Duties and Responsibilities
BACKGROUND As part of the 2024 work plan, the DIOS Evaluation Division will conduct an independent evaluation of UNRWA's food and cash assistance interventions under the Social Safety Net Programme (SSNP) and Emergency Appeal Programmes (EA) from 2019 to 2023.
UNRWA has provided food and cash assistance to more than two million Palestine refugees, or over one in three of all those registered with the Agency across its five fields of operation.
Support has been provided under two interventions:
(i) a Social Safety Net Programme (SSNP) that contributes to poverty mitigation, supported by the Programme Budget, which reaches almost 200,000 beneficiaries; and (ii) Emergency Appeal (EA) programmes for victims of humanitarian crisis, through which around 1.7m Palestine refugees are being assisted. While most beneficiaries of emergency assistance are in Gaza and Syria, assistance is also provided to the Palestine refugees in Jordan, Lebanon and the West Bank. The total programme budget allocated annually to the SSNP has been about USD 31 million. At the same time, the SSNP has been increasingly supplemented by emergency assistance interventions with a budget of approximately USD 200 million. UNRWA's programme budget provides for the most vulnerable that are highly dependent on UNRWA because of their Palestine refugee status while emergency assistance caseloads are determined as populations are impacted by socio-economic crises. The evaluation of UNRWA's social assistance interventions will serve a dual purpose of accountability and learning. It will build upon prior evaluations to analyze how challenges and lessons identified in those have been addressed. It will also provide insights on the extent to which UNRWA's food and cash assistance interventions have responded to the needs of Palestine refugees, including men, women, and people with disabilities. Additionally, the evaluation findings will provide further evidence and human rights-based analysis to inform decision-making on the way UNRWA administers its assistance interventions with consideration to current financial realities, global best practice, and parallel social assistance systems in the Agency's areas of operation. As a key member of the evaluation team, the Senior Evaluation Consultant will provide guidance and technical expertise to assess UNRWA's livelihood interventions. The consultant will be involved in finalizing the evaluation design, as well as the implementation and reporting phases of the evaluation. The consultant is expected to contribute approximately 30 days to the evaluation between May and October 2024, with data collection activities between May and July 2024. The evaluation report is to be finalized by November 2024. DESCRIPTION OF DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES Under the overall guidance of the Evaluation Team Leader, the consultant will contribute to the evaluation processes, including the development of the evaluation methodology, data collection and drafting of the report. Other duties may be assigned by the Chief of the Evaluation Division, as needed.
Specific activities for each evaluation phase include:
Planning phase:
o Provide support in developing and finalizing data collection tools.
Implementation phase:
o Provide overall guidance and technical support to the evaluation team. o Support data collection and analysis in relation to the administration of UNRWA's food and cash assistance interventions. o Support a comparative analysis of livelihood interventions in other UN agencies.
o Support country case studies (including review of country documents, travel to one of the field offices, virtual and in-person interviews and focus group discussions with key stakeholders).
o Participate in debriefing meetings and workshops as needed. o Contribute to the analysis and discussion of findings within the evaluation team to reach preliminary conclusions and recommendations.Reporting phase:
o Participate in meetings and workshops to discuss preliminary evaluation results, as needed. o Draft specific sections of the report and provide inputs to the overall draft evaluation report.
