One project of Development Cooperation of the Czech Republic, i.e. the national ODA programme (“ZRS CR” as abbreviated in Czech langugage), is to be assessed within this evaluation. This project was implemented in Ethiopia in the education sector with a geographical focus on its Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Region (“SNNPR”). Ethiopia belonged to partner countries of ZRS CR in the 2006-10 period, albeit not to its priority countries with a coherent programme of cooperation. However, as of 2010 Ethiopia has become one of priority countries of ZRS CR with a programme document being finalized for the 2011-17 period.

Project themes with funding commitments were decided upon by the Government of the Czech Republic (i.e. cabinet of ministers) in an annual Plan of ZRS CR, always approved in the year preceding the year of implementation. For the years in question, this Plan was prepared and presented to the Government by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in consultations with line ministries and the Czech Development Agency (roles of these and other stakeholders are described below).

The intervention in question was managed by Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs in cooperation with People in Need (NGO), an implementing organization identified on the basis of the Ministry’s call for proposals.

Project no. 5/2010/05 ”Support of Modern Teaching Methods Implementation in Primary, Secondary and Upper Schooling of Ethiopia”
The project was designed for 3 years, namely for the period of 2008-2010. People in Need, a Czech-based non-governmental non-profit organization, performed the role of an implementing organization having won with its project proposal in a grant selection procedure. Project activities were launched in the spring of 2008 and concluded in December 2010. The intervention logic, i.e. the project’s outputs, outcomes, indicators, etc., is outlined in a logical framework matrix and a project document in the Annexes.

Funding from the budget of International Development Cooperation of the Czech Republic: CZK 12 100 000
Funding including co-financing obtained by the implementing organization: CZK 13 245 356

The project in question, however, built upon a preceding ZRS CR project also executed by People in Need with the same thematic and similar geographic focus. The preceding project was managed by the Ministry of Education of the Czech Republic in 2003-2007 with a budget of CZK 23 million under the title of 51/03-07/MŠMT/B “Support of Modern Teaching Methods Implementation into Ethiopia’s educational system”. This project was evaluated by a joint team led by the then Development Centre , Institute of International Relations Prague (the earlier evaluation report, as well as the project document and monitoring reports, will be provided to the currently sought evaluators as part of background documents).

This evaluation is to be undertaken taking into consideration the OECD-DAC Criteria for Evaluating Development Assistance , the UNDP Evaluation Policy  and the Ethical Code of Conduct for UNDP Evaluations (see the Annexes).

This evaluation is initiated by the UNDP Regional Centre for Europe and CIS in Bratislava (hereinafter “UNDP BRC”) on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic (hereinafter “MFA CZ”).

This evaluation will be overseen by a Reference Group consisting of representatives of UNDP BRC, MFA CZ, Embassy of the Czech Republic in Addis Ababa, as well as the Czech Development Agency. Communication between the evaluators and the Reference Group will be facilitated by UNDP BRC, which will serve as a focal point during the evaluation.

The principal purpose of this evaluation is to obtain information that will guide decision-making on upcoming interventions of ZRS CR in the country and sector concerned, i.e. Ethiopia and education.

Conclusions of this evaluation will be used by MFA CZ, working together with the Czech Development Agency, as well as other members in the Council on Development Cooperation (in Czech the so-called “Rada pro ZRS”).

As regards the scope of this evaluation, evaluators are to address primarily the above-defined project of ZRS CR in Ethiopia in the timeframe of 2008-2010 and its implications for the education sector in Ethiopia in the next a few years. However, the evaluation cannot be undertaken successfully without taking into account the foundations created in the preceding project’s framework in the 2003-2007 period.

A team of independent experts will conduct the evaluation. The evaluation team will be composed of one Lead Evaluator and one Technical Consultant. The Lead Evaluator shall have prior experience in the evaluation of comparable projects or programmes.

The evaluators must be independent from both the policy-making process and the delivery and management of development assistance in question, i.e. they must not have participated in the preparation and/or implementation of the assessed projects and must not be in a conflict of interest with project-related activities. This applies equally to employers whose employees submit applications, as it does to individual evaluators.

Specifically, the Lead Evaluator cannot have been involved in the implementation of any project of Czech bilateral development cooperation undertaken in developing countries.

The Lead Evaluator will perform the following tasks:
Lead and manage the evaluation mission; Design the detailed evaluation methodology (i.e. methods to be applied for data collection and analysis) and work plan; Decide on the division of labour within the evaluation team; Communicate with the evaluation focal point on the part of UNDP BRC and incorporate/react to comments by the Reference Group, channeled via UNDP BRC; Review available documents, conduct interviews with stakeholders in the Czech Republic; Draft related parts of the Inception Report and finalize the Inception Report for submission; Draft related parts of the Evaluation Report and finalize the Evaluation Report for submission; Present key findings at an oral presentation at MFA CZ.

Throughout our 25-year history, International Medical Corps has worked in more than 50 countries in the most challenging emergency, post-conflict, and development environments. In all of our programs, we address nutrition and food security with community members to effectively build local capacity. We incorporate nutrition education into our water and sanitation projects, implement growth monitoring and malnutrition screenings at the primary health care level and work directly with local providers to ensure that healthy nutrition and food security practices will be incorporated long-term.

International Medical Corps, on behalf of C-SHIFT (Consortium for Sustainable Household Integrated Food security and nutritional Transformation), is seeking Commodities Manager candidates who are interested in being considered for a new results-oriented Title II food security and nutritional security program in Ethiopia under the Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP).

Position: Project Coordinator
Responsible To: Country Director
Location: Ginnir Town, Bale Zone, Oromiya Region, Ethiopia
Start Date: ASAP
Duration: 6 months
Salary and Benefits: ?24,600 - ?25,350 annual dependent on relevant experience
Benefits: Insurance cover, accommodation, R&R, and annual leave entitlement of 24 days per annum rising to 30 days at the completion of 12 months of continuous employment with Merlin.

Only short-listed applicants will be contacted. Due to the urgency of this position, applications will be short-listed on a regular basis and we may offer this post before the closing date.

Please note: this is an unaccompanied position.

Merlin International Profile

Merlin specialises in health, saving lives in times of crisis and helping to rebuild shattered health services. Each year, Merlin helps more than 15 million people in up to 20 countries.

Context

After years of civil war and the subsequent border war with Eritrea, Ethiopia remains one of Africa's poorest states, with a very low income per capita and a population that is almost two-thirds illiterate. The agricultural sector has suffered from frequent drought and poor cultivation practices. The devastating drought in 2003 led to widespread malnutrition and diarrhoeal disease, and resulted in more than 13 million people becoming dependent on international agencies for food. Nearly half the population of Ethiopia is without access to healthcare.

Since March 2003 Merlin has been working in Ethiopia. At that time operations were started in Oromiya Region, one of the areas worst affected by a prolonged drought. Merlin’s programs focus mainly on the provision of primary healthcare services through mobile and static clinics but include also community-based water and sanitation programs. Currently MERLIN is maintaining two interventions in the country. MERLIN’s health programs in Ethiopia are implemented in coordination with the respective Regional Health Bureaus (MoH) and non-governmental partners.

In January 2005 Merlin started an Emergency health care support project in Bale Zone, located in Oromiya Region, which is one of the poorer regions in Ethiopia and has an approximate population of more than 25 million.
Since that time Merlin continued to provide basic curative services, support the public health system and to work on improvements of the difficult water, sanitation and hygiene situation for the population.

The project covers currently nutrition support to more than 60 MoH health posts through the provision of drugs, basic equipment and capacity building of health workers in the six districts (woredas) of Ginnir, Rayitu, Sawena, Gololcha, Guaradomole and Legehida. There are currently plans to expand the project into 3 new woredas as well as new health posts in the zone while simultaneously giving greater emphasis to developing the capacity of woreda health officials to manage and supervise on-going nutritional services. This is in response to the global La Nina meteorological phenomenon that has led to a failure of the last rains and an anticipated delay in March-April rains inside an extremely food insecure area.

The Project Coordinator will be based in Ginnir town. Our current emergency nutrition intervention in Bale Zone / Oromiya Region has secured funding through April 2011, though an extension for an addition 9-12 months is anticipated.

Main Purpose of the Role

The Project Coordinator will assume overall responsibility for the project in the field. He/she will report to the Operations Coordinator based in Addis Ababa.

Objectives of Role (Scope)

• Operational management of Bale project site
• Responsibility for security in the field site
• Ensure all projects adhere to Merlin’s financial, logistical and human resource systems and procedures
• Human resource management and capacity building of national and international staff
• Represent Merlin to donors, authorities, (I)NGOs

Responsibilities

Operational Management

• Serve as the focal point at the field level for Merlin.
• Ensure collaborative stakeholder management including involving the relevant authorities, partners, elders, and local leaders in the planning and implementation of Merlin’s activities.
• Manage and supervise the overall planning and daily activities of the project.
• Monitor the evolving humanitarian situation in the project area, with timely information analyses, discussion, and action-orientated recommendations.
• Draft and supervise the development of high quality internal and donor reports, and any subsequent proposals in conjunction with the Ethiopian Project Health Coordinator (PHC).
• Ensure the project compliance to bureaucratic requirements, GoE regulations/ Laws and donor requirements

Duration of Initial Contract :

The Ethiopian Agricultural Transformation Agency (the Agency or ATA) is an initiative of the Government of Ethiopia (GOE) established by federal regulation. The primary aim of the Agency will be to promote agricultural sector transformation by supporting existing structures of government, private-sector and other non-governmental partners to address systemic bottlenecks and deliver on a priority national agenda to achieve growth and food security.

The formation of the ATA is a result of two years of extensive diagnostic study across eight sub-sectors of Ethiopia’s agricultural system in a highly-consultative, multi-stakeholder process led by the Ministry of Agriculture with the support of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Modeled after similar public-sector bodies in Asia (i.e. Taiwan, Korea, Malaysia, etc.) that played important roles in the growth of those national economies, the Agency’s structure and function is focused on nimble, innovative and results-oriented support to a range of partners in the agricultural sector.

The ATA will be led by a Chief Technical Adviser and a high-caliber staff of senior leadership. Governance will be provided by an inter-ministerial council, chaired by the Prime Minister. The Minister of Agriculture will serve as the Deputy Chair with additional representation from other relevant federal ministries and regional governments. The ATA will be headquartered in Addis Ababa with a foreseeable ad hoc and potential standing presence in the regions.

Programmatically, the ATA will focus on a set of high priority initiatives identified by the Council. There are expected to be approximately 5-6 initial areas of focus, including seeds, markets/cooperatives, technology access and adoption and extension and research. Across the thematic initiatives, the ATA engages public, private and non-governmental stakeholders to support strategic planning, manage and strengthen implementation capacity and test innovative models. The ATA will be financed by GOE and supported by a range of development partners.
