Starting date: 21st October 2014

Total duration of the evaluation: 3 weeks

Time dedicated to the desk review: 2 days

Time dedicated to report writing: 5 days

Time dedicated to the field: 14 days

Under responsibility of the field coordinator

Funding sources for the evaluation: EuropeAid

This three and half year project (June 2011 – Nov 2014) is carried out by a Consortium of 3 NGOs who have been delivering emergency and Disaster Risk Reduction assistance to communities in Northern Marsabit for many years: SOLIDARITES INTERNATIONAL (SI), Pastoralist Integrated Support Program (PISP) and Vétérinaires Sans Frontières – Germany (VSF-G).

Presentation of the project:

Background The ACP-EU Water Facility project has been implemented in 3 districts of Marsabit County: North Horr, Chalbi and Loiyangalani - all part of the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASAL) area in Northern Kenya. Droughts have become a more frequent event in these areas over the last 20 years, and the ASAL area has experienced 5 major droughts during the last decade alone. Northern Marsabit is one of the poorest areas in Kenya, with more than 90 % of the total population below the absolute poverty line. Besides the droughts, the region suffers from regular clashes among tribes living in the region as well as with tribes from the neighbouring country of Ethiopia. Throughout Northern Marsabit, access to a year-round source of safe drinking water is estimated to be less than 15%. Generally, safe water is extremely scarce, affecting human beings and their livestock. Poor access to sufficient safe water has negative impact on health and on the prevalence of water related diseases such as diarrhoea, which is a key contributing factor to persistently high levels of malnutrition (GAM of 25,8 % in March 2010) in the area. The main livelihood of the program target area is pure nomadic pastoralism. This covers 80% of the population. The proposed target districts are predominantly occupied by the Gabbra, Turkana, Dassananch and Samburu community. Animal population in a typical Gabbra household is goats, sheeps, camels, cattle and donkeys, in descending order of numbers.

Overall Objective

To contribute to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals related to water sanitation and hygiene in Loiyangalani, Chalbi and North Horr Districts in Northern Kenya to improve targeted population health

Specific Objective

Purposes of the evaluation

The purpose of this final evaluation is to assess the results of the project, its impact on the targeted populations and to draw lessons from the experiences and challenges as well as to make recommendations for future programming. This evaluation will cover all the dynamics of the project including evaluating each and every activity against the proposal, measure the indicators’ against the initial targets and gather data on number of households who have been impacted by the action. The evaluation should be triangulated with findings from baseline and monitoring surveys conducted within the project period on specific activities such as: pre and post KAP surveys, Mid –term and other project monitoring tools used.

Scope and focus

The evaluation will focus on the operation’s approach, the implementation process and the performance of the programme. The project should be evaluated through the following criteria: relevance, coverage, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability, impact, and coherence. Recommendations for improving each of the criteria are made. A suggested action plan corresponding to each recommendation is included in the evaluation report. Recommendations for the strategic orientation of possible next project are made. Relevance, effectiveness and sustainability criteria will be particularly focused during this evaluation.

The evaluation should also assess the appreciation of the program by the beneficiaries as well as the collaboration with the local authorities. Finally, the evaluation should assess how the implementation of the program was respectful of the ethics of humanitarian practice.
