Title: Cash Based Intervention Expert

Duration of assignment:4 months from 1st of November to 28th February 2015

Context

Assistance programs for refugees in Ethiopia have been predominantly providing in kind food and non-food items to refugees in all 23 (Eritreans: Adi-harush, Mai-Ayni, Shimelba and Hitsats in Shire and Aysaita and Berhale in Afar; Sudanese: Sherkole, Bambasi and Tongo in Assosa and Pungido, Dimma, Leitchor, Kule, Terkide, and Pam-don; Somalis: Awbare, Kebribeya and Sheder in Jijiga and Bokolmanyo, Melkadida, Kobe, Hilaweyn and Buramino in DolloAdo) refugee camps. During the past years with markets developing and strengthening in Ethiopia, UNHCR and other Operational partners (WFP) have been discussing various possible options of introducing cash interventions as a tool for addressing the needs of refugees and others of concern.

Both the 2011 UNHCR/WFP impact evaluation on food assistance and the 2012 joint assessment mission recommended UNHCR/WFP to explore possibilities of providing cash or vouchers. Cash-based interventions have the potential to bring protection benefits through the dignity of choice, while reducing the operational costs associated with the delivery of in-kind assistance.

A series of joint WFP-UNHCR assessments that were conducted in 2012 and included macro and micro market assessments, as well as beneficiary consultations, indicated the possibility for a pilot cash distribution. Two camps from the Somali region of Ethiopia, Sheder and Aw Barre, were selected to pilot the combined cash and in-kind food distributions. The intervention modality and camp selections were done in close consultations with the Government of Ethiopia’s refugee agency, Administration for Refugee and Returnee Affairs (ARRA). Implementation of this was initiated in the second half of 2013 and is ongoing. An additional camp was added to this pilot series in May 2014(Bambasi refugee camp).

Apart from food assistance refugees have other unmet needs that require attention. Field experience has shown that the in-kind provisions of support for refugees and persons of concern is constrained by various factors: limited capacity of acquisition of resources, context disparities of people receiving assistance, challenges of availing resources on timely basis etc. Hence, UNHCR is looking for alternative forms of assistance, such as direct engagement of refugees and other persons of concerns though direct cash transfer or voucher based assistance. Cash-based interventions are increasingly being recognized as a response modality that can help meet humanitarian needs while promoting the principles that guide the work of the UNHCR. Specifically:

· UNHCR is committed to protecting basic human rights, including the right of refugees and other persons of concern to live safely and with dignity.

· UNHCR will employ a rights and community-based approach, which is participatory and promotes self-reliance.

· UNHCR will implement interventions that respond to changing needs while drawing on refugee capacities, local resources, materials and methods (including avoiding regimented refugee settings).

The ongoing direct cash delivery program is supporting refugees in terms of accessing preferred food, dietary diversification and food consumption score. This experience coupled with the Ethiopia government cash first in humanitarian responses policy and donor interest would be an advantage for UNHCR to pilot and rollout cash/voucher based assistance for refugees and persons of concerns. Therefore, the multi factor cash assistance would bridge most of the gaps thus ensuring optimal outcomes in the health, nutrition and wellbeing of the refugees.

Scope of work and reporting structure

The scope of work of the Cash Based Intervention (CBI) Expert will be toexplore the feasibility of the expansion of CBIs to include a mixed modality (cash + in-kind) covering other unmet needs that affect the effective utilization of the food assistance provided in Ethiopia (since it is sold) and propose a practical way forward, in the form of a detailed action plan and concrete steps towards implementation (i.e. signing of contracts and agreements…), to shift to CBI. In doing so, the expert will be exploring the possibilities to implement CBI in the different sectors of intervention of UNHCR. He/she will work together with the Jijiga and Assosa sub offices where combined cash and food assistance is already in place thus the multi sector combined intervention would take a further step towards providing an expanded all round cash program. He/she will receive overall guidance and direction from the Representative and the Assistant Representative Programme, to whom he/she will report. He/she will also work in collaboration with the CBI Unit in UNHCR HQ. There will also be a link with the Regional Office in Nairobi to ensure that activities and lessons learned in the region are captured. The consultant will be based in Addis Ababa and undertake missions throughout the country as required. The consultant will be working closely with the food security focal point in Addis Ababa and training him during the consultancy to ensure the taking over after departure.

Functional Statement

Accountability (key results that will be achieved)

UNHCR Cash Based Interventions are implemented as part of a coherent response, also in partnership with WFP, in combination with other types of assistance being provided to persons of concern.CBI are designed and implemented according to UNHCR guidelines and good practice established, with the overall objective of contributing to the well-being of beneficiaries.The specific requirements of persons of concern are assessed and analysed in a participatory manner and using an Age, Gender and Diversity (AGD) perspective to form a firm basis for design, implementation and monitoring.As a result, a detailed action plan is designed for UNHCR to start implementing CBI, considering the possibility of scaling up CBIs over time.

Responsibility

Support the country office to systematically consider CBI to meet refugee needs, this includes establishing a multi-sectoral country office team that include management, programme, protection, registration, ICT, supply, admin/finance, nutrition/food security and other staff as required.Identify possible focal points in the different units that can be partially involved in the assessment as part of a learning exercise on CBI for UNHCR staff.Identify a pool of potential partners for future expansion of CBI activities and build capacity of UNHCR and potential partners to set up and run CBI.The expert will assess three camps (Awbarre, Shedder in Jijiga and Bambasi in Assosa) where the combined cash and food assistance is in place. The expanded intervention will complement this and guide the impact assessment of the multifactor cash approach. The assessment will include the following activities:Identify unmet needs in addition to the combined food and cash based intervention

-assess beneficiary preferences and any potential protection issue linked with a change in assistance modality ;

verify beneficiary physical access, to ensure that households have continuing/easy access to markets;assess the security issues linked with the CBIs to be introduced and undertake risk analysis and mitigating factors;undertake market research to assess if local markets can meet refugees’ need for goods and services including price variations and availability of basic items (food and non-food items for example, sleeping mats, jerry cans, blankets, sanitary napkins, plastic buckets, soap, mosquito nets, kettles, school uniforms…);assess the capacity, availability and willingness of retailers to use vouchers, if applicable and technological solutions for their use;assess the availability of financial systems for cash transfer (including mobile phones, microcredit institutions, banks, post offices, etc.), potential financial partners, and their capacity;assess and pre-identify implementing partners;evaluate the cost-efficiency and cost effectiveness of the possible shift from in-kind food assistance to CBI and among the different delivery mechanism.Write Standard Operating Procedures for the intervention, either UNHCR specific or in partnerships with implementing and/or operational partners, in line with UNHCR guidance and SOP templates. These should include detailed description of:targeting strategy, methodology and criteria;identification of beneficiaries, including persons with specific needs, and risk mitigation measures to ensure no exclusion;protection risk analysis and corresponding mitigation measures;Monitoring matrix including definition of data collection tools, indicators and targets to measure and analyse programme performance, trends and target interventions.

This position can be based out of New York or London.

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is one of the world’s leading humanitarian relief and development organisations. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps people survive, recover and rebuild their lives. The IRC delivers emergency aid, protects children, provides health care, prevents and responds to violence against women and girls, safeguards human rights and helps to kick-start economic recovery. Working in more than 40 countries, the IRC has restored hope and opportunity to many millions of people.

The IRC is committed to a culture of bold leadership, innovation in all aspects of our work, creative partnerships and, most crucially, accountability to those we serve. The IRC is a tireless advocate for the most vulnerable.

PROGRAMME SCOPE

IRC was one of the first humanitarian organizations to launch specific programmes for survivors of sexual violence, implementing gender-based violence (GBV) programmes in refugee settings and other conflict-affected communities from 1996. Over the past 16 years, IRC has pioneered and implemented programmes that prevent and respond to violence against women and girls in refugee settings and in other conflict-affected contexts, making the IRC a global leader in this field. IRC presently implements women’s protection and empowerment (WPE) programmes to support social and political environments that foster women’s freedom from violence, discrimination, and exclusion, allowing them to be active participants in rebuilding their countries. Today, IRC manages WPE programmes in 19 countries across Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Haiti, with funding from governments, the UN, foundations, and private donors.

IRC is seeking a Research, Monitoring and Evaluation (RM&E) Officer to work on a three-year project funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID) entitled COMPASS (Creating Opportunities through Mentorship, Parental Involvement and Safe Spaces) to improve prevention and response to violence against adolescent girls in humanitarian settings. Based either in IRC’s UK office in London, or IRC HQ in New York, the Officer will be responsible for overseeing the design and implementation of research, monitoring and evaluation of the programme in accordance with DFID regulations, IRC policies, and international standards for programming and research. The Officer will oversee the research programme including both quantitative and qualitative approaches proposed and provide technical and field support for implementation of research, monitoring, and evaluation activities, data analysis, and application of findings in coordination with technical teams. The Officer will also work with the Programme Coordinator to ensure regular updates, communication and joint planning and implementation is taking place with researchers, internal stakeholders, and DFID staff.

COMPASS commenced in April 2014 and is currently in inception phase. The programme includes strategies such as: safe space programming including life skills training and asset building; mentoring activities with the support of older adolescent girls; and engagement with service providers and caregivers to better prioritise and meet the needs of adolescent girls. The programme also includes a research component focused on understanding the feasibility, acceptability and effectiveness of safe space programming for adolescent girls in humanitarian settings. In DRC, our research will examine the additional impact of a caregiver discussion series in different communities; in Ethiopia the research will compare impact for girls who partake in safe space activities in the first year of the project with those who don’t (but will partake the following year); and in Pakistan, the research will concentrate on the feasibility and acceptability of the programme in this very difficult operating context.

This position can be based out of London or New York.

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is one of the world’s leading humanitarian relief and development organisations. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps people survive, recover and rebuild their lives. The IRC delivers emergency aid, protects children, provides health care, prevents and responds to violence against women and girls, safeguards human rights and helps to kick-start economic recovery. Working in more than 40 countries, the IRC has restored hope and opportunity to many millions of people.

The IRC is committed to a culture of bold leadership, innovation in all aspects of our work, creative partnerships and, most crucially, accountability to those we serve. The IRC is a tireless advocate for the most vulnerable.

PROGRAMME SCOPE

IRC was one of the first humanitarian organizations to launch specific programmes for survivors of sexual violence, implementing gender-based violence (GBV) programmes in refugee settings and other conflict-affected communities from 1996. Over the past 16 years, IRC has pioneered and implemented programmes that prevent and respond to violence against women and girls in refugee settings and in other conflict-affected contexts, making the IRC a global leader in this field. IRC presently implements women’s protection and empowerment (WPE) programmes to support social and political environments that foster women’s freedom from violence, discrimination, and exclusion, allowing them to be active participants in rebuilding their countries. Today, IRC manages WPE programmes in 19 countries across Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Haiti, with funding from governments, the UN, foundations, and private donors.

IRC is seeking a Research, Monitoring and Evaluation (RM&E) Officer to work on a three-year project funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID) entitled COMPASS (Creating Opportunities through Mentorship, Parental Involvement and Safe Spaces) to improve prevention and response to violence against adolescent girls in humanitarian settings. Based either in IRC’s UK office in London, or IRC HQ in New York, the Officer will be responsible for overseeing the design and implementation of research, monitoring and evaluation of the programme in accordance with DFID regulations, IRC policies, and international standards for programming and research. The Officer will oversee the research programme including both quantitative and qualitative approaches proposed and provide technical and field support for implementation of research, monitoring, and evaluation activities, data analysis, and application of findings in coordination with technical teams. The Officer will also work with the Programme Coordinator to ensure regular updates, communication and joint planning and implementation is taking place with researchers, internal stakeholders, and DFID staff.

COMPASS commenced in April 2014 and is currently in inception phase. The programme includes strategies such as: safe space programming including life skills training and asset building; mentoring activities with the support of older adolescent girls; and engagement with service providers and caregivers to better prioritise and meet the needs of adolescent girls. The programme also includes a research component focused on understanding the feasibility, acceptability and effectiveness of safe space programming for adolescent girls in humanitarian settings. In DRC, our research will examine the additional impact of a caregiver discussion series in different communities; in Ethiopia the research will compare impact for girls who partake in safe space activities in the first year of the project with those who don’t (but will partake the following year); and in Pakistan, the research will concentrate on the feasibility and acceptability of the programme in this very difficult operating context.

This position will report to the Programme Coordinator within the IRC’s Women’s Protection and Empowerment Technical Team, and will interact frequently with key members of this team, the researchers, and the Child, Youth, Protection, and Development Technical Unit, as well as receive additional support through the Research, Evaluation, and Learning (REL) Technical Unit.
