Development and Project Management

<p>VIS - Volontariato Internazionale per lo Sviluppo,&nbsp;&nbsp;is a non-governmental organization that deals with development cooperation and international solidarity and an educational agency that promotes and organizes awareness-raising, education, training for development and global citizenship.</p>
<p>The association, founded in 1986 on the promotion of the National Center for Salesian Works (CNOS), is inspired by the message of St. John Bosco and his preventive educational system.&nbsp;It operates in 40 countries around the world, in Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and Europe.&nbsp;&quot;Together, for a possible world&quot; indicates the intention to network in Italy, Europe and the rest of the world to improve the living conditions of girls, boys, young people in vulnerable conditions and their communities, in the conviction that through education and training the causes of extreme poverty can be tackled at the root.&nbsp;The VIS has the special status of an advisory body recognized by&nbsp;the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC)&nbsp;.</p>
<p>It is accredited by&nbsp;ECHO, the Directorate-General for Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection of the European Commission.&nbsp;It is also part of an international network of Salesian-inspired NGOs, the Don Bosco Network (DBN), as well as of numerous other national and international networks operating in the field of cooperation.</p>

The ongoing humanitarian crisis, triggered by the Tigray conflict that erupted in November 2020, between the Federal Democratic Government of Ethiopia and the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), is exacerbated by restricted access to humanitarian aid, largely due to logistical and funding constraints. According to UN OCHA, the Tigray region currently hosts an estimated 950,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs), with 53 percent being female. This represents 42 percent of the national conflict-related displacement.&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align:justify;">The programme aims to alleviate the immediate emergency needs of vulnerable households and internally-displaced people in Tigray, with a particular emphasis on boys and girls, women, children under 5 years or age, pregnant and lactating mothers. It will be implemented in four areas (Shire, Adwa, Adigrat and Mekelle).<strong>&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align:justify;">The approach to humanitarian response is three-pronged resulting tin the following outcomes:</p><p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Outcome 1:</strong> The coverage of basic needs (food, non-food items (NFI) and access to safe water for the conflict and displacement-affected population of the Tigray region is improved, with a specific focus on girls and boys, women, children under 5 years of age, pregnant and lactating mothers. This includes Multi-Purpose Cash (MPC) assistance, distribution of Food supplements (Famix), as well as community sensitization on correct use of the food supplements and menstrual hygiene items.&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Outcome 2:</strong> Quality and inclusive educational services are strengthened for girls and boys affected by conflict and displacement in safe child-friendly environments in Tigray. This includes informal classes and accelerated learning programmes to recover the years of education lost because of the conflict as well as the support with material and furniture. &nbsp;</p><p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Outcome 3:&nbsp;</strong>Women, girls, and community members affected by sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) or other forms of physical and psychological violence during the conflict are aware of the unrestricted availability of essential medical, psychosocial, and socio-economic services and know whom to contact to access them. This includes trauma healing and psychosocial activities as well as the strengthening of a survivor-centered approach for survivors of sexual and gender-based violence.<strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Scope of the survey</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align:justify;">This survey is a baseline, midterm (with a limited sample) and endline survey. It serves to assess the medium-term outcomes of the project. See outcome one to three in the diagram above. The impact of the project is then evaluated in a learning session (after-action review), which contains all the information from this survey as well as further information from the project monitoring.&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align:justify;">The project monitoring of this project includes process monitoring, where an appropriate and feasible selection of implementation (output) indicators will be tracked and a post-distribution monitoring (PDM) for Multi-purpose Cash (MPC) disbursement and Famix distribution. For the MPC the monitoring and evaluation team in the field will systematically conduct post-distribution monitoring (PDM) survey two weeks after the date of distribution.&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align:justify;">Whilst this survey and the monitoring team will work closely together, process monitoring and PDM as well as the learning workshop are not part of this survey.&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align:justify;">Geographically, this survey is conducted in four areas of the Tigray region, namely Shire, Adwa, Adigrat and Mekelle.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">The time period is between October 2024 and January 2026.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Intended users and uses/purpose&nbsp;</h2><h2>&nbsp;</h2><p style="text-align:justify;">The primary users of the findings of this survey are the management and project staff of the three implementing partners as well as the project manager and coordinator of Jugend Eine Welt. They will use the information of the results of the baseline and midterm survey to take improvement measures if necessary. The information from the baseline and endline survey will be used to generate knowledge for further projects of the partners and Jugend Eine Welt (also outside this project) as well as for the learning workshop. This also includes measures for management. The learning that takes place during the whole process is reflected in changes to the procedures and culture of the implementing partners.&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align:justify;">The secondary users of this evaluation are other organizations cooperating with the implementing partners and Austrian Development Agency (donor).&nbsp;</p><h2 style="text-align:justify;">Objectives&nbsp;</h2><p style="text-align:justify;">Primary objectives:</p><ul><li><p style="text-align:justify;">To systematically identify the outcomes (outcome indicators) of this humanitarian aid project</p></li><li><p style="text-align:justify;">To have the possibility to take countermeasures in the middle of the project in case of non-achievement, for whatever reason&nbsp;</p></li><li><p style="text-align:justify;">To document key lessons learned and bring the information into the learning workshop for further project implementation</p><p style="text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p></li></ul><p style="text-align:justify;">Secondary objectives:</p><ul><li><p style="text-align:justify;">To identify and document case stories of successful, lasting changes</p></li><li><p style="text-align:justify;">To assess the extent to which documented outcomes can be attributed to this project&nbsp;</p></li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Survey questions</h2><p style="text-align:justify;">The&nbsp;survey questions deal with the implementation and the outcome indicators (baseline, midterm and endline).&nbsp;We want to know if the intervention produced the intended results? If so, for whom, to what extent and in what circumstances? See the outcome indicators in the graph above.&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p><h2 style="text-align:justify;">The principles and approach that will guide the survey</h2><p style="text-align:justify;">The guiding principle of this&nbsp;survey is to ensure that there is gender sensitivity in all aspects of the survey. At least for all questions related to gender-based violence, female enumerators will be assigned to conduct interviews with female respondents. A second principle relates to cultural sensitivity. If people with disabilities are included in the study, special attention is paid to communication and sensitivity.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p><p style="text-align:justify;">Reliable but secure data protection must also be ensured.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p><p style="text-align:justify;">Please include a statement how you will follow appropriate ethical procedures.</p><h2>Methodology</h2><p style="text-align:justify;">The proposed methodology for the baseline, midterm and endline survey along the outcome indicators will include quantitative and qualitative methods.

For the MPC the monitoring and evaluation team in the field will systematically conduct post-distribution monitoring (PDM) survey two weeks after the date of distribution.&nbsp;<p style="text-align:justify;">Whilst this survey and the monitoring team will work closely together, process monitoring and PDM as well as the learning workshop are not part of this survey.&nbsp;<p style="text-align:justify;">Geographically, this survey is conducted in four areas of the Tigray region, namely Shire, Adwa, Adigrat and Mekelle.<p style="text-align:justify;">The time period is between October 2024 and January 2026.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h2>Intended users and uses/purpose&nbsp;</h2><h2>&nbsp;</h2><p style="text-align:justify;">The primary users of the findings of this survey are the management and project staff of the three implementing partners as well as the project manager and coordinator of Jugend Eine Welt. They will use the information of the results of the baseline and midterm survey to take improvement measures if necessary. The information from the baseline and endline survey will be used to generate knowledge for further projects of the partners and Jugend Eine Welt (also outside this project) as well as for the learning workshop. This also includes measures for management. The learning that takes place during the whole process is reflected in changes to the procedures and culture of the implementing partners.&nbsp;<p style="text-align:justify;">&nbsp;<p style="text-align:justify;">The secondary users of this evaluation are other organizations cooperating with the implementing partners and Austrian Development Agency (donor).&nbsp;<h2 style="text-align:justify;">Objectives&nbsp;</h2><p style="text-align:justify;">Primary objectives:<ul><li><p style="text-align:justify;">To systematically identify the outcomes (outcome indicators) of this humanitarian aid project</li><li><p style="text-align:justify;">To have the possibility to take countermeasures in the middle of the project in case of non-achievement, for whatever reason&nbsp;</li><li><p style="text-align:justify;">To document key lessons learned and bring the information into the learning workshop for further project implementation<p style="text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</li></ul><p style="text-align:justify;">Secondary objectives:<ul><li><p style="text-align:justify;">To identify and document case stories of successful, lasting changes</li><li><p style="text-align:justify;">To assess the extent to which documented outcomes can be attributed to this project&nbsp;</li></ul>&nbsp;<h2>Survey questions</h2><p style="text-align:justify;">The&nbsp;survey questions deal with the implementation and the outcome indicators (baseline, midterm and endline).&nbsp;We want to know if the intervention produced the intended results? If so, for whom, to what extent and in what circumstances? See the outcome indicators in the graph above.&nbsp;<p style="text-align:justify;">&nbsp;<h2 style="text-align:justify;">The principles and approach that will guide the survey</h2><p style="text-align:justify;">The guiding principle of this&nbsp;survey is to ensure that there is gender sensitivity in all aspects of the survey. At least for all questions related to gender-based violence, female enumerators will be assigned to conduct interviews with female respondents. A second principle relates to cultural sensitivity. If people with disabilities are included in the study, special attention is paid to communication and sensitivity.&nbsp; &nbsp;<p style="text-align:justify;">Reliable but secure data protection must also be ensured.&nbsp; &nbsp;<p style="text-align:justify;">Please include a statement how you will follow appropriate ethical procedures.<h2>Methodology</h2><p style="text-align:justify;">The proposed methodology for the baseline, midterm and endline survey along the outcome indicators will include quantitative and qualitative methods.
