Humanitarian situation and needs:

As the Syrian Crisis nears its eighth year, the number of Syrians seeking refuge in other countries has reached an unprecedented scale. With more than 250,000 people killed, 1.2 million injured and 6.5 million people displaced, there are now 13.5 million vulnerable people inside Syria alone. Over 5 million refugees from Syria have fled to neighbouring countries particularly Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Egypt

After Turkey, Lebanon is the second host country for Syrian refugees with just under 1 million refugees registered (and an estimated .5 million unregistered) for an overall population of less than 4.5 million (Source: OCHA Bulletin n33 2018). Prior to this crisis, Lebanon was already hosting half a million Palestinian refugees; the pressure on the Lebanese government and local population is very high. Social tensions between communities relate primarily to the competition for unskilled works, while recent surveys (ARK 2018) have shown that there are less and less interactions between refugees and Lebanese. Due to some concern of infiltration of terrorist groups in Lebanon, in March 2015, the government of Lebanon, through the General Security Directorate, is enforcing entry regularization among refugees entering from Syria. The Lebanese government has also asked the UNHCR to stop the registration process hence new refugees and new born babies cannot be registered anymore either. Since then, it is now much harder for Syrians to enter the country, while those residing in Lebanon are also facing difficulties in renewing their residency or having access to humanitarian aid or public facilities. This situation will cause an increased economic strain on the families, although the ban on work has been left (for occupations related to construction, agriculture and maintenance only) in 2016.

Humanitarian consequences:

As the Syrian crisis is now protracted, with unprecedented number of civilians affected by the constant violation of the Humanitarian laws, there is little perspective for the refugees to return to their home country. The Syria Crisis Response Conference which took place in London in 2016 clearly intends to address the humanitarian needs of this protracted crisis, by setting up consistent multi years response tackling current issues, considering the evolution of needs and the and the necessity to provide the refugees from Syria with some perspectives and ensuring the social stability in Lebanon. The spill over of the Syrian crisis into Lebanon compounded pre-existing vulnerabilities among the Lebanese society, especially in areas where the level of social infrastructures is not developed or strong enough to cope with. First challenge is the reduction of the aid available to tackle basic needs: as of end of September, only 45% of the funding requested by humanitarian partners was received to respond to the Syrian Crisis in Lebanon.

This led to decrease in basic assistance provided to the refugees, and therefore to an escalation in negative coping mechanisms of most vulnerable households, (such as begging, child labour, child marriages, sexual services for food/accommodation, limitation of movements due to transportation costs, etc.).
What is more, if (un)conditional cash assistance is the main relevant way to respond most basic needs of registered poorest refugee families, level of indebtedness is a key factor for explanation of vulnerability In the long lasting crisis, and needs to be monitored constantly. As weather conditions are also very harsh in the winter, access to proper shelter conditions is a main priority as well. Most vulnerable Syrian refugees are mainly settled in small shelter units (SSU), collective shelters (CS) or informal settlements (IS).
London Syrian Crisis Conference focuses as well on the education and health services provision, which need to be upgraded in terms of quality and provided in a more sustainable way, as no return to Syria is realistic in the short term.

Some key figures extracted from the 2018 Vulnerability Assessment of Syrian Refugees (VASyR) highlight the severity of the protraction of the crisis: more than 1 out of 2 households live below the survival minimum expenditure basket (less than 2.9 USD/person/day); nearly all refugee households (97%) apply negative coping strategies; 1 in 4 refugee households report humanitarian assistance (WFP vouchers) as their primary source of income; 34% of households live in shelters which are not fit for living (either non residential or non permanent structures); 23% of households requiring secondary healthcare cannot access it (primarily because of financial constraints); 5% of children aged between 5 and 17 work at least one day per month to complement household income, etc.

Refugee populations have in many cases settled in areas inhabited by impoverished and vulnerable Lebanese communities further stretching limited or non-existent sources of income and public services at the local level, and especially in poorest areas such as Akkar.

As part of our actions in lebanon, we are looking for a Field Coordinator in Akkar.

HEKS/EPER Swiss Church Aid is the aid organisation of the Protestant Churches of Switzerland and has its headquarters in Zurich/Switzerland. HEKS/EPER works towards a more humane and more equitable world, assisting people and communities to overcome economic, social or humanitarian disparities in order to gain autonomy and to live with dignity both in Switzerland and abroad. Therefore, HEKS/EPER engages in development cooperation, humanitarian aid and church cooperation. HEKS/EPER has its own coordination offices in presently 19 key countries and around 200 projects world-wide. HEKS/EPER is a member of the ACT Alliance.

1 Description of the intervention
HEKS/EPER has been providing humanitarian assistance through its local partner Najdeh in Lebanon through unconditional cash and cash for work interventions since 2013 as a response to the Syrian Crisis. These interventions have been taking place in the two Palestinian Camps Shatila and Borj el Borajne.
The overall goal of the cash for work interventions have been to increase the resilience of the refugee families from Syria and host families in these two camps. With the main outcomes:

• Improved living conditions of the most vulnerable PRS through shelter rehabilitation in Shatila and Borj el Borajne camps
• Good environmental health conditions in the camps through camp cleaning activities in both camps
• Improved social cohesion between refugee and host community through joint Cash for Work activities serving the public good (diapraxis)

The project targeted the most vulnerable PRS1 as well as PRL families in these camps. The project was developed in the belief that the resilience of the refugees could be increased if project activities contributed towards their integration into the host community. Thus, the Cash for Work activities aimed at increasing the social cohesion between these two communities and reducing tensions due to the competition for already scarce resources. For this purpose, members from both communities were encouraged to participate in these activities which should benefit both communities (e.g. camp cleaning).

2 Purpose and Scope of the Evaluation
Swiss Church Aid (HEKS/EPER) seeks to procure the services of a consultant, to design, plan and conduct an evaluation of its cash-for-work projects in Lebanon.
The purpose of the consultancy is three-fold:

• To assess whether an increased social cohesion between PRS and PRL can be observed and if so, to what extent the cash-for-work activities have contributed to this increased social cohesion.
• To develop recommendations for future cash-for-work projects in similar contexts in order to maximise their contribution to social cohesion.
• To validate the Theory of Change for social cohesion interventions.

The target audience of this evaluation are the management staff of the partner organisation in Lebanon (Najdeh), the Country Director Lebanon and the Desk Officer for the Lebanon portfolio at HEKS HQ. They will utilize the results of the evaluation to adapt their programming, and to transfer lessons learnt to other interventions. The results will also be utilized by the Thematic Advisors for Conflict Transformation and Conflict Sensitivity to refine HEKS/EPER s strategy on social cohesion in humanitarian interventions, and by the M&E Unit for reporting purposes.
The specific intervention to be covered by this evaluation is the project Improving living conditions and social cohesion among PRS and PRL The project and its previous phases which included this Cash for work approach have been implemented since 1.1.2017 with an overall budget of around 2 Million CHF in Shatila and Borj al Barajneh camps in Lebanon. Project implementation will end on December 31st, 2018.

3 Evaluation Criteria and Questions
The evaluation will primarily assess the OECD-DAC criterion of effectiveness. To the extent possible, the OECD-DAC criterion of impact should also be assessed.
a) Effectiveness

• Has there been an increase in social cohesion between PRS (Palestinian Refugees from Syria) and PRL (Palestinian Refugees from Lebanon) in Shatila and Borj al Borajne?

More specifically, has there been an increase between PRS and PRL in:

• Contact,
• Positive communication,
• Respect,
• Trust,
• Self-perceived security?

b) Impact

• To what extent have the cash-for-work activities contributed to this increased social cohesion?
• How did this change happen?

4 Evaluation Methodology and Process
The evaluation should utilize a mixed-methods approach with a representative, quantitative survey to assess the effectiveness question, and purposive, qualitative interviews to assess the impact question, i.e. the contribution of the cash-for-work activities to increased social cohesion. Due to the absence of robust baseline data and the absence of a comparison group, the assessment of impact using a counterfactual evaluation design is not possible. It is therefore anticipated that impact will be assessed using a combination of checking the consistency of evidence with causal relationships and ruling out alternative explanations.

The evaluation process consists of several stages:
Home-based:

• Application: Bidding, selection of consultant
• Inception: Document review, inception report, data collection tools for exploratory research

Field-based:

• Preparation of data collection Part 1: Exploratory research (qualitative interviews with PRS and PRL, as well as with staff from the partner organisation) to define key concepts of social cohesion, such as respect, trust, and self-perceived security
• Preparation of data collection Part 2: Developing the quantitative and qualitative data collection tools
• Data collection: Training enumerators, field-testing the data collection tools, conducting the quantitative and qualitative data collection
• Data analysis: Preliminary analysis based in the field as a pre-requisite for validating the Theory of Change for social cohesion interventions
• Validation workshop: Validating the Theory of Change for social cohesion interventions in a participatory manner with PRS and PRL representatives, and staff from the partner organisation

Home-based:

• Data analysis: Conduct full data analysis
• Reporting: Drafting and finalising the report

5 Deliverables
Application stage:

• As part of the application, the consultant is expected to comment on the proposed methodology and process; other comments on the ToR are also invited

Inception stage:

• Inception report (draft, final), detailing the methodology and process for the evaluation, including an evaluation matrix, a draft sampling strategy, a suggested sample size, and the draft tools for the exploratory research

CONTEXT

The medical department is based in Brussels with decentralized units or positions in Cape Town, the Southern African Medical Unit (SAMU), in Luxembourg, the Luxembourg Operational Research unit (LuxOR), in Beirut, in Rome and in Rio. The department is composed of members working in the operations department in a dual-matrix system (deputy cell coordinators & medical officers) and experts working in the medical department itself. The experts cover the following domains: anaesthesia & intensive care, antibiotic resistance, capacity building & mentoring for healthcare professionals, change management, chronic non-communicable diseases, data protection & data sharing, emergency medicine & toxicology, emergency preparedness, environmental health, epidemiology, general surgery & orthopaedics, health promotion & anthropology, hepatitis C, HIV, infection prevention & control, ..

The aim of the Medical Department is to improve the quality of MSF interventions in the field. This is done through 3 main activities: direct support to the field (field visits, technical advices etc.), training of MSF medical staff according to defined policies and protocols and support to operational research. The Mobile Implementation Officers (MIO) specifically help field teams with the implementation in the projects.

Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) in MSF

IPC is a practical, evidence-based approach preventing patients and health care workers from being harmed by avoidable hospital acquired infections and hospital outbreaks. The global increase of microbial multi-drug resistance urges all healthcare facilities to improve on infection prevention and control practices to reduce preventable morbidity, mortality and financial expenditure. An era where patients are colonized or infected with bacteria resistant to all antibiotics is approaching fast and is already present in certain facilities.

IPC within MSF focuses on standardization, simplification, and a focus on what MSF consider the essentials . This includes organizational aspects, the hospital environment, ancillary services and diagnostics. But it also includes the three pillars of hand hygiene, cleaning and disinfection (of the environment and reprocessing of reusable medical devices), and transmission-based precautions including appropriate isolation when indicated. The main health care associated infections (HAIs) targeted are surgical site infections and catheter related bloodstream infections.

OBJECTIVE OF THE FONCTION

Each health care facility needs to develop an infection prevention and control program to ensure quality of care and safety of patients, caretakers and staff. The MIO will assist the health care facilities to ensure correct IPC measures.

This MIO position is based in Lebanon together with the Infectious Disease/Antibiotic Resistance (ABR) referent, the microbiologist, the health promotion referent in the MSF-OCB decentralized medical unit in the branch section MSF Lebanon. By regular contact through skype, videoconference, and visits to Brussels, he/she stays connected to the IPC referent and the operational cells.

This MIO position will be responsible for the implementation support in the following countries: Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Gaza and Lebanon.
