Organization: Adeso
Country: Somalia
Closing date: 07 Feb 2014

ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXTAdeso is an expanding and vibrant African based international development and humanitarian organization. At Adeso, we work with African communities who are yet to realize their full potential; working inside these communities to create environments in which Africans can thrive. Our belief that economic, social and environmental security is the bedrock of a healthy community drives the nature and intent of our programming. We work to prevent and overcome situations that adversely affect community well-being by: reinvigorating the economy, developing skills for life and work, providing humanitarian aid, and influencing policy.For the past 20 years we have strengthened rural livelihoods through environmental awareness, training, technology transfer and innovative humanitarian projects in pursuit of a peaceful, self-reliant, and greener future. Currently, Adeso has programs in Somalia, Kenya and South Sudan.

Adeso is an exciting and dynamic organization experiencing managed rapid growth. It offers sound employment conditions with opportunities for personal growth and development. PROJECT SUMMARYCash Assistance and Recovery Support Project (CARSP) aims to reduce community vulnerability to chronic food insecurity in Lower juba, Mudug, Sanaag and Bari regions of Somalia The project is targeting an estimated 11,500 households distributed by region as follows; Lower Juba - 2,500, Sanaag - 2,500, Mudug - 2,000 and Bari - 1,000. The project will use a number of approaches to ensure that it reaches the most vulnerable members to receive unconditional cash transfers, farm tools, storage equipments and seeds suitable for use in their respective agro-ecological zones for agro pastoralists’ beneficiaries and milking utensils and special feed, mineral supplements and forage for pastoralists beneficiaries.The vulnerability criteria will include households identified as having a ‘poor’ average food consumption score Index (CSI), and households identified as having employed negative coping mechanisms in the past 7 days. The project will deliberately target female-headed households and emphasize interventions specific to women as an integral part of the project strategy since previous experience has proven that targeting women help the entire household and particularly the children more than targeting men.

The project intervention strategy is three pronged. First, it will employ the Inclusive Community Based Targeting (ICBT) methodology which engages the targeted community to ensure fair representation and public auditing of the beneficiary selection process. ICBT has been used by Adeso in the Somalia context extensively and successfully in previous interventions. The process of ICBT includes community mobilization, community-based selection of beneficiaries, public verification and validation of the beneficiary list and establishing a Village Relief Committee (VRC) to ensure full community participation.

Second, the project design and delivery process is sensitive to the needs of the most vulnerable groups in terms of access, gender inclusion and safety and security thus will ensure the VRC is created through open nomination and selection by community members, ensuring representation of all sectors and interest groups. Third, Adeso has an established beneficiary response mechanism to get feedback from the disadvantaged groups, such as children, women, people with disabilities, and the elderly. The monthly monitoring process will include collection and disaggregation of beneficiary numbers by age, sex and disability, to monitor whether the expected proportion of each target group is included among those accessing support.

OBJECTIVE OF THE ASSIGNMENTThe assignment is to carry out a comprehensive baseline survey in the project areas of Lower juba, Mudug, Sanaag and Bari regions of Somalia to generate first-hand information to be used for Project Planning Monitoring and Evaluation.SCOPE OF WORKDesk ReviewReview of existing secondary information and reports relevant to the project will be done. This will provide an analysis and discussion of facts and data within the assignment context. The literature will include among others Project proposal, Project Log frame; Adeso Cash guidelines and other relevant literature as will be found necessary by the consultant. Survey DesignWith the facilitation of CARSP staff and Adeso M&E Officer develop a participatory design where the main project stakeholders will be involved to give their input and views in the survey process. The data collection tools to be used should capture crosscutting issues particularly gender and accountability, to the extent possible. The tools developed will be pre-tested to ensure that enumerators and the study population alike have the same understanding of the study topics, and revised based on identified shortcomings. This also includes translation of the study tools into Somali language where necessary. Sampling PlanThe project target areas have been clustered geographically into four regions (Lower Juba, Bari, Sanaag and Mudug) which the survey is expected to observe. Samples will be drawn from each of the districts in proportion with the size of the population through use of the Proportional Probability to Size (PPS) sampling technique. This technique is proposed for this study as it is most useful when the sampling units vary considerably in size as it assures that those in larger regions have the same probability of getting into the sample as those in smaller regions, and vice versa. This method will also facilitate easier planning for fieldwork because of the pre-determined number of respondents to be interviewed in each unit selected, and enumerators can be allocated accordingly.As highlighted previously, the qualitative study will use participatory assessment tools such as focus group discussions. This will require that questions and tools used in the survey are open-ended to allow the collection of descriptive and detailed information from respondents. The qualitative component of the survey will provide a detailed understanding of food security and livelihoods and cash intervention issues and problems faced by communities in target areas. It will also complement/supplement the quantitative survey particularly addressing issues that were not collected at the household level.Data Collection and AnalysisField data collection will be implemented by enumerators selected from regionss of origin. This will give the exercise the credibility it requires for wider acceptance of the survey findings by the community. It is proposed that Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) be used to enter and analyze data. However, the consultant will decide which statistical software to use for data analysis. A data mask will be developed for entering the completed questionnaires after finalization, following pre-testing. Enumerators will be trained on how to collect and analyze data at field level to build capacity at that level. A combined analysis will be done for the collected data to allow program level conclusions to be drawn.Presentation of survey findingsThe consultant will be responsible for writing the survey report working closely with Adeso team. The report will document findings and provide a benchmark for measuring outcomes of Project interventions. Deliverables1. Inception Report: includes initial work plan and proposal for the baseline survey outlining the proposed methodology, survey tools, process of data collection and analysis as well as final set of data-collection tools for all indicators in the log frame.2. Draft report of the baseline survey for the feedback and comments from Adeso Project staff3. Presentation on the main findings of the baseline assessment at field level involving project teams, community representatives and local authorities.4. Final report (three hard copies and a soft copy on CD ROM) in English not exceeding a length of 35 pages (excluding annexes) which includes:a) Summary;b) Introduction;c) Methodology;d) Findings of the baseline study. Baseline information per indicator shall be presented;e) Conclusions and recommendations as per the program’s outcomes, outputs, activities,f) and indicators;g) Electronic annexes with the site-by-site raw data used for the analysis.5. Summary version of the final report to be shared with project communities.

Background
The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) has been operating in the Middle East and North Africa for over a decade, running a combination of livelihood, protection, advocacy and relief projects. DRC has seven project offices throughout Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Tunisia/Libya, oPt and a country/regional office in Amman, Jordan. The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) started working in Iraq in 2003 and is currently operating programmes all around Iraq, involving around 150 national staff and 10 internationals staff. The Iraq project has developed over the last years from a project focusing on direct assistance to one that includes a strong emphasis on capacity development within Protection, Livelihood (Early Economic Recovery), Shelter, WASH and Capacity Building.

The 3 years AusAID funded project strategy relies on a complementary approach, addressing directly the needs of the targeted population whilst simultaneously developing the willingness of duty-bearers and civil society stakeholders to meet these needs in the long term. The project has three (3) main objectives as follows:

1. To create a sustainable environment conducive to enhanced quality and increased availability of Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) for Extremely Vulnerable Head of Households (EVHH).
2. To ensure that TVET leads to sustainable Income Generation (IG) for EVHHs.
3. To strengthen state willingness and capacity to respond to the TVET needs of EVHHs.

Purpose of the consultancy: DRC in Iraq commenced the implementation of an AusAID funded livelihoods project in April 2012. The project aims at training 1,400 beneficiaries over a three years period in five (5) governorates of Iraq, namely; Baghdad, Basra, Diyalla, Missan and Ninewa.

Country: South Sudan (Republic of)
Closing date: 13 Sep 2013

Background and Context****Through its years of operations in South Sudan, SCI’s nutrition programmes have significantly improved the nutrition status of women, children and their families and have recorded significant gains in expanding nutrition programme coverage and responsiveness. Currently, through multiple funding sources, SCI supports 23 sites providing community-based management of acute malnutrition (CMAM) and plans to extend CMAM throughout the SCI-support network of primary health care facilities. Save the Children implement multi-sectoral intervention including health, nutrition, food security, education, child protection and emergency program in the target communities.

Targets Counties

a) Akobo County

The GAM rate of 25.7% (95%CI: 21.8-30.0) and SAM rate of 4.8% (95%CI: 3.1-7.5) for the county indicate a critical nutrition situation. These findings indicate a sustained nutrition situation from the March 2012 and Dec 2012 assessments. However, the respective Crude and under five death rates of 0.36 (95% CI: 0.18-0.73) and 0.60 (95%CI; 0.17-2.06) reported rates within acceptable range according to WHO thresholds. Compared to the mortality situation reported in the same period last year, there has been a significant improvement from the CMR of 4.22 and U5MR of 3.02 reported in the SMART survey conducted in Akobo county same season last year.

Child nutrition status as per the result indicate that the prevalence of malnutrition vary significantly by age. GAM reduces by nearly 20 percentage points between the 6-17 (37.0%) and the 30-41 (17.0%) and the 54-59 (17.0%) age groups. Sevee acute malnutrition is also higher among the younger age group, double the rates reported among the older age groups. This information is crucial because it provides vital data on which age group is most affected and to be targeted with food security, nutrition and health interventions. Specifically, this information suggest that the greatest window of opportunity to correct malnutrition and enhance child health and survival could be obtained by targeting the children below 30 months of age and also the care giver practices for children in this age group.

Analysis indicate that child morbidity was high in this population with 2 in every 3 children (71.7%) having reported some sort of illness 2 weeks prior to the assessment. In order to establish likely link between the nutrition outcome and the morbidity rates, association analysis was conducted which revealed that child illness is a significant contributing factor to acute malnutrition in this population {OR=1.8 (1.15-3.06)}. The odds ratio indicate that those who were reportedly ill two weeks prior to the assessment, were nearly two times likely to be malnourished than those who were not ill during the same period. Nearly a third of the children reported diarrhea and this could be associated with poor hygiene and suboptimal environmental factors that predispose children to increased disease incidence. Poor waste disposal(80% using bush) and lack of treatment of drinking water (88.8% not applying any treatment method) are likely causes of diarrhea related cases reported in the study. Although infant and young children feeding were sub-optimal, analysis did not reveal any significant relationship between nutrition outcome and the IYCF indicators.

Underweight (24.1%) and stunting (13.1%) malnutrition reported serious and alert levels respectively among the child population in Akobo county. These levels are consistent with the trends seen in many parts of South Sudan where acute malnutrition has consistently been showing critical levels hence is more of a public health concern among the young children than the other anthropometric indicators.

Also of concern is that majority of households in Akobo County spend over 50% of their income on food coupled with the fact that a good percentage of them rely on food purchases. Household food security is therefore a likely concern in this population. Additionally, displacements caused by frequent conflicts between the Nuers and Murles have also had a bearing on food security due to disruption of farming activities as well market activities. This is estimated to have undermined a section of the population’s ability to embark on their farming activities hence affecting their household food security situation. As recent as February 2013, an attack around Pibor led to displacement of population from Nyandit payam which led to IDP situation around Akobo town increasing the population’s vulnerability.

In conclusion the nutrition situation in Akobo County is critical (>15% according to WHO thresholds) and a major public health concern, with very concerning rates of severe acute malnutrition, more particular in the younger age group, hence should be targeted with key interventions to correct and possibly reverse the undesirable effects of malnutrition on children. Morbidity is a major driving factor of malnutrition in this population and therefore more need to be done to contain the rampant health problems through improved health services. Additionally, of immediate concern would be to identify and treat the malnourished cases in the community by strengthening the existing feeding programme.

b) Nyirol County

In 2013 April the prevalence of Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) for Nyirol County was 26.9% (95%CI: 22.9-31.4), and the severe acute malnutrition (SAM) rate (WHZ<-3 or oedema) was 7.1% (95%CI: 5.2-9.5), including one (0.2%) oedema case. The index of dispersion for WHZ<-3 was higher than 1 indicating possible clustering of SAM cases with 40% of the cases reported in 5 clusters that also reported high morbidity rates. Boys and girls were equally malnourished. The results of the nutrition assessment in Nyirol County indicated GAM and SAM rates that are critically above the emergency levels of 15% and 1% respectively according to WHO classification, and a sustained nutrition situation from the March 2012 situation when GAM and SAM rates of 23.9% (95%CI: 19.1-29.5) and 4.7% (95%CI: 2.6-8.1) were reported respectively. The Crude mortality rate (CMR) and under five mortality rate (U5MR) of 1.25 (95% CI: 0.83-1.87) and 2.29 (95%CI; 1.38-3.77) were recorded respectively. Both CMR and U5MR rates were also above the WHO’s alert thresholds of 1/10,000/day and 2/10,000/day respectively and a sustained situation from the CMR of 1.65 (95%CI: 1.12-2.43) and U5MR of 2.74 (95%CI: 1.51-4.95) reported in the SMART survey in the same population the previous year. Most deaths among adults and children over 5 years were due to violence/physical injuries (21.2%) reflecting the outcome of cattle rustling and tribal clashes that affected some of the villages assessed. Diarrhea also contributes to most of the deaths both among children below five years (35.7%) and among the older children and adults. Morbidity also contributed to acute malnutrition and is associated with poor drinking water quality, poor sanitation and hygienic practices reported in the assessment.

High prevalence of morbidity was reported in the assessment. The percentage of children who had reportedly suffered from one or more communicable childhood diseases in the two weeks prior to the assessment was 44.6%. About 46% of the reported illness was diarrhea; 27.5% of the children who fell ill had fever while 13.9% had cough. Low immunization and vitamin A status was reported with only 11.4% having received vitamin A supplementation, and 26.3% of the children (9-59 months) having received measles vaccine in the previous 6 months. Although a high proportion (84.1%) of children continued breastfeeding at 12-15 months, only 11.3% were exclusively breastfed.

In conclusion the nutrition situation in Nyirol County is critically above the emergency threshold, with very concerning rates of severe acute malnutrition, crude and under five mortality rates. Even though the key underlying factors affecting the nutritional status of the children i.e. morbidity, poor child care, lack of safe drinking water and limited sanitation and hygiene facilities remain key risk factors, it is important to note that food insecurity is also currently a critical factor affecting the nutrition status of the population. Increased food prices (with majority of the households currently relying on purchase of food as their main source), leading to reduced quantity and diversity of foods consumed are contributing factors to the current poor nutrition status among the assessed Nyirol population.

c) Kapoeta North

A SMART Nutrition survey conducted in March 2013 revealed the prevalence of GAM and SAM among children6-59 months of age based on WHO 2006 standards were 16.6% (95% C.I: 13.3 – 20.5) and 3.8% (95% C.I: 2.4 – 5.8) respectively. Both GAM and SAM were higher than the emergency thresholds.

The observed CMR and U5MR (0.27 and 0.90 deaths per 10000 people per day) were much lower than previously reported. This may be explained partly by increased vitamin A and measles vaccination and reduced morbidity in the period of the survey. The intense health and nutrition intervention project currently undertaken by SCI may have in part contributed to reduced mortality and increased coverage of vitamin A and measles vaccination. However, it is noteworthy that vitamin A and measles coverage are both below the recommended threshold (80%). It is likely that the figures for mortality observed here would be much higher during the rainy season as observed in the previous surveys. Poor hygiene, sanitation and poor health seeking behavior all lead to increased morbidity, hence higher death rates. One key cause of error in estimating death rate is the tendency for interviewers to forget to specify the recall period (ie 90 days). In the current survey, specifying the recall period was heavily emphasized to avoid capturing of general deaths that might have occurred in the history of the HH.

While the rate of breastfeeding was high (99%), only 49.5% of infants were exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months of life. This is below the standard threshold of 80% for exclusive breastfeeding. This is likely to lead high morbidity as observed due to unhygienic conditions during food preparation. Prevalence of timely initiation of breastfeeding with 1 hour of birth was sub-optimal (34%). The high rate of introduction of liquids within the first three days of life (27.7%) is not in tandem with recommendations for exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of life. Cow’s milk, plain water and water with salt were the frequently provided fluids. Focus group discussion (FGD) with mothers revealed that lack of breast milk, early subsequent pregnancy, breast disease and heavy workload for women were potential key hindrances to optimal breastfeeding.

The timing of the introduction and quality of complementary foods are key determinants of infant growth and health. It is recommended that complementary foods are introduced at six months of age, when breast milk alone is no longer adequate for the child’s growth. Young children need at least four meals per day, as they are not able to absorb larger quantities of nutrients in fewer meals. Additionally, children need to be fed on complementary foods made from diverse foodstuffs that provide a variety of nutrients.

About 80% of infants and young children 6-23.9 months of age [n= 400, 81%] were fed on complementary foods before attaining 6 months of age. Only half of the children [n=120, 51.1%] start complementary food at 6 months of their age. In 1.4% of the cases, complementary foods were introduced later than 7 months of age. According to focus group discussion results, mothers exclusively breastfeed beyond six months due to lack alternative food to give to the child. The use of Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) was negligible as only 1.2% of the mothers reported using this life saving intervention.

Dietary diversity is considered adequate when a child consumes food from four or more food groups. Only 9% (n=44) of the children 6-23.9 months consumed a minimum diversified diet. Cereals were the predominant food group at 23.1% (n=114). Consumption of legumes, fish and meat were negligible. Surprisingly, only 2% of all the infants were reported to have consumed milk the previous day despite the presence of livestock. This may be explained by the fact that cattle were still away in cattle camps at the time of the survey. FGD results showed that porridge from sorghum or cereal flour from relief agencies is the most common food for infants. Only 6.9% of infants were reported to have eaten at least 3 times the day prior to the survey. This means the minimum meal frequency of at least 3 is not met in this population. This result agrees with the finding that 95% of the HH reported to have gone without food in the last month preceding the survey.

About 50% of mothers reduced fluid consumption when their child fell sick. Similarly, almost 56% of mothers reduced amount of food when the child was sick. It is recommended that mothers practice responsive feeding especially when their children become ill and to increase fluid intake and increase feeding frequency.

Why the survey:

Following the above survey results for 2013 pre harvest, there is need to monitor the Post and Pre harvest community Nutrition Status. This will indicate progress and impact of the Current interventions in the three counties. This survey TOR will be reviewed in September.

1. Background

UNICEF Somalia Support Centre is the agency of the United Nations mandated to advocate for the protection of children’s rights, to help meet their basic needs and to expand their opportunities to reach their full potential. For UNICEF to effectively expand its procurement activities in Somalia, a more substantial supplier base must be established to ensure fair competition. This market survey is to locate those manufacturers/suppliers that are able, willing and financially capable in supplying those commodities to Somalia according to the requested specifications from UNICEF Somalia Office. These potential manufacturers/suppliers should be capable, both technically and financially and have useful production facilities, warehousing including well established quality control system. UNICEF therefore seeks the services of a consultancy firm to conduct a comprehensive market survey for sourcing and identification of potential manufacturers/suppliers in Dubai. UNICEF’s preference is to procure directly from manufacturers and authorized representative and/or dealers. Therefore, to the greatest extent possible, UNICEF shall endeavour to obtain competitive bids from suppliers as follows:

(a) As first preference, from manufacturers of goods required or, in the case of services, the service provider;

(b) As second preference, and in recognition of the fact that manufacturers may not always be at liberty to deal directly with UNICEF due to the existence of legally binding geographic distribution agreements with third parties, from authorized distributors of a manufacturers goods/services.

(c) As a third preference, wholesalers or traders, in case of:

Neither the manufacturer nor authorized distributors are interested in selling to UNICEF;The requirement involves a wide range of products/service, which no manufacturer can provide; orRequirement includes set packing of a wide range of products.

1. UNICEF Requirements

2.1 For the contractor to be able to effectively evaluate suppliers, these must submit the following documents:

• Completed UNICEF Supplier Profile Form
• Company Profile which should include:
• company structure
• number and type of employees
• if manufacturer, site of factory
• monthly and annual production capacity (for manufacturers only).
• description of quality control systems applied
• copy of ISO certification if available.
• Audited Financial Statement, if available.
• Certificate of Incorporation (if applicable)
• Any other licenses or authorizations issued by the appropriate government authority to operate a business in Dubai and locations of Somalia
• At least three references of major customers/clients
• Contractor must accept UNICEF’s general terms and conditions
• Contractor must have sufficient financial resources to maintain its business between Dubai and Somalia

1. Justification

Dubai being the ‘Trading Hub’ and with its strategic location at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, makes it in a to service Somalia and access a diverse range of markets spanning the Middle East, North and South Africa, the Asia Pacific. The market survey in Dubai will help sourcing and identification of suppliers, how they run their business, warehousing facilities, etc. It will also help to know the source of commodities and whether it will have impact on the timely clearance of the commodities or delays in delivery of final manufactured product to UNICEF in emergency situations where speedy delivery is a crucial factor. Some suppliers use others as sub-contractors and sometimes some form a group of companies complementing each other. The process of assessing the suppliers should help to determine whether it is a weakness or it supports expediting the local procurement process. However the overall process is required in order to minimize the risk of financial losses, and at the same time ensure stable delivery of supplies by the suppliers.

1. Main Tasks
