TERM OF REFERENCE
CONSULTANT INDIVIDUAL FOR SPONSORSHIP MIDTERM EVALUATION QUANTITATIVE & QUALITATIVE DATA ANALYSIS
BACKGROUND
Save the Children began implementing long-term Sponsorship programs in West Sumba in 2014 and Central Sumba 2015). This program aims to reach 100,000 children and their communities over the course of 10 ten years to improve the quality of education and health service of children in West Sumba and Central Sumba.
In 2019, Midterm Evaluation (MTE) has been done by consultant. However, the works were not finished yet and remaining a lot of data to be analyzed. In the other side, the needs of MTE results are increasing, as the Sponsorship program enter the last half period of the program, which considered as the right time to re-develop Sponsorship program design and strategy for the remaining period of the program. The MTE aimed to answer these Evaluation Questions (EQ) as follow:
EQ1 | What is the status of key child, family, and community on core programming outcome indicators, and what should be the targets for end-line evaluation in 5 years? |
EQ2 | What unintended/unplanned outcomes, both positive and negative, have occurred over the past five years due to sponsorship programming? |
EQ3 | To what degree are key stakeholders, such as children, caregivers, community leaders, school and health officials, local partners satisfied with current programming? In what areas is Sponsorship meeting the needs of children and in what areas is it not? |
EQ4 | What areas require improvement or additional attention considering key indicator status, stakeholder satisfaction, child rights and participation, gender, equity, and inclusion? |
EQ5 | What are key contextual issues that have, or currently are, positively and negatively affecting Sponsorship programming and results, or may do so in the future? |
EQ6 | To what degree have program staff made progress on plans for “transfer of ownership” that will be assessed at the upcoming end-line evaluation? |
Although the data have been collected from field, the MTE process are not completed yet. Comprehensive analysis is needed to provide Sponsorship team with clear findings and recommendation from MTE. These will be used to develop program adaptation for the next 5 years of Sponsorship period. To address these data gaps, the Sponsorship program team have decided to hire individual consultant to continue the analysis process of Midterm Evaluation.
