The overall objective (Impact) to which this action contributes is to support third countries to build up their capacity to carry out RPBA/PDNA/PRNA, through provision of technical expertise. Various activities are foreseen, including deployment of experts in RPBA/PDNA/PRNA missions, and provision of training and capacity building activities to national authorities and regional/international organizations, tripartite training events, as well as information sessions for EU entities.

The specific objectives/outcomes of this contract are as follows:

• To assist, together with the UN and the WB, countries affected by crisis with identifying, developing, and implementing recovery activities through RPBA/PDNA/PRNA processes. This will often consist of supporting joint RPBA/PDNA/PRNA missions in-country/in region (in coordination with EU Heads of Delegations, the European Commission, and with the European External Action Service). While such support could cover any relevant technical field (longer-term and shorter-term expertise), it is foreseen that a particular emphasis is put on expertise in mission planning and development of final reports/recovery frameworks;
• To support further development of the joint RPBA/PDNA/PRNA methodologies, tools, training programmes;
• To promote the values and principles of the EU as a global actor;
• To ensure inclusiveness of RPBA/PDNA/PRNA processes.

This contract will contribute to the overall objective of the Programme, which is to ensure food security and access to healthcare services, promote income-generating activities, and reduce the risk of disasters, particularly for the most vulnerable populations, including women and children.

The Programme focuses on:

- Strengthening food security for the most vulnerable groups and enhancing their capacity to engage in income-generating activities in provinces most affected by food crises.

- Improving the health of the Afghan population.

- Promoting anticipatory responses to recurrent crises resulting from climate shocks, through disaster risk reduction and management.

The overall objective of this contract is to focus on activities implemented through INGO partners, selected within the framework of the Call for Proposals 1, and inform AICS programme management and reporting with relevant data and analyses inspired by the Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL) approach, concepts and practices.

The main purpose of the BSMA is to ensure that funds of the two World Bank-financed projects, namely the Sudan SANAD – Emergency Crisis Response Safety Nets Project and the Sudan Primary Education Emergency Project (P504621), are used for the intended purpose.

The BSMA will carry out its support and monitoring activities consistent with the terms of the grant agreements concluded by the World Bank with WFP and UNICEF, respectively, including the terms of personal data protection. The BSMA consultancy assignment is additional to the normal monitoring and evaluation (M&E) functions that will be carried out by WFP and UNICEF, respectively, and will monitor and review the following:

• Monitor the progress of project activities in accordance with their overall plans. This includes data collection, field visits, and progress reporting.
• Monitor that results are being achieved in accordance with each projects’ results framework. This includes confirmation of the projects targets in the Results Frameworks.
• Monitor the implementation of the environmental and social risk management instruments as set out in the Environmental and Social Commitment Plan (ESCP), and provide recommendations to address the challenges, if any. Provide recommendations for continuous improvement, relevance, effectiveness, impact, and sustainability of activities.
• Monitor the mitigation and management of risks outlined in the project documents and provide recommendations to reduce or manage potential risks or constraints identified through the BSMA.
• Provide evidence-based, credible, and useful information to enable the incorporation of conclusions, lessons, and recommendations into the future decision-making processes of the World Bank projects.
• The BSMA will utilise the World Bank’s Geo-Enabling Initiative for Monitoring and Supervision (GEMS) to enhance transparency and accountability of the BSMA services, where possible, given the Fragility, Conflict, and Violence (FCV) context.

The overall objective is to independently monitor and/or verify that SJF supported activities are being implemented with quality and integrity by NGOs, Government partners and participating UN entities and to assess the impact of SJF funded programmes on the target beneficiaries in line with fiduciary principles. Independent verification will also assess the extent to which the SJF is achieving its objective, contribute to organizational learning and recommend ways in which the Fund should enhance coherence, alignment, and harmonisation based on UNSDG Pooled-Financing mechanism best practices and the Funding Compact.

The scope of work encompasses monitoring activities, which may be of either an “overt” or a more “low-profile” nature. The exact nature of the assignment will depend, among other factors, on the proposed methodology, the sensitivity/type of information requested, and the local security context at the time of deployment.

Six cross-cutting programmatic themes and approaches guide all investments by the SJF:

• Gender equality and women empowerment
• Leave no one behind
• Social contract and legitimacy
• Capacity sharing and exit strategies
• Anti-corruption
• Environment and Climate Security
