Terms of Reference for Evaluator of Oxfam's Disaster Risk Reduction Programme in the South Caucasus

  The purpose and scope of the evaluation
In June 2012 Oxfam GB and local partner organisations started the second phase of a participatory multi-hazard disaster risk reduction programme in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia, funded for 15 months by the European Commission, Department of Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection. The 'Supporting Community Resilience in the South Caucasus' programme is due to end in August 2013 and an external evaluation is sought to determine the impact of this programme to date and to make recommendations to inform future programming for the Oxfam team and partners, as well as the donor, ECHO. The evaluation itself will focus on a number of key questions in the following areas: overall impact of the programme, impact on gender equality, sustainability, as well as effectiveness of coordination with government and non-government actors.   Please see attached document for full ToR.

Procurement Category Manager

Oxford

£28,960 - £36,090
Central Procurement
Secure a good deal at work and what happens? You feel great, obviously. You might even help to increase shareholder value. But imagine if the money you saved actually improved the lives of millions of the world's poorest people? Bring your skills to Oxfam and it will.
With an £6million budget to work with, you'll help the HEAD OF CENTRAL PROCUREMENT take it as far as it can go. It'll mean building great relationships with suppliers and coming up with strategies and tools to ensure the rest of the team make decisions that are in line with best practice. You'll need a good purchasing background to do it, and some first-class negotiation skills too.

Spent an intriguing evening last week speaking on a panel at the wonderful Royal Society (Isaac Newton and all that), on the links between the post-2015 agenda and science. The audience was from the government/science interface – people with job titles like ‘Head of Extreme Events’.

I talked (powerpoint here – keep clicking) about how science can help developmentistas by bringing them up to date with what science is actuallyabout. Less Newton more Darwin, in terms of moving from a 19th Century world of linear causal chains, static equilibria and reductionism, to ecological and complexity thinking. I also tried linking some of the stuff I’ve been reading on complexity thinking with the Cynefin framework. It seems to me we need different kinds of science for the different quadrants:

• Complex: complexity theory, evolutionary/ecological approaches
• Knowable but complicated: more traditional analytic research methods aimed at nailing down causation
• Known: Just identify and roll out best practice
• Chaos: no idea – any suggestions?

The reason I like this is that it helps clarify when we need to bash our brains on complexity theory, and when we can stick with the old fashioned stuff. Convinced?

My other point was to stress that science has to address issues of power and distributive impact – issues like intellectual property rights and the current efforts to restrict poor countries’ access to medicines, but also the impact of new technologies. Geoengineering seemed to resonate as an example: it’s no good thinking about it as a purely technological challenge, you also have to think about winners and losers from its implementation (if they dump a million tonnes of iron filings in the oceans to absorb carbon, it isn’t going to be off the shores of Europe…..).

But enough about me, what did other people say? David Cameron’s post-2015 czar, Michael Anderson, was strikingly interested in complexity and uncertainty – a theme which dominated the evening. He stressed the political obstacles to taking them seriously – politicians don’t want to know; the public switches channel. Correcting that needs an educational effort from scientists, but also finding good ‘proxy indicators.’

Wrong model, guys

Proxy indicators are magical: they take the temperature of a complex system well enough to be useful, and they communicate directly with policy makers and public. According to Michael, the maternal mortality rate is the perfect example – an excellent proxy indicator for the overall state of health systems and a powerful means of communicating with a wider audience. Michael reckons we need such ‘canary in the mine’ indicators to help tackle complex processes such as climate change, conflict or the sustainability of oceans (apparently phytoplankton levels are the best guide to ocean health, but don’t cut it with Joe Public, so they went for fish stocks in the High Level Panel report).

The overall discussion on the role of science was a bit all over the place – I guess ‘Science’ is a very big thing. Perceptions of science are deeply split: policy-makers see it as a source of certainty – ‘what works’, ‘this we know’, ‘facts’ – that they can cling to in their daily swirling clouds of opinion and ideology. But scientists don’t agree – they are much more aware of the limitations of scientific knowledge and the messiness of the world.

Some of the conversation was more about the downstream application of science to implement policies and achieve whatever goals are agreed. For Ban Ki-Moon’s post-2015 special adviser Amina Mohammed, the issues were building scientific capacity in developing countries (entirely missing from the MDGs), linking science-blind parliaments and politicians with nascent scientific communities, and dealing with slow/bad data.

Over dinner (Chatham House rules), multi-disciplinarity got a hostile reception – people reckoned that sometimes you need a single discipline, sometimes a combo – it depends. Better, perhaps to try and adopt a ‘problem driven approach’. Identify the problem, and then see which disciplines jump to the task – shades of Matt Andrews’ ‘problem driven iterative adaptation’ again.

The conversation got heated (appropriately) on climate change, with scientists laying into the civil servants about the necessity of at least discussing the implications for growth (‘growth is exponential; the planet is finite – it doesn’t add up’), and the civil servants wearily explaining the nature of political realities – you can’t question the primacy of growth and keep your job.

And one lovely quote from Isaac Newton himself, nicked from Ben Ramalingam’s forthcoming book Aid on the Edge of Chaos: ‘I can calculate the movements of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of men.’ True that, judging by an evening with the boffins.

Benefits:    Attractive benefits including pension, medical and other insurances, good benefits for internationally relocated staff and an additional allowance of £4,000 net per annum

 Background

Oxfam GB has been working in the WASH sector of the DRC for over 30 years. Further to internal changes Oxfam GB has since mid 2012 redefined its WASH strategy with a renewed focus on WASH policy development with a specific emphasis on rural and small town water supply and sanitation as well as peri-urban and urban safe faecal disposal. The projects Oxfam is involved in are: the joint UNICEF and MoH Village Assaini and Ecole Assainie project which is by far the largest rural WASH services project. This project takes a pragmatic approach to WASH services provision with the community being the main services provider. Sanitation marketing projects in Equateur and possibly Kinshasa; A peri-urban project focusing on safe faecal disposal by using marketing techniques and collaboration with private actors; Cholera outbreak management in endemic areas; and Water Supply in Sanitation is smaller towns.

Most WASH donors and larger WASH organizations are looking actively at redefining and testing different institutional frameworks that could make the delivery of WASH services more sustainable and ensure accountability between services providers and services users. The private sector and local private initiative play an important role in these frameworks. The different (international) organizations in the DRC maintain close contact and share their experiences at regular intervals. Oxfam either works with or maintains close professional relationships with Dfid, GIZ, WB, AFD, CBT, WSP, KFW, who all have a stake in the WASH sector.

Oxfam aims to contribute specifically to the development of rural and peri-urban WASH services by engaging through these projects at strategic level with the other WASH actors and paying specific attention to notions of governance, sustainability, access to services and replicability.

The programme is to start around September 2013 and is initially defined on a five year cycle. In the delivery of the projects the WASH coordinator will be supported by the Oxfam capacities that operate on local and/or provincial level. The WASH coordinator follows through on these project in order to make sure that lessons learned are shared within the WASH sector. A sound project and programme methodological background in addition to an understanding of the institutional arrangements of delivering WASH services are essential for this position. A good technical understanding is desirable but could also be provided for in different ways, by drawing on experience and capacity already present in the organization. The total budget is about USD 7 million a year for a five year period.

The role

Reporting to the Programme Director, Will manage all aspects of the technical inputs into the programme, including technical assessments, technical designs, the implementation of technical components, monitoring of on-going work and budget monitoring.

Assist the line managers to develop the technical team's objectives in line with the DRC WASH strategy. Ensure that the (provincial) teams are receiving the right support to deliver high quality work and ensure that all programmes take gender and accountability issues into account. This includes mechanisms to enable men, women and children to participate in decision-making around WASH issues. Participate actively as a member of the Country Management Team (CMT).

The Person

To achieve this you will need to be dynamic and genuinely interested in humanitarian and development programme. You will have had experience in project management and objective oriented project planning; you are able to able to produce quality documents in French and English. Fluency in English and French is essential. You must be a proven networker with excellent communication skills and a self motivator. Previous working experience in DRC or similar would be an advantage. You will need strong interpersonal skills and the capacity to work effectively in a multi-cultural team.
