UNICEF Lebanon programme management and key stakeholders need evidence on the impact of the QUDWA strategy at the level of the child. The expectation of the M&E framework is to provide evidence whether or not, QUDWA approach is effective in preventing violence again women and children, in improving positive behaviors and practices at community level and to rebuild role models in society. In this regards, Unicef is recruiting a Monitoring and Evaluation consultant to design and develop M&E framework to measure the effectiveness of Qudwa plan and initiatives.
The development of the M&E framework will necessitate a mixed methods approach including desk review, field visits and interviews with key informants. The institution firm is expected to develop a full framework with tools.
Methodology:
Development of logical framework:
M&E Plan (Logframe, Indicators, Assumption, M&E system, Indicators, tools) in close coordination with UNICEF which will provide all the supportive documents and will coordinate field visits and meetings with the Qudwa task force to enable the consultant to better understand the situation and the implementation of Qudwa plan on the ground; the M&E framework will be presented and validated with the Qudwa taskforce. The framework will be presented and validated in a one day workshop with Qudwa taskforce.
Training of partners (TOT): in person training for Qudwa task force and implementing partners at national and local level
Field monitoring and evidence generation:
the consultant will conduct two field visits 5 days each (over 6 months: 1st visit in month 3, and 2nd visit in month 6) with partners to monitor the use of tools, ensure feasibility and relevance, and generate evidence of the direct impact of the Qudwa plan. The evidence will be used for reporting, donor proposals, and advocacy.
