TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR CONDUCTING END OF PROJECT EVALUATION FOR INCREASED ACCESS TO LIFE-SAVING SEXUAL REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH AND PROTECTION FOR DISPLACED POPULATION AND HOST COMMUNITY IN RHINO AND IMVEPI REFUGEE SETTLEMENTS, WEST NILE REGION UGANDAContext Uganda hosts the largest refugee population in Africa and the third largest refugee population in the world. According to the Ugandan Office of the Prime Minister (OPM), there are 150 daily new arrivals of refugees from South Sudan. Newly arriving refugees join existing refugee populations for whom resources have been decreasing steadily and are now largely unable to meet basic nutrition, health, and food security needs. The refugee influx constrained the existing services which calls for gap filling through humanitarian response interventions. Many of the settlements are already at full capacity and the costs of opening new settlements, infrastructure and social services are high. Several humanitarian agencies have experienced funding reductions in the last year, despite the continual increase of refugees to the region. The government of Uganda is struggling to fund social services, health services, protection, and livelihood interventions due to existing extreme poverty indices in the region which was exacerbated by COVID-19 impacts. The refugees in West Nile remain amongst the most vulnerable population with limited capacities and opportunities to cope with the socio-economic impacts of the crisis. Background CARE International is a humanitarian non-governmental organization committed to work with poor women, men, boys, girls, communities, and institutions to have a significant impact on the underlying causes of poverty. CARE seeks to contribute to Economic and Social Transformation, unleashing the power of the most vulnerable women and girls. CARE International in Uganda secured a two-year funding from the Germany Federal Foreign Office to improve access to life-saving Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) services, prevent and provide support services to Gender-Based Violence (GBV) survivors in Rhino and Imvepi settlements, West Nile region Uganda. The project started on 1st September 2022 and ending 30th August 2024. The project outcome is increased and equitable use of SRHR and gender-responsive assistance by individuals most affected by forced displacement, especially women and girls to realize their sexual and reproductive health rights and are free from gender-based violence.

Terms of Reference for conducting a Gender Meta-Analysis for Scaling up Farmer Field and Business School (SUFFBS) in the Southwestern Districts of Kyenjonjo and KyegegwaBackground to Scale-Up of FFBS Agriculture is a crucial sector for Uganda, accounting for approximately 21.9% of Uganda’s GDP, 86% of its export earnings, and 68% of total employment and all food requirements.

More than 80% of Uganda’s rural population, most of them scale farmers, rely on subsistence agricultural production. The contribution to the agricultural GDP by different sub-sectors includes crops (67%), livestock (16%), fisheries (12%), and forestry (4%). In addition, agriculture also contributes 100% of all material resources for agro-based industries and food crop production. Given the pivotal role of rural women in Uganda’s food production systems, agriculture also empowers women and guarantees that they feed their families, including children.

Terms of Reference for conducting a Political Economy Analysis (PEA) for Scaling up Farmer Field and Business School (SUFFBS) in the South Western Districts of Kyenjonjo and Kyegegwa Background Agriculture is a crucial sector for Uganda, accounting for approximately 21.9% of Uganda’s GDP, 86percentage of its export earnings, and 68% of total employment and all food requirements. More than 80% of Uganda’s rural population, most of them scale farmers, rely on subsistence agricultural production. The contribution to the agricultural GDP by different sub-sectors includes crops (67%), livestock (16%), fisheries (12%), and forestry (4%). In addition, agriculture also contributes 100% of all material resources for agro-based industries and food crop production. Given the pivotal role of rural women in Uganda’s food production systems, agriculture also empowers women and guarantees that they feed their families, including children. However, the decisions on what, when, and how much to sell and on the income from the agricultural sales, largely lies in the hands of the man in the home. The root causes for this unfair scenario are cultural norms and patriarchal and societal expectations. This discriminatory gender and social norms exist in most households and focus group discussions held during this survey study confirmed this observation. CARE and its local partner JESE have received funding from SALL Foundation to Scale up FFBS from August 2022 to September 2025, with the aim of increasing food security and building resilience and incomes of vulnerable women and girls in all the sub-counties in the two districts of Kyegegwa and Kyenjojo, by advocating for government to adopt an integrated gender transformative agricultural extension approach(FFBS), providing technical assistance to government structures and non-state actors to engage targeted communities in more sustainable ways of farming as a business.

Terms of Reference for a baseline evaluation the Scaling-up of the Farmer Field and Business School (SUFFBS) in Uganda Background This is a follow on intervention to the SFtW (She Feeds the World) project that was implemented between 2018 and 2022 within some of the sub-counties of Kyenjojo and Kyegegwa. SFtW project contributed to the improvement of food and nutrition security of 120,000 vulnerable people and their families directly, with a strong emphasis on women small-scale producers. However, despite the notable significant impact seen by increased women participation in leadership, increased yield and household income, and transformation of men, there is still limited impact compared to the need. The project has also achieved less in targeting new user groups and sectors, limited expansion of markets and leveraging the private sector linkages for the most marketable agricultural value chains. Remarkably limited government engagement and adoption of the FFBS model could be incorporated within the government extension and production delivery mechanisms and its alignment to the PDM. Furthermore, there is limited research, documentation, lessons, and learnings of the best practices that could be replicated in other programs. The Baseline Evaluation The consultant is expected to work closely with the SUFFBS project team and provide overarching strategic guidance and advice to the entire baseline process. The SUFFBS team has already made a solid start on preparations for the baseline for the consultant to review and revise as he or she sees fit, once on board. A draft baseline protocol and MEAL Plan has been developed. In addition to reviewing this preparatory work to date, the consultant will lead on data analysis and reporting. Data collection in the field will be implemented by the CARE Uganda team, with guidance of the consultant. Applying We look forward to receiving your bid by October 10, 2022. Bids should include the company, organisation or consultants’ profile, experience, writing samples and references as well as a suggestion of the methodology, time and action plan, a proposed budget and if necessary, suggestions and recommendations to the Terms of References.

The project, which is funded by GIZ, will be implemented by CARE International in Uganda with support from CARE Germany and in close collaboration with the leadership of the targeted municipalities Consultancy objectives and Scope To enable GKMA and GCC tackle the collection gap and its related challenges, CARE will facilitate a better coordination mechanism of the PET waste value chain, by identifying gaps in coverage of PET waste collection and incorporating the unlicensed hubs and collectors into the formal solid waste management eco-system. A critical step in facilitating better coordination is the mapping of existing and identifiable actors in the PET recycling value chain i.e., formal hubs, informal collection sites, waste aggregators and processors (including factories) and developing a database of these actors. It’s against this background that CARE is seeking consultancy services to undertake a mapping of PET actors (especially the downstream actors). | Download doc |

Call for Partnerships on Youth & Climate Adaptation Program Background Africa’s burgeoning population estimated at 1.3 billion in 2020 is the youngest globally, with 60% under 25 years and a third aged between 15 and 34 years. Moreover, Africa’s youth population is rapidly growing and expected to double to over 830 million by 2050. Climate change is reshaping the world youth are due to inherit. As the Global Centre on Adaptation (GCA)’s State and Trends in Adaptation Report 2021 (STA21) shows, Africa’s youth generations will bear the costs of climate change in the coming decades. Without adequate action, GDP could decline by 30% over baseline in Africa. Negative impacts can be reduced if appropriate adaptation action is taken now. STA21 also shows that youth in Africa are the most educated generation ever but are not yet engaged on a significant level due to primary needs including education and employment. In addition, youth are often excluded from taking on leadership roles and political activities. STA21 is very clear that there is a need for young people to engage in political and social processes and policymaking. “Including and encouraging youth participation in decision-making related to climate change is critical to make sure that choices, investments, and interventions have their support and are responsive to needs.” | Download doc |
