International Consultancy Services to Strengthen Safeguard Mechanisms in Donor-supported Development Programs in Ethiopia

2011-09-20T10:37:00.000+02:00

In 2009 a number of allegations were made concerning the distortion of donor-supported development programs. The allegations included the suggestion that people have been excluded from particular programs (including public works programs and food aid) or employed to deliver services funded by the programs on the basis of political affiliation.

Donors have an obligation to ensure that their funds are used effectively for the purposes intended, and that the gprograms that they support have effective mechanisms in place for preventing, detecting and addressing distortion. They also recognize that programs which play an important role on delivering long-term development outcomes for the Ethiopian people must not be derailed by allegations that are ill-informed. Donors are in agreement that well functioning accountability systems acting as an integral part of supported programs are key to the prevention and detection of distortion, as is stakeholder ability to monitor and evaluate the functioning of these accountability systems, and the programs as a whole.

In recognition of this, the Development Assistance Group of Donors (DAG) commissioned the “Aid Management and Utilisation in Ethiopia” study (henceforth the AMU study), which sought to examine the robustness of systems and safeguards in place in four major supported programs (the Productive Safety Nets Program, the Protection of Basic Services, The Relief Program and the Targeted Supplementary Feeding Program) to prevent, detect and address distortion. The study also looked at data and measurement mechanisms relating on effectiveness and targeting.

The AMU study showed that each of the programs is supported – some more than others – by safeguards and accountability systems that provide robust check on distortion,. However, it also concluded that there was room for improvement and identified specific actions for the four programs in question, and also made suggestions for future work. DAG members have now agreed to pursue and monitor progress on the AMU recommendations, to gain a better direct understanding of the situation on the ground and to institutionalize mechanisms for ensuring the existence and effectiveness of safeguards.

Aim and Objective

The aim of this consultancy is to provide a focal point for the management of the ongoing strengthening safeguards of donor supported programs in Ethiopia, particularly with respect of program safeguards intended to detect or prevent distortion. As a starting point it recognizes the work on safeguards already done, and the measures in place, not only resulting from the AMU study but also in original program design and ensuing dialogue. Moving forward, the consultancy will seek to test, strengthen and synthesize these measures through processes of research, ground-truthing and dialogue.
The focus will be threefold, namely:

To build on the AMU study by performing a review of GEQIP and PSCAP (therefore filling what DAG saw as the key gap in the coverage of programs in the AMU study).
To perform sufficient fieldwork to gain a better understanding of the programs at the point of delivery. This will involve ground-truthing the current safeguards in place for each program, the findings and recommendations of the AMU and agreed actions of the relevant programs through such instruments as joint review missions. This should be seen as part of a process of gaining a comprehensive view of the strengths and weaknesses of programs supported in respect of its safeguards, resulting in an independent appraisal of whether the safeguards themselves go far enough and contribute to development effectiveness and the minimization of distortion.
To develop effective, institutionalized monitoring and evaluation mechanisms for continuous, real-time appraisal of the safeguards that form an integral part of supported programs.

Recipient

The recipient of the consultancy services will be the DAG.

National Consultancy Services to Strengthen Safeguard Mechanisms in Donor-supported Development Programs in Ethiopia

2011-09-14T21:20:00.000+02:00

The consultancy will have three parts, which may be conducted in sequence.

The first part will be an extension of the AMU study to cover the PSCAP and GEQIP programs. This will be a desk-based study of the systems in place in the two programs in question to prevent, detect and address distortion, and a review of the existing evidence about how effectively these systems work. This will involve:

* Compilation of known concerns about distortion in donor-supported programs, and about the effectiveness of systems to prevent, detect and address distortion;
* Review of documentation (program documents) and consultation with informed parties to understand how the various programs are supposed to work in terms of preventing, detecting and addressing distortion;
* Review of documentation (monitoring, evaluation, and audit reports) and consultation with informed parties to gather existing evidence about how the various programs have worked in terms of preventing, detecting and addressing distortion;
* Review of ongoing initiatives to address concerns that have been raised about distortion;
* Draft a report on findings.

The second part of the work will concentrate on a thorough review of safeguards in place, as a follow-up to the AMU study. This will involve, through a process of substantial fieldwork a review of all programmatic safeguards, including those present at design or as a result of ongoing joint reviews and program supervision missions, and the recommendations of the AMU. The work will assess the strength of safeguards, the relevance and feasibility of any recommendations already made, and work performed as part of ongoing reviews undertaken by the programs themselves. Where relevant, it will also assess the extent to which specific recommendations have been acted upon resulting from either ongoing programmatic review activity or the AMU study, and what further progress can be made to enhance accountability, transparency and freedom from distortion. In respect of the AMU, this will include:

* For PSNP, a study of the effectiveness and targeting information now produced for the program, along with appeals process information and key performance data, along with analysis of the extent to which key information is publically disclosed, and a review of the progress of establishment of Regional Information Centres;
* For PBS, a study of measures to increase financial transparency and social accountability. In particular, the review will ask what measures are in place to eliminate distortion around access to employment or goods and services, or use of funds for political training.
* For the Relief Program, initiatives taken for enhanced relief monitoring, and for improvements in targeting;For the targeted Supplementary Feeding Program, the review will assess the progress made in improving targeting, reducing levels of false inclusion and improving monitoring and evaluation.
* For GEQIP and PSCAP the field review will be determined according to the outcomes of the first phase, in the same spirit like for PBS.
* Wherever possible this should be augmented by a first-hand analysis of the situation that exists on the ground, particularly in respect of citizens and their ability to hold the roll-out of the programs to account. Wherever possible, such analysis should be cross-cutting, viz. not restricted to one or other specific program.

This study will then make further recommendations for monitoring and evaluation going forward, recognizing that:

* Where possible, country systems rather than stand-alone donor mechanisms should be utilized, exemplifying a partnership between donors and the Government of Ethiopia to strengthen core systems of accountability and effectiveness;
* Despite this, where appropriate, balance is needed. There may be times when, to maintain credibility of evaluation, some processes may need to be independent of government, or of implementing donors, or both. There may be other times when a joint approach is the most feasible and cost effective way forward.
The third part of the consultancy will involve a review of the options around how the appraisal of safeguards, accountability mechanisms and transparency initiatives of the programs can be better institutionalized and synthesized. This will start by recognizing that in various donor supported programs, donors are striving to supplement the established country systems of accountability with additional means of validation and cross-checks. Based on this, the consultancy work will look at:

* the ways to bring together findings from different programs on an on-going basis and to provide the DAG and the GOE with a comprehensive picture of the situation on the ground;
* the possible scope for transplanting lessons learnt from one program across others (or, indeed, to government service delivery more generally);
* Arrangements for co-ordination and maintenance of dialogue around this monitoring and evaluation, looking at options around reporting to the DAG, GoE and the people of Ethiopia, and considering mechanisms for the management and discussion of these processes (e.g. via stakeholder steering groups, etc.).

Conditions of work:

The consultant will be hired of an initial period six months. Under the supervision of the Team Leader (International Consultant), the national consultant will liaise closely with leads from DAG member agencies.
The national consultant will provide research and other related support to the international consultant. He/she is expected to enhance the quality of work through their knowledge of the local environment.
