The project is aimed at reducingthe vulnerability of crisis-affected people, especially IDPs, returnees and the most vulnerable host communities in Baidoa district. Specifically, the project focuses on improving access to food supplies to vulnerable affected population in IDPs and host communities(Food Security and Livelihood) through provision of unconditional multi-purpose cash transfers. The project focuses on improving emergency access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene **(**WASH) through construction of water systems, distribution of WASH non-food items, construction of sanitation facilities and conducting hygiene promotion. To support protection to the vulnerable individuals, the project focuses on conducting child protection campaigns, establishment of community help desks, establishment of child protection safe spaces, supporting foster families, provision of psychosocial support and provision of psychosocial support (PSS) dignity kits.In improving access to essential health care and nutrition services (H&N) for IDP communities and vulnerable host communities the project facilitates access to a minimum health care package through OPD and mobile clinic, promotion of clean birthing and reducing new born infection and enhancing the capacity of MOH, community structures and implementing staff to offer quality health care services and increasing coverage. Existing secondary assessment findings shows that Somalia has 4.8 million people in need, with a significant concentration of needs in Bay and Bakool regions. (SomaliaHNRP2026) The project targets a total of Somalia: 230,000 (146,277 IDPs and 83,723 vulnerable households/host communities HHs) Endline Stakeholders The endline evaluation findings are intended to inform multiple stakeholders that are involved directly and indirectly in the project implementation. The following stakeholders will be involved in the endline evaluation process: Community members that are involved in the project implementation in Somalia. Host communities, Internal Displaced Persons (IDPs)/refugees/returnees in Somalia Local and international humanitarian organizations operating in Baidoa, Somalia Water Environment and Sanitation (WES) Department in Baidoa Ministry of Health (MoH) Somalia, Local authorities in the implementation regions Local implementing partners for GFFO-MARDO World vision Somalia Evaluation Purpose The main purpose of this endline evaluation is to document and inform stakeholders (donor, and participants) of the relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability, coverage and inclusion and potential impact of the project interventions including the contribution of the project to changes and its interaction with the broader humanitarian context. The evaluation will provide practical recommendations and document the lessons learnt for adoption in other WV projects. Specifically, key evaluation themes in line with OECD DAC criteria will be investigated during the evaluation process: Relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, impact, coverage and inclusion and connectedness The consultancy firm will also assess cross-cutting themes like protection, localization GEDSI as well as accountability to affected populations during the evaluation process. The pre-and-post project performance analysis with the baseline values compared against the end-of-project targets as well as significance of the change in the indicator performance will also be determined during the end-line evaluation. The specific objectives of the evaluation will be: To assess the extent to which the project has achieved the planned outcomes and outputs. To establish whether, and to what extent, the project design and interventions have been relevant to the needs of the target populations in Somalia. To measure the extent to which other interventions supported or undermined the intervention. To assess the extent to which the sectoral components and protection interventions (WASH, Shelter cash transfer, Livelihoods, Health, and nutrition) were implemented vis-à-vis the criteria outlined, OECD DAC criteria of relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and connectedness, and coverage. To establish indications of the impact of the project interventions to the target participants. To assess if the implementation of the short-term humanitarian activities has taken into account long-term and interconnected challenges? To assess how the project coverage and involvement of people living with disability To document lessons learnt and good practices that can be replicated in future projects Scope of the evaluation The endline evaluation will be conducted in Somalia Baidoa, where the project has been implemented. The evaluation will broadly assess the accomplishments of all the expected results (outcomes and outputs) as outlined in the project logical framework (logframe). Evaluation criteria and Questions The endline evaluation will be guided by the widely used and agreed OECD-DAC criteria for Humanitarian Assistance and Bond Evidence Principles criteria for evaluating humanitarian actions. Criteria Evaluation Questions Relevance: The relevance of the project will be assessed by looking into whether the humanitarian action is tailored to local needs, increasing ownership, accountability, and cost-effectiveness accordingly. Were interventions tailored to IDPs, returnees, refugees, and the host communitys needs (men, women, children, and other vulnerable population segments), settings and locations? To what extent were intended participants (beneficiaries, local stakeholders) involved in the design and implementation of the project? Was the project or any of its interventions adjusted or adapted due to changes in the broader context or the needs of the targeted communities? If so, how were targeted communities or participants involved in this. Did the activities contribute to the outcome and the objective of the project? Were there gaps in any sector, if yes, what are they and what more or different could WV and other stakeholders do to address the problem? To what extent do the communities and people affected by crisis, consider the complaints mechanisms accessible, effective, confidential, and safe? To what extent did beneficiary feedback influence project design and adjustments? To what extent did do-no-harm, conflict-sensitivity and social cohesion figure in the design and implementation of the project and its activities. To what extent were contextual risks and evolving needs considered and addressed during project implementation? Coherence: The extent to which the interventions of different actors are harmonized with each other, promote synergy, avoid gaps, duplication, and resource conflicts. To what extent are current partnerships increasing or compromising synergy? How and to what extent has the project engaged in effective coordination and strategic alignment with other actors to enhance complementarity and avoid duplication? To what extent did the project complement or duplicate interventions of other actors in the same geographic and sectoral areas? Which factors restricted coordination, and which supported it? Are there any coordination success factors that can be transferred to other situations? To what extent are partners strategic mandates being leveraged effectively? How relevant was the project to the priorities, strategies, and policies of the relevant government units? Coverage and Inclusion Evaluation of coverage will involve determining who is supported by humanitarian action, and why. What were the main reasons that the intervention provided or failed to provide major population groups with assistance and protection, proportionate to their need? To what extent are the most vulnerable participants being reached by WV Somalia and partner interventions? How successful has WV been reaching the most vulnerable groups in the most affected geographic areas? To what extent has the affected population been properly targeted and reached proportionate to their needs by WV Somalia, and MARDO ? To what extent were different groups especially people living with disability equally able to access services? Did the project apply inclusive approaches (e.g., adapted communication, tailored assistance, physical accessibility, gender-sensitive processes)? Effectiveness The extent to which an activity achieves its purpose, or whether this can be expected to happen on the basis of the outputs. To what extent have the intended outcomes (and use of output) been achieved by the end of the project? To what extent did the project built local capacities and worked towards improving the resilience of communities and people affected by crisis human-made or disasters? To what extent did the project build the local capacity, especially the local market vendors, clinics, health personnel (CHWS/CNVs) and the people affected by the crisis? What factors are contributing to achievement/ non-achievement of planned project results? What are the main operational bottlenecks, what is causing them and how can they be addressed Were IDPs, returnees, refugees and Host Community participants identified and assisted in a timely manner?
