How can you make a difference?

Technical guidance should result in elaboration of viable project design and workplan to test normative/per capita financing in planning and budgeting of social service delivery at the municipality level/by selected service-provider organization in main types of settings, i.e. rural, urban and peri-urban. The latter is to contribute to the design of integrated and barrier-free community-based basic guaranteed service delivery.

Background

For many years, absence of systemic social service delivery remains one of the key bottlenecks in improving effective support to vulnerable people in the country. Vulnerable children and their families, persons with disabilities, elderly citizens, homeless etc. have been repeatedly prioritized in the state and sectoral policies and strategies, however they still do not enjoy even guaranteed minimum level of social protection. Social service (SS) as a public policy/programme and instrument is not fully codified. Though SS is declared in the normative framework, they are not part of government register/list of neither public, nor municipal services. Absence in the list literally means there is no methodology and related act(s) how to cost and budget SS. The latter makes SS inexistent for the Ministry of Finance (MF), and reiterates back& force referral to/from the Ministry of Labor and Social Development.

Complexity is aggravated by unfinished decentralization agenda, difference between ‘de jure’ and ‘de-facto’ in handling social issues at the local level, input-based budgeting. In such situation, residential institutions flourish, number of children, persons with disabilities in public care grows, state budget is used inefficiently. Still, topic is high on policy agenda and public discourse, and remains relevant to numerous stakeholders with different motivation and level of competence.

In such a situation, a most suitable approach to overcome the impasse is the generation of evidence bases empirical findings. Empirical findings will be generated throughout planning cycle. Entry point with multiple effect(s) might be approbation of the methodology of normative financing [available in UNICEF], verified by experts and community of practice, competent and experienced central and local officials and validated by sustainable NGOs providing services. Another catalytic factor might to be recently launched government-led progressive reform to automate business processes of registration and other public and municipal services. To assess how the above described complexity, reform initiatives and normative provisions might be pull together for breakthrough in SS delivery, expert consultancy is required.

Scope of work and key tasks:

Scope of work will be geared towards local solutions, such as viable model delivering integrated community-based social services. Integration areas and sequencing are to be defined with local authorities. It might be initially linked to early interventions and/or with ECD. Defining workable governance model will help to test the most effective means of delivering social guarantees to under-served children and their families, other vulnerable groups.

3. Review of clustered minimum social services which might be provided at the local level and codify them as per current normative requirements (standards).

4. Review findings of local social planning completed in selected municipalities of Bishkek and guide mapping of vulnerable groups and services in selected new settlements of Bishkek (GPI) for design of testing/ approbation;

5. Review existing list of guaranteed minimum social services (Regulation No 255) and register/list of state/public and municipal services. Propose/draft justification narrative, arguments and recommendations on inclusion of guaranteed minimum social service in the register/list of state/public services. Provide inputs for their proper codification, i.e. draft technical reglament (sort of SOP) as state/public service in social service delivery;

6. Based on previous UNICEF-commissioned analyses and compilation of various financial normatives/norms for SS provision used by service-providers’ institutions under Ministry of Health (MoH), Ministry of Education& Science MES), Ministry of Labour and Social Development (MLSD), local governments, NGOs and individuals (meals norms, setting wage bill etc). In cooperation with focal point form Ministry of Finance, MLSD and national expert formulate recommendations for streamlining costing norms towards per capita financing;

7. Visit one sample of each typical settings, i.e. rural/rural remote, urban and peri-urban with numerous social issues [locations will be identified in consultation with MLSD] and document the findings through a standard survey form;

8. Formulate draft design of approbation/testing/appraisal of normative financing within local (strategic) planning cycle (1) and/or annual budgeting, needs assessment and related planning processes for social service delivery (2);

9. Conduct validation roundtable meeting where draft design of testing/appraisal will be presented;

10. Based on results of the validation meeting, finalize testing design and prepare action plan with outline and sample of appraisal reporting documentation;

11. Monitor implementation of the testing (at least one in-country site(s) visit);

Third Party Monitoring Services in selected regions of Somalia

Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS) -Somalia Office

June 2018

Date: June 25^th 2018

Background

The Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS) based in Mogadishu is implementing an emergency program in Somalia that aims at addressing the humanitarian situation in Somalia caused by the drought and at providing integrated multi-sectoral humanitarian relief assistance in the sectors of food security, nutrition, Wash, health and protection with a focus on displaced and local populations and vulnerable groups (women, minorities, children, etc) in the following regions of Somalia: Toghdeer, Sool, Mudug, Middle Shabelle, Lower Shabelle and Lower Juba. The program is carried out in collaboration with four Civil Society Organizations selected in accordance with AICS terms and conditions for the assignment of humanitarian aid projects on the bilateral channel to non-profit entities. The projects will have a duration of six months, starting from June 15^th and lasting up to December 15^th 2018.

The program is in line with the strategic priorities identified in the AICS three-year strategic document 2016 - 2018, based on the continuous assistance provided by the Italian Cooperation to the populations victims of humanitarian crises both of human and natural origin, in order to protect life and safeguard the dignity of the people. In particular, this program is part of the "recovery and rehabilitation" phase for the restoration of socio-economic and security conditions, with initiatives managed by CSOs present in the areas hit by the crisis.

Direct beneficiaries of this initiative will be residents and displaced populations affected by drought, with particular attention to the most vulnerable groups exposed to the effects of famine, such as women, children, teenagers, the disabled, etc. The indirect beneficiaries will be the families and the communities in which the interventions will take place. Among these we can also include the local authorities with whom the activities will be agreed and implemented, thanks to the action of institutional strengthening caused by their involvement

Rationale

Due to the volatile security conditions on the ground and the consequent lack of access for AICS staff to project locations, it was decided to use the service of an external monitoring agency/company to ensure that activities, outputs and impact of projects are properly monitored during the implementation phase. External monitoring will also aim to provide AICS with important information for the understanding of the project implementation processes, the identification of possible challenges and for the application of corrective measures.

Objectives of Monitoring Service

The main objective of the monitoring service is to determine projects implementation status based on individual organizations’ work plan and validation of activities delivered by implementing partners. It will also help AICS identify the overall baseline for the program and sound indicators for the program general and specific objectives.

1.Background and context

DRC has been providing relief and development services in the Horn of Africa since 1997. Using a human rights framework, the DRC East Africa and Yemen (EAY) operation focuses mainly on people who are affected by displacement, including refugees, internally displaced and migrants in Kenya, Somalia, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Uganda, Tanzania and Yemen. The EAY Regional office also supports non-operational initiatives, focusing on mixed migration issues, civil society engagement, and advocacy and policy initiatives related to displacement.

DRC/DDG is among the INGOs with the largest presence in Somalia, with initiatives in all Federal Member States. Because we are there, DRC/DDG is able to respond rapidly and flexibly to recurrent crises and the needs of Somalis who are affected by humanitarian crises. DRC/DDG supports refugees, migrants, internally displaced populations and other persons affected by crises in both urban and rural settings. DRC/DDG implements activities in Somalia in the following sectors: WASH, Shelter and Non Food Items (NFIs), Protection, Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL), Mine Action and Armed Violence Reduction (AVR).

As part of the “Promoting Durable Solutions through Integrated Return, Reintegration and Resilience Support to Somali Displacement-Affected Populations” project funded by DANIDA, DDG will work to support displacement-affected communities to reduce risk of being victims of explosive remnants of war (ERW) or unexploded ordnance (UXO). In addition, DDG is also implementing an additional DANIDA funded project focused on raising awareness of ERW’s and UXO’s in four locations in Somalia and building comprehensive Mine Risk Education programs to educate peri-urban populations in South Central Somalia on how to avoid, report, and stay safe in high risk areas.

2.Purpose

The objective of the KAP survey is to provide information at the local level on knowledge, attitudes and practices people have towards landmines and Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) to identify critical needs for risk education according to geographic areas and target groups. More specifically, the KAP survey aimed at understanding the humanitarian impact of landmines/ERW and to identify gaps in risk education among displacement-affected communities in Baidoa, Dollow, Kismayo and Mogadishu.

By undertaking a KAP survey and having a throughout analysis of the results and recommendations, DDG expects to deliver a more targeted support, and be able to adjust approaches and interventions according to the needs of the population and provide recommendations towards the sustainability as well as to expand the knowledge base in Somalia and improve the long-term effectiveness of Mine Risk Education (MRE) intervention initiatives.

The specific objectives of this survey are:

• To measure (a) knowledge of children and their families (b) attitudes to the problem, and (c) practices, in terms of their stated behaviour towards explosive hazards;
• To better understand the socio-cultural and socioeconomic factors that influence the risk-taking behaviour of those living in affected communities;
• To produce recommendations for tailored and appropriate risk education methodologies and messages for different demographics of the target population
• To establish a baseline against which DRC/DDG can measure the results of risk education
• To support evidence-based programming for MRE interventions in Somalia.

At a strategic level the KAP survey results will also contribute to stabilisation and the provision of humanitarian assistance in South-Central Somalia by helping to ensure at-risk groups i) have the knowledge and skills to protect themselves from landmines/ERW.

3.Responsibilities

3.1 Methodology :

The final methodology (including sampling) should be developed by the consultant, but it is encouraged that KAP survey be a cross-analysis of secondary data and primary data collected through mix-method research (qualitative and quantitative).
