TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR CONDUCTING END OF PROJECT EVALUATION FOR EMERGENCY FOOD ASSISTANCE IN NAKIVALE PROJECTContext According to UNHCR the total population of refugees in Nakivale refugee settlement stands at 178,270 (90,077 Females, 88,193 Males). Among them 77% are women and children who need humanitarian assistance. The refugee influx experienced in the year 2022 and the continued gradual inflow of refugee persons fleeing conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo is compounding pressure on the already constrained resources within the settlement. Even the key food assistance partner World Food Program (WFP) continues to reduce food/cash ratios per individual through the roll out of prioritization which has greatly affected the increasing number of new arrivals who are yet to be settled to produce their own food within a very short period especially the pregnant and lactating women (PLWs) and children 0-23 months. According to UNHCR, over 500 new arrivals are settled in Nakivale every after 2 weeks since January 2024. With the aim of contributing to the overall food security outcome of improved access to adequate nutritious food for refugees and asylum seekers, Andre Foods International (AFI) in partnership with CARE and TUMAINI in collaboration with Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) and Isingiro district are implementing the Emergency Food Assistance project in Nakivale (EFAN). EFAN is a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints funded one year project in Nakivale refuge settlement which aims at providing at least 5,000 most vulnerable persons from 928 households with emergency food assistance. This was after a project modification was approved to adjust project targets from the originally planned 850 households and 4,250 individuals. 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 One-year funding from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to improve the immediate food security of the vulnerable new arrivals in Nakivale settlement, Southwestern region Uganda. The project started on 15th November 2023 and will end on 31st October 2024. The project provided food assistance using food vouchers. The provision of the Food Voucher system was defined by a minimum expenditure basket required for at least a period of 3 months per household comprised of 5 people. Since 2019 to date this MEB has been calculated at approximately 308,000 Uganda shillings ($83) per household per month. However, after distributing food assistance to half of the originally planned numbers, a project modification was sought to include households of sizes 4, 3 and 2 members. After the modification, households of size 5 and above received food vouchers worthy UGX 316,100, size 4 received food vouchers worthy UGX 252,880, size 3 received food vouchers worthy UGX 189,660 and size 2 received food vouchers worthy UGX 126,440. Food vouchers were redeemed in real time using the pre-qualified vendors who provide them with food items including Rice, Posho, Beans, Salt and Cooking Oil equivalent to the voucher value. The project outcome is contributing to the overall food security outcome of improved access to adequate nutritious food for refugees and asylum seekers. Duration of the Consultancy The Endline evaluation will be conducted in Nakivale settlement located in Isingiro district. The maximum evaluation period for the evaluation is 10 working days. This period includes time spent reviewing the draft report and providing feedback to the Consultant. Application and Submission Procedure Interested persons/firms MUST submit their proposals to UGA.Logistics@careuganda.zohodesk.com The subject of the email should read ‘Application for Conducting EFAN End of Project Evaluation’.

STEPS CONSORTIUM – TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR CONDUCTING A BASELINE STUDYBackground CARE International is a humanitarian non-governmental organization committed to working 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. Uganda is the largest refugee hosting country in Africa supporting 1,615,162 refugees and asylum seekers, mainly from South Sudan (57.2%), Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) (31.3%) and Somalia (3.2%) (UNHCR, Dec 2023). The protracted and volatile conflicts in South Sudan and DRC is the major cause of the continued influx of refugees and asylum seekers. According to UNHCR, between Sep 2022 and Aug 2023, 122,201 new refugees and asylum seekers arrived in Uganda. The ever-increasing refugee population in Uganda is straining further scarce resources in the humanitarian sector, considering that the funding has been dwindling for the past three years and is continuing to dwindle, with only 31% of the overall funding and 35% of the funding for protection (of a total USD 157M required by UNHCR) received by Q3 of 2023. The refugee population still needs multi-sector protection services. The reduction of the plots’ size allocated to refugees and food assistance/rations under the World Food Programme (WFP) prioritization system have further impacted the refugee population, contributing to their increased protection and CP, GBV and mental health risks (UNHCR, 2023). Limited livelihood opportunities result in socio-economic vulnerabilities, protection risks, health and mental health impact, and barriers to education. STEPS Project is funded by the European Union Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid (ECHO) and led by CARE Uganda in collaboration with War Child Uganda and aims to strengthen local partners institutional and leadership capacities while delivering lifesaving protection assistance through a locally led multi-sectoral approach. The project implementation period spans from 1st March 2024 to 30th April 2025.The project was designed to address Uganda humanitarian challenges in refugee contexts. Thematic interventions include Gender Based Violence & Response (GBV), Child Protection (CP) and Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS). The Consortium members include CARE International (as the lead) in collaboration with War Child Alliance, Transcultural Psychosocial Support Organization (TPO), Tumaini for Refugee Women (TRW), African Women and Youth for Development (AWYAD), Humanitarian Assistance and Development Services (HADS), Uganda Refugee and Disaster Management Council (URDMC), Kabarole Research and Resource Centre (KRC) and Community Empowerment Peace and Development West Nile (CEPADWN).

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. The project has two results areas.

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%).

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.

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 |
