Purpose / Project Description:

Mercy Corps is implementing a range of vocational skills training programmes for Afghan refugees and host communities in Balochistan, Pakistan, and for returnees, IDPs and local Afghans in Kandahar, Afghanistan. The EU funded Economic Opportunities for Afghan Uprooted People programme works on both sides of the border to offer market-demand led skills training and support in finding employment or self-employment for 2,640 people.

Mercy Corps teams in Afghanistan and Pakistan are keen to learn how to improve our collective work in three ways:

• Drawing from our different approaches in the distinct contexts where the programme is implemented;
• In the context of returnees in 2017, gaining a better understanding of return intentions and how our work might support returnees;
• As we are working with conservative communities, we wish to look more closely at how we might improve efforts to support opportunities for women;
• Relevance of skills acquired in Pakistan by returnees in Afghanistan.

Consultant Objectives and Research Questions:

Mercy Corps seeks to ensure that the program is on track for achieving its objectives, and to explore if there are opportunities to improve the provision and appropriateness of training in the final stages of the project. Findings will also contribute to the final evaluation to be produced at the completion of the program.

The evaluation will focus on areas of program implementation (Quetta, Balochistan, Pakistan; Kandahar District, Afghanistan). The anticipated duration for completion of the assignment is approximately six weeks.

The scope of work will also exclusively focus on Mercy Corps Afghanistan/Pakistan EC-funded cross border programs, however if deemed appropriate and relevant, can utilise monitoring data from similar programs to support any gaps in evidence.

The principal research questions will be formulated around OECD Development Assistance Committee[1]evaluation categories.

1. Male Vocational Training Graduates

2. Do students value a standardized curriculum vs. local master trainers from the marketplace differently? Which aspects are perceived as more beneficial? (Relevance and Effectiveness)

3. What are the perceptions of employers or apprenticeship-hosts about the technical skills of participants that work for them? Do they value the skills that participants get from a standardized curriculum or local master trainers higher? (Relevance)

4. In each country, which training modules were perceived by training graduates as most useful in terms of: i) Finding employment; ii) Finding self-employment (i.e. starting their own business or livelihood)? What additional topics would they consider beneficial? (Relevance and Effectiveness)

5. What do successful graduates perceive as the main obstacles to them translating new skills into employment / livelihood opportunities? (Effectiveness)

6. Are the opportunities for skills training aligned with graduates preferences for employment? (Relevance)

7. How has the training affected graduates willingness to return? (Effectiveness)

8. Which provinces do graduates believe offer the best employment opportunities? (Relevance)

9. Female Community Midwife training graduates

10. What benefits and challenges do women anticipate from the different forms of post-graduate support? (Business incubators/women s associations/e-commerce etc.) (Relevance and Effectiveness)

11. What obstacles the graduated midwives face in terms of equivalency of their certificates in Afghanistan?

12. How do women perceive the best routes to access local markets (in terms of selling or production)? (Effectiveness)

13. What is the perception of the SGBV trainings among trainees? Do women feel that this is relevant and addresses protection concerns? (Relevance and Effectiveness)

14. What are women s main sources of information on the market for their sector? Do they find these sources reliable? (Effectiveness)

A multi-methods phone survey of graduates, supplemented by Key Informant Interviews of employers and apprenticeship-hosts, is preferred, though alternative methods are more than welcome within proposals.

Data previously collected by Mercy Corps (including market surveys of Balochistan and Kandahar) will be available for triangulation, and graduate contact details will be made available.

Project Summary:

In November 2015 MSI was awarded a three-year contract to conduct third party monitoring (TPM) of Afghanistan Reconstruction Trust Fund (ARTF) projects for the World Bank. The ARTF TPM program was put in place to meet a number of objectives:

1. Given an increasingly challenging security environment, the TPM program provides critical data from the field as input to the World Bank's implementation support and GoA line ministries' own monitoring systems. The TPM program provides data on nationwide project sites, including asset verification and quality assurance, where World Bank staff are not always able to systematically visit the sites of geographically widely disbursed projects.

2. The TPM program provides additional evidence that World Bank-funded programs are being implemented correctly, provides assurance to donors, focusing on infrastructure quality assurance and social and environmental safeguards, gender issues and select financial/fiduciary aspects.

3. The Supervisor Agent (SA) provides GoA line ministries with project monitoring and data collection support and shows how such practices could improve GoA project performance and results. This also helps strengthen GoA line ministries' own monitoring programs. The SA reports directly to the World Bank, but also works closely with GoA line ministries responsible for project implementation at local and central levels.

**Please note: Only Afghan citizens are eligible for this position.

Position Summary:

The Team Lead (TL) will provide overall management to MSI's third party monitoring team, including subcontractor oversight, and will be the primary Point of Contact between the World Bank Task Team Leaders (TTLs) in Kabul and MSI.
