Aim of the Assignment
The aim of this assignment is to support the capacity strengthening component of the multi-country Global Fund grant “Sustainability of services for Key Populations in MENA region”. Specifically, to conduct an end-term capacity assessment of grant sub-recipient FOCCEC.
Purpose
In Year 1 of the grant, all SRs underwent a base-line assessment to determine their organisational capacities. The purpose was two-fold – a) to identify weaknesses in their systems/functional areas that might impact delivery of grant activities; b) to jointly develop a capacity strengthening plan to be implemented over the life of the grant which would result in stronger, more sustainable organisations. In Quarter 4 of Year 3 an end-term assessment is required to measure progress on the organisational capacity strengthening. Due to COVID-19 related travel restrictions on the staff of the Principal Recipient, a Consultant based in Jordan is required to conduct the assessment of FOCCEC on their behalf.
Details
The multi-country Global Fund grant “Sustainability of services for Key Populations in MENA region” is a three-year (2019-2021) grant awarded following the funding request submitted by the Applicant, MENA Coalition on HIV and Human Rights (MENA H Coalition)\[1\]. The grant is managed by Frontline AIDS as Principal Recipient (PR) and implemented by eight sub-recipients – five national CSOs (in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia) and three regional networks.
As a grant focused on sustainability of services in a region that is largely transitioning out of Global Fund support, a substantial budget was allocated to organisational development. It is recognised that in order for high quality HIV services to be delivered by national organisations, and for effective advocacy to be carried out by regional key population networks, strong organisational systems, policies and procedures, and governance are required. As such, one priority area of the grant – included in the Performance Framework Workplan Tracking Measures – is strengthening organisational capacity of grant implementers.
The capacity strengthening approach consists of the following stages:
1. Developing a capacity assessment tool (CAT).
2. Conducting capacity assessments of all eight SRs and agreeing on a capacity strengthening plan, which includes specific technical assistance (TA) activities.
3. Implementing agreed capacity strengthening activities, either in-house by SRs or by contracting consultants.
4. Monitoring progress of capacity strengthening plan implementation.
5. Assessing final status of all activities and impact on organisational capacity.
This work stream is jointly managed by the Programme Management Unit in Beirut and the UK-based programme team. Two Senior Advisors (OD and Global Fund) developed the CAT and carried out the capacity assessments from Sep-Nov 2019.
Implementation of capacity strengthening activities started in Year 2 and continued in Year 3. Final capacity assessments must be carried out by the end of Y3Q4 to allow for results to be incorporated in the Y3 Progress Report. Due to ongoing COVID-19 related travel restrictions on PR staff, a Consultant based in Jordan is required to conduct the assessment of FOCCEC on their behalf.
Forearms of Change Centre to Enable Community (FOCCEC) is the national SR for Jordan, and sub-grants to four sub-sub-recipients. FOCCEC was established in 2012 as a non-profit organisation based in Amman, Jordan. FOCCEC’s mission is to support vulnerable and marginalised groups, especially people who use drugs, people living with HIV and persons most risk to it, and victims of sexual exploitation and domestic violence. This is done through implementation of programmess in the HIV, drug misuse, reproductive health, and gender-based violence (GBV) fields. Additionally, FOCCEC provides health, social, legal and psychological support.
The assessment will be carried out using the same Capacity Assessment Tool (CAT) utilised in the base-line assessment to allow for comparison of results. The CAT covers 12 functional areas\[2\] relevant to an organisation that is a civil society Global Fund grant implementer. Following the assessment, an updated capacity strengthening plan will be jointly developed with FOCCEC. Prior to the mission, the Consultant will be briefed on the programme and partners, and oriented to the CAT. Detailed instructions on how to use the CAT and develop the capacity strengthening plan will be provided. Following the mission, the Consultant shall produce – in addition to the completed CAT and capacity strengthening plan – a report documenting any lessons, challenges and solutions, good practices, innovations, reflections, and recommendations.
