woreda 06, Kolfe Keranio Sub city woreda 01, Nifas Silk Lafto Sub city woreda 12, and Bole sub city woreda 01. In Metema area, Genda Wuha woreda, Metemma Yohannes and Metema town zuria woredas in West Gonder Zone of Amhara Region were targeted. Interventions undertaken in major project outcomes, focused on Outreach intervention Case Management, Referral Mechanisms, Economic Support, System Strengthening and Policy Engagement. As part of program evidence generation on the overall architecture of the EAMR project implementation, Save the Children has planned to undertake a best practices and cases stories (lessons learnt) generation and documentation to inform next project/ program design.  This term of reference (ToR) is, therefore prepared to commission a local consultant to undertake a best practice/ lesson learnt documentation regarding the East African Migration (EAMR) project. Objective •To develop the project successes, lessons, and best practices for learning and sharing with the entire program stakeholder, beneficiaries, including donors and speculating the theory change of the project implementation. In addition the following specific objectives need to be focused: •To review completed assessments/research/studies and develop them into learning briefs aligned to key result areas of the project. •To capture key footage and interviews on thematic topics, relating to the project and showcasing the key project success stories and produce a short documentary film 3-5 minutes on the programs implemented. •To review the existing success stories and case studies for improvement and consolidation with the new documentation •To speculate theory of change of the project implementation. Location and official travel involved The project has been implemented in Addis Ababa in four sub cities and Amhara Region/Metema: Gulele woreda 01, Kolfe Keranio Woreda 01, Nifas Silk Lafto woreda 12, and Bole sub city woreda 01. In Amhara region, Genda wuha woreda, Metemma Yohannes and Metema town are the target areas. Thus it is required to practically document lessons learned, case stories and best practices at the stated localities. Services the Supplier will provide The following are the expected deliverables: Develop a three-page brief for EAMR Project that highlights major achievement/succ Produce a high-quality documentary running for 3-5 minutes. Three (3) case studies from the existing pool that have been reviewed and aligned to the project components. Four (4) success stories from the selected project component activities Develop a three-page brief for EAMR Project that highlights major achievement/successes..Find the detail with the linkToR East African Migration Routes Project
