Catholic Relief Services (CRS) seeks to contract a third-party consultancy service provider to undertake the final project evaluation of the Resilience and Food Security Program (RFSP) in South Sudan. The program is funded under United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Bureau of Humanitarian Assistance (BHA) and has been implemented in South Sudan by a consortium of CRS and Save the Children since 2017.
The program’s goal is to improve food security for conflict-affected households (HH) in Greater Jonglei. RFSP is an integrated multisector program with interventions in disaster risk reduction (DRR), agriculture, livestock, fisheries, nutrition, water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) and social cohesion. This program has been designed as a flexible response to address the interlocking problems of conflict and displacement, recurring food insecurity and vulnerability to shocks in the target counties of Greater Jonglei in South Sudan.
The final evaluation seeks to assess the impact and efficiency of Resilience and Food Security Program (RFSP) in South Sudan interventions implemented since February 2017, in terms of achieving SOs and IRs and producing unintended results, whether positive or negative. The evaluation will also assess how the management, implementation and external factors affected results to inform future food security programming. In particular, the evaluation will look at the following.
