Closing Date: 8 Oct 2026 Type: Consultancy Oxfam is a global movement of people who are fighting inequality to end poverty and injustice. Across regions, from the local to the global, we work with people to bring change that lasts. Click Here to view the post overview BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT The purpose of this Terms of Reference (ToR) is to outline the scope, responsibilities, and deliverables for a consultant (individual or firm) who will be responsible for conducting an endline assessment and final evaluation for the Global Affairs Canada (GAC)-funded project Reducing GBV and Inequality through Lifesaving WASH and Protection: An Integrated Response to Crisis-affected Communities in Yemen, Lebanon and Syria (20242026). The project aims to reduce suffering and improve the protection environment for crisis-affected communities, especially women and girls, including GBV survivors and persons with specific needs, through improved, equitable and gender-responsive access to protection and WASH services. The consultant will be expected to conduct a final evaluation and endline assessment of the project to measure its progress toward achieving the desired outcomes, including both originally planned and adaptive interventions introduced in response to emerged challenges. The two products are commissioned as a single combined assignment, delivered as one consolidated report with a distinct Endline Findings section and a distinct Final Evaluation section, so that the same data collection tools, samples and fieldwork can serve both purposes. As detailed below, the consultants role differs by country: in Lebanon and Syria the consultant leads data collection, analysis and reporting directly; in Yemen, data collection will be carried out by Oxfams Yemen office team, with the consultant responsible for the analysis and reporting of that data. PROJECT BACKGROUND The project is funded by Global Affairs Canada (GAC) over a duration of 24 months. Its Performance Measurement Framework (Annex 8) sets out 53 indicators across the ultimate, intermediate, immediate outcome and output levels, disaggregated across Yemen, Lebanon and Syria. The project seeks to reduce gender-based violence (GBV) and inequality and improve access to lifesaving assistance for crisis-affected communities in Yemen, Lebanon and Syria, through two integrated components: Protection: Strengthening safe, confidential and informed use of lifesaving, gender-responsive protection services, including GBV services, legal assistance, and cash for protection, and building the self-protection capacity of communities and frontline actors. WASH: Enhancing equitable use of lifesaving, gender-responsive WASH services including drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene while reducing the risk of GBV associated with WASH service delivery. Women Leadership in humanitarian action: Including training and support mechanisms provided to enhance local womens leadership in and influence over humanitarian response. The project is implemented through local partners in each country: in Yemen, the Field Medical Foundation (FMF, WASH activities in Al-Qubaytah, Lahj governorate) and the Coalition of Humanitarian Relief (CHR, WASH and protection activities in Maqbanah, Taiz governorate); in Syria, the Syrian Society for Social Development (SSSD) and the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch and the Easts Development Department (GOPA-DERD); and in Lebanon, the Association NABAD for Development (NABAD), KAFA (Enough) Violence & Exploitation, and the Lebanese Center for Human Rights (CLDH).

The final evaluation The final evaluation aims to assess the projects overall impact, effectiveness, efficiency, relevance, coherence, and sustainability at the end of its implementation period. The evaluation will examine how the intervention contributed to more systematic, safe and confidential access to protection and GBV services, and to enhanced, equitable and gender-responsive use of WASH services, across Yemen, Lebanon and Syria. It will also analyze the projects adaptability in response to evolving crises and access constraints, and how such adjustments enhanced the relevance, flexibility, and responsiveness of the intervention. The evaluation will apply the OECD-DAC criteria and review achievements against project targets and outcome indicators, identify enabling and limiting factors, explore unintended effects (including protection and safeguarding risks), and assess the quality of stakeholder engagement, GBV survivor-centred programming, and the projects contribution to localization. The evaluation will provide an independent, evidence-based analysis that ensures accountability to GAC and affected communities while generating actionable recommendations for future humanitarian programming. The Endline Study: The endline study will collect the final values for the projects key indicators, as set out in the Performance Measurement Framework (Annex 8), to assess overall project performance and progress toward intended results. The endline will primarily measure achievement against end of project targets and, where routine monitoring data exists, changes over the life of the project. Beyond indicator tracking, the endline should also explore the projects contribution to intended and unintended outcomes, an area of particular interest to both GAC and Oxfam drawing on qualitative evidence (KIIs, FGDs, and the outcome harvesting exercise described under Methodology) to complement the quantitative indicator results. The methodology should be applied consistently across Yemen, Lebanon and Syria to allow for aggregation and comparison, while remaining sensitive to the distinct context, access, and security conditions of each country, including the country-differentiated data collection modality described in the Methodology and Roles and Responsibilities sections below. The scope of this assignment The scope of this assignment covers all three project countries (Yemen, Lebanon and Syria), all outputs and their related outcomes (see results chain and outputs table above), and the full 24-month implementation period. It includes both a quantitative component (household/beneficiary survey against PMF indicators) and a qualitative component (KIIs, FGDs, case studies and an outcome harvesting exercise), covering both the endline indicator results and the analytical final evaluation against the OECD-DAC criteria. It excludes a full financial/value-for-money audit, which falls outside this assignment. The specific evaluation and research questions that define this scope in more detail are set out in the Key Evaluation Questions table below and will be finalized with Oxfam during the inception phase. METHODOLOGY The key steps to be followed, though not exhaustive, and the detailed modality and work plan will be agreed during the consultation meeting, and include: 3.1 Endline Study Methodology The endline study will focus on measuring changes in key project indicators and will provide quantitative and qualitative evidence of progress toward the achievement of the projects intended outcomes. For Syria and Lebanon, the endline methodology should, to the extent possible, maintain consistency with the methodology and data collection tools used during the baseline study. This will allow for more meaningful comparison between baseline and endline findings and support the assessment of changes over the course of the project. Any necessary adaptations to the baseline methodology or tools should be clearly justified and agreed during the inception phase. 3.2 Final Evaluation Methodology The final evaluation will assess the overall performance and strategic value of the project, using a mixed-methods approach grounded in the OECD DAC evaluation criteria: relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact, sustainability, and coherence. The purpose is to generate evidence-based insights on how well the project achieved its intended objectives, the quality and durability of outcomes, and the lessons learned especially in the context of protracted crisis, active conflict, and GBV risk. Evaluation Design The evaluation will triangulate findings from the endline data with additional qualitative and contextual analysis. This will ensure a comprehensive and balanced understanding of project achievements, limitations, and adaptations. Key Evaluation Questions Click here to view the key evaluation questions part one and part two Data Collection Methods Document Review: Review of all relevant project documents, including the Logic Model, PMF, monitoring data, progress reports, financial records, and conflict/access impact assessments. Household/Beneficiary Survey: A structured quantitative survey administered to a representative sample of project participants/beneficiaries in each country, to measure progress against the PMFs outcome and output indicators (e.g., access to protection and GBV services, equitable use of WASH services, self-protection capacity). The survey should collect sex, age and disability disaggregated data consistent with the projects M&E approach. The survey will be conducted using a digital data collection platform (SurveyCTO). In Lebanon and Syria, the survey will be built and hosted on Oxfams SurveyCTO domain, with access granted to the consultant.
