War Child UK Evaluator for our Goma projects, D.R. Congo


BACKGROUND
Conflict and the humanitarian crisis have caused over 5.4 million deaths in DRC since 198 . Conflict continues in the East of the country, with a multitude of rebel groups engaging in periodic fighting with the Congolese army. This has lead to the recurrent displacement of thousands in eastern Provinces and the continued destruction and dilapidation of infrastructure including schools, health services and other social services. Since the start of March 2012, North Kivu has been affected by the movement of and attacks by armed groups, with resulting consequences for the protection of civilians.
Children and young people (CYP) continue to experience grave violations of their rights in DRC, particularly since the continued insecurity has contributed to inaction, lack of resources and corruption by the Government. As a result, the systems and services that should protect children do not function. In eastern DRC, violations of children’s rights are widespread, from child labour and sexual exploitation, to limited birth registration and access to child friendly justice. However CYP have little recourse to claim their rights.
Although the DRC Government has ratified the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child (CRC) and has a well-written Child Protection law (2009), these laws remain unknown, under resourced and unenforced. Children, parents, civil society members, social service workers, government officials and traditional leaders lack information about children’s rights and the means and support to establish and maintain systems and mechanisms to ensure their protection.
The vital elements required for effective community based child protection mechanisms – namely a skilled child protection workforce and an informed and supportive public; basic and targeted services to prevent violence and exploitation and provide care, support and reintegration assistance in situations of violence, abuse and separation; knowledge and data on child protection issues as well as coordinated support among actors providing prevention and response services – are severely lacking in North Kivu.
Since 2010, War Child UK has worked with a local organisation (Don Bosco) to implement a project in response to these needs with funding from Comic Relief and European Union, as well as a number of smaller donors. The local organisation in partnership with WCUK provided these children with sustainable reintegration opportunities, including a secure and protective environment including literacy training, psychosocial support, vocational training, reunification services and micro–credit to their families. It also developed community-based child protection referral, co-ordination and service delivery networks. It is hoped that these will result in long-term social reintegration of the participating children in their communities, and enable them to contribute to the development of their communities with newly acquired skills and competencies.
The project directly worked with girls formerly associated with fighting and armed groups, girl–mothers, other vulnerable girls and girls denied their rights to education and protection.
War Child have been awarded 2 grants that overlap geographically and with similar objectives from the EU and Comic Relief. The field teams have been implementing both projects as if they are one, phasing objectives appropriately. For the context of this evaluation, all the objectives should continue to be looked at as one project. For clarification, the EU project is running for 3 years and the Comic Relief project for 2.5 yrs (originally 2 years, with a 6 month no cost extension (NCE).
PURPOSE OF THE CONSULTANCY To reliably and representatively evaluate the impact and extent to which the project programmes have achieved their goal and objectives.
