    Background
    FHI 360 is responding to the humanitarian crisis in the Tigray, Amhara, and Afar regions of Ethiopia by implementing an integrated health, nutrition, protection, and WASH program. In June 2023, the Integrated Services for Humanitarian Implementation – Northern Ethiopia (ISHI-NE-II) project received second round funding for a 12-month program from the Bureau of Humanitarian Assistance (BHA), for implementation period June 23, 2023 to June 22, 2024. The main objective of ISHI-NE - II is to improve the well-being of conflict-affected and displaced populations through an integrated, multi-sectoral response. To achieve this goal, FHI 360 is providing an integrated package of emergency response services consisting of primary health care through static and mobile support, emergency nutrition support to pregnant and lactating women and children under five years of age, improvements to water supply and adequate means of sanitation at the community and facility level, and protection support for children, women, and vulnerable populations. Since the start of the project, the ISHI-NE-II project has actively engaged with relevant stakeholders, such as the host government, other partner organizations, the United Nations, regional clusters, and community leaders and members to ensure the project effectively delivers project activities through collaborative and sustainable methods. In doing so, FHI 360 has successfully accessed hard-to-reach areas and provided life-saving provisions to the most impacted IDPs, host communities, and returnees.
    Scope of Work
    FHI 360 is seeking a consultant to lead a final evaluation for the ISHI-NE-II project to assess how effective the program was at meeting its overall objective in Tigray, Amhara and Afar. The consultant will oversee all data collection and analysis activities, train data enumerators, perform checks on collected data, coordinate the data analysis process, lead the report writing, manage the evaluation process, and facilitate a reflection workshop on the evaluation findings and lessons learned.
    Specifically, the evaluation will seek to answer the following questions:
    Did ISHI-NE-II reach the appropriate target groups and individuals within the target areas?
    How were the different needs of conflict-affected communities integrated into the design?
    How were the different needs of conflict-affected communities integrated into the implementation of the project?
    Did ISHI-NE-II adapt appropriately and promptly to changing contexts and needs?
    What changes took place in the project implementation that differed from the original design?
    What major achievements has the ISHI-NE-II project achieved concerning the initially planned outcomes and stated objectives?
    What were the main factors for success or failure that impacted FHI 360’s achievement of project activities?
    Which aspects of project sector integration were the strongest or weakest?
    Based on ISHI-NE’s project implementation strategies regarding integration and
    coordination, what recommendations does the project have in the future?
    Is there a need to change strategies laid out in the theory of change? If yes, what are the suggested changes based on the lessons learned from project implementation?
    What are the major challenges and setbacks the ISHI-NE-II project faced? What strategies did the ISHI-NE-II project execute to address the significant challenges?
    The objective of the final evaluation is to assess the overall implementation and achievement of the ISHI-NE-II project against its stated objectives and outcomes. This evaluation intends to provide information on the project's relevance, effectiveness, integration, and lessons learned in Tigray, Amhara and Afar regions.
    Specific objectives of final evaluation include:
    To assess the project’s performance against the expected outputs and outcomes.
    To compare the results of the endline indicators to the baseline results.
    To identify key strengths, gaps, and lessons learned in the project design and implementation.
    To generate recommendations to strengthen future program activities based on lessons learned and successes from the ISHI-NE-II project.
    The evaluation should furthermore contribute to learning by understanding what have been the factors that made possible or created obstacles to the achievement of results (their focus is therefore on why, not only on what); and by identifying any key lessons that would lead to improved future interventions in the country/region/sector of operation and/or elsewhere.
    Deliverables
    The consultant/firm will lead the final evaluation data collection, analysis, and reporting for the Project. The consultant will undertake field travel to Selected woredas of Eastern and Central Tigray, Waghimra and North Wollo Zones of Amhara region and Zone 2 of Afar Region. The Endline survey will be conducted in seven sampled woredas (Tigray 04, Amhara 02, Afar 01) and four IDP (Tigray 03, Amhara 01) sites. The selection of the Woredas followed purposive sampling techniques considering the location and similar context of woredas, number of targeted woredas by zone, level of sectoral integration and security/accessibility to woredas.
    The consultant is responsible for the planning, implementing, and overall coordination of the assessment, including survey logistics and timeliness, training data collectors and supervisors, monitoring progress and supervising fieldwork. The consultant is expected to deliver the following major assignments in the consultancy period:
    A robust and sound technical proposal. The technical proposal shall include: -

    Background
    FHI 360 is responding to the humanitarian crisis in the Tigray, Amhara, and Afar regions of Ethiopia by implementing an integrated health, nutrition, protection, and WASH program. In June 2023, the Integrated Services for Humanitarian Implementation – Northern Ethiopia (ISHI-NE-II) project received second round funding for a 12-month program from the Bureau of Humanitarian Assistance (BHA), for implementation period June 23, 2023 to June 22, 2024. The main objective of ISHI-NE - II is to improve the well-being of conflict-affected and displaced populations through an integrated, multi-sectoral response. To achieve this goal, FHI 360 is providing an integrated package of emergency response services consisting of primary health care through static and mobile support, emergency nutrition support to pregnant and lactating women and children under five years of age, improvements to water supply and adequate means of sanitation at the community and facility level, and protection support for children, women, and vulnerable populations. Since the start of the project, the ISHI-NE-II project has actively engaged with relevant stakeholders, such as the host government, other partner organizations, the United Nations, regional clusters, and community leaders and members to ensure the project effectively delivers project activities through collaborative and sustainable methods. In doing so, FHI 360 has successfully accessed hard-to-reach areas and provided life-saving provisions to the most impacted IDPs, host communities, and returnees.
    Scope of Work
    FHI 360 is seeking a consultant to lead a final evaluation for the ISHI-NE-II project to assess how effective the program was at meeting its overall objective in Tigray, Amhara and Afar. The consultant will oversee all data collection and analysis activities, train data enumerators, perform checks on collected data, coordinate the data analysis process, lead the report writing, manage the evaluation process, and facilitate a reflection workshop on the evaluation findings and lessons learned.
    Specifically, the evaluation will seek to answer the following questions:
    Did ISHI-NE-II reach the appropriate target groups and individuals within the target areas?
    How were the different needs of conflict-affected communities integrated into the design?
    How were the different needs of conflict-affected communities integrated into the implementation of the project?
    Did ISHI-NE-II adapt appropriately and promptly to changing contexts and needs?
    What changes took place in the project implementation that differed from the original design?
    What major achievements has the ISHI-NE-II project achieved concerning the initially planned outcomes and stated objectives?
    What were the main factors for success or failure that impacted FHI 360’s achievement of project activities?
    Which aspects of project sector integration were the strongest or weakest?
    Based on ISHI-NE’s project implementation strategies regarding integration and
    coordination, what recommendations does the project have in the future?
    Is there a need to change strategies laid out in the theory of change? If yes, what are the suggested changes based on the lessons learned from project implementation?
    What are the major challenges and setbacks the ISHI-NE-II project faced? What strategies did the ISHI-NE-II project execute to address the significant challenges?
    The objective of the final evaluation is to assess the overall implementation and achievement of the ISHI-NE-II project against its stated objectives and outcomes. This evaluation intends to provide information on the project's relevance, effectiveness, integration, and lessons learned in Tigray, Amhara and Afar regions.
    Specific objectives of final evaluation include:
    To assess the project’s performance against the expected outputs and outcomes.
    To compare the results of the endline indicators to the baseline results.

Pricing should be provided in Excel format unless otherwise specified. Quote Validity: The Consultant agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 30 days from the date specified for the receipt of offers unless another time is specified in the addendum of the RFP. Background FHI 360 is responding to the humanitarian crisis in the Tigray, Amhara, and Afar regions of Ethiopia by implementing an integrated health, nutrition, protection, and WASH program. In June 2023, the Integrated Services for Humanitarian Implementation – Northern Ethiopia (ISHI-NE-II) project received second round funding for a 12-month program from the Bureau of Humanitarian Assistance (BHA), for implementation period June 23, 2023 to June 22, 2024. The main objective of ISHI-NE - II is to improve the well-being of conflict-affected and displaced populations through an integrated, multi-sectoral response. To achieve this goal, FHI 360 is providing an integrated package of emergency response services consisting of primary health care through static and mobile support, emergency nutrition support to pregnant and lactating women and children under five years of age, improvements to water supply and adequate means of sanitation at the community and facility level, and protection support for children, women, and vulnerable populations. Since the start of the project, the ISHI-NE-II project has actively engaged with relevant stakeholders, such as the host government, other partner organizations, the United Nations, regional clusters, and community leaders and members to ensure the project effectively delivers project activities through collaborative and sustainable methods. In doing so, FHI 360 has successfully accessed hard-to-reach areas and provided life-saving provisions to the most impacted IDPs, host communities, and returnees. Scope of Work FHI 360 is seeking a consultant to lead a final evaluation for the ISHI-NE-II project to assess how effective the program was at meeting its overall objective in Tigray, Amhara and Afar. The consultant will oversee all data collection and analysis activities, train data enumerators, perform checks on collected data, coordinate the data analysis process, lead the report writing, manage the evaluation process, and facilitate a reflection workshop on the evaluation findings and lessons learned. Specifically, the evaluation will seek to answer the following questions: Did ISHI-NE-II reach the appropriate target groups and individuals within the target areas? How were the different needs of conflict-affected communities integrated into the design? How were the different needs of conflict-affected communities integrated into the implementation of the project? Did ISHI-NE-II adapt appropriately and promptly to changing contexts and needs? What changes took place in the project implementation that differed from the original design? What major achievements has the ISHI-NE-II project achieved concerning the initially planned outcomes and stated objectives? What were the main factors for success or failure that impacted FHI 360’s achievement of project activities? Which aspects of project sector integration were the strongest or weakest? Based on ISHI-NE’s project implementation strategies regarding integration and coordination, what recommendations does the project have in the future? Is there a need to change strategies laid out in the theory of change? If yes, what are the suggested changes based on the lessons learned from project implementation? What are the major challenges and setbacks the ISHI-NE-II project faced? What strategies did the ISHI-NE-II project execute to address the significant challenges? The objective of the final evaluation is to assess the overall implementation and achievement of the ISHI-NE-II project against its stated objectives and outcomes. This evaluation intends to provide information on the project's relevance, effectiveness, integration, and lessons learned in Tigray, Amhara and Afar regions. Specific objectives of final evaluation include: To assess the project’s performance against the expected outputs and outcomes. To compare the results of the endline indicators to the baseline results. To identify key strengths, gaps, and lessons learned in the project design and implementation. To generate recommendations to strengthen future program activities based on lessons learned and successes from the ISHI-NE-II project. The evaluation should furthermore contribute to learning by understanding what have been the factors that made possible or created obstacles to the achievement of results (their focus is therefore on why, not only on what); and by identifying any key lessons that would lead to improved future interventions in the country/region/sector of operation and/or elsewhere.
