Organization: Solidarités International
Country: Afghanistan
Closing date: 11 Oct 2013

MISSION

Solidarités International is an international humanitarian organization which provides aid and assistance to victims of war or natural disaster. For over 30 years the association has focused on meeting three vital needs – water, food and shelter – by carrying out emergency programmes followed by longer-term reconstruction projects. Whilst fully respecting the assisted populations’ customs and culture, Solidarités International’s programmes are implemented through the joint expertise of around 200 expatriates and 1500 local managerial staff and employees. Solidarités International is currently present in Africa (Central African Republic, South Sudan, Kenya, Somalia, Mali, Niger, Mauritania, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast), in Asia (Afghanistan, Thailand, Bangladesh, Myanmar and Pakistan), in the Middle East (Syria and Lebanon) and in Haiti.

SI has been present in Afghanistan for 32 years. Our team in Afghanistan currently includes 19 international staff and 170 national employees, at field and coordination levels, working on six different bases in three Provinces: Kabul, Bamyan and Samangan. Our programmes reached 344,600 beneficiaries in 2012. Our current activities include the prevention of both sudden and slow-onset crises through WASH, Food Security and Emergency Response Programmes

Ruy-e-Doab district of Samangan Province is part of what is commonly referred to as the Central Highlands. These mountainous areas in the centre of the country are well known for their harsh and erratic environment, the scarcity of their natural resources (land and water) and the difficulties their populations face in terms of access and communication. Farming and cattle breeding are the main livelihoods in the area. Lack of proper utilisation of the irrigated land potential, problems of access and availability to agriculture and livestock inputs and services, obsolete know-how and great lack of access to improved farming and cattle breeding practices have made of Ruy-e-Doab a chronically food insecure area

SI has been accompanying the population of the district for ten years, implementing emergency and early recovery activities in the field of food security.

Today, Ruy-e-Doab situation can be depicted as a post-crisis one with the prevalence of structural deficits impeding a sustainable improvement of the populations’ food security. This makes of the area a textbook case for the LRRD approach aiming at the enhancement and stabilisation of the livelihoods of communities suffering from food insecurity

The overall objective of the action, titled “Moving forward from a post-crisis situation in Ruy-e-Doab District, by increasing and stabilising food security of the rural population” is to sustainably improve the food security of vulnerable population facing a post crisis situation in remote areas of Samangan Province. The project implementation started in May 2010 and will end in November 2013. The programme has involved the following activities:

i) The implementation of 22 Small Scale Irrigation Projects (SSIP) applying a participatory approach. These projects were very successful and the methodology has to be extended to other areas of RDB.ii) The improvement of the availability of good quality wheat seeds through the provision of support to seeds growers.iii) The improvement of threshing and ploughing servicesiv) The support to the Basic Veterinary Workers networkv) The provision of training about good practices to Progressive Relay Farmers (PRF)vi) The development of alternative livelihoods.

While approaching the final stages of the LRRD programme, SI plans to conduct a final evaluation of the achievements and impact of the activities implemented in Ruy-e-Doab District.

Specific objective:

To evaluate the achievements of the LRRD programme based on the indicators listed in the project proposal, and suggest a list of lessons learned and recommendations for the benefit of future SI programmes.

Expected Results:

1. A detailed assessment concerning the completion of activities and the fulfilment of the programme indicators is provided.
2. Recommendations are produced on how to improve the relevance of future, similar programmes.
3. Recommendations are produced on how to improve the efficiency of future, similar programmes.

PROFILE :

• Significant experience in Food Security and Rural Development Projects
• Significant experience in Project Evaluation and Monitoring
• Fluent in English (spoken and good analytical and redaction skills)
• Adaptability to work in remote areas
• Knowledge of the Afghan context will be highly appreciated (especially rural areas such as Central Highlands)
