Details
Mission and Objectives:

• UNDP is the United Nations largest agency with a mandate to eradicate poverty, through sustainable and inclusive human development. UNDP has been in Nigeria since the country became independent in 1960 providing capacity building and policy development support to the Federal Government of Nigeria in areas of Governance & Peace Building, Inclusive growth, and Sustainable Development.
• UNDP continues to support the government in the implementation of development interventions aimed at meeting medium to long term goals enshrined in National and Subnational development plans as well as the Sustainable Development Goals.
• The goal of UNDP is to improve the lives of the people of Nigeria, especially the poorest and most vulnerable, and to ensure a future that offers equality, dignity, and opportunity for all. UNDP works in partnership with the federal Government of Nigeria, development partners, UN agencies, civil society and local communities to help identify local solutions to meet global and national development challenges through a range of interventions that combine UNDP’s expertise and comparative advantage in the areas of Governance & Peace Building, Inclusive growth and Sustainable Development.

Context

• The insurgency driven conflict in the Lake Chad Basin, including Northeast of Nigeria has been longstanding and has caused undesirable consequences in terms of loss of lives, created multi-tiered intergenerational grievances, destroyed socio-cultural and socio-economic systems, and remains a threat to immediate, medium and long-term transformation of the affected territories in Nigeria, including Borno, Adamawa and Yobe States. Borno has seen a significantly higher impact and the insurgency there has gone through a variety of phases and is marked by cycles that are connected with several factors.
• By 2021 and into 2022, the insurgency in Northeast of Nigeria had taken an unprecedented turn leading to large number of individuals exiting the conflict and presenting themselves to security authorities, largely in Borno State, but also in neighboring countries.
• Moreover, sustaining this momentum of exits presents challenges to effective process of their handling and in treatment of the individuals as is led by government authorities and in ensuring their reintegration into communities amidst an ongoing conflict, an internal displacement situation and significant intergenerational grievances stemming from the longstanding conflict.
• As a response to the mass exits, in November 2021, the State Government of Borno, passed a “Policy on Community-Based Reconciliation and Reintegration” premised on the Vision for long term transformation of the State to contribute to peace and stability. Additionally, the Borno State Government has developed and is implementing the ‘Borno Model’.
• This is a state-led programme for integrated management of those that have exited the insurgency and includes key community level interventions aligned with the CBRR approach on a community-oriented reintegration process while at the same time incorporating targeted reconciliation, healing and long-term transformation perspectives. It is also aligned with the regional priorities under the Regional Stabilization Strategy for the Lake Chad Basin.
• UNDP is supporting the Federal and State Government to make operational these approaches as aligned with implementation of the Regional Stabilisation Facility – Nigeria window, which is operating in some of the locations that have been identified for reintegration. This at the same time supporting alignment with the national/international principles and UNDP policy orientations for effective implementation of community-based reconciliation and reintegration.
• Given this context, UNDP seeks to engage (3) Community Mobilization Officers to work with UNDP and the Borno State Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development in data collection, consolidation, monitoring, follow-up, community mobilization, and any other tasks assigned that are aligned to the implementation of core components of the Borno State Policy on Community Based Reconciliation and Reintegration.

Job Title: Consultant – Monitoring & Evaluation and Learning Assessment of ‘From Response to Resilience in Maiduguri’

Background of the Project

• In partnership with the European Commission of Humanitarian Aid Operation (ECHO), IRC’s Governance sector is implementing a project titled “From Response to Resilience (R2R)”in Maiduguri, Borno State. The project seeks to empower local authorities and three local communities to jointly prepare them for and respond to risks associated with natural and man-made hazards.
• In collaboration with local communities and local authorities, the project created and is partially implementing Neighborhood Resilience Plans to help reduce these risks and ensure that the neighborhoods are better able to adapt and grow in the face of hazards.
• R2R seeks to address three interlinked problems: (1) the need for state and local authorities to plan for and manage urban risk, (2) the need to enhance community structures and civil society coordination’s opportunities to engage state and local authorities and hold them to account, and (3) the need to link up neighborhood-grounded and data-driven initiatives which are inclusive of urban displaced communities with community engagement strategies and city-wide capacities for resilience.
• Project staffs have collaborated closely with state and local authorities and local communities to strengthen their capacities to plan for and participate in inclusive, coordinated, and actioned disaster risk reduction plans that address these three interlinked problems.  The timeline for this project is May 2019 to April 2022.

Purpose of Consultancy

• The purpose of this consultancy is to design and implement the monitoring, evaluation, and learning assessment of “From Response to Resilience in Maiduguri”, as the project nears the competition of a nearly 3-year implementation period on April 30th, 2022.
• This evaluation should build from previous data collection and analysis to assess the uptake of knowledge and positive practices for shock response and disaster recovery.
• IRC is also seeking to understand the effectiveness of the project’s innovative area-based approaches and potential applicability to additional locations in Maiduguri and Northeast Nigeria.

Scope of Work
Desk Review:

• Review of ECHO R2R project proposal and MEAL requirements, including initial project terms of references and donor-approved outcome level indicators.
• Desk review of existing IMPACT Initiatives evaluation documents and learnings to date, including the research design, data & processing, and outputs for the following assessments: Neighbourhood Delineation (Oct 2019 – Dec 2019), Vulnerability, Needs, and Service Assessments (January 2020 – April 2020), and Durable Solutions Analysis (March 2021 – January 2022).

• Through participatory infrastructure mapping approaches, map critical services and infrastructure changes in targeted locations. Use of GIS is suggested.
• Execute stakeholder analysis detailing perceptions of the effectiveness of the area-based approach activities implemented within the project.  Activities evaluated should include: (1) the City-Level Collaboration Forum, Neighborhood Working Groups, and Community Review Forums; (2) capacity strengthening approaches with state and local authorities to build capacity for inclusive planning, coordination, and action; (3) capacity strengthening approaches with community leaders and representatives to lead and manage risks within their own neighborhood; and (4) actions that strengthen joint planning, coordination, and action between communities and authorities.
• Assess the potential of scaling up area-based approaches to other neighborhoods across Maiduguri and throughout Northeast Nigeria, by identifying the action’s strengths, weaknesses and limitations. The effectiveness of the approach will be measured through key informant interviews with relevant stakeholders and end-line community engagement mechanisms, such as surveys, FGDs, or town halls.
