Scope of Work
Call for Expression of Interest for Consultant to Analyze Data from Tracer Study on Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) Household Graduation in Nigeria.
Number required: One
Location: The activity is desk-based and can be carried out from any location in Nigeria.
Duration: 23 days – effective 2nd April 2018 (based on Milestones detailed below).
CRS contact person: MEAL TA, 4Children, Nigeria.
Objective: To carry out statistical analysis of Tracer Study on OVC household graduation data and prepare standard report on the findings based on the analysis.
Background:
In January 2016, 4Children began a two-year, USAID- funded technical assistance project in Nigeria. The overarching objective of the scope of work(SoW) is for 4Children to provide TA to USAID and CDC IPs in responsible graduation and transition1 of OVC, households, communities, LGAs and states as part of the PEPFAR pivot and reflective of PEPFAR 3.0 priorities. The SoW also included a focus on supporting prioritized actions and strategies for the geographic areas identified by PEPFAR as scale-up local government areas (LGAs). The technical assistance provided by 4Children over the period aimed at achieving the following:
Development of guidance, strategies and tools to support improved HES and parenting.
Strengthened case management, linkages among and referrals between community and clinic based OVC services, including strategies for reaching more children living with HIV (CLHIV) within the OVC population.
As noted in the following sections, there does not appear to be commonly understood or standardized definitions for graduation and transition in the OVC community in Nigeria. However, in other documentation, graduation and transition in OVC programming have been defined as follows: Graduation: A point at which all actions identified in the case plan have been completed and the child and caregiver are stable and secure enough to meet their own needs (e.g. financial, protection, emotional, health and education) without the assistance of the case manager. A case manager may monitor the status of a stable and secure child and caregiver for a period prior to graduation to ensure the child and caregiver are unlikely to require additional support in the future. Transition: The transfer of a child and his or her caregiver from direct PEPFAR support to support provided by another source (e.g. government, community, a program funded by another donor, etc.)
Strengthened capacity of government systems (LGA and state level) to advocate, plan for and use funds for OVC.
Strategies for delivering critical OVC services at clinical facilities.
Guidance and examples of interventions targeting adolescent girls and young women that address their increased vulnerability to both child protection concerns and HIV and can be easily integrated into existing programming.
The overall goal of OVC programming is to build the resilience of families and children affected by HIV/AIDS so that they can meet their health, economic, education and social development needs. Households are graduated when they have achieved both the goals set out in the care plan and the goal of the OVC program, and can meet their needs without ongoing support of the OVC program. It remains unclear whether the effects of OVC program interventions on beneficiaries (at the point of graduation) will be sustained in the post-graduation periods. 4Children was therefore commissioned to conduct a tracer study to generate information on the post-graduation wellbeing of OVC and households towards contributing to national and global knowledge and learning on the OVC household graduation for improving future programming.
The study primarily involved tracing a sample of graduated households to understand the perceived changes in OVC wellbeing (in relation to health, education, protection, nutrition and access to other basic needs) since graduation from United States Government(USG) supported OVC program in Nigeria. The data collected largely has variables in the form of categorical and numeric types (predominantly of ordinal scales). 4Children seeks to hire an external consultant to analyze the data collected (which will be made available in both Microsoft Excel and SPSS file formats) prepare a quality report.
Specific tasks:
The Consultant will be responsible for the following:
Carry out exploratory analysis of the data and prepare dummy tables to advise 4Children on required data analysis and outputs.
Execute standardize statistical (descriptive and inferential) data analysis procedures based on approved protocol and as appropriate.
Prepare a standard report that presents and discuss the findings of the study in line with standard scientific report writing.

Final Evaluation of Feed the Future Nigeria Livelihoods Project in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Sokoto, Kebbi, Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states.
This Terms of Reference (TOR) provides the description and work to be done to conduct a final evaluation of the Feed the Future Nigeria Livelihoods Project. The work required by this TOR includes the design of the final evaluation and implementation. This TOR has the following sections: background; justification, scope; objective; evaluation questions; learning agenda questions; methodology; deliverables; qualifications; roles and responsibility; management arrangement; timeline; payment schedule; and submission guidelines.
Project Background
CRS Nigeria is leading an exciting and innovative project designed to develop sustainable approaches to lift some of the most vulnerable households in Nigeria out of poverty. The project known as Feed the Future Nigeria Livelihoods Project is funded by USAID for a period of five years (from July 2013 to July 2018) for Northern Nigeria states of Sokoto and Kebbi and the Bwari Area Council in the Federal Capital Territory. The project is implemented by a consortium of non-governmental organizations, led by CRS Nigeria. The project is based in rural communities and targets 42,000 vulnerable households. The project consortium works closely with multiple stakeholders within government at state and local levels, and amongst private sector. The project also works with local civil society organizations and incorporates a focus on local capacity building for sustained service delivery in project locations. In 2017 the project was extended to the Northeast states of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe to reach 10,000 vulnerable households.
CRS’ Feed the Future Nigeria Livelihoods Project engages communities in agricultural-led growth interventions, using a multi-sector approach to help the very poor households grow their agriculture production, incomes and improve nutrition. The project aims to improve agricultural practices, promoting post-harvest storage for nutrient rich crops already being produced, and market-oriented approach to diversification of production, ensuring all agricultural activities are adapted to specific agro-ecological and cultural context. The project also assists vulnerable families with income diversification and provision of participatory comprehensive nutrition activities at the community level. To help vulnerable families move along the Pathway to Prosperity, the project utilizes cash transfers to help meet nutritional needs, recover assets and overcome barriers to income-generating activities. For sustainability, the project strengthens the institutional capacity of government systems for implementing poverty reduction programs and reinforce accountability between government and the citizens. The project adopts a cohort approach to household interventions. The project has randomized the households benefiting in the project into three classes: A, B, and C. Although the intervention with each class overlapped with other classes, the project began with Class A, then Class B and later Class C. The project has been working with the whole 10,000 households in North East without disaggregating them into Classes. The North-East intervention is centered on improving agricultural practices with a focus on post-harvest storage for nutrient rich crops already being produced, and promotes a market-oriented approach to diversification of production through ensuring that all agricultural activities are adapted to specific agro-ecological and cultural contexts; as well as SILC (savings and loans) intervention.
Goal: The goal of the project is, “households in targeted states have reduced poverty”. At this goal level are five key impact related indicators on income, prevalence and depth of poverty, prevalence of stunting children and households’ dietary diversity. These goals are being achieved based on the collective outcomes and outputs of the project activities across four sectoral results areas of agriculture, growth in income, nutrition and social safety net and governance.

Justification of the final evaluation
This final evaluation is to be carried out as one of the evaluation procedures in the project activity monitoring and evaluation plan for assessing the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability of the project outcomes as well as the strategies employed by the project for poverty reduction. As the project implementation has been completed, it is usual to carry out a detailed review to assess the project goal, determine the efficiency of the program operations in carrying out the agreed activities, assess the relevance of the project design considering implementation and changes in the operational areas and aspirations of the households targeted, and effectiveness of the sustainability measures put in place by the project and to answer some learning agenda questions. Generally, the evaluation study intends to measure programme performance against pre-agreed indicators. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the project to see if it has achieved the set goal.
Scope of the Evaluation
This final evaluation will cover all interventions of the project by the intermediate results areas and cross-cutting, including project management, resource management, monitoring and evaluation, learning agenda questions, partnership and stakeholders’ commitments.
Field Final Evaluation survey will be conducted in

Birnin Kebbi, Dango Wasagu LGAs in Kebbi State
Gombi and Hong LGAs in Adamawa State
Jere, Kaga, Biu and Hawul in Borno State
Bursari and Jakusko LGAs in Yobe State
Objective of the Evaluation
The overall objectives of the evaluation is to evaluate the activities implemented for the Feed the Future Nigeria Livelihoods Project and its partners towards achieving the expected outcomes and to make recommendations on further replication of the project. The recommendations will suggest if deemed necessary – re-orientations and changes in the project design, scope and implementation approach and provide recommendations on management and methodologies to improve performance and delivery of similar or future projects. The evaluation will focus on assessing cost effectiveness of the project, and on the review of structures, processes and systems established during the implementation period.
In addition, the outcome of the evaluation will contribute to the learning documentation of the project. In achieving this, the evaluation will answer key learning agenda questions.

REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
Feed the Future Nigeria Livelihoods Project
To Conduct:
A Project Household Graduation Survey in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Sokoto and Kebbi states.
Requesting Organization:
Catholic Relief Services, Nigeria
Plot 512 Ahmadu Bello Way, Behind NAF Conference Centre and Suites, Kado District, Abuja Nigeria
Background
Catholic Relief Services (CRS) Nigeria is leading an exciting and innovative project designed to develop sustainable approaches to lift some of the most vulnerable households in Nigeria out of poverty. This USAID-supported project called Feed the Future Nigeria Livelihoods Project is implemented by a consortium of non-governmental organizations. The project is based in rural communities in Northern Nigeria of Sokoto and Kebbi states and the Bwari Area Council in the Federal Capital Territory and has expanded to Yobe, Borno, and Adamawa States in FY17. The project consortium works closely with multiple stakeholders within government at state and local levels, and amongst private sector. The project partners with eight local civil society organizations and incorporates a focus on local capacity building for sustained service delivery in project locations.
In the NW and FCT, the project engages communities in agricultural-led growth interventions, using a multi-sectoral approach to help 42,000 very poor households grow their agriculture production, incomes and improve nutrition. The project seeks to improve agricultural practices with a focus on post-harvest storage for nutrient rich crops already being produced, and promotes a market-oriented approach to diversification of production through ensuring that all agricultural activities are adapted to specific agro-ecological and cultural contexts. The project also assists vulnerable families through income diversification and provision of participatory comprehensive nutrition activities at the community level. To help vulnerable families move along the Pathway to Prosperity, the project utilizes cash transfers to help meet nutritional needs, recover assets and overcome barriers to income-generating activities. To support sustainability, the project strengthens the institutional capacity of government systems to implement poverty reduction programs and reinforce accountability between the government and citizens. Therefore, in the NW and FCT, the project has four key results areas of increased agricultural production and productivity, increased income, improved nutrition status and stronger social safety net for households. The project adopts a cohort approach to household interventions. The project randomized the households benefiting in the project into three classes: A, B, and C. Although the intervention with each class
overlapped with another, the intervention began with Class A, then Class B and later Class C. At this stage in the project, the interventions are targeting Class C.
CRS Nigeria requires the services of a qualified consultant to evaluate and implement a process for graduating benefiting Class C households in the project and provide answer by research to key learning agenda question. The aim of the learning agenda is to investigate the different aspects of the project interventions and their corresponding effects. The graduation activity will apply a quantitative approach with focus on Class C households with a total sample of 6,000 households from the total of 19,135 households from Class C in NW while the learning agenda shall combine both qualitative and quantitative methods.
The graduation and learning agenda tools will be administered to project households located in communities in the following locations:
FCT: Bwari Area Council
Sokoto: Dange Shuni, Rabbah, Kebbe and Tangaza LGAs
Kebbi: Birnin Kebbi and Danko Wasagu LGAs
Objective of the Consultancy
The overall objective of this consultancy is to design and administer the graduation tools to project households to evaluate their readiness for graduation; rank households based on performance on the project indicators, determine the appropriate project services necessary for household still receiving interventions to be eligible for graduation and seek solution to a key learning agenda question.
More specifically, the learning agenda will investigate the different aspects of the project interventions and their corresponding effects.
Learning Agenda Question: What will be the relative contribution of Savings and Internal Lending Communities (SILC) and nutrition–sensitive interventions on child nutrition in selected communities of the Feed the Future Nigeria Livelihoods Project?
The question specifically aims at exploring the extent to which SILC activities and consequential economic strengthening can contribute to improving child nutrition and wellbeing at the household level. This is important because nutrition-sensitive activities like SILC have been identified to play a vital role towards improving nutritional status (Lancet Series 2013).
The study will use three intervention arms which are; SILC-only interventions; nutrition-only interventions and integrated SILC plus nutrition intervention. The aim is to prove a synergistic relationship between nutrition counseling and education and SILC as compared to the interventions delivered alone. For the purpose of answering the learning agenda question, the study area will include non-intervention communities.
Main Tasks
1) Finalize tools and develop protocol for graduation
Review relevant literature and materials developed and used in the project.
Review and finalize the criteria for graduation developed by CRS
Review the tools for graduation using these criteria
Present the tools to CRS project management team.
