Consultant Final Evaluation : Building and Deepening Resilience in Eastern Indonesia Project
Oxfam has been implementing Building and Deepening Resilience in Eastern Indonesia (BDR) project since June 2012. It is a 18 months project co-funded by AIFDR and DG ECHO.
Purpose
“strengthened capacity of communities, local government and CSOs in Eastern Indonesia to reduce risks and vulnerabilities particularly for vulnerable groups and improve livelihood resilience particularly related to climate change”.
The project has three expected results:
Increased capacity of sub-national government and non-government actors
in Papua, West Papua, NTT and NTB provinces to facilitate reduced
disaster risk focusing on vulnerable groups and stakeholder approache.
Vulnerable communities in Papua, West Papua, NTT and NTB provinces are
empowered to increase their livelihood resilience, reduce disaster risk
and adapt to predicted impacts of climate change.
Strengthened women’s leadership in DRR at all levels and experiences
utilised to influence national policies and approaches.
In early period of project implementation, Oxfam has conducted: (1) baseline survey to measure the project indicators as stated in the project log frame, and (2) Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) survey to measure the KAP level of the community and district government related to Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation. Moreover, having undertaken the interventions in collaboration with the local partners, Oxfam considers the importance of conducting an evaluation to identify the changes taken place in the assisted districts and take lessons learned from the BDR project. The finding of the evaluation will be a strategic foundation for Oxfam’s future interventions on resilience in Indonesia.
Objectives
The evaluation aims to obtain evidence from the project sites related to
the main questions below:
- Project achievement compared to the baseline survey result
- Project achievement compared to the KAP survey result
- Project achievement in terms of Development Assistance Committee (DAC)
evaluation criteria, i.e relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact,
and sustainability.

Details of DAC evaluation criteria
Relevance: The extent to which the aid activity is suited to the
priorities and policies of the target group, recipient and donor. In
evaluating the relevance of a programme or a project, it is useful to
consider the following questions:
· To what extent are the objectives of the programme still valid?
· Are the activities and outputs of the programme consistent with the
overall goal and the attainment of its objectives?
· Are the activities and outputs of the programme consistent with the
intended impacts and effects?
Effectiveness: A measure of the extent to which an aid activity
attains its objectives. In evaluating the effectiveness of a
programme or a project, it is useful to consider the following
questions:
· To what extent were the objectives achieved / are likely to be
achieved?
· What were the major factors influencing the achievement or
non-achievement of the objectives?
Efficiency: measures the outputs -- qualitative and quantitative -- in
relation to the inputs. It is an economic term which signifies that
the aid uses the least costly resources possible in order to achieve
the desired results. This generally requires comparing alternative
approaches to achieving the same outputs, to see whether the most
efficient process has been adopted. When evaluating the efficiency of
a programme or a project, it is useful to consider the following
questions:
· Were activities cost-efficient?
· Were objectives achieved on time?
· Was the programme or project implemented in the most efficient way
compared to alternatives?
Impact: The positive and negative changes produced by a development
intervention, directly or indirectly, intended or unintended. When
evaluating the impact of a programme or a project, it is useful to
consider the following questions:
· What has happened as a result of the programme or project?
· What real difference has the activity made to the beneficiaries?
· How many people have been affected?
Sustainability:is concerning with measuring whether the benefits of an
activity are likely to continue after donor funding has been
withdrawn. When evaluating the sustainability of a programme or a
project, it is useful to consider the following questions:
· To what extent did the benefits of a programme or project continue
after donor funding ceased?
· What were the major factors which influenced the achievement or
non-achievement of sustainability of the programme or project?
Time Frame
Final evaluation will be conducted from January 22 to March 10, 2014
