Background

The “EU4Schools” Programme Phase 1’s Programme Evaluation is to provide an impartial assessment of the Programme, its relevance, quality performance, management, and achievements. For this purpose, two Evaluation Consultants will be engaged, one international and one national.

The International Consultant will work with the National Consultant, and jointly are responsible to work on the below listed deliverables and successfully complete the assignment. In that respect, throughout the assignment, the two consultants are expected to coordinate, and fulfil the tasks as efficiently as possible.

I.****Background and context

On November 26, 2019, a 6.3 magnitude earthquake hit Albania: it left 51 people dead and injured at least 913 others. Eleven municipalities situated in three prefectures (Tirana, Durrës and Lezha), with an approximate population of 1,185,286 persons, have suffered to varying degrees from the earthquake with 202,291 people affected directly or indirectly. According to government sources, around 17,090 affected inhabitants had to vacate their homes. For the first time in recent history, the Government of Albania announced a State of Natural Emergency in the three prefectures. According to the findings of the PDNA, the total effect of the disaster in the 11 municipalities amounts to 985.1 million EUR (121.21 billion ALL). Most of the damages are recorded in the Housing sector (78.5%), followed by the Productive sector (8.4%) and the Education (7.5%) sector.

According to the PDNA, damages were reported to 321 educational institutions (including crèches, pre-schools, basic schools, secondary schools, vocational and education training schools, high education schools and dormitories) in the 11 affected municipalities, representing 24% of all educational establishments in the country of Albania. About 90% of damaged institutions are in the public sector. The municipalities of Tirana and Durrës have the highest share of damage, with 55% and 21%, respectively. Schools were also damaged in smaller municipalities such as Vora, where half of all education facilities were either fully or partially destroyed. Furthermore, 60% of destroyed and damaged schools are in rural areas. In addition to infrastructure, the earthquake also damaged physical assets such as furniture, labs, ICT equipment, libraries, textbooks, and other learning materials. The physical infrastructure of education facilities, especially in rural areas, do not meet current regulations on safety and accessibility.

“EU4Schools” Programme is part of the European Union’s financial commitment during the International Donor’s Conference, organized in Brussels on February 17, 2020, to support the post-earthquake reconstruction efforts.

The overall objective is to further support local and national governments in reducing social and economic losses, and to accelerate the recovery process through educational facility repairs and reconstruction. The programme has two phases: the scope of Phase I extended to five municipalities, namely: Durrës, Kruja, Kurbin, Kavaja and Kamza. It targets 22 damaged education facilities as coordinated with the relevant national authorities. More information is provided on the EU4Schools (eu4schoolsportal.al).

The overall objective of the action is to support national and local governments in reducing further social and economic losses, and to accelerate the recovery process through educational facility repairs and reconstruction.

The specific objective/outcome are:

(i) To support repairing and reconstruction, including basic furnishing, of education facilities in municipalities affected by the earthquake according to international standards.

(ii) To provide increased transparency, accountability, and inclusiveness to the recovery process.

The Programme expected results are as follows:

Result 1: Education facilities repaired and furnished

Result 2: Education facilities reconstructed and furnished

Result 3: Strengthened transparency, accountability, and inclusiveness in this process of recovery

Partnership: The partnership is exercised in three forms:

(i) in the Programme Steering Committee (PSC) which brings together representatives of EU Delegation in Albania, UNDP Albania, as well as representatives of the central and local government. The PSC is responsible for providing strategic guidance and overseeing the EU4schools implementation. EU4Schools Phase I partners with 5 Municipalities impacted by the earthquake, namely Durrës, Krujë, Kamëz, Kurbin and Kavaja.

(ii) In addition, there is a Joint Coordination Team (JCT) with members from the core partners of the programme; the EU Delegation in Albania, the Government of Albania represented by the office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of State for Reconstruction and Reforms’ Program (DPMSRP), and UNDP Albania’s EU4Schools team. JCT gathers periodically (preferably every month), to discuss matters at hand and provide reliable solutions and prompt decision-making.

(iii) The Memorandum of Understanding signed with the five respective municipalities.

Target groups and beneficiaries: The EU4Schools Phase I Programme has direct and indirect beneficiaries. Direct beneficiaries are teachers, children and students of the education facilities being repaired or reconstructed; in total there are 8060 direct beneficiaries. Indirect beneficiaries are considered family and community members being impacted positively by the EU4Schools programme: in total there are 253 000 persons.

Main outputs: During the programme implementation, 22 education facilities in five Municipalities, were either repaired or reconstructed and retrofitted as per construction permits issued following approved technical projects’ design.

The implementation of the programme is based on two important principles, Build Back Better (BBB) and Build Back Together (BBT).

BBB guarantees that education facilities are repaired/reconstructed and retrofitted using the best possible standards in terms of: (i) general improvements, (ii) accessibility, (iii) energy efficiency, (iv) IT and smart solutions, (v) seismic resilience, and (vi) health and safety. A set of parameters are determined for each of the above standards.

BBT enables a framework for community participation during the reconstruction process. The first step is to assess the needs of the community and education facility users, afterwards present designs and consult the technical design with the beneficiaries and impacted community. In the end, during Place Checks, the beneficiaries and the community observes its contribution to the process by looking at the changes occurring in the design and reconstruction process.

Programme relevance and alignment: The programme was aligned with 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda and 2018 -2021 UNDP’s Strategic Plan: Development Setting C. Build resilience to shocks, crisis, and Signature Solution 3: Enhance prevention and recovery for resilient societies.

By delivering its objectives, the Programme is contributing to the achievement of the targets set within the Sustainable Development Agenda 2030, more specifically:

• SDG 4 “Quality education”,

• SDG 9 “Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure”,

• SDG 10 “Reduced Inequalities”,

• SDG 16 “Peace, justice and strong institutions" and

• SDG 17 “Partnership for the Goals”.

Duties and Responsibilities

a) Purpose

The Final EU4Schools Phase I Programme Evaluation aims to review and assess: (i) the relevance, (ii) effectiveness, (iii) efficiency, (iv) impact, (v) lessons learned and (vi) sustainability of the Programme.

b) Objective

The objective of this independent evaluation is to examine the overall performance of the EU4Schools Phase I programme including its results, inputs, activities, and how the outputs contributed to the reduction of the social and economic losses from the earthquake, and to the acceleration of the recovery as the main outcome of the programme. The evaluation should include an analysis of the effectiveness of the EU4Schools Phase I methodology, approach and communication with stakeholders and beneficiaries and their feedback.

The evaluation should also assess the impact created by COVID-19 in the programme implementation and identify the extent to which the observed changes caused by the pandemic, influenced the EU4Schools Programme Phase I implementation.

  4. Methodology

Based on the UNDP Evaluation Guidelines, UNEG Norms and Stand for Evaluations (2016) and in consultations with UNDP Country Office, the evaluation will be participatory, involving relevant stakeholders.

The International Evaluation Consultant and the National Evaluation Consultant (thereafter referred to as the Consultants) will propose an evaluation methodology and agree on a detailed plan for the assignment as a part of the evaluation Inception Report. The proposed methodology may employ any relevant and appropriate quantitative, qualitative, or combined methods to conduct the EU4Schools Programme Phase I Evaluation, exploring specific data collected and analytical methods and tools applicable. The Consultants are expected to creatively combine the standard and other evaluation tools and technics to ensure maximum reliability of data and validity of the evaluation findings.

Standard UNDP evaluation methodology would suggest the following data collecting methods:

  • Desk review: The Consultants will conduct a detailed review of the programmatic materials and deliverables including the Programme Document/Description of the Action and results framework programme periodic reports, annual workplans, consolidated progress reports etc. An indicative list of documents for desk review will be provided.
  • Key informant interviews: The Consultants will interview representatives of main institutional partners, EU and UNDP, other relevant stakeholders (e.g., Programme Steering Committee) and stakeholders in the five impacted Municipalities. For the interviews, the Consultants are expected to design evaluation questions around relevance, effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability criteria, according to different stakeholders to be interviewed. An indicative list of main stakeholders that may be considered for meetings will be provided.
  • Meetings / focus group discussions with beneficiaries: Site visits will be arranged to meet with local beneficiaries and stakeholders and review results of the programme.
  • Other methodologies, as appropriate, such as case studies, statistical analysis, observational visits, group discussions etc.[1]

As an integral part of the evaluation report and specifically under the impact criteria, the Consultants will review the programme effects and impact on its target groups. In this context an online survey can be created and distributed so that consultants gain insights from beneficiaries.

Stakeholders’ involvement: During the evaluation process, the Consultants are expected to meet senior representatives of the UNDP Albania, EU Delegation in Albania and the EU4Schools programme team, key partners, and stakeholders in all five impacted Municipalities.

Initial and evaluation briefing to obtain the critical feedback on the evaluation report, are envisaged.

To assess programme performance, approach and modalities, the Consultants will meet with key programme partners and stakeholders, members of respective ministries involved, local governments, Institute of Construction, and education facilities management teams. During these meetings, it would be important to record and accumulate inputs necessary not only for the programme evaluation, but also to highlight recommendations and advise on potential programme follow-up phase.

The expected duration of the assignment is up to 20 workdays, with approximately 7 days in field visits per each consultant.

The final methodological approach including interview schedule, field visits and data to be used in the evaluation should be clearly outlined in the inception report and fully discussed and agreed between parties.

  1. Evaluation tasks / deliverables

Following the initial briefing and a detailed desk review, the International and the National Consultant will work together for delivering of the following tasks:

  1. Inception Report (10-15 pages) will be presented before the evaluation starts, showing how each evaluation question will be answered by proposing methods, sources of data and data collection procedures. The Inception Report should elaborate an evaluation matrix for the EU4Schools programme Phase I and propose a schedule of tasks, activities, and evaluation deliverables as well as the draft report structure for the final evaluation report; both must follow the structure as per the UNDP Evaluation Guidelines.

  2. Evaluation and data collection mission: Upon the approval of the Inception Report and the evaluation work plan by the UNDP, the Consultants are expected to carry out the full programme evaluation. To collect data and insights on the programme, the Consultants will undertake fields missions to each impacted Municipality and some of the education facilities being repaired/reconstructed respectively, and have meetings and interviews with relevant stakeholders, including local government, beneficiaries, and community members. In addition, stakeholders’ meetings with the partnering central government institutions will be organised in Tirana, Albania. The UNDP will provide support in organization of meetings and logistical arrangements as necessary.

  3. Evaluation debriefings: will be held with UNDP Albania and EU4Schools Programme Phase I team, and other key stakeholders as agreed, to present main findings and recommendations either face-to-face or via other online forms as agreed.

  4. Draft Evaluation Report: Based on the findings generated through desk review and data collection missions, the Consultants will prepare and submit the Draft Evaluation Report to the UNDP Albania and EU4Schools team for review.

  5. Evaluation review process (and eventual dispute settlement): Comments, questions, suggestions, and requests for clarification on the evaluation draft will be submitted to the Consultants and addressed in the agreed timeframe. The Consultants should reply to the comments through the evaluation audit trail document[2]. If there is disagreement in findings, these should be documented through the evaluation audit trail, while effort should be made to come to an agreement.

  6. Final Evaluation Report (minimum 50 pages of the main body) should be logically structured, containing data and evidence-based findings, conclusions, lessons, and recommendations, and be presented in a way that makes the information accessible and comprehensible.
