| Overview of position | Building on the initial inputs provided by multiple international (including EU, USAID, GIZ and several partner INGOs) and national stakeholders during the development of the concept note, the participating UN agencies decided to arrange a joint coordination workshop with partners from Government, UN, and civil society to jointly review the scope of the programmeand agree upon the priority interventions.
To this end, the UN agencies conducted a two-day coordination workshop in Tunis in August 2022 with national and local government counterparts (the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Planning, and the Ministry of Local Government attending, as well as a representative from the Municipality of Sebha), as well as civil society actors, to discuss the proposed outcomes of this programme and to incorporate their valuable feedback in the project document.
In close coordination with the participating UN Agencies, the Ministry of Local Government led in-person consultations in Tripoli and online with all three mayors of the participating municipalities to gain further insights on local alignment of the programme. All three mayors endorsed the programme and offered their full collaboration for implementation, providing specific recommendations on how to tailor programming to the challenges in each municipality. To complement the Government interaction, a series of key informant interviews were carried out with civil society actors in the municipalities of Ubari and Ghat to gain further insights on community peacebuilding priorities.
The participating organizations have also discussed the programme outcome areas with existing private sector partners (both international and national) currently operational in Libya. Based on these informal consultations, common priorities of aligning corporate social responsibility programmes, boosting job creation and employment and supporting entrepreneurship have consistently emerged as outcome areas as well as the need to improve the conditions for business to function and grow in the South. These private sector partners include Toyota, Repsol, KIA (HB Group – National Conglomerate), Libyana (National Telecom) and National Oil Corporation (NOC) + Zallaf (part of NOC umbrella that manages licenses for the international firms such as Total & Shell). Inputs and lessons learned from local businesses and entrepreneurs who have participated in recent large recovery programmes covering the target districts (such as the UNDP Stabilisation Facility for Libya (SFL) project) have also been taken into consideration.
Inputs from all the above consultations have informed the present joint programme document and it is foreseen that a selection of the above-mentioned actors will be invited to form the PBF Steering Committee to ensure continued national (through the participation of the Ministry of Local Government and other technical ministries) and local ownership (through the participation of local authorities and community stakeholders). |
| Role objectives | The national consultant, guided by an international consultant will conduct the assignment inLibya.
A baseline analysis will generate an understanding of the current state for the purpose of creating a starting point for analysis of Peacebuilding through Community Stabilization in the Southern Libyan Municipalities of Ghat, Sebha & Ubari Project (Project) progress. As such, baseline analysis would, where possible, identify current state metrics that future state results can be evaluated against. A baseline analysis will establish current state outcomes/outputs prior to the Project implementation, which will help in assessing how well the program contributes to its stated outcomes once in effect. The baselines will reflect, if necessary, broader context, institutional, policy and environment aspects. The baselines will be valid, rigorous, and reproducible and any research methodologies or procedures used to generate specific measures in the baseline analysis will be well described to enable Project monitoring and evaluation. Baselines for the Project outcomes and outputs will be developed. Output measures will capture what a starting point in Project implementation in terms of specific goods, services, or products. Outcome measures will focus on long-term strategic objectives and capture the Project starting point in a broader context of three supported communities, with focus on expected systemic changes in the social and economic conditions that are expected from Project interventions. This baseline assessment will be participatory, with local stakeholders, to measure the status of all indicators and to understand the starting point of key elements of the work against which later progress will be measured. Scope of Work and Deliverables: In consultations with UN agencies involved into the Project, the consultant will undertake the following steps: 1) Support the international consultant to define the scope of the analysis specific to baselines in the areas of agencies’ responsibilities by working directly with the agencies. Propose feasible and cost-effective solution to narrow down the scope of analysis and focus only on the most relevant information;
2) Support the international consultant to collect qualitative, quantitative and contextual information regarding the current state in supported communities, regional and national levels. Identify sources of information, including the results of studies or prior reports that are relevant to the current state, statistical data and identifying key informant and target groups for surveys in three supported communities.
3) Support the national consultant in developing an inception report (IR). The IR will be shared with UN agencies and other relevant partners. The report will include a detailed methodology and tools to generate baselines and their values. As surveys can be the main vehicle to generate reliable baselines and values and the consultant will include in the IR proposed sample size, sampling plan, questions, technical tools to conduct surveys and other information. Other tools may include in-depth interviews with key local partners and beneficiaries, including CSOs. Suggested key informants will be identified and questions will be presented in the IR. The IR to include the approaches to review local decision making and institutional mechanisms, assess capacities of local partners, review capacity building interventions implemented, and generate new statistics from broader datasets. All three locations covered by the Project will be the target areas for this baseline. The IR will include also a plan for field work and data analysis. All used approaches will follow the conflict sensitivity principle by ensuring that the methodologies used do not result in increased risk for respondents, the Project team and the national consultant.
4) Local consultant will translate the approved IR data collection tools into Arabic.
5) Based on the approved IR, participate in data collection under the guidance and with involvement of the international consultant. The local consultant will administer surveys and organize focus groups and interviews in three communities if online tools such as Surveymonkey and MS Team and Zoom are not available or deemed not feasible to use. Following the field work, the consultancy team (international and national consultants) will prepare and deliver a short presentation to UN partners on the initial findings and draft baselines.
Building on the debrief and initial feedback received, the consultancy team will produce a draft baseline data that will be shared with UN agencies for review. The report will include, at a minimum: executive summary, list of acronyms, introduction, baseline context and purpose, baseline framework and methodology, and recommended Project baseline indicators with baseline values. Annexes will include the inception report, list of documents reviewed, list of persons interviewed or consulted and data collection instruments. The comments will be addressed and final baselines will be presented. |
