ShelterBox
ShelterBox (SB) are looking to contract a Consultancy to provide an impartial assessment of the SB response to conflict in Ukraine serving the dual purpose of accountability and learning.
It will employ quantitative and qualitative methods to assess both project process and outcome to better understand the extent to which objectives were achieved and emergency shelter was provided in a safe and accountable way to affected communities. The evaluation will:
1) Generate evidence to document and celebrate project success and good practice
2) Identify the challenges faced
3) Suggest recommendations that will be relevant for future projects
Findings will support and strengthen ShelterBox project development and management and contribute to organisational learning and strategy.
4.1 Specific Objectives Specific areas of inquiry will involve:
• To assess the partner identification, capacity assessment, selection and engagement
• To assess the design (planning, delivery and management of the project) in accordance with organisational processes and standards.
• To identify and assess key internal and external factors that have contributed to, affected, or impeded the project and how ShelterBox have managed these factors.
• To assess the extent to which accountability to affected populations was realised: How did the project engage with project participants, identify priority needs, communicate objectives, and enable feedback mechanisms?
• To draw key lessons and learning from the project and make recommendations that will help inform ShelterBox projects
The learning from the evaluation is primarily intended to support SB organisational learning, and to support SB processes and practices so that we are better able to respond to future humanitarian crisis. As relevant, it will be shared with stakeholders to communicate findings and celebrate successes and recommendations.
