CARE Ethiopia is a humanitarian non-governmental organization committed to working with poor women, men, boys, girls, communities, and institutions to have a significant impact on the underlying causes of poverty. CARE seeks to contribute to economic and social transformation, unleashing the power of the most vulnerable women and girls.
The Feed the Future Ethiopia - Livelihoods for Resilience Activity (hereafter Livelihoods for Resilience) is a five-year USAID-funded project running from December 5, 2016 through December 3, 2021. Building from a preceding project called Graduation with Resilience to Achieve Sustainable Development (GRAD), Livelihoods for Resilience supports Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP) households to build resilient livelihoods with improved food and nutrition security, even in face of shocks and stresses. The project works closely with the livelihoods component of the PSNP, and targets PSNP households in 27 woredas of Amhara, SNNP, and Tigray regions, with the aim of enabling 97,900 households to graduate from the PSNP with resilience. The Livelihoods for Resilience Activity is implemented by a consortium of organizations led by CARE Ethiopia, which plays an overall leadership role and implements field activities in Sidama and Gedio Zones of SNNPR. The Organization for Rehabilitation and Development in Amhara (ORDA) implements activities in Amhara, the Relief Society of Tigray (REST) implements in Tigray, and Agri Service Ethiopia (ASE) implements in Hadiya Zone of SNNPR. SNV provides technical support for value chain development, private sector engagement, and agricultural extension.
The Livelihoods for Resilience Activity collected baseline data on intermediate result indicators in 2018 to serve as a benchmark to measure the performance of the intervention through repeated annual household surveys. Accordingly, the Livelihoods for Resilience Activity is seeking a consultant to conduct repeated annual assessment over the coming three years.
The overall objective of this multi-year consultancy work is to measure performance indicators of the project in order to track the progress towards ultimate outcomes and objectives. The specific objectives would be:
1. To measure outcome indicators annually to assess progress, including against yearly targets.
2. To conduct a multi-year trend analysis to understand changes over time
