• Description:
• Tenders are invited for Rehabilitation of Water Infrastructures, South Ar-Raqqa: Mansoura. Rehabilitation of 1 treatment station which will provide water to area populated with an estimated 14,013 individuals gathered in 1 village. Intervention : SI-s proposed action enable water supply in the area to shift from emergency relief assistance to more a sustainable provision of services by the local authorities to communities. This shift also aims at returning water supply to the context of pre-war Syria. Increased service provision for access to water should be creating stability for returned communities, and reinforcing the general perception of political stability in the Ar-Raqqa region presently. This funding also allows a much more integrated and wider scope of assistance targeting the area of northern Ar-Raqqa governorate which has not been targeted by agencies focusing on Ar-Raqqa city and Deir Ez zor. The overall goal of the project was to restore the production capacities of the water department through the rehabilitation of water infrastructures and support of water departments. The intervention more especially aims at improving water access and water quality for the population of through the rehabilitation of water infrastructure (Ar-Raqqa, Al Hassakeh and Aleppo governorates) and support to water departments (Ar-Raqqa, Deir ez Zor and Al Hassakeh governorates) Two main outputs are expected for this project : -Output 1: Needs in terms of drinking water are covered from rehabilitated water management infrastructures *Output 2: Capacities of local water authorities are reinforced to enable a proper and durable water management linked to drinking water access Purpose of Evaluation: After One and a Half Years of Implementation of this Program, this Evaluation Includes: 1. Sustainable Impact of the Intervention (Technical Review and Water Department Perspective) ; 2. Relationship between Si and Contractors Implementing the Works, from the Purchase Process to the Final Approval of the Works 3. Operation of the Rehabilitated Infrastructures, Seen from the Operators Level By Choosing These Topics, Si Aims at Having an outside Perspective on the Quality of the Intervention Conducted by Si and its Relationship with Water Departments, Contractors and Technical Operators of Water Stations. This Evaluation Also Aims at Gathering Qualitative Feedback on Aspects of the Intervention that were not the Main Focus of Monitoring Activities Conducted by Si. First, this Evaluation will Focus on the Sustainability of the Interventionthe Objective of the Project is to Support the Recovery of the Water Systems in North East Syria by Rehabilitating the Infrastructures and Giving Means to Water Departments to Sustainably Manage These Systems. It is Therefore Expected for the Intervention to have a Long-Term Effect on the Capacity of the Water Departments. Monitoring Activities Conducted by Si Mainly Focus on the Outcome of the Intervention by Checking if the Activities Resulted in an Improvement of the Capacity of the Water Departments to Produce Safe Water at a Specific Moment in Time. This Evaluation should Focus on Making Sure that this Increased Capacity will Lasts and to What Extent it is Resilient to Shocks. Two Main Aspects should be Considered by the Evaluation for this Point: · Quality and Sustainability of the Works Implemented by Si from the Consultant Perspective (Technical Review) · Feedback of Water Departments on Si-S Intervention Focusing Especially on the Relationship between Si and Water Departments during the Course of the Project. The Goal is to Ensure that the Way Si Worked with the Water Departments Ensured that the Intervention had a Long-Term Effect (Timeliness and Quality of the Intervention, Choice of Infrastructures and Modality of Assistance, Identification of Needs, Overall Collaboration, Etc.). This should be Investigated through the Water Departments Perspective. Second, the Evaluation will Focus on the Contractors Appointed by Si to Execute the Works, and on Their Relationship with Si. The Purpose will be to Collect and Synthetise the Contractors Feedback about They Work with Si, from the Tender Process to the Final Payment in Order to Understand How These Partnerships can be Developed and Improved to Ensure Compliance, Transparency and Accountability between Si and Contractors. The Added Value of Having this Evaluation Conducted by a Third Party instead of by Si Meal Team, is to have a Neutral Party outside of Si Gathering this Feedback. It is Therefore Crucial for the Evaluator to be Able to Guarantee some Confidentiality to the Contractors when Interviewing Contractors. Third, the Evaluation will Focus to the First Users of the Rehabilitated Water Infrastructures, Meaning Technical Operators of the Water Stations. Thus, the Evaluators should not only Collect the Feedbacks of the Water Departments Head Staffs, but Also Those of the People in the field.the Objective would be to Evaluate the Improvement Technical Capacities and Working Conditions of the Technical Operators as a Result of the Intervention. The Focus will Very Much be on the Evaluation of the Outcome of the Activities Relating to Technical Operators- Capacity Building. It is Worth Noting that as the Stations Targeted through this Intervention are Widespread across Ar Raqqa and Hassake Governorates. As Such, it is Recommended to the Evaluator to Focus on Stations Located in Tabqa and Raqqa. Findings and Recommendations should Take into Account Contextual Constraints and the Challenges of Implementation to Ensure that They can Suggest Realistic Area of Improvement and a Pragmatic Way Forward for Future Programming. Consequently, the Evaluation should Systematically Investigate Barriers for Activities being Assessed as Well as Potential Hindrances for the Implementation of Recommendations Included in the Evaluation Report. Evaluation type: ex-post performance evaluations Evaluation Methods: Project Documentation: · Proposal of Intervention and Amendments, · Project Monitoring Documents, · Assessment Reports, Boqs and Technical Specifications · Water Station Reports, Handovers · Monitoring Reports, · Technical Framework and Tools, · Activity Internal Reports, including Pictures · Purchase Files, · Supply Sops Data Collection: Quantitative Data Collected by Si Monitoring Unit through its Planned Activities Throughout the Project and Made Available to the Consultant. As Such, the Consultant will do a Secondary Review of the Available Quantitative Data and only Collect Qualitative Data through the following Activities[1]: · Site Visits, Observation in the Field, if Possible · Key Informant Interviews, Evaluation Timeline: It is Expected that the Evaluation will be Performed by the End of the Project (30/09/2021). Its Overall Duration will be of a Maximum of 6 Weeks, and the Report Delivered within a Month after the End of the Project (31/10/2021) Proposed Indicative Schedule for the Mission: The Final Detailed Schedule will be Proposed by the Consultant.
