CALL FOR CONSULTANT: Evaluation-End line SurveyDisaster Resilience through
Enhanced Adaptive Measures Funded by Act for Peace (AfP) - ANCP (the
Australian NGO Cooperation Program),CWS/Indonesia, July-August 2020
I. Background
SouthSulawesi province, with the population of 8 million people,
chronicallyexperiences severe floods, landslides and earthquakes. Earthquake
hazard ishigh in the northern part of the province due to the highly active
Palu-Koroand Matano fault systems, and moderate in central South Sulawesi due
to theWallanae Fault. South Sulawesi also experiences droughts and other
severeweather events, including extreme wind. The south and northeast coasts of
theprovince have moderate tsunami risk. All 24 districts and municipalities in
SouthSulawesi are ranked high risk by BNPB, including Tana Toraja district
wherefloods and landslides are the main hazards during the rainy season. During
thedry season, draught and forest fires also negatively affect communities.
Theresults of a 2016 CWS Hazard Vulnerability and Capacity Assessment confirm
thisinformation.
Changedweather patterns associated with El Niño have had an impact to an
estimated 22million people in 2015/16, and the BNPB declared a drought
emergency in theaffected districts. Dry conditions, a late monsoon season onset
and erraticrainfall led to crop failures, lower than usual agricultural yields
and, insome cases, unavoidably delayed planting. El Niño was followed by a mild
LaNiñain 2016, which is typically associated with the opposite weather
effectscreating a risk of severe flooding and further damage to crops that
couldexacerbate food shortages.
Together, these realities will result in reducedhousehold incomes in the
impacted regions, one of which is South Sulawesi, andhere particularly the Tana
Toraja District. The increasing irregular weatherpatterns have not only caused
torrential rainfall and triggered landslides,they have also decreased the yield
of the main crops (rice and coffee) in TanaToraja. The intensity of climate
hazards has profound impacts on theagriculture sector which remains the main
source of livelihood for the peopleof Tana Toraja. It is therefore imperative
that communities in Tana Torajaadapt to the changing climate and weather
patterns
Funded by Act for Peace (AfP) - ANCP (the Australian NGO CooperationProgram),
CWS have been implemented the Disaster Resilience through EnhancedAdaptive
Measures (DREAM) that is designed to support communities engaged inbuilding
adaptive capacities, reducing the risks presented by ongoing climatechange and
building resilience.
After 3 years program implementation, CWS plan to conduct the evaluation-end
line surveyto evaluate the current condition relatedwith climate change
adaptation (CCA) and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR of thecommunities to provide
recommendation on the most appropriate strategies forthe next phase.
II. Objective of the Evaluation-Endline Survey:
Theobjective of the evaluation- end line survey is to measure the project goal
achievementby collect data (qualitative and quantitative) on which be measured,
comparedand analyzed against the Evaluation-End line survey value, overall
objectiveindicators and expected result indicators of the project.
Specific objectives:
· To measure the current level of target communities’
knowledge,attitude, and practice (KAP) on community based adaptation related to
climate vulnerability.This will cover issues adaptation/coping mechanism, land
use and agriculturalproduction, vulnerability of farmers to climate change,
technologies andintervention promoted, and adaptation policies.
· To measure the current KAP level of target community and government
ondisaster risk reduction (DRR) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA). This
willcover issue on community participation, their interest, knowledge, skills
andattitudes in disaster risk reduction, emergency response preparedness,
earlyactions to disaster and community-based early warning system – especially
thetarget groups in the target communities.
· To measure degree of implementation on effectiveness,
efficiency,accountability, sustainability, inclusivity and quality delivered on
outputsand outcomes, against what was originally foreseen in the project
document,M&E frameworks, including the area of partnership between CWS and
PusbinlatMotivator.
· To provide recommendations for future program by analyzing theproblems
and issues which remain unresolved on program areas (DRR and CA)
· To identify and document substantive lessons learnt and good
practiceson the thematic areas as defined in outputs and other crosscutting
issues
