Objectives of the evaluation: The MTE is a requirement of UNDP/GEF for projects with a planned lifetime of more than 5 or 6 years. It was agreed between the project steering committee and UNDP to carry out the MTE in April 2012. The MTE will provide material for decision makers whether, and if yes, how the second 4-year phase of the project will be implemented. The specific objectives of the MTE are to:
* Identify potential project design problems
* Assess progress towards the achievement of objectives
* Identify and document lessons learned (including lessons that might improve design and implementation of other UNDP/GEF projects)
* To make recommendations regarding the second phase
* Analyze the project performance up to now in the context of the institutional framework and events in Ethiopia during the first phase
* Analyze the trigger indicators for determining the entering into the next phase
* Provide recommendations on how the second phase should be designed. Scope of the evaluation The project advises and supports EWCA and to a certain extent the regional wildlife authorities on how to strengthen and run the protected area system of Ethiopia. The emphasis of the project in the first phase is on capacity building at federal level. Thus the project has no implementing capacities of its own. It works through the respective EWCA departments. The MTE has therefore to:
* Measure to what extent the capacity building process has been successful and what capacity building support has been provided to EWCA and the regional authorities will be needed in the second phase.
* Evaluation all activities supported by UNDP/GEF and, where appropriate, activities supported by the host institutions, EWCA and Ministry of Culture and Tourism (MoCT).
* Assess activities that other cooperating partners are supporting as long as there is a direct correlation with the project.
* Review of the measures taken by the project and propose shifts in emphasis where necessary.
* Assess the framework conditions (policies, laws, regulations etc.) and comment on their impact to the tasks of the project and EWCA.
* Describe EWCA's core functions and services, and how it is organised to deliver.
* Analyse EWCA’s performance and future requirements to strengthen it. Specifically, the evaluation report should assess:
* The relevance of the project within the local, national, regional and global context. The potential sustainability of results should be addressed and strategies to improve this element suggested.
* Will make a brief analysis of the regions’ Protected Areas (PA) set up, their strengths and weaknesses, how they fit in the national context, and the project’s future role in their performance.
* An analysis needs to be provided of the co-financing in the sector, with special emphasis on its relevance, size, cooperation with EWCA and project and modes of delivery.
* Assess whether the project’s partnership strategy has been appropriate and effective including the range and quality of partnerships and collaboration developed with government, civil society, donors, the private sector and whether these have contributed to improved project delivery.
* Assess relevance, efficiency and effectiveness of the project administration
* Assess the sustainability and ownership of the project by the host organization
* Propose a design for the second phase (if there is any), including outcomes, outputs, indicators, timetable, consultancies, financing and lessons learned. Summarizing the above, the following key questions will be looked into:
* What progress toward the outcomes has been made?
* What factors have contributed to achieving or not achieving intended outcomes?
* To what extents have UNDP/GEF outputs and assistance contributed to outcomes?
* Has the project partnership strategy been appropriate and effective?
* How could the second phase of the project be designed and structured? Products Expected from the Evaluation The evaluation team will produce an evaluation reportof approximately 25 – 30 pages, excluding annexes, according to the attached detailed breakdown. The report will be in English and will be prepared and submitted in MS Word 2010, with tables in Excel where necessary.

* A draft of both of these should be submitted within two weeks of the end of data collection and meetings. The final copy will be submitted within a week of receiving written comments on the drafts.

International Consultant: Capacity Assessment OF The Gender Machinery Of The Government Of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa

INTERNATIONAL CONSULTANT: CAPACITY ASSESSMENT OF THE GENDER MACHINERY OF THE GOVERNMENT OF ETHIOPIA

Location : Addis Ababa, ETHIOPIA Application Deadline : 05-Mar-12 Additional Category Management Type of Contract : Individual Contract Post Level : International Consultant Languages Required :

English   Starting Date :

(date when the selected candidate is expected to start) 06-Mar-2012

Duration of Initial Contract : 30 working days Expected Duration of Assignment : 30 working days  

Background

A legal, administrative and policy environment conducive to promote gender equality was created over the past two decades. The most important gender and development measures taken by the government include the issuance of the National Policy on Women (1993) which aimed to “institutionalize the political and socio-economic rights of women by creating appropriate structures in government institutions.” The 1995 Constitution of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia (FDRE) recognizes the rights of women which, among others, include the right to equality and, owing to past inequality and discrimination that Ethiopian women suffered, the entitlement to affirmative measures. Other relevant measures also include the Revised Family Law (2000) and the Revised Criminal Code (2005), Ethiopian Women Development and Change Package (2006) and the National Action Plan (NAP-EG) and adoption of MDGs as guiding framework for planning.

The Ethiopian government is a signatory to most international instruments, conventions and declarations, and adopted international instruments such as; the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women /CEDAW (1979), the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women/DEVAW (1993), the Beijing Platform for Action/BPA (1995) including the domestication of the international instruments.

Ethiopia ratified and adopted the UN charter on Human Rights and other conventions, such as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) in 1981. Its outline addresses political, social, economic and legislative issues. The convention stipulates that signatories need to work for eliminating discrimination against women, and creating equality between women and men.

In terms of structure, in 1992, the GoE established the Office of Women’s Affairs (OWA) within the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO). Its mandate was coordination and facilitation of the national efforts to promote gender equality in the field of development as well as to oversee and coordinate activities for effective implementation of the NPW. The OWA was, in 2005, replaced by the Ministry of Women’s Affairs (MoWA) which assumed a broader and clearer mandate. Departments of Women Affairs (DWA) were also created across line ministries at the federal level. The DWAs had close work relations with MoWA. Corresponding institutional arrangements existed at regional level to facilitate implementation of the national policy on gender. The institutions included the Bureaus of Women’s Affairs (BoWA), the Zonal and Woreda Women’s Coordination Desks and DWAs in the regions’ sectoral line institutions.

 In 2010, the federal MoWA was once again re-structured by Proclamation No. 691/2010 with expanded mandate to encompass children and youth affairs and, hence, became the Ministry of Women, Youth and Children Affairs (MoWYCA).  Within its area of jurisdiction, the Ministry has the following powers and responsibilities (Articles 10 and 30):

Enter into contracts and international agreements in accordance with the law;Address women and youth affairs in the preparation of policies, laws and development programs and projects;Create awareness and movement on the question of women, children and youth;Collect, compile and disseminate to all stakeholders information on the objective realities faced by women, children and youth;Ensure that opportunities are created for women and the youth to actively participate in political, economic and social affairs of the country;Encourage and support women and the youth to be organized, based on their free will and needs, with a view to defending their rights and solving their problems;Design strategies to follow up and evaluate the preparation of policies, legislations, development programs and projects by federal government organs to ensure that they give due considerations to women and youth issues;Undertake studies to identify discriminatory practices affecting women, facilitate the creation of conditions for the elimination of such practices, and follow up their implementation;Devise means for the proper application of women's right to affirmative actions guaranteed at the national level and follow the implementation of same;Ensure that due attention is given to select women for decision-making positions in various government organs;Coordinate all stakeholders to protect the rights and well-being of children;Follow up the implementation of treaties relating to women and children and submit reports to the concerned bodies;Undertake capacity building activities;Provide assistance and advice to regional states, as necessary; and provide coordinated support to regional states eligible for affirmative support;

The new arrangement at the regional level is that the Bureaux of Women Affairs (BoWA) become the Bureaux of Women and Children Affairs (BoWCA) with new mandates on children issues. At the sub-regional levels, there are also corresponding institutional arrangements, i.e. the Zonal and Woreda Women and Children Affairs Offices.

 The gender institutions at various levels have developed a system of consultations, coordination and information exchange.  The regional Bureaux and the federal DWAs share their progress reports with MoWYCA. The latter provides technical feedback and support to build their capacities and mainstream gender-related planning and management. They also organize annual fora where they learn from one another and map out future directions for gender activities in Ethiopia.

 In 2010, the UN and GoE embarked on a joint programme on gender equality and women empowerment. The programme aimed to contribute around four major areas identified as key priorities, which are:

A legal, administrative and policy environment conducive to promote gender equality was created over the past two decades. The most important gender and development measures taken by the government include the issuance of the National Policy on Women (1993) which aimed to “institutionalize the political and socio-economic rights of women by creating appropriate structures in government institutions.” The 1995 Constitution of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia (FDRE) recognizes the rights of women which, among others, include the right to equality and, owing to past inequality and discrimination that Ethiopian women suffered, the entitlement to affirmative measures. Other relevant measures also include the Revised Family Law (2000) and the Revised Criminal Code (2005), Ethiopian Women Development and Change Package (2006) and the National Action Plan (NAP-EG) and adoption of MDGs as guiding framework for planning.

The Ethiopian government is a signatory to most international instruments, conventions and declarations, and adopted international instruments such as; the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women /CEDAW (1979), the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women/DEVAW (1993), the Beijing Platform for Action/BPA (1995) including the domestication of the international instruments.

Ethiopia ratified and adopted the UN charter on Human Rights and other conventions, such as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) in 1981. Its outline addresses political, social, economic and legislative issues. The convention stipulates that signatories need to work for eliminating discrimination against women, and creating equality between women and men.

In terms of structure, in 1992, the GoE established the Office of Women’s Affairs (OWA) within the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO). Its mandate was coordination and facilitation of the national efforts to promote gender equality in the field of development as well as to oversee and coordinate activities for effective implementation of the NPW. The OWA was, in 2005, replaced by the Ministry of Women’s Affairs (MoWA) which assumed a broader and clearer mandate. Departments of Women Affairs (DWA) were also created across line ministries at the federal level. The DWAs had close work relations with MoWA. Corresponding institutional arrangements existed at regional level to facilitate implementation of the national policy on gender. The institutions included the Bureaus of Women’s Affairs (BoWA), the Zonal and Woreda Women’s Coordination Desks and DWAs in the regions’ sectoral line institutions.

In 2010, the federal MoWA was once again re-structured by Proclamation No. 691/2010 with expanded mandate to encompass children and youth affairs and, hence, became the Ministry of Women, Youth and Children Affairs (MoWYCA). Within its area of jurisdiction, the Ministry has the following powers and responsibilities (Articles 10 and 30):

Enter into contracts and international agreements in accordance with the law;
Address women and youth affairs in the preparation of policies, laws and development programs and projects;
Create awareness and movement on the question of women, children and youth;
Collect, compile and disseminate to all stakeholders information on the objective realities faced by women, children and youth;
Ensure that opportunities are created for women and the youth to actively participate in political, economic and social affairs of the country;
Encourage and support women and the youth to be organized, based on their free will and needs, with a view to defending their rights and solving their problems;
Design strategies to follow up and evaluate the preparation of policies, legislations, development programs and projects by federal government organs to ensure that they give due considerations to women and youth issues;
Undertake studies to identify discriminatory practices affecting women, facilitate the creation of conditions for the elimination of such practices, and follow up their implementation;
Devise means for the proper application of women's right to affirmative actions guaranteed at the national level and follow the implementation of same;
Ensure that due attention is given to select women for decision-making positions in various government organs;
Coordinate all stakeholders to protect the rights and well-being of children;
Follow up the implementation of treaties relating to women and children and submit reports to the concerned bodies;
Undertake capacity building activities;
Provide assistance and advice to regional states, as necessary; and provide coordinated support to regional states eligible for affirmative support.

The new arrangement at the regional level is that the Bureaux of Women Affairs (BoWA) become the Bureaux of Women and Children Affairs (BoWCA) with new mandates on children issues. At the sub-regional levels, there are also corresponding institutional arrangements, i.e. the Zonal and Woreda Women and Children Affairs Offices.

The gender institutions at various levels have developed a system of consultations, coordination and information exchange. The regional Bureaux and the federal DWAs share their progress reports with MoWYCA. The latter provides technical feedback and support to build their capacities and mainstream gender-related planning and management. They also organize annual fora where they learn from one another and map out future directions for gender activities in Ethiopia.

In 2010, the UN and GoE embarked on a joint programme on gender equality and women empowerment. The programme aimed to contribute around four major areas identified as key priorities, which are:

Enhanced economic empowerment of women;
Improved access to and completion of secondary and tertiary education for girls and women;
Strengthened institutional capacity of gender mainstreaming;
Enhanced protection of girls and women’s rights.

The programme also aimed to contribute to capacity development of MoWYCA and WADs at the federal level to better access and effectively use donor resources.

As part of institutional strengthening of the gender machinery, GoE and UN would like to undertake a comprehensive capacity assessment of the Gender Machinery.

Duties and Responsibilities

The objective of the CA is to assess the integrated capacity (institutional, organizational and individual capacities) of the gender machinery at all levels to enable the GoE and UN formulate comprehensive capacity development responses. The specific purposes of this assessment include:

A legal, administrative and policy environment conducive to promote gender equality was created over the past two decades. The most important gender and development measures taken by the government include the issuance of the National Policy on Women (1993) which aimed to “institutionalize the political and socio-economic rights of women by creating appropriate structures in government institutions.” The 1995 Constitution of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia (FDRE) recognizes the rights of women which, among others, include the right to equality and, owing to past inequality and discrimination that Ethiopian women suffered, the entitlement to affirmative measures. Other relevant measures also include the Revised Family Law (2000) and the Revised Criminal Code (2005), Ethiopian Women Development and Change Package (2006) and the National Action Plan (NAP-EG) and adoption of MDGs as guiding framework for planning.

The Ethiopian government is a signatory to most international instruments, conventions and declarations, and adopted international instruments such as; the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women /CEDAW (1979), the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women/DEVAW (1993), the Beijing Platform for Action/BPA (1995) including the domestication of the international instruments.

Ethiopia ratified and adopted the UN charter on Human Rights and other conventions, such as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) in 1981. Its outline addresses political, social, economic and legislative issues. The convention stipulates that signatories need to work for eliminating discrimination against women, and creating equality between women and men.

In terms of structure, in 1992, the GoE established the Office of Women’s Affairs (OWA) within the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO). Its mandate was coordination and facilitation of the national efforts to promote gender equality in the field of development as well as to oversee and coordinate activities for effective implementation of the NPW. The OWA was, in 2005, replaced by the Ministry of Women’s Affairs (MoWA) which assumed a broader and clearer mandate. Departments of Women Affairs (DWA) were also created across line ministries at the federal level. The DWAs had close work relations with MoWA. Corresponding institutional arrangements existed at regional level to facilitate implementation of the national policy on gender. The institutions included the Bureaus of Women’s Affairs (BoWA), the Zonal and Woreda Women’s Coordination Desks and DWAs in the regions’ sectoral line institutions.
In 2010, the federal MoWA was once again re-structured by Proclamation No. 691/2010 with expanded mandate to encompass children and youth affairs and, hence, became the Ministry of Women, Youth and Children Affairs (MoWYCA). Within its area of jurisdiction, the Ministry has the following powers and responsibilities (Articles 10 and 30):

Enter into contracts and international agreements in accordance with the law;
Address women and youth affairs in the preparation of policies, laws and development programs and projects;
Create awareness and movement on the question of women, children and youth;
Collect, compile and disseminate to all stakeholders information on the objective realities faced by women, children and youth;
Ensure that opportunities are created for women and the youth to actively participate in political, economic and social affairs of the country;
Encourage and support women and the youth to be organized, based on their free will and needs, with a view to defending their rights and solving their problems;
Design strategies to follow up and evaluate the preparation of policies, legislations, development programs and projects by federal government organs to ensure that they give due considerations to women and youth issues;
Undertake studies to identify discriminatory practices affecting women, facilitate the creation of conditions for the elimination of such practices, and follow up their implementation;
Devise means for the proper application of women's right to affirmative actions guaranteed at the national level and follow the implementation of same;
Ensure that due attention is given to select women for decision-making positions in various government organs;
Coordinate all stakeholders to protect the rights and well-being of children;
Follow up the implementation of treaties relating to women and children and submit reports to the concerned bodies;
Undertake capacity building activities;
Provide assistance and advice to regional states, as necessary; and provide coordinated support to regional states eligible for affirmative support;

The new arrangement at the regional level is that the Bureaux of Women Affairs (BoWA) become the Bureaux of Women and Children Affairs (BoWCA) with new mandates on children issues. At the sub-regional levels, there are also corresponding institutional arrangements, i.e. the Zonal and Woreda Women and Children Affairs Offices.

The gender institutions at various levels have developed a system of consultations, coordination and information exchange. The regional Bureaux and the federal DWAs share their progress reports with MoWYCA. The latter provides technical feedback and support to build their capacities and mainstream gender-related planning and management. They also organize annual fora where they learn from one another and map out future directions for gender activities in Ethiopia.
In 2010, the UN and GoE embarked on a joint programme on gender equality and women empowerment. The programme aimed to contribute around four major areas identified as key priorities, which are:

1. Enhanced economic empowerment of women

2. Improved access to and completion of secondary and tertiary education for girls and women

3. Strengthened institutional capacity of gender mainstreaming

4. Enhanced protection of girls and women’s rights

The programme also aimed to contribute to capacity development of MoWYCA and WADs at the federal level to better access and effectively use donor resources.

As part of institutional strengthening of the gender machinery, GoE and UN would like to undertake a comprehensive capacity assessment of the Gender Machinery.
