Entity : Action Against Hunger Mozambique

Brief description : The proposed intervention aims at responding to the conflict-affected population’s humanitarian needs in Cabo Delgado (CD) province through emergency response and early recovery interventions aiming at building the resilience of IDPs, returnees and Host Communities (HC) toward nutrition security. Static approaches will be implemented in Mueda, Macomia and Quissanga districts of CD province, while Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM) will cover all districts of CD. Within static programming, the objective is to enhance targeted population access to food, health, nutrition, water, hygiene and sanitation (WASH) services and to support the development of livelihood, while strengthening communities’ resilience. Within mobile RRM programming, the objective is to answer to most urgent basic needs through the provision of immediate support.

The Activity aims at (i) improving access to safe, free and qualitative health care & nutrition services through the implementation of an outreach strategy (ii) improving access to water, sanitation and hygiene infrastructures/assets at community and health facility-levels (iii) supporting economic and agricultural recovery through provision of agriculture inputs, crop farming trainings, market system strengthening, and livelihoods restoration (iv) ensuring access to food and essential items to the population who went through a shock through the distribution of cash or in-kind survival kit under RRM. Knowledge building and/or behaviour change on key practices and attitudes will be a key component of each sectorial technical design of the Activity.

The overall objective of the project is to respond to the conflict-affected populations needs in the Cabo Delgado province through live-saving and sustaining interventions to build communities resilience of IDP, returnees and HC. The purpose is to contribute to reduce the morbidity and mortality of conflict-affected populations in Cabo Delgado through targeted multi-sectorial support across Health & Nutrition, WASH, Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL) and integrated emergency response.
This evaluation is conducted as an exercise of accountability towards the donor and the beneficiaries.
It is also expected to contribute to better understand the strengths and weaknesses of the intervention, drawing lessons learned and making operational and strategic recommendations that can be used to improve the implementation of a potential next phase or similar interventions in the future. The overall purpose of the evaluation is to assess the overall performance of the project and to determine if the intervention has reached its intended outputs and objectives. In particular, it will assess to what extent (and the reasons why) the project’s outputs have ensured the achievement of the outcomes and objective. The complete terms of reference attached will give you further details on the project as well as the related expectations.
