1. PROJECT Background

Save The Children (STC) has been present in Indonesia since 1976, and became a locally registered foundation in Indonesia, known as Yayasan Sayangi Tunas Cilik (YSTC), in 2014. YSTC is one of the largest child-rights organisations in Indonesia, with over 500 staff, and delivering programmes across a number of thematic areas including health, nutrition, child protection, education and child poverty. YSTC has significant humanitarian experience, from the El Nino event in Sumba, Lombok Earthquake, Central Sulawesi Earthquake and Tsunami to the recent Covid-19 response. In these emergencies, YSTC responded with national staff through a holistic emergency response.

On Friday 28 September, a series of strong earthquakes struck the Central Sulawesi province of Indonesia. The strongest earthquake, registered at a magnitude of 7.4, was only 10 km deep, with its epicentre close to the provincial capital, Palu. The earthquake triggered a tsunami striking beach in Palu and Donggala. The earthquakes, tsunami and resulting liquefaction and landslides have caused devastating damage and high loss of life, affecting the lives of 1.5 million people including 375,000 children. In October 2018, STC started its operation in Central Sulawesi after the earthquake and tsunami hit the province.

STC has operational presence in three city/district, namely Palu, Sigi, and Donggala with two operation field offices located in Palu and Donggala. STC implements programs in six sectors: child protection, education, water sanitation & hygiene (WASH), health & nutrition, shelter, and food security & livelihood (FSL).

The overall response goal is: Contribute to immediate and lasting change in the lives of earthquake and tsunami -affected children and their families: through urgent humanitarian assistance, continued access to basic services and with active participation in their own recovery. STC focus on three strategic priorities during the response, there are

1). To maximise impact for the hardest to reach through integration;
2) to leverage impact supporting the government with technical expertise;
3) to be a lolised response through strengthened national capacity.

Education and Child Protection, the largest sectors, are at the centre of all programme design for geographical integration; this is complemented by further sector level integration. By ensuring programme, design and operations are integrated we expected the efficiency in the use of resources is increased, and, more importantly, the most vulnerable families receive a comprehensive package of support. To accommodate this, STC also developed response framework to operationalize the impact from each sector to the affected communities as follow:

Sector	Objectives	Outcome
Child Protection	Ensure life-saving protection and psychosocial well-being and resiliency support for children and families, including Unaccompanied and Separated Children (UASC), impacted by the Sulawesi earthquake and tsunami	Outcome 1.

Up to now, the Central Sulawesi Emergency Response has reached around 218,253 beneficiaries including 104,807 children through various activities. The response is supported by various donors from different countries with total amount is approximately USD 17 Million for all sectors. The response is also supported by the Disaster Emergency Committee (DEC) from United Kingdom (UK). The DEC has supported Central Sulawesi Emergency Response through two phases where the first phases was delivery on response phase (November 2018 until March 2019) with total amount approximately GBP 2.1 Million while the second phase is delivery during April 2019 until September 2020 with total budget is GBP 2.3 Million.

In Phase 2, the DEC supported activities were focused to FSL, WASH, Shelter, and Education sectors in our priority villages in Sigi and Donggala with the following outcome:

Outcome 1. Adolescent girls in Central Sulawesi are supported to develop the skills necessary to conduct viable and dignified income generating activities.

Outcome 2. Community groups in Central Sulawesi are support to design and implement recovery projects.

Outcome 3. Affected children and their families in Central Sulawesi have improved access to clean, safe and equitable quantities of water

Outcome 4. Affected children and their families in Central Sulawesi have improved hygiene and sanitation behaviour

Outcome 5. Affected community members have raised awareness and increased skills to build safer and stronger shelters.

Outcome 6. Affected households in Central Sulawesi are enabled to build adequate transitional shelter (for midterm shelter solution) to minimise health and protection related risks

Outcome 7 School committees are supported to carry out minor repairs to classrooms and school grounds.

Through community engagement approach, STC has already reached around 30,000 beneficiaries (up to March 2020) whereas half of them are female beneficiaries. All the project activity was designed to engage community, including children closely. Through our complaint and feedback Mechanism (CFM) community also have opportunities to address their complaint and feedback via available channel such as hotline number, complaint and feedback box, face to face with staff and community/children consultation. STC has established strong and credible relations with the Government of Indonesia (GoI) and national civil society and is able to scale up and provide relief efforts with no restrictions.

2. EVALUATION CONTEXT

Central Sulawesi is a new response area for STC, prior to the crisis STC had an office in Makassar, South Sulawesi. The decision to respond in Central Sulawesi indicated YSTC’s commitment and ambition to programme in the region for the foreseeable future. Currently, STC is operating two field offices: Donggala Office located in Tambu Sub District that covers Donggala operation and Central West Office located in Palu to cover Palu and Sigi area. Each office is led by a Senior Field Manager (SFM) who report to Humanitarian Directors based in Jakarta.

STC has established strong and credible relations with the Government of Indonesia (GoI) and national civil society and is able to scale up and provide relief efforts with no restrictions. In Central Sulawesi Response, STC working closely with the Provincial Response Lead along with relevant Provincial/District Office, such as Badan Penanggulangan Bencana Daerah (BPD)/Provincial Disaster Management, Education Office, Social Affair Office, and Health Office. Along with other humanitarian organization and UN agency, STC contribute in the relevant cluster activity, including jointly coordinating the Education cluster with UNICEF.

The Central Sulawesi response has been rated as high quality against international and Indonesian standards and are coordinated with the Indonesian government to build technical capacity. The technical quality team also developed quality benchmark that is referred by program implementation team as a standard for the activity. The quality benchmark was developed according to technical international humanitarian standards – SPHERE Standards, Child Protection Minimum Standard (CPMS) and Inter-Agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) and Core Humanitarian Standard (CHS).

Six months after the disaster, STC reviewed the Master Strategy to give more context to the recovery period, as well as to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of its intervention. Integration is one approach that was key in the programme design from the beginning. However, the implementation was still sectoral, so Save the Children established a Community Engagement team to ensure the sectoral integration implementation at field as well as to mobilize the community effectively. Alongside this, the field team also prioritised focus on priority villages to ensure the most vulnerable communities received integrated assistance.

The response also has several delays: it was not fully operational during March– April 2019 due to the National Election and its campaign period, (we did not deliver any distribution as per request by the government). We also had to minimize our activity during Ramadhan and Eid Holiday during May – June 2019.

The response itself has been reviewed twice already in the initial six months as a part of STC Category 2 emergency response: an Operation Cost Review (OCR) to assess the operational aspect and a Real Time Review (RTR) to assess the program quality during the response. Each review suggested several action plans, which have been followed up both by National and Field team. This evaluation should focus specifically on the period six months onward from the disaster – the same period from when the STC funding for DEC Phase 2 was activated.

In March 2020, the Government of Indonesia (GOI) declared the global COVID-19 outbreak as a national emergency, restricting movement and activities outside the home to avoid the spread of the virus. This has also affected STC’s movements on the ground with the postponement of several activities and others adapted onto online platforms to adjust to the COVID-19 situation. STC have also adjusted their activity to support the Government Response on COVID-19 in Central Sulawesi. Hence, this final evaluation should also take account these circumstances both for the operations and program evaluation, as well as data collection processes.

3. PURPOSE & Scope of evaluation

3.1 Purpose and objective

Purpose

This evaluation is being conducted at the end of the Central Sulawesi Emergency Response – and in the final period of DEC Phase 2 funding. It will build upon the sectoral baseline, internal end line assessment, internal assessment as well as regular monitoring.

The primary focus of the current evaluation is to provide information about the results of Central Sulawesi Emergency Response, including its success and failure as part of our accountability to affected population as well as relevant stakeholders, especially our donors, so STC can improve the quality of its responses in the future.

Objectives

There are several objectives for the current evaluation as follows:

To describe, assess, review and critically evaluate the achievement of results - both intended and unintended, positive and negative – and identify major factors which influence those results.
To examine the response/project design relevance and implementation fidelity
To gain insights into the level of beneficiaries and stakeholder (e.g., community and local/national government, implementing partners, donor) satisfaction and expectation towards the response activities.
To document the lessons learned from the project implementation, including those pertaining to approaches, sector integration, gender mainstreaming, child participation, project management, and partnerships.
To provide recommendations according to the findings of the evaluation to enable STC to sustain the benefits of the project and effectively adapt its Humanitarian Strategy for future humanitarian crisis response both in Indonesia and globally.

3.2 Scope

The evaluation will focus on several considerations as follow:

The evaluation will focus on the implementation of the activity from six months after the disaster
The evaluation will focus on the implementation of the whole emergency response that conducted by STC across the sectors along with the implementation and contribution of the DEC Phase 2 Funding
The evaluation needs to take into consideration the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) and CHS indicator to measure the success of response quality and operation, as well as lessons learned
The evaluation also needs to take into consideration all operational activity due to the COVID-19 crisis situation that may impact project implementation, as well as the planned evaluation implementation

Child safe programming	Have the response and project been designed, planned, implemented and monitored to ensure it is safe for children? How has child safety been integrated into the project design and implementation of activities? What aspects of the project make children feel safe? How has the project assessed the risks for children and do these risks still exist to date? Have they been reduced, controlled and managed by the minimising actions? Are there new risks? What further measures do we need to implement to reduce, remove and control these new emerging risks.
Accountability	How has the project approached accountability to children? How did feedback from children influence decision making?

4. Evaluation Methodology

4.1 Research design and sampling

It is expected that this evaluation will involve:

§ Mix methods (quantitative and qualitative methods) for relevant group

§ Purposive Sampling for Stakeholder, such as government, relevant NGO, relevant Cluster Coordination Group, including internal staff

§ Simple Random Sampling for Beneficiaries from the beneficiaries list Data

All primary data collected during the course of the evaluation must facilitate disaggregation by gender, age, location, disability status, including vulnerability status/group. STC will provide guidance on tools and classification schemes for this minimum dataset.

Existing STC data sources that can be drawn on in the evaluation include:

§ Response Strategy, including master log frames

§ Response Update

§ Project Report

§ Internal Review (RTR, OCR)

§ DEC 2 Project Documents

§ Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, Learning (MEAL) Data (e.g. Post Distribution Monitoring/PDM, Accountability in Brief, Outcome Monitoring Report)

§ Communication Materials, including Case Study

STC may provide enumerators to assist with primary data collection. Data triangulation is expected for this evaluation. It will be a requirement of the Evaluation team to source additional external data sources to add value to the evaluation, such as government administrative data.

A range of project documentation will be made available to the Evaluation team that provides information about response strategy, implementation and operation of the project

The Evaluation team is required to adhere to the STC Child Safeguarding, Data protection and Privacy policies throughout all project activities.

4.2 Methodologies

We may expect to have this methodology for the evaluation survey, but would not be limited to:

1. Desk review of key documents, including strategy documents, prior evaluation reports, monitoring reports and other documents judged relevant.

2. Literature search and review of material on the environment in which the project operates, and recent developments which impact objectives and activities

3. Interviews with key project staffs, representatives of the project’s stakeholders (local government, implementing partners, key informants, past evaluators, donors, etc.)

4. Probabilistic sample surveys of targeted beneficiaries or groups of stakeholders

5. Focus group discussions with targeted beneficiaries and stakeholders

6. Other participatory approaches, such as “most significant change”

7. Case studies, which usually require site visits to judge the outcomes and impacts

8. Physical inspection of some products or facilities and/or measurement of environmental factors affecting results.

9. Independent assessment of prior baseline or end line survey/assessments.

10. Analysis of results by methodologies such as “before/after” comparison of baseline and end line; or “with/without” comparison with a control group’

11. Attendance at beneficiary meetings, workshops, and training activities.

12. Review of evaluations and annual reports of other project in the same sector and with the same/similar target population

There will be discussion between the evaluation steering committee and the selected contractor/consultant on the methodology and work plan. This occurs after the contractor have had the chance to review background materials and monitoring data, and after speaking with key project personnel. This discussion can either take the form of an informal exchange of ideas over a select period of time, or the drafting by the contractor of a formal report or INCEPTION REPORT.

4.3 Ethical considerations

It is expected that the evaluation will adhere to ethical guidelines as outlined in evaluation association (e.g., the American Evaluation Association’s Guiding Principles for Evaluators). A summary of these guidelines is provided below, and a more detailed description can be found at www.eval.org/Publications/GuidingPrinciplesPrintable.asp.

It is expected that this evaluation will be:

Child participatory. Children should be meaningfully involved in the evaluation as a holistic process and not only as informants. Refer to the Practice Standards in Children’s Participation (International STC Alliance 2005); and Global Indicator technical guidance (SCI M&E handouts Package, Volume 2).

Inclusive. Ensure that children from different ethnic, social and religious backgrounds have the chance to participate, as well as children with disabilities and children who may be excluded or discriminated against in their community.

Ethical: The evaluation must be guided by the following ethical considerations:

o Respect for People - evaluators respect the security, dignity and self-worth of respondents, project participants, clients, and other evaluation stakeholders.
